Al Capone

... that Vine-Glo sold during Prohibition carried a warning telling people how to make wine from it and Al Capone (pictured) allegedly threatened to force it out of Chicago? Source: Grape Collective, A History of Wine in America. 2. University of California Press. pp. 29–30. ISBN 0520241762.

Reviewed: SSA impersonation scam
Comment: For either 1417 January or 25 January (Al Capone's birth/death dates)

Created by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 21:13, 20 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New enough, long enough, interesting, image in public domain and clear, copyvio due to one quote, hook in article and followed by 2 inline citations of which one needs subscription. I can see the information in the book on history of wine making which is cited following hook fact in article. QPQ provided. Al-Capone's article was interesting to read too. For either 1417 January or 25 January (Al Capone's birth/death dates) seems ok with me. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:14, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

“Dry communities”

Please don’t just delete the tag that points to something that is unclear: please fix by way of explanation or link. 213.205.194.172 (talk) 23:28, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It’s been changed, but it’s still not clear. What do you mean by a “dry community”? A town or urban area? A section of society (regardless of geography)? You need to clarify what you mean by this. 213.205.194.172 (talk) 11:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
