Revert

I have reverted current changes because the changes are mainly grammatical, and add very little new information. They make the article more difficult to read for the layperson by introducing unnecessary phraseology. Peterlewis 05:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with this whole heartedly, as the language in the orginal article is misleading. Also, I added additional information (in a new paragraph) and do not understand why this needed to be deleted. Kelsimp 06:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, add what you added before, but remember that it needs to be in plain English, and not n convoluted language (which only confuses) Peterlewis 06:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, but I'd also like to please change the language about "match" which is incorrect terminology when dealing with trace evidence, and only appropriate with fracture matches or possibly fingerprints. Kelsimp 06:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Digital traces

I have added a reference to digital traces. The exploitation of digital data should be indeed taken into account. To be added: a description about the connection logs that can be exploited to determine the (illegal ?) use of peer to peer networks to get access to copyright sounds and videos~--Nabeth (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

STUB

This article should be considered to be a stub. It is incomplete, addressing more or less only US references which is not worthy a thorough article (there are other countries in the world with some intellectual capacities, believe it or not). SO, as a conclusion, when you read this article, be aware that it is only scratching the surface of a rather complex field of forensic science. Do also be aware that there is a principal mix up between "forensic chemistry" and "trace evidence" eg GC for arson is classified as trace evidence whereas analysis of illicit drugs are forensic chemistry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.160.174.55 (talk) 10:09, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Location change of the importance of trace evidence

I feel the importance of trace evidence (found in the second paragraph of lead) should be changed to its own topic in the body of the article. As it doesn't contribute to the introduction of the topic however definitely should still be emphasized. Enatti0108 (talk) 21:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
