I'll get to this soon, within a couple of days... ♦ jaguar 21:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Early life
  • "who was murdered on August 12, 1933 in Patterson, New York, U.S" - unnecessary here  Done
Criminal career
  • "the Newfoundland Supreme Court threw out the case." - how about dropped?  Done
  • " Drug dealer Normand Dupuis ready to testify against him for a reduced prison sentence" - missing word between Duipuis and 'ready', perhaps was?  Done
  • "Though only considered a soldier of the New York Bonanno crime family" - link soldato  Done
Indictment
  • "Massino, who is serving a life sentence for murder" - could a time reference be added here? As of 2021 etc? If he is still serving his life sentence of course  Done "Massino, who received a life sentence for murder after he turned state's evidence in 2004..." as he is out of prison.
  • "this was a fate that was far from the worst that could happen to Mr. Rizzuto, Rizzuto got off easy with just a five-year prison term in the United States" - this reads a bit choppy, needs rephrasing Massino, who received a life sentence for murder after he turned state's evidence in 2004  Done Let me know if needs further refinement. "Organized crime authors Antonio Nicaso and Lee Lamothe stated of the sentence respectively, "It's a great deal. He couldn't expect anything better", and, "I think the system has been beaten again"."
Incarceration and release
  • "and immediately deported to Toronto, Ontario, Canada" - a bit too descriptive, lose Ontario or Canada  Done
  • "Rizzuto met with representatives of the New York mafia families" - this should be capitalised  Done

This is a solid article overall, evidenced through the few points mentioned above. The references also look fine - I've converted all the dates to mdy format so they're consistent. As always, I enjoy reading these. Once the minor points are out of the way this will be good to go. jaguar 00:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguar: Done, thanks! Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 03:42, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The quote in the "Aftermath" subsection doesn't match the source, but I found it. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 05:12, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have corrected the source. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 05:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both, I missed that part in the aftermath section. With those out of the way, I'll be happy to promote this. jaguar 11:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
