Bioshock Infinite & the best games list

Hello, the List of video games considered the best list is generated from the sources used, the lists of references at the bottom of the article. It's not a list of "games wikipedia editors like" or anything. Bioshock Infinite is indeed listed on some of those lists, but so are ~30 other games that would need to be added if admission standards were lowered, as they are seen as or more often & in higher positions in those lists than Infinite.

Hi, See attached reference to current changes on Genovese family article. This is an affidavit from informant Vincent Cafaro

This affadavit you referenced is massive and it is impossible to check to see if the changes you made to the Genovese family page are actually backed up by the affadavit. Please provide quotes from the affadavit to back up these changes. Elephantbones (talk) 23:55, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

pg. 868 Affidavit/Vincent Cafaro

"Our family or "burgad" approximately 300-400 members a boss, underboss, consigliere, followed by 14 caporegimes. Begining in early 1980s Fat Tony was street boss for years Fat Tony reported back to Phillip Lombardo. "

pg. 689 "In the 1960s when Vito Genovese went to jail he turned control over to Lombardo. In 1972, Lombardo was boss, Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli was underboss and Fat Tony consigliere. Lombardo wanted to stay in background so Thomas Eboli front as boss while Lombardo controlled from background. After Eboli death in 1972, Lombardo continued in the background while Eli Zaccardi fronted as boss. When I (Vincent Cafaro) was straightened out in 1974, Lombardo was boss, Funzi Tieri the underboss who fronted as the boss and Fat Tony the consigliere. Again Lombardo stayed in background and put Tieri as front boss. In 1976 Fat Tony became underboss and Buckallo Anthoio Ferro the consilgiere. In 1978 Fat Dom Alongi replaced Buckaloo as the consigliere followed by Manna in 1980. By this time Fat Tony fronted as boss but the real power was Lombardo. "^[1]

pg. 689 "In 1981 Fat Tony had a stroke and was pulled down by Lombardo, Vincent Gigante, Manna and Santora. Lombardo was in poor health and retired. Gigante became the boss, Santora the underboss and Manna the consigliere. Gigante allowed Fat Tony to contiune to front as the boss letting other families believe that Fat Tony still controlled the brugad. Fat Tony represent the family by sitting on commission and meeting representatives of the other families. Fat Tony conferred with Chin on any major matter affecting the family. Chin attended a commission meeting but preferred Fat Tony go to these meetings." ^[1]
