I have a feeling the below two names are prank names added by some kid having fun on a 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)
What exactly does that mean? A "criminal phenomenon"?
Below is the definition of the word phenomenon:
noun
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)
The result of the proposal was 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.
I've removed this page's entry from Wikipedia:Requested moves due to a lack of consensus (one vote for, one vote against) on the move. If this changes, feel free to add another request. -- Lox ( t, c) 13:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Are the current affairs supported by anything but a web site? Are there news articles? 12.72.30.121 20:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
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)
I have added the above section. I think it is useful to have such a listing, but I don't know all the names of the people that have flipped. A little help with this please? Thanks in advance.
I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.
Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges.-- Docg 14:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

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)
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)
You all have got to pay more attention to grammar and spelling. It's laughable at times.
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
@ 82.9.218.106:Why do you keep re-adding "passed away"? The Manual of Style states that euphemisms like "passed away" should not be preferred over simply "died". — Lucas Thoms 19:00, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
@ 82.9.218.106: On Wikipedia talk pages, we archive discussions, not delete them so that anyone in the future can come back and look at what we decided. Because of that guideline, please refrain from deleting the above discussion again. Okay? — Lucas Thoms 21:28, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Glad you finally decided to shut it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.218.106 ( talk) 18:51, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
