Incorrect information?

I was reading the DEA report provided under citation 22, and found the section that this article seems to refer to when claiming that the "...Marijuana Eradication Program often leads to the discovery of no marijuana plants". On page 58 of the DEA report, a table is provided that seems to directly contradict this statement. In 2014, the DEA reported that they seized 4.0 million indoor/outdoor plants, and $21.2 million in assets. The information in this article might be completely wrong on this point. When I was reading it, I was confused as to why a government organization would report no findings related to their goal. Not sure what the best way to go about fixing this is, but I would appreciate if someone would take a look at it :) 216.243.30.3 (talk) 18:44, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Those are not necessarily contradictory statements. Let's say that 200 searches are performed, and only 15 of them actually found plants, that would mean that 92.5% of searches (which would qualify as "often") did not find any marijuana plants. That those 7.5% of searches found millions of plants doesn't mean that the majority of searches found plants. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 18:50, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Rename the article page so that the Agency starts with the prefix U.S.

As more and more countries' are having their national agencies added, it is becoming more necessary to have pages set up for a global audience. For example the Immigration Customs and Enforcement's page is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This makes it clear to anybody that sees the link in other pages that it's a U.S. organization.

This has become particularly necessary for WP articles that discuss multinational projects, military operations and law enforcement operations to say the least. Many pages that are about the agency also take their name directly from it, for example

• Category:Drug Enforcement Administration takes its name from Drug Enforcement Administration

similarly

• the Category:Federal Bureau of Investigation operations which takes it's name from Federal Bureau of Investigation.

In both instances, the complimentary pages for other countries starts with a Country prefix.

The U.S. prefix named articles already exist, but redirect to the main article. However, the contention is that none of the articles that derive their name from the main article are willing to utilize the prefix until the main article is using the prefix. eximo (talk) 20:04, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
