Does it seem spammy to anyone else...
editDoes it seem spammy to anyone else to have the image at the top of the page that of a book? Seems like there ought to be a better image to use that would be more neutral. Unforgiven24 (talk) 15:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
reference 1; Michigan History
editThe link in reference 1 has nothing to do with the Purple Gang. It's all about a man named Booth and a place called Cranbrook; not one mention of the Purple Gang or the Bernstein brothers. Someone needs to find a proper link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.194.36.163 (talk) 13:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
What Happened to This Article?
editWho took all of the information out of this entry? And why? It no longer has any history of the Purples, lists no names and incidents, and links to almost nothing else. The Detroit News story linked as reference 1 has far more information than this now-useless article. 72.227.138.15 (talk) 18:16, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Popular Culture - Eminem Song
editThe Eminem song listed does not refer to 'Purple Gang' as the mobsters. It refers to Purple Gang the rap group from Detroit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Higgers10 (talk • contribs) 00:14, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I second this. Purple Gang was a group signed to Proof's record label. He's clearly talking about them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.156.136.229 (talk) 15:30, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
