Perhaps a photo should be used that shows his face? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.194.26 (talk) 07:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)


 * In this case, perhaps that's not a good idea :D 116.231.78.79 (talk) 10:26, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Lousy photo. This article shows a better photo but using it is possibly stealing.

Opinion paragraph
To date the NYPD has neglected to Issue Serpico his Medal of Honor certificate with authentic NYPD Seal. Nor has the medal itself a proper designation as to his rank of Detective on back of said medal.

 * I see that this text was previously added to the article, first by an unregistered editor who, presumably intending to put it into the article body, instead put it inside a citation to The New York Times on 11 December 2021 (diff) and then by a registered editor "WHOLETRUTH2021" who added it more visibly on 11–12 December 2021 (diff, diff). WHOLETRUTH2021's edits were reverted (diff, diff), whereas the version buried inside a citation was not and was later moved out of the citation by another editor (diff).
 * I see that the Twitter account "SerpicoDet", which is Mr. Serpico's, says that he added the text on 11 December 2021.
 * Although the previous additions of the text did not follow procedure, I think was verifiable with attribution to Mr. Serpico at the time. The matter is now historical (and more verifiable), as Mr. Serpico has recently received the certificate.  I'll work on this in the article.
