Copy & Paste[edit]

Changes have been made. Additional revisions are forthcoming. This article is short in length. Give it time. Currently, one source is cited because much of the content has been deleted or condensed. Other sources will be cited. Instead of conveying your general discontent through discussion forums, research the topic and edit the page! I have done so. Have you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Damagescap (talk • contribs) 04:24, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like some of this is copied from Jack Ruby. Which, by the way, is under protection. Related? KMS 19:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it's related. The original author here does not show up in the history list for Jack Ruby. This obviously came from some other source, and it has some POV issues toward the end of the article. Realkyhick 15:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I need to site the sources, ran out of time at work. I'll fix shortly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JGregory (talk • contribs)

That's fine. Just remember that we can't just copy and paste from an outside source, unless you simply used your own word processor to compose the article before pasting it in here, which is OK. Realkyhick 17:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"...located at 5610 E. Mockingbird Lane in the University Park area of Dallas, Texas." This sentence is problematic to me. University Park isn't an area of Dallas, Texas. University Park is one of two small cities (Highland Park being the other) that are separate from, but entirely surrounded by Dallas, Texas. The Egyptian is across the freeway (US 75 (I-45)) from University Park. Someone should revise this article accordingly. Pygmypony (talk) 11:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Campisi's is definitely NOT in University Park. It's adjacent to Lower Greenville, but that isn't really a correct identifying location, either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.255.228.79 (talk) 00:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Net income in 1963 and 1967[edit]

http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/hsca/reportvols/vol9/html/HSCA_Vol9_0172a.htm paragraph 911 says the Campisi brothers netted $42,000 each from the restaurant in 1960 and by 1967 it was estimated they were netting $100,000 each. Those two amounts are sourced to items 1142/1143 which are

(1142) Mar. 17, 1967 FBI report, file No. 92-5704-9.
(1143) Aug. 17, 1967 FBI report, file No. 162-2443-3.

Should this be added to the article? --Marc Kupper|talk 01:20, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are thousands of factoids to be found in the various reports and appendices of the various governmental investigations involving the assassination of Kennedy. Not all of them are notable. The relevance of the restaurant in those reports is only significant in the context of Joseph Campisi and he isn't really notable enough to have his own Wikipedia article either. At best, the restaurant could be a sub-section in an article about Campisi. The HSCA looked at associates of Jack Ruby that might tie him to organized crime. They looked at Campisi and essentially said, "Nothing to be found here." He is not mentioned in their final report and his biography and association with Ruby only takes up a little over two pages in Appendix IX. Location (talk) 04:00, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
