Talk:Colombo crime family

message: I have a feeling the below two names are prank names added by some kid having fun on a computer.
* "Current Family Leaders" - Horace Washington
* "Government Informants" - Justin "wog boy" Dilosa (The fact that the nickname isn't even capitalized gives the impression of a kid playing around on the computer.)
Anyway, I have never come across either of them.  My guess is this: They don't exist.  In the sake of wanting this website to remain somewhat credible, I would erase those names.  And the "Current Leadership" part of the article is suspect.  Vincent "Vinnie" Aloi has never been listed anywhere as the Colombo Family's current consigliere.  Someone is making a speculation or an educated guess, and not stating a fact. Lock & Key 06:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: * "...the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the Mafia (or Cosa Nostra)..."
What exactly does that mean?  A "criminal phenomenon"?
Below is the definition of the word phenomenon:
* phenomenon 
noun 
* 1.  any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning
* 2.  a remarkable development  
The Mafia is developed for a 100 years now.  There is no phenomenon about it.  It's here and it's here to stay.  It isn't something that's amazing and just happened for a short period of time.  It should read "the nationwide criminal organization known as the Mafia (or Cosa Nostra)."  
I don't correct articles as a rule.  I just offer my opinion in the discussion page, and this was my opinion on this. Lock & Key 06:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Huh?

message: not to move this page
----
To be consistent with the other NYC Mafia families.  Colombo family is currently redirected to Colombo crime family.  This would reverse the redirection.

thread_title:  Current affairs 

message: I just removed a name from the "See Also" section.  Veronica Zuraw was an ex-nun and innocent bystander shot through the walls of her own kitchen, details HERE.  Is everybody listed in "See Also" thought by Wikipedia to be a Colombo family associate?  Do they know it?  If not, what is the purpose of this section?  Maybe it should be removed.  --CliffC 01:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: There is better information about MacIntosh in Colombo crime family#Former members and associates section. The information in that section covers MacIntosh's criminal life and is referenced. MacIntosh is also mentioned in the Colombo crime family#Gallo-Profaci War (1960-1964). The Hugh MacIntosh article contains unreferenced and incorrect facts; ex: the MacIntosh article says MacIntosh was Scottish I found no references to prove this; I did find references that he was from Irish heritage (see). --Vic49  (talk)  21:55, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging [[Hugh MacIntosh]] into the article 

message: In both references used in the article Farese is stated as the "Consigliere" not the "Acting Consigliere"; references New York Daily News read and New York Post read. Did any one find any other references proving or stating he is only the "Acting Consigliere"? --Vic49  (talk)  23:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
