General

  • 51k bytes–the lede should get expanded, if possible.
    Vacant0, is that enough or should I expand it further? Pahunkat (talk) 15:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rest of the article is good and well-written, I haven't noticed any errors while reading.
  • Copyvio unlikely, 8.3%–passes.
  • It is neutral, and there haven't been any disputes lately.

Pictures of Scammers

[edit]

Should some pictures of scammers be uploaded? We can have individuals, their names and address listed, we can have pictures of inside the call centers and the address of the call center. We can have information about their life, their arrest, the arresting officer's name, etc. Vmelkon (talk) 00:49, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's not a good idea, especially for an encyclopedia that anyone could edit. The policy is at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, but just imagine if someone got mad at you, and posted your name and address in this article... WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:52, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Vmelkon, isnt that doxing? Additionally, potential copyvios may arise if we do this. — Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 00:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
