Vandalism[edit]

This article has been seriously vandalised. Everything in the Redevelopment section and throughout the rest of the article after that is made-up crap from someone who thought they were funny but who lacks real creativity. The vandal even tampered with the sections called Bosses of the North Side Gang and Members of the North Side Gang to insert his/her made-up gangsters. I suspect at the beginning of the article the vandal also inserted "family" in North Side family Gang. I saw this quite a while ago and didn't have time to address it and I see it's still there. If you'll note there are no sources for any of it because it was all conjured out of someone's tiny, uncreative brain. Please revert to an older version because this article really makes Wikipedia look really unreliable. Lock & Key (talk) 08:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To conjure something up would be the opposite - instead of a tiny, uncreative mind, they would in fact have a large, creative mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by X-Man1000 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Phrasing[edit]

Some of the phrases in this article need re-wording, for example: "Frankie reassumed the throne and George happily took over..." Reassumed the throne is not a term used in mob articles, and there is no proof George happily took over. Keep opinions like this out. There is also a lot of use of first names/nicknames when I think full name should be used. Square126 (talk) 16:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That part is all fake anyway. It was all made up by a vandal. Lock & Key (talk) 08:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Made-up Gang[edit]

Good tale. Wish it was true. Try fiction next time. Thedeparted123 (talk) 01:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Large revert[edit]

If someone wants to argue that the gang didn't end in 1935 and has remained active ever since, get some proper sourcing. Until then it should remain as it is. No nonsense about a "Nick 'The Actor' Jantz" and adding tons of ethnicities either. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 20:48, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

quickly dismissed?[edit]

"they were quickly dismissed."
