Copyvio?

User:24.147.103.146 Blanked page, claiming copyright infringement to www.whiteyworld.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've rewritten the article from scratch, that should take care of it. --Michael Snow 01:05, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

New image

The new image is not valid fair use; TV screen shots can only be used for identification or critical commentary of the tv station or program, not for identification of people. Furthermore, a fair use image cannot replace a similar Public Domain image. -Lanoitarus .:. 07:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Other actor pages use copyrighted screenshots, for example see Jim Carrey. The current picture is not a good picture because it is not one that people who know of Alex Rocco (i.e. seen him in the Godfather and other movies), recognize. Furthermore, it instills a POV. While he was questioned for the murder, he was never charged, and the picture makes it look like he was charged. I will note this on the picture deletion page, and update the photo in a couple of days. -- Jeff3000 02:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I feel that Alex Rocco should not be portrayed in a negative light. The photo should be changed to one where he plays the character of Moe Greene in the Godfather. - Zarbon

Winter Hill Gang

Why no mention of this ? 98.118.62.140 (talk) 17:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The Winter Hill material was previously in the article. It's been restored w/ (hopefully) better writing. I'm going to contact the original redactor and strongly request that the material be left in place. Tapered (talk) 05:23, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Very quick update (-: Redactor retired!Tapered (talk) 05:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Wow

Will be working on a copy edit over the next couple of days; the writing in this article is an absolute mess.PacificBoy 05:03, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Death

This article was updated to indicate that Rocco had died, and I found one unreliable source making that claim. Until we have reliable sources reporting this, we should not be claiming that he has died. Better to be a few hours out of date than to risk participating in a death hoax. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Okay, his daughter is reporting his death; that should suffice. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

He appeared in a music video centering on grief and death at Devon Gundry - "Armed" which might be interesting to mention. --Smkolins (talk) 23:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

A possible ref noting details of history and interests - Actor Alex Rocco says he's indebted to Bahai teachings by Marilyn Beck, The San Bernardino County Sun (San Bernardino, California)11 Sep 1975, Page 39
