UnSubs List

[edit]

How about this on the characters lists:

A section called "Notable UnSubs" that includes Frank Breitkopf (No Way Out parts 1+2), Tobias Haenkel (The Big Game+Revelations) and possibly James "Colby" Taylor (Penelope) and the Mill Creek-Killer and the Hollow Man (The Last Word)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.229.162.128 (talk) 21:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one's answered, I've started the list myself. If it proves unsatisfactory, remove it. Otherwise, it needs cleanup which I unfortunately don't know how to do. March 16 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.229.162.128 (talk) 19:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hotch Statment

[edit]

"It was hinted that he had experienced abuse during his childhood in the episode "Natural-Born Killer" when he says some people grow up to be killers, and some grow up to catch them."

If i remeber correctly he said something like "people that grow up with abusive fathers either turns out to become killers or they turns out to catch the killers"

About the "Notable UnSubs"-section

[edit]

The descriptions for some of the supposedly notable UnSubs in the "Notable UnSubs"-section don't really specify how they "have had some kind of effect on the show's storyline", as the description for the "Notable Unsubs"-section claims. I, for instance, don't see how Clara Hayes, Vincent Shyer, Eddie Mays, Edward Hill, Dr. Stan Howard, Norman Hill, Megan Kane and Danny Murphy "have had some kind of effect on the show's storyline". All of the UnSubs I just mentioned only appeared in one episode each, and their descriptions doesn't specify what specific effect they had on the show's storyline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.60.146.225 (talk) 11:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The section has become really bloated, with practically every villain of the week now being listed (with the text mostly being copy and pasted from the Criminal Minds Wiki). It should really be trimmed. -- Lord Crayak (talk) 00:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While it's much shorter, the part of being nemesises (aside from Foyet and Doyle) are largely conjecture. The summary is also overly detailed. 122.106.203.3 (talk) 01:56, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also consider it to be a vague generalization, what is the definition of a notable unsub? If its just a recurring character then that is a much more accurate heading, maybe with a subgroup of Unsubs. Still way too long, there is five people on the list, and it takes up almost half of the whole page, reading them is also alot like reading episode summaries, which is of course properly on a completely different page. I'd cut it down to a paragraph each saying how they kill, first episode, recurring episodes, motivations, etc. Not every action he took in the episode he appeared in. 69.165.138.102 (talk) 22:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So should some of the more prominent unsubs be re-added? The Foyet and Mr. Scratch arcs have stretched across seasons and have had lasting effects on the main characters. --Tenryuu (talk) 18:17, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy and sourcing

[edit]

I doubt you need to source that there was a Gideon in the Bible, considering that it is what someone said in the show and could thus be inaccurate (infact Frank also said Frank means Spears in Germanic, which is quite wrong, means free. Ger or gar means spears, Ger-man is a references to Germans having lots of spears, Ed-gar means rich spearman, etc. Frank means Freeman, or it might come from a type of throwing axe used by the Franks/French, the Francisca). Instead linking it to the correct wiki page makes alot more sense. Also don't need to source Jason, same reasons. 69.165.138.102 (talk) 22:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
