Since we already have the [[Starfleet Security]] article, shouldn't the [[security]] article be left more generic to the topic at hand, and leave specifics on [[Federation]]-based security forces to the former article? So the [[Bajoran Militia]] from [[Deep Space 9]], some mention of [[police|police forces]], etc. may get equal billing? Any Federation-related details can easily be '''merged''' with the Starfleet Security article. - [[User:Intricated|Intricated]] 15:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

:Makes sense. That would leave this article as little more than a set of links to security-related articles and a definition sorta like: '''Security''' is the general practice of protection of individuals, organizations, property, and regions. Security can be ad hoc or organized, civilian or military, offensive or defensive. Does that make sense? [[User:Aholland|Aholland]] 16:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Shran asked the question why the second paragraph was italicized. The answer is it was like that before I modified the article and I just kept the formatting. I've no problem either way, but I think he is right that it is best put into a normal font. Aholland 12:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but for the record, I wasn't putting the blame on you, I knew the paragraph was italicized before, I was just wondering why. ;) --From Andoria with Love 12:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
