Stub or start?

I originally had the article at a 'start' level but decided it was more of a 'stub' and changed it accordingly. That was before the addition of the indexing information. Now, after adding that info and reviewing other 'start' and 'stub' articles, I think it fits into the former classification better. Any comments? — RB Ostrum. 21:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. You can see that many articles of similar quality are rated as Start-class. This one is definitely not a stub any more! —Kajervi (talk) 17:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Law enforcement - Code enforcement

Relating to the recent URL change by ShelfSkewed (4 Feb 2011), I would like to know what people think about the choice of 'law enforcement' versus 'code enforcement'? The term 'law enforcement' is used in the article because the official journal description says: "Matters of forensic interest in the social sciences or relating to law enforcement and jurisprudence may also be published."

Unfortunately, as ShelfSkewed points out, law enforcement is an ambiguous term and the journal does not clarify their intended meaning in this context. Shelfskewed felt it meant code enforcement but, upon viewing that article, I don't think it is any better or more accurate than law enforcement. While this may generally be the correct interpretation of the term 'law enforcement' (not a debate I care about), it certainly isn't correct as used here.

To put it simply, I have been reading the journal for over 20 years and I have never read an article that relates to 'code enforcement' as described in the WP article. Essentially these articles, when published in the CSFS Journal, have been in areas of science relating directly to police/corrections work or criminology. So I think a more appropriate link would be to police science which, though still a bit vague, does capture this concept nicely. — RB Ostrum. 14:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
