[edit] Blanking

User:24.147.103.146 Blanked page, claiming copyright infringement to www.whiteywatch.com. I can find no such infringement from that site, so I am restoring the previous version.

If you can provide a more specific source for the alleged infringement please do, otherwise please do not blank wikipedia articles. -Lanoitarus 04:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

• I have located the specific source of the violation, [1]. I have now reverted to the most recent non-copyrighted version. -Lanoitarus 05:53, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Regarding the photo of James "Buddy" McLean, it has long since been established that it is the property of the Boston Police Department as cited in Paddy Whacked: The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster by T.J. English (as does the previously removed quote in the introduction) and thus falls into public domain (see Image talk:McLean.JPG). If future editors feel the photo is a matter of copyright violation, they are free to request for immediate removal of copyright violations. MadMax 04:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
