Talk:Machine Gun Kelly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Barnes?
I just removed the name Barnes... then put it back :S. The only mention of Barnes on the FBI page is that it was his fathers name, but I see no other evidence it was used, even in the court case against him(??). Then I found this link: http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/outlaws/kelly/2.html anyhow, I found it confusing, and feel it needs further explanation as to why he is mostly refered to as Machine Gun Kelly. Maybe move it into a description of his father similar to the FBI bio Dwxyzq 22:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- The article says:
- To protect his family and escape law enforcement officers, he changed his name to George R. Kelly.
- But looking back at the first sentence, we see that he was born as "George R. Kelly"
- I have not researched this enough to know what his name was at birth, but if his name was other than George R. Kelly at birth, the article should say that, even if it was only his name for a day, and even if no one ever called him that.
- Maybe we could say something like

[edit] Nickname
There is an obvious omission from this article: how did he get his nickname? Sure, the reader can assume the obvious - that he used machine guns in his crimes - but it would be much better to have some details in the article. Does anyone have any info on this? -- Hux 21:01, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage
"The couple were married..." What couple? This section should be expanded or deleted. Otherise it's pretty pointless. NickQ 21:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
