[edit] Seal as an image for the infobox

Why is there not the original, or a lower quality seal image in the infobox? I've spent a few minutes looking above and don't see the reason. Thanks. -Shootbamboo (talk) 00:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Restored. -Shootbamboo (talk) 03:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for Notable FBI personnel?

Is the criteria former agents or directors who already have Wikipedia pages? Some have notable investigative experience, but it is unclear who makes this list and why.Parkwells (talk) 21:25, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm confused about the infobox at the bottom of the page in that respect as well. For example, which is Rod Blagojevich there and not John Douglas? 75.158.106.200 (talk) 02:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] "Indian Reservations"

Does anyone think that the line "It is the government agency responsible for investigating crimes on Indian Reservations in the United States" should be changed to read "Native Americans" instead of "Indian"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.140.209 (talkcontribs)

If it were just the term for the people, "Indian" vs "Native American", I'd say that would be fine, but it doesn't. It is the term for the reservation, which is more commonly know as an Indian Reservation that describes land owned by Native Americans. See this discussion - Talk:Indian_reservation#Requested_move. In this sense, I believe the term is probably a proper noun in itself, and should use the most common term as described by reliable sources. So at this point, I would disagree with such a change. If the Indian reservation article gets renamed based on a discussion and consensus, then we should follow suit and use the term of the article. Morphh (talk) 14:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

For such a high profile public agency I would expect to find fewer problems than I'm finding in this article. Please help with cleanup, everyone. Pinetalk 09:23, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
