It seems that the character "Don Croce Malo" in Mario Puzo's novel The Sicilian is very clearly based on this person. I can not, however, neither deny nor verify this from any reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.155.209.72 ( talk) 17:38, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Recent reversions of the edit regarding Calo's involvement in narcotics are POV and counterproductive. The assertion that he was a major trafficker in dope, with 2 verifications in the References, complete negates the suggestion that the Don was not making money from criminal behavior--hence the edit is important. Also, editors cannot simply label an assertion "unsubstantiated" if its reliably sourced in the references. Tapered ( talk)
Reverted "legendary" again and added Calo's 'rap sheet' to blunt the grand sounding language at the end of the Lead. Also added a new reference/link. Needed to be added in any event since quite a bit of the Lead is taken verbatim from the lacndb website. Tapered ( talk) 21:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
The ending of the lead before the addition of the Barzini reference was large-scale weasel wording. Grand language about "love" for a career criminal who bullied and murdered his way to prominence is incongruous--as an ending to a lead. Tapered ( talk) 03:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
The lead is a summary to the article, see WP:LEAD not to enter into more detailed information. Your quote of Barzini is very useful and has been incorporated in the text, but putting it into the lead is not conform to MOS. I also added a sentence to try to accomodate your worries, which does not only refer to Barzini but to the broader content of the article, in particular his crminal dossier. - DonCalo ( talk) 09:47, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
