I see that I put "Robert Gay" in a Reference title. I wanted to shorten it. Actually, My referencing isnt Poor, I havent even saw 1 person have more than 5 Reference's for a "Gangster". It is was really hard to find Reference's under Robert Mormando, I tried to post more thing's about him and the most Important thing about him was that he is Gay and it is very Unusual to find a "Gangster" that is gay and is usually killed for breaking Omerta also he dated John Gotti's nephew which I also find quite Important. I havent seen any person on Wikipedia Referencing and having as much Information on a Gangster apart from me. Im actually considered The "Wikipedia Five Familie's Leader", Haha. Have a great week.

The term Mafia is not the official name for organized crime it's a media term. I think it would be a good idea to drop the "American" part off and just use Mafia, linking it to the American Mafia article. So the lead of the article would be He is a member of the Mafia (Cosa Nostra) it would be good not to link the "Cosa Nostra" to the Sicilian Mafia article since they are different organizations. The Mafia in American uses the term Cosa Nostra to describe itself. -- Vic49 ( talk) 21:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe it could be He was a member of the Mafia (Cosa Nostra, in English "Our Thing") it maybe a good idea to link "Our Thing" to the Etymology section of the Sicilian Mafia article.-- Vic49 ( talk) 21:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- I agree Mafia (Cosa Nostra) has a simple look and the reader flows through the sentence easily. The Sicilian Mafia article explains that in America the government official uses the term "La Cosa Nostra" to describe the Mafia. I think Cosa Nostra would be just fine since its the governments usage and no member refers to it as "La Cosa Nostra" its just "Cosa Nostra" to them. Which is bettter? -- Vic49 ( talk) 22:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey, would you mind making your move request at Eric the Actor into a formalized one using the method from WP:RM? That way, once the discussion is closed, it can be moved by an admin, since the move is not currently one that can be done by a regular editor. Or alternatively you could request it as a non controversial move, depending on how you feel about that.-- Yaksar (let's chat) 06:19, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.

I see that I put "Robert Gay" in a Reference title. I wanted to shorten it. Actually, My referencing isnt Poor, I havent even saw 1 person have more than 5 Reference's for a "Gangster". It is was really hard to find Reference's under Robert Mormando, I tried to post more thing's about him and the most Important thing about him was that he is Gay and it is very Unusual to find a "Gangster" that is gay and is usually killed for breaking Omerta also he dated John Gotti's nephew which I also find quite Important. I havent seen any person on Wikipedia Referencing and having as much Information on a Gangster apart from me. Im actually considered The "Wikipedia Five Familie's Leader", Haha. Have a great week.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Orange County Register, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Drug use ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Altered speedy deletion rationale: David Catapano
Hello Lenin and McCarthy. I am just letting you know that I deleted David Catapano, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 00:01, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

The term Mafia is not the official name for organized crime it's a media term. I think it would be a good idea to drop the "American" part off and just use Mafia, linking it to the American Mafia article. So the lead of the article would be He is a member of the Mafia (Cosa Nostra) it would be good not to link the "Cosa Nostra" to the Sicilian Mafia article since they are different organizations. The Mafia in American uses the term Cosa Nostra to describe itself. -- Vic49 ( talk) 21:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe it could be He was a member of the Mafia (Cosa Nostra, in English "Our Thing") it maybe a good idea to link "Our Thing" to the Etymology section of the Sicilian Mafia article.-- Vic49 ( talk) 21:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- I agree Mafia (Cosa Nostra) has a simple look and the reader flows through the sentence easily. The Sicilian Mafia article explains that in America the government official uses the term "La Cosa Nostra" to describe the Mafia. I think Cosa Nostra would be just fine since its the governments usage and no member refers to it as "La Cosa Nostra" its just "Cosa Nostra" to them. Which is bettter? -- Vic49 ( talk) 22:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey, would you mind making your move request at Eric the Actor into a formalized one using the method from WP:RM? That way, once the discussion is closed, it can be moved by an admin, since the move is not currently one that can be done by a regular editor. Or alternatively you could request it as a non controversial move, depending on how you feel about that.-- Yaksar (let's chat) 06:19, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- Whoops, so sorry about rushing to the move, I was going to make it just a technical request but rethought it and made a normal official request instead, completely forgetting to give you any time in case you wanted to be the one to make the nomination. My bad.-- Yaksar (let's chat) 17:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.
