[edit] inappropriate tone

Using names such as Stevie and Jimmy makes this read more like a tabloid newspaper than an encyclopedia. "Deebra"? Please spell the McGonagle's names correctly. Dubhdara 05:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not verified

Need to cite sources. Are any of these people still living at the address on East Third Street? Is there a good reason to list it if someone else lives there? Dubhdara 05:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Craigslist

Found this posting on Craigslist, asking for help tracking him down. I suppose this information is useful or at least interesting.

[edit] Bisexualism

I notice that his bisexualism seems to be removed from the article everytime it is explicitly stated. I think it is a valid and appropriate fact that is sourced in various materials The Brothers Bulger by Howie Carr being the latest. What is going on? Dwain

Because you insist on replacing other text and labeling him bisexual without any references to verify it. IrishGuy ^talk 03:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

It's in plenty of sources, Carr's book being just the latest. Kester Teague 15:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I am more inclined to believe Kevin Weeks' insistance that Bulger was straight as a nail. Weeks was far closer to Bulger and knew him much better than Howie Carr or Eddie MacKenzie who paint him as a predatory bisexual. [User:kingstowngalway]

He wasn't bisexual and that fat ass liar and dickhead howie carr would know shit about Whitey. Take Weeks' word for it, instead of that fat ass carr.

[edit] Libellous information

I have removed a lot of unverified information here which, if untrue, would be libellous. If anyone verifies what i removed, please revert the page back. Jonomacdrones 20:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagged for Neutral Point of View

This article is a train wreck when it comes to maintaining encyclopedic neutrality. It's practically a textbook case of how not to write an article for an encyclopedia. I hate Whitey, I hate Billy too, but look, phrases such as "ruled with an iron fist", "whatever the truth", "Irish Godfather", "in spite of his ruthless nature", and so forth have no business being in a reference source. I've also tagged it for tone. Cantabwarrior 00:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• “Irish Godfather” sounds appropriate given the nearly-mythic perception people in Southie had of him.69.29.93.242 05:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'm going to fix a slight glitch I've found

I notice that most times this article references the "FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives", it drops the final 's' and becomes "FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive". I'm going to edit it now. Hold on a second...

[edit] Mullen Gang

If anyone has any info. on the mullen gang or members etc, please make a page or message me, thank you.

[edit] LSD (+) Bulger at Alcatraz

It would be worth mentioning, as an interesting side note, that Whitey bulger was part of LSD experiments in prison n order to get an early release.

[edit] character in departed

Frank Costello, played by Jack Nicholson, is based on Infernal_Affairs's character Hon Sam, unless there's references saying Hon Sam is based on Bulger, it should not be here Z3u2 22:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
