Improvements to the article[edit]

I think the lead section could use some more info on the scope and responsibilities for the DoJ. Right now it's vague and unclear the responsibilities. Right now there isn't an equivalent section within the article besides "Organization" so it could be separate as it's own section for expansion. I'll at least look at adding some of the organizations as worth notable mention in the lead since they are sourced within the article. Shaded0 (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which branch?[edit]

One assumes that the DOJ is under the judiciary branch of government, but it's not spelled out here. Kortoso (talk) 22:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kortoso: It is actually under the Executive Branch. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 02:36, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't said what you think is wrong with the coordinates in the article, which appear to be correct. If you still think that there is an error, please provide a clear explanation of what it is (and remove the "tlc|" from the {{geodata-check}} template above).
