Editing Most wanted list (section)

==Context==

===Collective===
In the years following the creation of the American initial lists, other law enforcement agencies around the world, representing all jurisdictional levels, have issued their own lists of most wanted fugitives.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.forbes.com/2010/05/13/bin-laden-joaquin-guzman-dawood-ibrahim-business-world-most-wanted.html |title=The World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives |newspaper=Forbes |date=May 13, 2010 |author=Nathan Vardi}}</ref> 

Although lists often contain lone suspects, they sometimes contain individuals who form part of a larger network. Sometimes this can constitute a closely knit network as a gang, but can also constitute a loose-connected or a person within an umbrella agglomeration whose association to one another is negligible and may even have an international scope.<ref>Miles, Thomas J.

In such collective scenarios, there is a common assumption that making it onto a fugitive-like list necessitates rendering such an individual as a leading figure within one's field of turpitude. However ofttimes such an individual's upturn in notability may largely stem from notoriety caused by mainstream media [[sensationalism]] or in international situations, due to a shared nationality between the suspect and the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency.<ref>Helland, Eric, and Alexander Tabarrok.

List members generally are not ranked by priority.<ref name=GuardianMay2011/> Historically, a higher proportion of suspected persons on such lists were  often listed in accordance with deeds pertaining to betrayal, such as [[double agent]]s, or purveyors of [[treason]].<ref>Smith, James M., and William C.

===Individuals===
There is no official worldwide list of most wanted fugitives.<ref name=GuardianMay2011/> [[Interpol]] publishes a list of "[[red notice]]s" identifying and describing fugitive persons who are wanted by a national jurisdiction and are being sought internationally for capture and [[extradition]]. This is, however, an inclusive list rather than a "most wanted" list.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.interpol.int/INTERPOL-expertise/Notices |title=Notices |publisher=Interpol |access-date=January 14, 2012}} and {{citation |url=http://www.interpol.int/Wanted-Persons |title=Wanted Persons |publisher=Interpol |access-date=January 14, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{citation |url=http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-30/world/sweden.interpol.assange_1_wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-interpol-swedish-court |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707052634/http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-30/world/sweden.interpol.assange_1_wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-interpol-swedish-court |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 7, 2012 |title=Interpol puts Assange on most-wanted list |date=November 30, 2010 |publisher=[[CNN]] }}</ref> In 2008, [[Forbes (magazine)|''Forbes'' magazine]] published an informal list of [[The World's 10 Most Wanted|the World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives]], assembled after consulting with law enforcement agencies around the world. Candidates for the ''Forbes'' list were fugitives thought to be dangerous who had "a long history of committing serious crimes", who had been [[indicted]] or charged with a crime in a national jurisdiction or by an international tribunal, and who were involved with a type of criminal activity "with which legal institutions in diverse jurisdictions are grappling".<ref name=GuardianMay2011/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/2008/04/25/crime-binladen-guzman-biz-cz_nv_0425mostwanted.html |title=The World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives |newspaper=Forbes |date=April 25, 2008 |author=Nathan Vardi}}</ref> The ''Forbes'' list has been updated and republished in subsequent years.<ref name=GuardianMay2011/>
