Did they really play Robot Boy during A Thousand Suns? Do you remember when that happened? Lauraloo77 (talk) 16:44, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

Ahhhh, thanks anyway! I write reviews for the episodes now, and it would be good to know if one of my favourite bands was featured in the episode. But it's okay :D Lauraloo77 (talk) 17:12, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

So, no one on Twitter wants to tell me, and I just watched the entire episode with no distractions and I didn't hear Robot Boy D: Idk what to say. Lauraloo77 (talk) 23:05, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

Please, please, PLEASE ban Darth Kieduss the Wise. This guy's creating terrible articles with no real effort and the only effort he put into it was merely copy-and-paste stuff from the BAU's profile of the unsub! UnSub-Zero (talk) 04:20, November 6, 2014 (UTC)

Volvo Amazon (Reid's Car)
I have a picture that I think would be a better representation for the "original Volvo Amazon P130 122S" on the page for that vehicle. The current image is lacking the chrome detail at the front center of the hood. From studying screen captures, I've concluded that both of the amazons Reid drove had that chrome detail. It's a pearl white model with a similar angle. I will upload the picture and you can delete it if you don't like it. Let me know if you think it is a suitable replacement for the other picture, please.Suceress (talk) 12:34, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

I uploaded the picture but the interface would not let me insert it. Does it need to be a different filetype? It was PNG, which has good resolution. Does it have to be JPG to work?Suceress (talk) 03:41, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

PLEASE BAN
I want you to ban Darth Kieduss the Wise NOW. I am so SICK AND TIRED of him making such crappy, incomplete articles and leaving them alone as if he expects the rest of us to finish his dirty work. I'M DONE WITH HIM AND I WANT HIM GONE! UnSub-Zero (talk) 04:57, April 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * WHY is he not banned yet? I am not going to let this go until you take care of it! UnSub-Zero (talk) 05:30, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Done. For now, short time with a clear warning about why. Let's see if this works. - Mvpl TALK 13:49, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * THANK YOU! My God, I was getting REALLY frustrated with his edits, as you can see from my urgent messaging. Again, thank you, and sorry for being aggressive about my pleas. UnSub-Zero (talk) 17:41, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * There's a difference between:
 * - starting an article that's left unfinished and/or adding links for articles that are necessary, marking them as such, but not writing them (as most of us have done at times)
 * - writing things that are obviously incorrect to rile up other editors.
 * The former can be due to lack of time, lack of info and/or lack of skills to complete the task; this is normal and the reason a wiki is a collaborative effort. The latter is unacceptable - Mvpl TALK 17:53, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I know, right?! I mean, it's pretty obvious from the amount of detail to the profile sections that this guy was definitely watching the episode. Yet he leaves everything else blank? What in the world?! UnSub-Zero (talk) 18:07, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Stuff that needs to be deleted

Re: D.C Hebephile
"It is unknown if this man actually lives in Washington, D.C. The article was titled under the assumption that the Callahan family lives in the city."

In Protection, after Kate returns to Quantico, she texts Meg, who tells Markayla that Kate is back in town. Wouldn't that mean the Callahans live in Virginia and not D.C?

Murali9395 (talk) 22:04, May 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * I only titled the article that way because I didn't know where the Callahans lived at the time and considering Kate works for the FBI, a federal agency, I decided to generalize it and assume she lived in D.C. However, there is a good chance the hebephile will be identified in The Hunt, so I suggest we keep the title as it is because we're gonna know his or her identity in two more days anyway. UnSub-Zero (talk) 22:08, May 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * 2 things:
 * - Saying "I'm back in town" is a set phrase, you can't conclude the person saying that lives in an actual town, a big city or lost in the woods just because of it.
 * - UnSub-Zero has it right, this unsub's article needed a title and we didn't have enough references to be accurate at the time. And now is only a matter of a couple days before we know for sure and can title it correctly without in-between changes

Peter Sutcliffe
My edits to the Peter Sutcliffe wiki have been reverted? They were regarding the killing of Yvonne Pearson. The wiki incorrectly states that she was bludgeoned to death with a boulder. This theory was entertained for three years until the apprehension and subsequent interrogation of Sutcliffe revealed that he had infact used a lump hammer. Cross (1981) p.107


 * I reverted them because you had no source for the information (which you need to add to verify the information), and since you weren't signed in, I thought you were another vandal, because vandals love to roam around free in this wiki. UnSub-Zero (talk) 22:54, May 10, 2015 (UTC)

Photos to delete?
Hey! When you have the time, do you think you can delete the photos in this following gallery? I was planning on using them for future Real Criminal articles, but it's obvious now I won't have the time to get to all of them now. Thanks! UnSub-Zero (talk) 01:57, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

UnSub-Zero
Not sure if this is the right place.

I give people the benefit of the doubt, and treat them as if I were in their position myself. I cannot find myself agreeing with or supporting UnSub-Zero at all in most of his edits. Though he is clearly an American, some of his verbiage, diction, and vocabulary use have been bad enough such that I find myself believing that he has very recently started studying English as a 2nd language.

For example, on Allen Archer's unsub page, he misuses the word "attempted". I don't have a laundry list in front of me, but that is rather an example as opposed to a comprehensive list.

Sincerely and honestly,

Rock8591 (talk) 23:19, August 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * I confirmed it to you already: I don't have a second language, and English has always been my primary language. My choice for "attempted" was intentional, even though I know Allen's bombing was completely unintentional. Lots of people were nearly about to die regardless, and the survivors known so far all suffered serious enough injuries that they could've died from. No other word in my opinion could describe their near-death experiences. UnSub-Zero (talk) 23:49, August 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * By that logic, if I have a car accident where I hit a dog that ran out into the middle of the road in front of me, prompting me to hit the brakes...I "attempted" to kill the dog. Rock8591 (talk) 02:35, August 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's an animal, though, not a human... UnSub-Zero (talk) 02:54, August 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * This is exactly the kind of nonsense that I'm talking about. You're deflecting the topic. If I had struck a person who ran out into the middle of the road while I hit the brakes...while he didn't look both ways for traffic, no law enforcement agency on earth would say that I "attempted" to hit the guy, much less kill him.  Rock8591 (talk) 03:50, August 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * What? First of all, my apologies for not elaborating any further; I didn't have enough time on my hands at the moment. Second of all, I said that because a human accidentally hitting a dog with his car and an unintentional mass-casualty incident (not involving animals, mind you) are not the best comparable things to use for an argument. Third of all, your newest example makes sense, but the argument still doesn't hold up with Allen's example. He was planning on intentionally using a bomb against someone. He may not have intended to kill that person, but there is always that chance of the bomb still killing that person and anyone else nearby, even if the bomb wasn't positioned near the gas mains. He could've done something else, more harmless, to gain attention, but instead, he intentionally chose to emulate a potentially destructive M.O. that was capable of taking many lives at once. He clearly wanted to hurt someone for his own gain, which is an aggravating factor to the whole incident. UnSub-Zero (talk) 04:01, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Looks like it's my turn. FIRST, is me who has English as her 2nd language, and sad to tell you, but that means scratch about anyone's ability to use any language, because I've seen time and again how my English is much better than what many Americans and British use, who all should know better.

SECOND, I don't know if there are other instances when words are misused to explain characters/plots/situations (I can't check every single edit), BUT there are some points that need to be remembered by all apparently: And THIRD, cat-fights between editors lead NOWHERE. If anyone has a problem or a doubt, ask me and we'll see what can be worked out to solve it. - Mvpl TALK 15:46, August 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a wiki about a TV SHOW, not real life cases being discussed in real time.
 * Criminal Minds IS based on real cases, BUT:
 * Out of all agents, current and past, only Hotch would have had a chance of working in the real BAU (the rest wouldn't stand a chance, with Rossi and Gideon retired for real, forcefully or willingly, by the time the show started). By now, Hotch too would be OUT of the BAU and the FBI, due to the high number of people the writers have made him kill. Not even getting into the "they fly coach" and "rarely work in teams" points, but if you don't believe me, ask @JimClemente
 * "Based on Real Cases" means a big amount of fiction is mingled in the scripts. Trying to make their cases fit into the real world legal system is an impossibility from that point onward; be as accurate as possible, but don't waste time with minutiae.
 * Even in real life, on what terms a criminal act will be prosecuted depend on how the prosecutor and LEOs working the case interpret the actions and intent of the criminal. In short, Law is not Mathematics.
 * In this wiki, when an Unsub does anything to someone else, if they fail to finish the act (for any reason: victims fights back, witnesses intervene, the agents get there...), we label that particular crime as ATTEMPTED towards that particular victim if there was INTENTION in the Unsub's actions (opposite to them being an ACCIDENT). Allen Archer HAD intention to harm, and the fact that the situation devolved and got completely out of (his) control became irrelevant after he planted the bomb. He's someone else who too should have known better.
 * In this wiki, when an editor undoes another LOGGED IN editor's work, good manners dictate that leaving an explanation is in order... Should I make it law including it in the CM Wiki Rules?


 * Thank you for responding before things could get out of hand in YOUR talk page. :) Anyway, the English of this Wikia looks pretty good on my end. Not sure about Rock or anything else. As for what you said about an editor undoing another editor's work when they're logged in, YES, I think you should include that in the CM Wiki Rules. I will have to apologize for that; I've been undoing edits without leaving an explanation in the edit summary for half the time (sadly because I'm lazy, since no one usually leaves edit summaries in ANY of their edits and it just rubbed off on me). I find such a rule necessary and I would like to try my best to follow it. Lastly, my apologies for the cat-fight; I was the one who sparked it by responding in the first place. I let my emotions get the better of me, since I've done a lot of work on this Wikia since I came here and no one was challenging it until now. UnSub-Zero (talk) 16:47, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Article to delete
In my quest to change the articles of unwilling accomplices from criminals to minor characters, I have judged that the Will and Chris Summers article is inaccurate, since it's not really a team if one of the members is completely unwilling in his actions and was more of a victim of the other member. Do you think you can delete it? Thanks! :D UnSub-Zero (talk) 02:40, August 9, 2015 (UTC)

Curiosity regarding 1105 and 1106 info sources.
Hi, I've already introduced myself when I joined through the Beyond Borders Wikia. :) Your editing skills and precision and ability to collect newly released information is mighty impressive. I was just wondering, so that I can put it on Wikipedia, what is the source that Leaked the title of episode 5? I can't for the life of me seem to find it, or the source that identifies Erik and Felix as writer and director of episode 6. I'm not questioning the validity of those contributions, I was just wondering if you could tell me which sources leaked them so that I can update a different medium to better inform fellow CM fans! :) SevereCMaddictBF (talk) 17:28, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * The source is casting calls for all those types of info, but can't give you any links - Mvpl TALK 18:02, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I stand corrected. I apologize if I've upset you, I was just trying to help make the page more accurate. I suppose the person from the CM staff got the name wrong, or at least the article (the) which I now see is not part of the title. Thank you for letting me know. If you saw the script cover for 1105, you must know the writer too! Can't wait to see who that is! Thanks for the help. SevereCMaddictBF (talk) 15:19, August 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * I wish, the photo was just of the top of the page and missed the writer's name entirely! - Mvpl TALK 17:15, August 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm so glad that I summoned up the courage to ask Harry Bring directly, lol, I hate ambiguity regarding episode titles! Btw, this is not me attempting some form of "I told you so"; I want you to know that it's a pleasure working with you to perpetuate this site's supreme ability to keep the fellow CM fans informed! And well informed! By the way, thanks also for the tip about the casting calls! ;) SevereCMaddictBF (talk) 20:57, August 23, 2015 (UTC)

About episode titles
Hi, It seems there is some dispute about the title of episode 5. People are saying it is "Night Watch" but on Twitter, Liz Graham-- who I believe is the script coordinator-- corrected it and said it is The Night Watch. The tweet was here: https://twitter.com/scriptclay/status/634118507077070848. I edited the page to reflect that change but UnsubZero changed it back twice and then pretty much ordered me not to change things as if he were an admin. I left him a message letting him know I'd appreciate it if he lets you handle such disputes instead of trying to do an admin's job when he isn't an admin. But, what is your take on it? Should it be changed to The Night Watch or left as just Night watch?Suceress (talk) 20:43, August 20, 2015 (UTC)

Own sandboxes
Hi Mvpl,

within in the last year I've come to the conclusion that expanding the German CM wiki is just not possible for one person... I haven't been active on any wiki in a while but from now on I want to help expanding this wiki focussing on articles of guest actors. I know I should use sandboxes for this purpose but I don't know how to create my own sandboxes. I hope you can help me by giving me advise what to do and what to pay heed to. In addition to that: are my sandboxes going to be approved by anyone and how can I turn them into "real articles"?

Natural Born Killer
Hello,

I'm sorry but i can't understand this episod with Vincent Perotta.

Could you explain to me?

In fact I'm french speaker. I'm a fan from Criminal Minds. I see this episodes in french version.

Natural Born Killed is difficult to understand for me.

I read an article on Vincent Perotta and I have found many informations but they aren't in the episod.

There are dates very precise. How do you know that?

For example:

Perotta is hired by the mob in 2005. How do you know that?

Perotta has killed theri victims until 1989 to 2005... How do you know that?

Why Perotta has killed Freddy? For Russo?

Russo has asked to kill Jimmy and Freddy?

These information is writted in the article on Vincent Perotta

Why Perotta has raped Jimmy?

Could you explain to me?

I have my count now.

Could you speak with you?

I have my count now.

Could you speak with you?

I took a look at the guest cast of 'Til Death Do Us Part while editing and noticed that, apparently, one Derek Morgan is portraying the lead investigator-of-the-week character.
