message: As in several other pages blanked by 24.147.103.146, the allegation of copyright violation seems completely erroneous. Please note that the image is a mug shot, and is therefore in the public domain under Federal law. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 21:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think we can all reach agreement on this solution. Since the images from CourtTV are clearly identified there as being Mug Shots, I have simply replaced the previous images with the CourtTV ones. This should alleviate any potential issues. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 19:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that a better tag for this article would be for Copy Editing. I am going to add that and remove the "wikify" and "cleanup" tags, as copy editing is a more appropriate term for what this page needs. It is already formatted and categorized like a typical wikipedia biography (therefore already wikified), and it looks clean (therefore not requiring cleanup). Its only the writing itself that is poor, the content is great. Benijuana 12:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Not everyone in the world knows what the FBI is. It is useful for non-American readers to spell it out on the first instance. this is consistent with what the Wikipedia Manual of Style has to say on the issue. See WP:MOS#Acronyms_and_abbreviations. Ground Zero | t 14:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "He began dating his stepdaughter Deborah Hussey. At the time she was twenty-six, ironically the same age as his girlfriend-mistress Debra Davis when she had been murdered."
This is not ironic in any sense at all.

thread_title: Irony

message: In the 1990's in both the Boston Globe & the Boston Herald there were articles alleging that Stephen Flemmi & Whitey Bulger "broke-in" numerous 13 year old girls by giving them heroin, and once the girls were hooked, that they then used these girls for sex for years. One of the articles also mentioned that one of those girls died of a drug overdose by her early 20's. Where these stories ever verified to the degree that they could be mentioned in this Wikipedia article? If so this would also mean that Flemmi is an alleged pedophile.

replies: text: See Hebephile. But the point is not that he was attracted to young girls (that seems to be the rule rather than the exception) but rather that he exploited them -- deliberately got them hooked on heroin and ruined their lives -- for his own amusement. I agree this is worth mentioning.  --Rosekelleher (talk) 06:21, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I added a brief mention near the end. There should be more information, and it should be more prominent. As is, it looks like we don't think it's a big deal. But I can't spend any more time on this. --Rosekelleher (talk) 07:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pedophile 

message: Whence the nickname "rifleman?" I don't see anything about this, and I'd think it was a pretty significant item to skip. There's a reference to him killing one person with a rifle, but that hardly seems enough to qualify as a nickname.
Or it might; what do I know about Boston mobsters? The point is that the nickname is not referenced. Anyone have anything?
