message: In the death tab it reads “Details about his death (remain) unknown.”
Needs to be corrected to “Details about his death (are currently) unknown.”

message: For info, this article has been nominated to appear in the recent deaths section on the main page. However, there are some concerns about unsourced sections and article quality. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 20:56, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

message: He was born in 1929, his father would have been born near or prior to 1900. Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, therefore  his father would not be considered Canadian. One of the categories he has been entered into is Americans of Canadian Descent, which is not correct. HJKeats (talk) 14:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Right now, Whitey_Bulger#Early_criminal_career makes no mention of him spending time in Alcatraz. I'd edit the section myself but I'm not sure when he was actually there. Calidum 03:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

message: I believe it had been mentioned in previous edits that Bulger was a male prostitute in his early career. I'm not sure why this has been removed. I assume the Bulger supporters didn't want his reputation to take a hit. Dwain (talk) 14:32, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: If verifiable, rock-solid sources exist (and they would need to be just that), there is no reason why it should not be included. This is not a Bulger fan site. Hanoi Road (talk) 16:25, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of Bulger's prostitution? 

message: I cannot edit the first paragraph of the article. It states that Bulger was on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted list as the second most wanted fugitive behind Osama Bin Laden. The FBI has stated on record that the criminals on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list are not ranked, making this entry incorrect. A small error, but something worth noting for accuracy.Mhalbe84 (talk) 19:48, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect info on summary paragraph 

message: ::::::: Associated Press today carried a story about Janet Uhlar, a jury member in the case who regrets finding him guilty of murder following the revelation that he was administered huge quantities of LSD whilst in prison as part of government experiments. This likely wrecked his mind completely. In letters written to Uhlar, he claims to have woken up hourly every night of his life after these experiments (I think some were conducted during his stint at Alcatraz). I'm no expert in this topic, so I'll leave the research and editing to those who are. Thanks. Hanoi Road (talk) 19:21, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
