Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dimaria2-1-.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dimaria2-1-.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Genovese crime family
Hi,

Please could you stop reverting the Genovese crime family article back to a much older, absurdly long, badly-written, unmanageable version. At the very least, please read Talk:Genovese crime family, and explain why you feel this revert is appropriate.

Regards, 19:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Steven Grammauta
A tag has been placed on Steven Grammauta, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Article sates guilt for crimes never convicted for. Fails WP:BLP in a pretty major way and needs to be removed until it can be rewritten. (he's worthy of an article though)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Toddst1 (talk) 15:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:JosephCorozzo1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JosephCorozzo1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Lucky Luciano moving
Please stop moving Lucky Luciano's article to Charles Luciano. On Wikipedia we go by WP:COMMON and this articles are to be named under which is their most well known name, and actually his real name was "Salvatore Lucania" anyway. - Animagentile (talk) 13:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Stop it, its been pointed out to you that Wikipedia works by WP:COMMON Lucky Luciano is what he is most commonly known as. That was the long standard article name before you moved it and it should remain, feel free to discuss on the talk Talk:Lucky Luciano if you feel you have such reasons, however do not move it again without getting a consensus to do it. - Animagentile (talk) 15:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

May I suggest that you read our policies on civilty, and no personal attacks before acting like an emo kid on my talk again. We go by policy, not personal opinion. Please try to understand this. - Animagentile (talk) 16:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Oli Filth(talk) 19:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. ''Geocities pages are not a reliable source. Any information about living persons, but especially controversial information, must be cited to a reliable source.'' *** Crotalus *** 15:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Article Suggestion
Thank you for contributions to the crime category! Suggest you put a DEFAULTSORT command before the categories so that the gangster will appear alphabetically by last name in the category lists (i.e Italian-American mobsters). An example would be DEFAULTSORT:Genovese, Vito with the appropriate brackets. Without this command, Wikipedia alphabetizes by first name. Default Sort is listed under "Wiki markup" at the bottom of each Edit page.

Again, please keep writing articles.Rogermx (talk) 18:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Charlie - no need for apologies; it's all a learning process. We appreciate your work on these articles Rogermx (talk) 20:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability of John Stanfa
A tag has been placed on John Stanfa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Jammy Simpson |  Talk  | 23:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Frank Papagni
An editor has nominated Frank Papagni, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Genovese crime family 2
Hello Charlir91. Can you please explain to me why it is you keep reverting everyone else's edits to the Genovese crime family article. You're even reverting fixes to links and typos! You would agree that misspellings make an article look unprofessional, wouldn't you? I await your reply, thanks! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 02:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * In response to post on my talk page. Thank you for your kind response. No need to apologize at all, sometimes in the rush of things we have all taken that simpler route, but it does pay to check and see what intervening edits should be kept, though it's a bit more complicated to edit. Thanks again and happy editing. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 20:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to mob-related articles
I've noticed that just about your entire editing history has been to articles related to reputed Mafia figures. However disreputable the Mafia may be, alleged mobsters are still covered by the biographies of living persons policy. You need to make more of an effort to get better sourcing for your articles. If you continue down your present route, we may need to pursue further measures, such as an request for comment or even arbitration. Blueboy96 01:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JosephCorozzo1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JosephCorozzo1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 17:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Kenneth Johnson
I am letting you know that I have requested that an Admin revert your recent page move. The reason being, his name is "Kenneth". He is always credited as "Kenneth" in film and television roles. Thus, his page name should be titled "Kenneth", and not "Kenny". The fact that he personally goes by "Kenny" is irrelevant to how he is always credited. Please do not move the page again without a valid reason (e.g. one that would need to be discussed on the talk page to explain why the page should be titled out of the norm).

Replaceable fair use Image:Dorthe_Skappel_2007.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dorthe_Skappel_2007.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
