WikiProject

Please see WikiProject Organized crime (proposed) for details on this possible collaborative effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadMax (talk • contribs)

Other crime groups

I think its important to include significant events that have happened with the street gangs and other organized crime groups operating or who formerly operated in Chicago, and not just include Outfit events. If anyone can find info or knows info, please contribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.30.26 (talk • contribs)

Operation Greylord

This cite and its details need adding in FBI note on Greylord. The entire city was in the outfit's control.86.42.204.187 (talk) 23:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Question

Am I alone in thinking that the Rod Blagojevich corruption charges don't belong in this article? Besides which, the entry is stale. He has been convicted, which is not reflected. But is public corruption in the 21st century really germane to the story of Organized Crime in Chicago? Gtwfan52 (talk) 07:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Split discussion

The result of this discussion was No support to split page

---

As an article, this page is deficient in terms of WP:MOS, among its many issues is the lack of a introductory section or lede; also lack of narrative. As a list, this page is deficient in terms of providing explicit inclusion criteria. As it stands, this page is closest to an amalgam of two or possibly three separate lists.

I propose we split this page into two list articles:

1. Timeline of organized crime in Chicago, and
2. List of Chicago criminal organizations and crime bosses.

Please do not remove the split template until this discussion is closed. Thanks, Hugh (talk) 19:37, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Is this page a list in the sense of WP:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists? Is this page a timeline in the sense of WP:CHRONO? Hugh (talk) 04:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Organized Crime in Chicago

Look, I'm only interested in bonafide Chicago gangsters and mobsters. The content concerning ex-IL Gov. George Ryan and such, on the "Organized Crime in Chicago" page, was already there when I first started adding content. I didn't delete it, because I'm so tired of fighting with *-holes on this site who have their "pet" articles, which nobody else can so much as correct for bad grammar. As far as the timeline link, it was here, too, when I began adding gangster content. Remove it also, if you want to. The criminal organizations content was also here when I started adding mobster content. However, I spruced that up; and, I think this content adds to the list of bonafide organized crime deeds on the page and vice versa. I would like that to stay on the page.
