Talk:Vito Spatafore

message: I think Vito Spatafore is enough of a major character to warrant his own article, and that the secondary characters article is really for characters who have not had their own storylines.
Re: I agree.
:I concur as well. There's simply too much going on with this sole character for him to be "merged" with the two-bit players. --AWF
Voting on the main character list page supports Vito having his own page (as do I). Please add your votes there to give a greater consensus on whether this article is warranted. --Opark 77 08:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It says that 2 Lupertazzi associates discovered Vito in a gay bar. I don't think they were Lupertazzi associates. They were from yonkers. - skamd12  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skamd12 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your clear advice Encephalon. I've read (or re-read in some cases) the policy pages you suggested. I've attempted to formalise the wording and tone of the article. I've also started adding references to the article, since this is a television programme the references are mostly from articles written in newspapers or magazines by crticis, I believe these meet the policy guidelines and I hope they are acceptable. Please could you review the wording and remove the formal tone tag if you think it is appropriate. How many references should we aim to accumulate before the reference tag can be taken off? --Opark 77 10:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having waited a week I'm going to remove the reference tag - it states that the article does not cite it's references but the article now does acknowledge it's sources. --Opark 77 14:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: he carried on extra-marital homosexual relations, making him possibly bisexual or gay.
:Possibly? I thought it was general knowledge he was gay. --DrBat 19:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not want to screw anything up on the article so I am asking someone to make a minor correction.  At the very beginning of the article it states that he was revealed to be gay in Season 6.  That is not the case and it conflicts with the correct information further down in the article.  He was revealed to be gay in Season 5. --unusualpsycho 12:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In the first episode of the third season Vito is seen cooperating with the FBI in the surveillance set-up for the Sopranos.  It's been a while since I saw the rest of the season but was that ever followed up on?  Or was that not supposed to be Vito?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.28.214.217 (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember that episode, but for the rest of the series Vito was never an informant.--CyberGhostface (talk) 21:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vito Spatafore character inspired by real-life mobster John D'Amato 

message: Out of curiosity, the correct spelling of Spatafore in Italian is Spatafora (), a most typically Sicilian surname and basically a variation of Spadafora (both Calabrian and Sicilian). In Sicily, Spadafora is also an ancient noble family and there is even a town named after this family in the Metropolitan City of Messina, Sicily. In turn, Spatafore () is likely an American misspelling based on a loose pronunciation of Spatafora, possibly with roots in the Italian-American parlance. That is why Vito's last name is turned into Spatafora in the Italian dubbing of The Sopranos. --Teno85 (talk) 09:19, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
