Talk:Carlo Gambino

message: Who is Michael Corleone based on.
In this article he is based on Carlo Gambino. In other articles he is based on Joe Bonnano and several others.                           
- Michael Corleone isn't based only on one Don. He is based a little on Carlo Gambino, on Joe Bonanno and on SalvaoreBillBonanno.Espacially in the Godfather part I Michael is based on Salvatore Bonanno. But in part II He is more likely based on Joe Bonanno and in both parts he is based a little on Carlo Gambino.
"..family belonged to the Honoured Society for centuries": Mafia, in 1900, didn't exist since centuries.
And especially in Godfather part III, Michael Corleone is based on Carlo Gambino, when they both are going old in the 1970s, they both arrange the murder on a Mafia Don, in the Godfather the Don is Joey Zaza, in real life it is Joe Colombo, who is highly associated with the media and reporters and they both dies of the cause, a natural cause of death...
And may I add, in Godfather part II, Vito Corleone is based a little on Charles "Lucky" Luciano too. They both rise from nothing and has to pay tax to the most powerful Don in New York City, but kills him, and gets their respect. In the Godfather, the Don is Don Fanucci, in real life the Don is Joseph Masseria. 
Excuse me, but the Cosa Nostra wasn't envented before the beginning of the 1930s, but the Honoured Society, created by Don Vito Cascio in Sicily, had excisted since the late 18th-century, where the it expanded and became the Cosa Nostra.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.141.166 (talk) 18:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I've place the  tag on this article because the majority of this article is written in an inappropriate tone!  Select examples are:
*"... was made acting boss, but was only boss in name, which made him a cover. A front boss."
*"That's why the FBI in the mid 1970s, had no idea who the "real" underboss in the family was. ... The family regrouped."
*"The biggest decision of his lifetime, to choose a sucsessor ... So he put the family first ... This decision was Gambino's biggest failiure"
*"The Mob had lost their true Don."
*"Gambino was now reaching his power to the ultimate level."
*"Depression was starting to roll over Gambino while friends, family and "family" was fainting."
On another note, this article cites zero sources for any of its claims, so I've added tags to that note as well.
I don't know enough about the subject to attempt to fix this; but to the user who keeps removing the tag, please stop doing so, unless you are prepared to fix the problems with the article!  Oli Filth 16:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate tone 

message: Well, how about now? The article is re-written, with more sources and refrances, even the "innapropriate tones" are changed, even though you're desperate into finding something wrong with this artice. I think you have something personally against mobsters, maybe you got beat up when you were a kid. Maybe your dad is a mobster, but I wouln't know. I don't know anything about the subject...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlir91 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The section titled "Anastasia, Genovese and Gambino" seems to have the assassination attempt of Frank Costello precede the Anastasia murder. I thought it happened the other way.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gestroud (talk • contribs) 01:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Family? 

message: Sicilian is not a nationality, it is a language and ethnicity. Sicily is part of Italy. It said in the infobox that his nationality is "American, Italian, Sicilian". I changed it to Italian American because he lived in America but was born in Italy. TomUSA 20:09, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nationality 

message: "Gambino served 22 months in prison (1938–39)..."  This is mentioned only once in the article and no references are given. Yet according to this documentary, Gambino was convicted of tax evasion in 1937 but had his sentence suspended (14:40).  The documentary later states that he never served a single day in prison (29:10).  Can anyone provide a reference for the 22-month prison sentence? Deep Candle (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The info box at the top of this article claims Gambino died in Brooklyn, but elsewhere in the article it states that he died at his house in Massapequa and was buried in Queens.  And in case anyone is wondering, neither Massapequa nor Queens are located in Brooklyn.  Arcanicus (talk) 22:35, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Corrected infobox to Massapequa. This was already sourced to the New York Times, which is usually considered fairly reliable, but I also added a BBC reference. Fat&Happy (talk) 23:18, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
