WikiProject Crime To-do:

We would need an image. Sam Giancana has probably been photographed many times by US federal agencies, it should be possible to get uncopyrighted ones. David.Monniaux 14:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

"Born Momo Salvatore Guingano (Americanised to Giancana} in Little Italy, Chicago. Sam Giancana was arrested more than 70 times in his life. However, he was imprisoned only twice. Giancana's nickname "Momo" was derived from the slang term "Mooney" (which meant "crazy") as Giancana had long had a reputation for unstable and unpredictably violent behavior."

Was he born with the name "Momo" or was it his nickname? 68.166.69.57 07:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

It seems pretty obvious to me, that he wasn't given the name "Momo" at birth as it is explained later to be his nickname. I'm changing "Born Momo Salvatore Guingano (Americanised to Giancana} in Little Italy" to "Born Salvatore Guingano (Americanised to Giancana} in Little Italy" 130.226.173.22 12:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me or does this article imply that Giancana killed Kennedy...someone who is better at this needs to bring this to proveable factual standards. 72.16.85.36 04:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I fixed that, by removing it with other paras that seem to be more interested in burnishing the Kennedys' reputation and painting Nixon as an evil, Palpatine-like genius even when he was in the political wilderness (believe me, there's enough genuine skeletons in his closet out there without pinning stuff that happened on Kennedy's watch on him...)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Samgiancana.jpg

Image:Samgiancana.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
