message: This article was created by moving content from the article List of characters from The Sopranos - this move was undertaken to reduce the size of the original article. The move was suggested and agreed upon by another 2 editors. --Opark 77 22:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: General Information

message: As of the 27 April 2006 there are 20 main characters, approximately 200 supporting characters in our list. These divisions are arbitrary and open to personal interpretation. This has caused some argument on the main page in the past. The supporting characters were previously divided into secondary and tertiary but a move was made with consensus support to simplify things and unite the categories. However ex-secondary characters still have their own pages at the moment and do not appear in this list.
I was wondering if there are any conventions for determining who is what sort of character?
I think it would be useful to try and reach a consensus on these conventions and produce guidelines for the decision on the importance of a character.
A discussion of the status of characters can be found here. I think it is best placed on the main article List of characters from The Sopranos and would urge anyone interested to join in there.

message: sorry, but this is a bad idea. if you separate dimeo then all the rest should be separated as well. there's no reason to separate one portion and leave the others on the list page. - Zarbon
:You're 100% right - the other lists should also be separated out into sub-lists. That constitutes several hours work and is an ongoing project. I am getting there. -Opark77
its just not good to see the list separated when the others remain intact. - Zarbon
:Fair enough, the update is complete now so the main page appears consistent. - Opark77
:With your permission I would like to remove this objection from the discussion board if you feel we have reached a compromise. Just to keep the talk board uncluttered. -Opark77
personally, it looks better now that the page isn't a mile long. as long as all of them get to be separated, its better in the long run. On another note, i have requested that Feech la manna and Gloria trillo be merged. they seriously have no reason to stay just because they were listed on hbo's character descriptions. the descriptions just follow most current characters. feech and gloria just aren't important whatsoever. - Zarbon
:I noticed your suggestion and added the proposal to the merge nominations list in the discussion board for the main article--Opark 77 22:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed that lots of unseen characters have been added so i added Corky Ianucci. He's mentioned quite a few times. I listed that he was mentioned in "whoever did this" but i'm certain that he was mentioned numerous times before that as well. if anyone remembers what other episodes he's referenced in, feel free to add to his profile. - Zarbon
* Good job Zarbon - I edited the summary a little as I don't recall him actually being there when Vesuvio burned down - just Sil. --Opark 77 11:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Where does the information come from that Jackie Aprile, Sr. was born in 1950? That seems a bit early. For one thing, the actor playing that part was born in 1965. For another, his older brother was supposed to have been in high school with Tony Soprano's sister Janice, who's supposed to be maybe 5 or 6 years older than him, tops. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 23:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That was an estimate on my part. On further investigation in the episode Denial, Anger, Acceptance Jackie's age at his death is given as 44. Since the episode is supposed to occur in 1999 that would make his birthday either late 1954 or 1955. I have updated the birth year here and on the Aprile family tree. --Opark 77 11:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: No one has stepped up to note that many of the characters on this list are not in the DiMeo crime family? Annalisa, for one, is head/acting head of her own family in Sicily. Several other characters, such as Massive G, never cooperated with the family at all, and only had incidental dealings with them. This list needs to be split apart badly.209.169.114.213 03:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Sopranos Annalisa Zucca.jpg

message: I'm thinking a lot about the original DiMeo Crime Family and their crews. There are three well-know capos: Johnny Boy Soprano, Feech La Manna and Junior Soprano, and there are many original members of the DiMeo Crime Family who referenced in the series, like Rocco DiMeo, Jerry Anastasia, Romeo Martin and Cicchi Sasso. Who worked for who? 
Additionally we have not information about the early careers of some "current" members like Richie Aprile, Ray Curto, Tony Blundetto or Beppy Sasso. Which point at Ray Curto and Richie Aprile became capo? 
Tony Sopranos mentions Richie Aprile's name together with Jerry Anastasia as guys he had to buy dinners for when he was a newly made guy. In episode Tony Blundetto was on an FBI picture with Feech La Manna. They worked together?
Jimmy Bones and Little Pussy Malanga was made men. In the first and second season there are five crews lead by Tony Soprano, Jimmy Altieri, Ray Curto, Larry Boy Barese and Junior Soprano. Jackie Aprile was the acting boss of the DiMeo Crime Family. Who lead the Aprile crew at this time? Why doesn't nobody looking for Jimmy Bones? Little Pussy Malanga worked for who?
I hope you can answer for my questions.Hotghar  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 23:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi. It is just a probability assumption: in the first episode of Season 5 when Tony and Bobby watches the news about the relase of La Manna and Blundetto, the newsreporter states that both LaManna and Blundetto were prime suspects in the car-bomb killing of Gilardi. In the 80s LaManna was one of the most respected and fearest capo in the DiMeo Crime Family. Due the fact in the maffia, a capo rarely whacks somebody himself, and need permission of their capo to whack made men. I guess Tommy Gilardi one of the original La Manna Crew soldiers in the 80s, and La Manna was suspect for to take the order!?

message: Why is there a copyright image notice on the page? The page only has 8 images on it in full and there's like tons of characters. Only 8 of them are getting images, so that shouldn't be a problem at all, 8 images is like nothing. Imagine if all 135 characters on the page got an image, then it might pose somewhat of a problem.

thread_title:  Slava 

message: Not to get technical here, but there is a fairly prominent picture of Dickie Moltisanti shown at the end of the episode "For All Debts Public and Private". The morning following the murder of Det. Barry Haydu, Christopher is sitting at the table at his mother's house looking at a picture of Dickie holding a baby (presumably Christopher). The man in the picture looks just like actor Michael Imperioli (who plays Christopher in the series) so maybe it's actually him or possibly his father or uncle or somebody. Does anyone have any info on this? 
While not directly shown, it's interesting how when Christopher gets up to put the $20 dollar bill he took from Haydu on the refrigerator, his mother sits down at the table and places the picture of Dickie face down on the table. Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 21:11, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
