Talk:Donnie Brasco (film)

message: He's credited as a producer and linked to the so-named former head of the federal reserve. Shurely shome mishtake.--Mongreilf 20:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does Fugazy redirect to this page? There should be mention of the word somewhere in the article, otherwise Fugazy should probably redirect to Fugazi (which it matches phonetically). ☯.ZenSwashbuckler.☠ 21:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: agree. Fugazy has been redirected to Fugazi (disambiguation), which includes a link to wiktionary for the term.  If there is an important Donnie Brasco reference that is appropriate, it could be added to that disambiguation page. Cander0000 (talk) 08:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Fugazy" / Fugazi? 

message: has carried out a rewrite of the plot summary. My main concern is the use of both "Donnie" and "Pitstone", whereas the previous long-standing plot section was consistent with using "Donnie". Many of our readers, especially those yet to see the film, will experience confusion now. The considerable swelling of the plot summary as a result of 's revisions this week may concern other editors more than it does me. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 20:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I am one of those editors that do consider this expansion out-of-place here. I intend restoring the long-established plot section. User:Victoria1286 must discuss this here in accordance with WP:BRD, before reverting my revision. Rosemary Cheese (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The previous version of the plot summary has factual errors and does not provide enough context to accurately describe what happened in the movie. I added details to what was written to correct this.Victoria1286 (talk) 00:58, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Your version is quite a bit wordier. It must have been that wordiness that the OP was editing, which caused me to think too much had been taken out. If there are errors, let's discuss what they are and agree on replacement text. Until then, the 2014 version, which I think reads well enough, and has the virtue of being brief, should stay as the text, pre BRD as I understand it. Dhtwiki (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In the meantime, I am removing 'throughout the film' ... an "obvious error" ... — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 11:15, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Not so, especially after you thought "persistently" was appropriate. And you had no consensus to change it. Dhtwiki (talk) 19:37, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alterations to the plot summary 

message: Does anybody know where (or the address of) the barber shop is that is used as the set in the beginning of the movie where Lefty questions Jilly about Donnie Brasco?  Is it still there?  Thanks in advance to anybody who knows.
:I think I found it - I think it is at 688 Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY 11222, and I think it is now called "Emma's Unisex Salon" (my, how things have changed since the 1970's), tel 718-349-0664.  Does anybody know if it still has any old world charm?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 11:46, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
