Greetings! I know you've waited a few months for a review, but I have good news! I'm stuck in a tin can for 5 hours tomorrow late night UTC, so I'm going to use that time wisely to review this article. I expect to have the review posted in the early morning hours UTC the following day. (Approximately less than 36 hours from this post.) I look forward to reading and reviewing this article. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 18:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why thank you! You know, all of a sudden, three of my GA nominees are being reviewed. Quite something. I guess prayer works. Coretheapple (talk) 18:43, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:
Pass or Fail:
This is an extremely well written article. I only found one glaring issue: In the Allegations of misconduct section, it says "...against them. and of..." There are also some issues with one image. Just needs a bit of cleaning up and then I'd be happy to pass this article. TLSuda (talk) 15:21, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

File:JackDiamond.jpg does not have a full enough fair-use rationale, specifically looking at WP:NFCC#10. You can use {{Non-free use rationale}}. I would further go to say that this image fails WP:NFCC#8 in both this and worse in List of American mobsters of Irish descent where it also fails WP:NFLISTS. This image should not be included in the article. TLSuda (talk) 15:21, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done Say, thanks very much for the review! Much appreciated. Coretheapple (talk) 16:58, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know when you get the image fixed and I will promote this article. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 18:36, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually removed the image as you suggested. I don't know how to fix that image, and as you point out WP:NFCC#8 seems to be a fatal flaw preventing use in this article under any circumstances. Coretheapple (talk) 21:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, so you have! In that case, I'm happy to promote this article to Good Article! TLSuda (talk) 03:25, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks again. Coretheapple (talk) 13:31, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
