Their territory needs to be updated. They have chapters in New York, Missouri, Canada, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua-per their official website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.176.117.103 (talk) 20:28, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

RfC started to discuss replacing Criminal Org Infobox with Org Infobox

Please comment on an RfC to replace Template:Infobox Criminal organization with Template:Infobox Organization for active motorcycle clubs. Thanks! --Dbratland (talk) 20:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

http://bitterqueen.typepad.com/ is a blog.

First, what is the harm in leaving the "Allies" field blank if we don't have reliable sources? What is the urgency to fill in every field on these infoboxes?

http://bitterqueen.typepad.com/ is a blog. The TV report referenced in the blog does not any information on who are the allies of Vagos Motorcycle Club. Why is the blog linked to at all?--Dbratland (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Since you don't trust the source, I added in a "citation needed" but left in the information. I'm sure there's another, reliable, source out there somewhere.--WölffReik (talk) 14:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Would you please answer my question as to why the Allies field (or any other field on the template) can't be left blank until a reliable source is found. --Dbratland (talk) 20:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

The answer is: there is no harm in leaving it blank. I have found these fields to be simplistic at best, misleading at worst. It really depends on what time period you are referring to, and also, what geographic area. For example, when I lived in Alberta where the dominant biker clubs in the late sixties, and through the seventies and eighties were the Grim Reapers, the Rebels, the Warlords, and King's Crew, the "territory" and "alliances" changed over time. Early on, the Rebels and Warlords had an alliance - mainly to keep other clubs from becoming established in the Edmonton area. In the seventies, Edmonton-based Rebels were at times "allied" with Kings Crew of Calgary, and both had tense relations with the Reapers, whose strongholds were Calgary and Red Deer, and who also opened an Edmonton chapter in 1981. The Rebels also opened a Calgary chapter at one point. However, by later in the eighties, Reapers and Rebels were allies, Reapers having become the dominant outlaw club in the province, and by 1997, Reapers were patched over to Hells Angels and what were left of the Rebels were still an independent club, but subservient to Hells Angels (i.e. not permitted to fly the lower rocker "Alberta"). Ex-Bandido "Connecticut Ed" claims in his book that later on, some supposed members of the Rebels were disillusioned with the HA relationship and were part of the ill-fated attempt to establish a Bandidos chapter in Alberta, but this I doubt. I'm guessing if there is any truth to what Ed says they might have been younger, former wannabe "Rebels", but not real ones. Anyway, to claim any two biker clubs are allies or foes it needs to be put into context of space and time, just like with countries. England and France have been allies at times and at war with each other at other times. I trust y'all take my point. Garth of the Forest (talk) 20:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Associated Press:Vagos told police about attempted hire as hitman

"Calif. bill would target spouses who hire hit men By CATHY BUSSEWITZ (AP) – 1 day ago

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The story behind the legislation reads like a movie pitch.

The wife of a Southern California police detective, distraught because she had lost custody of her children, tries to hire a hit man from the Vagos motorcycle gang to kill him.

Instead, gang members alert police, who disguise themselves as biker thugs and secretly tape a conversation with her, leading to the wife's arrest and ultimate conviction for solicitation of murder....."

• This information should be in article, out of fairness to Vagos.--Rich Peterson24.7.28.186 (talk) 11:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

It might be your opinion that this changes what we know about the Vagos, but do any reliable sources share your opinion? It is entirely consistent with what we know about outlaw motorcycle clubs that they would not trust the wife of a police detective, and they would have no qualms about turning her in rather than trusting her. They probably figured it was a trap. Even this story continues to refer to the Vagos as a "motorcycle gang" and doesn't make any claim that they have reformed themselves.

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. If you find any reliable sources who have reevaluated their ideas about the Vagos, go ahead and cite them. If all you want is to add a sentence to the article saying they turned in the wife of a police detective who tried to hire them to kill her husband, go ahead. I don't see how it means much one way or the other. --Dbratland (talk) 00:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I do think it should be added, yes-it's notable and reported by the AP; I don't know if it proves much, but it was the right thing for them to do, and leaving it out wiould undermine wikipedia's credibility. I'll put it in if you would prefer not; in which section would it fit best?--Thanks, R. Peterson24.7.28.186 (talk) 05:14, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
