Why is this page so horrendously worded? I've tried to fix a bit of it, but I don't have sufficient time to do so. It really needs to be fixed, though. It's such a mess. The writing just seems to float around the topic and jump to something else two seconds later without giving a care in the world about the first point of discussion. There are about three or four random points that either need to be elaborated on or edited out and replaced with actually useful information. Right now, it just reads like some random person who just started using a computer spitting out trivia about the Mafia. Editing this is pretty much mandatory. I'll help but I need someone with more time on his/her hands. Someone please get on that! :] It's much appreciated. ISAYsorry 01:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:Gotti DVD.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Both of these reports have the name of the film as simply Gotti. -- Lenin and McCarthy | ( Complain here) 02:46, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
User:Vaselineeeeeeee reverted my edit that added Franzese's view on the authenticity (accuracy) of the film. First per " WP:YOUTUBE", then per "Franzese is not a film ciritc.". Franzese is not a film critic, but he was a caporegime in one of the five major New York City organized crime families of the Italian American Mafia. If we allow a claim by TV Guide that it's "too inaccurate for enthusiasts", surely Franzese is at least as reliable when he claims it's "about as accurate a movie as you're going to see". What the fu ck do film critics know about how (in)accurately films portray mob life? -- 143.176.30.65 ( talk) 14:18, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Professional film critics are regarded as reliable sources, though reputable commentators and experts—connected to the film or to topics covered by the film—may also be cited. The use of print reviews is encouraged; these will be more reliable in retrospect.This means commentators such as Franzese are not considered notable to a film's critical reception, let alone having oral sources from YouTube which are not of reliable quality. I get it, he's a former mobster who likes to review film and TV, and has inside knowledge of how the life works, but this does not mean his opinions are encyclopedic.
