[edit] Copyright issues

As in several other pages blanked by 24.147.103.146, the allegation of copyright violation seems completely erroneous. Please note that the image is a mug shot, and is therefore in the public domain under Federal law. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 21:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• Likely source of image is here: [1], where it is clearly identified as a mugshot. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 18:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The fact that it is on a website does not prove it is a mugshot. There is none of the typical details found in mugshot present. No textboard or police ID. Until you can find the original source you are only guessing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.103.146 (talk • contribs)

[edit] New Image

I think we can all reach agreement on this solution. Since the images from CourtTV are clearly identified there as being Mug Shots, I have simply replaced the previous images with the CourtTV ones. This should alleviate any potential issues. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 19:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flemmi full blooded Italian

Stephen Flemmi is a full blooded Italian and not half Irish as indicated. The New England Mafia often invited him to join.

Is there a source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.164.243 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Non-standard English

I corrected a couple of obvious typos or misspellings, but the article struck me overall as needing some cleanup.Tzittnan 20:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Copy Editing badly

I think that a better tag for this article would be for Copy Editing. I am going to add that and remove the "wikify" and "cleanup" tags, as copy editing is a more appropriate term for what this page needs. It is already formatted and categorized like a typical wikipedia biography (therefore already wikified), and it looks clean (therefore not requiring cleanup). Its only the writing itself that is poor, the content is great. Benijuana 12:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Did some quick grammatical error correction - will continue after I have had someone proofread. --NeonRoses 20:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree that copy editing was badly needed, so I went ahead and did it. I hope that I have improved the article. If anyone can suggest more changes or wants to make different ones, I welcome them to go ahead. Rogermx 23:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Please follow Wikipedia style for headings, i.e., use Sentence case for headings, not Title Case for Headings. Please see WP:MSH. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 02:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Info on Paul Rico

I added the Salvati reference on Flemmi implicating Paul Rico, his first FBI handler. Rogermx 00:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FBI

Not everyone in the world knows what the FBI is. It is useful for non-American readers to spell it out on the first instance. this is consistent with what the Wikipedia Manual of Style has to say on the issue. See WP:MOS#Acronyms_and_abbreviations. Ground Zero | t 14:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
