Sifakis' Mafia Encyclopedia has his name James DeMota, not Vince Gibaldi. Trekphiler 15:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

• Support Merge Same man and the title of the page to be moved contains an extraneous quotation mark after "McGurn".
• Merge Complete I merged the article "Jack 'Machine Gun' McGurn" with the current article and tried to make it flow. Only added a sentence or two from the other article into this one and put a redirect on the other one.--Anon 01:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GIBALDI

HIS NAME WAS GIBALDI YOU FAGGOT, DONT EVER CHANGE IT AGAIN

According to a book I'm presently reading; The Mafia: The First 100 Years; McGurn was born in New York. His father was killed during the war between Frankie Yale's Black Hand Gang and Wild Bill Lovett's White Hand Gang.

GIBALDI's father, who was only loosely involved with the rackets, was killed due to mistaken identity with Willie Alteri. GIBALDI came to the attention of Frankie Yale after he started killing both their mutal enemies.

After a botched attempt on Lovett, Yale decided to send him to his former protege Al Capone where he took up the moniker Jack McGurn.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jack2sm.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
