  • Spymaster: Desperately needs improvement.Thanks,NeuropolTalk 14:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Agent handling: Desperately needs improvement.Thanks,NeuropolTalk 14:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
  • All pages: Address the lack of sources and citations on all pages. Please get used to finding a source for every sentence, and let other editors worry about removing over-citations. There are hatnotes on many of the pages dealing with intelligence and espionage indicating they have a dearth of citations. --Guylaen (talk) 07:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
  • All pages: Please address hatnotes which indicate that most of the pages and their topics are written primarily from a US-Centric perspective. Try to think about including perspectives from other countries: almost every country has some form of an intelligence program, and smaller countries often have the most robust spies. --Guylaen (talk) 07:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
