doubt you have multiple IP pages on your watchlist that have recently just edited. You stalk me Jack, admit it. You would be shocked at the sheer number of emails I get from other Knowledge (XXG) editors who ask why I put up with such obvious wikistalking. And let's not overlook your tendency to brag that others have taken you on and lost. Maybe I'm just waiting for you to screw up badly enough. It will happen.

It's not bad faith to say you're wikistalking me. Despite your self-professed huge watchlist, you have a very blatant tendency to show up on talk pages or articles where you have never edited, to post disparagements of me, and there is no other conclusion than you followed me there, since I highly

for groups of living people does not in any way prevent the articles from accurately reporting if the group is criminal in nature, and makes it much easier to change the article in the event of errors, new information, or if a club falls into ill repute or a gang turns over a new leaf.

Here are a couple alternative suggestions I have come up with, which could be used alone or together to form some concrete guidelines. I hope others joining the discussion can add their own ideas. (I have used

There are secondary sources such as experts that have analyzed the group that say the group is a criminal organization. This would require further discussion similar to Proposal 3.
294: 274: 588:
Proposal 1 is wrong, as it is obvious from the Hells Angels and Crips articles that they are criminal organizations (and both have reliable sources labeling them as such).

There is a consensus amongst editors that the group is a criminal organization, notwithstanding the nature of the sources (discussed more below). This would include

yes, when they were first added, the categories were not created, so I was just making sure there was a standard naming convention and no category redlinks.

I just added some templatedata so (in the future) this template will be included in the templatedata parameter report linked from the templatedata block.
367: 807: 536:
My personal opinion at this point is a combination of Proposals 1 and 2, possibly with the addition of Proposal 4, but I'm mostly undecided for now.
151: 235: 838:
Since you supported my proposal, and no one else has objected, I went ahead and added a note to that effect to the template documentation page.
