Talk:Salvatore Maranzano

message: There is discrepancy in these two wikipedia pages, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Maranzano
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castellammarese_War
The first page says that the killings of 40 mobsters is a myth, while the other page states it as fact.  After consulting on IRC, both pages are requested to give sources for the fact.  ~Ninjakttty
I'm redacting the mention in both pages, as it's not verified to be either true or false and it makes Wikipedia bad to both state both true *and* false. Dweekly 17:40, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Discrepancy

message: :Image:Smaranzano.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Smaranzano.jpg

message: The photo used for the article is of Salvatore Messina, a Maltese/Egyptian gangster of Sicilian descent who, along with his brothers, ran a large prostitution ring in London in the mid-20th century.  Salvatore Maranzano had thin hair and was much more heavyset than Messina.  There are several death scene photos of him that can be found on the Internet.

:The photo of Salvatore Messina that had been erroneously identified as Salvatore Maranzano on this page before being removed has been placed back onto the page. Since the magazine article cited as a source as to why the photo is not Maranzano is behind a paywall, I thought I should summarize what it says about the origins of the photograph. The article is dated after the above comment was posted to this talk page, so there must be other sources about the origin of the photograph out there.
:The article "Maranzano Muddle" says the photo comes from the August 13, 1967 edition of the London Sunday Times, used in conjunction with an article under the headline "Messinas and Mayfair: the Links Remain" and was identified as Salvatore Messina. The magazine article's author says that he confirmed the newspaper's photo was of Messina by looking at a photo of Messina from a Scotland Yard history called: The History of Clubs & Vice. In an important caveat, I should point out that the photo he used to confirm it was Messina is not actually included in the magazine article. Since the photograph first appears in 1967 (and we have no information about it before then), there exists the possibility that it may still be under copyright.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Prompted discussion here after message from User:Lenin and McCarthy on my talk page. I've updated the page with what I think to be appropriate - I think we can still use the image that was longstanding believed to be Maranzano, but move to a dedicated section discussing the research. Courtesy ping  who has commented about this previously. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: FYI, The photo is set to be deleted after deletion for valid reason by User:JJMC89. JJMC89, even though the photo is not believed to be of Maranzano, it was once a longstanding belief that it was him, so would there be any grounds to keep it with possibly a different fair-use rationale?
