[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)
- It's lifted an you have NO right to use it. You are no more a writer than a kid that steals twinkies from the local store. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.68.225.219 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Irish Gang Wars: tone, sources?
The tone of the Irish Gang Wars section seems overly anecdotal, and the content itself reads like it is largely based on anecdotal evidence. What is the source of these stories? They're interesting, but they should be clearly framed within whatever source they were taken from, i.e. something like "According to (source), the history of McLean's involvement in Irish gang wars is as follows:" - JTHobbyist 23:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Parents
- Buddy was not an orphan, he was the son of William McLean, a lond shoreman boss who lived in Somerville, MA. His mother is unknown to me but I did know his father, He marrried my mother's sister. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.27.148.85 (talk • contribs).
