Talk:Messina Denaro Mafia clan

Citations needed

Hi there, I have undertaken some work on this article, primarily in relation to copy editing and rewriting the text with regards to Wikipedia policy re-ensuring that information about living people is not libelous. Before I began, the existing text made a lot of unverified statements about this family. I could only find a few sources to cite the information included in the article, and it still definitely needs more citations inserted so that the information is verifiable.Jihadcola (talk) 17:06, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Jihadcola

I looked over the article and removed the copy editing heading, I think it's good. I agree about the references, some of the information seems somewhat unverifiable.Editfromwithout (talk) 00:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Cosa Nostra section

I removed the Cosa Nostra section of the article. I don't see what it had to do with this particular family--interested readers can go directly to the cosa nostra article, there's no need to repeat it. The information within seemed more fiction than fact anyway, despite the supposed reference. If someone feels it is important for the article, feel free to reinstate it.Editfromwithout (talk) 00:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphan

I have de-orphaned the article by attaching links on Matteo Messina Denaro and Corleone. -matrix142- ~15:02~ ~06 July 2013~

Hoax

The Messina Denaro Mafia clan does not exist. A search on Google shows that the main sources are related to the article in Wikipedia. Two Messina Denaro’s were important mafiosi in Castelvetrano but they did not constitute a specific clan. The references to the the Denaro family which allegedly trace their heritage back to the 12th century have nothing to do with the Messina Denaro mafiosi. Typical case of WP:NOR. - DonCalo (talk) 14:54, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Redirected to Matteo Messina Denaro. Too many blatant errors and misinformation to even try to correct them. - DonCalo (talk) 12:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
