SCV for 2009-11-15 Edit


  • Frank Cullotta (history · last edit) from CULLOTTA – The Life of a Chicago Criminal, Las Vegas Mobster, and Government Witness. Web search gives the first few paragraphs very similar to an excerpt from the book on this site; it is possible other material is from the book as well. Some of the tone in the text seems written by a professional biographer, not an editor. Intelligentsium 03:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Very likely, he is a professional biographer; the user's name and userpage suggests he is the author of the book. However, we need verification of that. Since he wasn't supplied the "nothanks" template, I've advised him how to proceed and relisted. Currently administrator guidelines require a week's notice in such cases. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Star of Greece (shipwreck) (history · last edit) from Australian Shipwrecks. A Pictorial History. Axiom Publishing, 2009. ISBN 978 1 8647658 8 5 (per own admission on page; permission asserted). Tim Song (talk) 07:24, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
