Nancy Ann[edit]

What about Buddy Cianci's personal life and his infamous (ex?) wife? Morganfitzp 09:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After watching Maddow's show the other night, I came here to learn more about Nanciancianci. Can someone add more about her? Dobermanji (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tenure[edit]

Erastus Corning of Albany served longer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erastus_Corning_II>. I'm removing the reference to "longest-serving mayor in U. S. history." Eddieuny 22:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperbole[edit]

From the article:

"His political career ended with a racketeering conviction in May 2002."

His political career is just on extended hiatus. On a (slightly) more serious note, shouldn't this article be at Buddy Cianci since that's his most common name? 64.252.23.56 03:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with the name. Gomi no sensei 02:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good article[edit]

Congrats to all for a very good article, unbiased, even in tone, informative, clearly written. Just the plain facts are enough to paint him just right: scary. NaySay (talk) 14:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC) (in RI)[reply]


Party Affiliation[edit]

He is, according to both the info box, the story line, and the link in the lead, an Independent... unaffiliated, yet the lead says he is a Republican... that is unsupported by the link provided (1) to make the claim. He is a former Republican, and an Independent since 1983. Could someone correct it? 24.3.122.98 (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the reference to "Republican" to the sentence about his mayoralty, because he was initially elected to that office as a Republican. JamesMLane t c 05:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but that wasn't the change I was talking about, so I changed it in the lead by adding that he was a former Republican who declared as an Independent in 1983. I believe it is clearer now that though elected as a Republican, he switched before his term was over. --24.3.122.98 (talk) 16:50, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I didn't think it was clear, because it first referred to him as "a former Republican". The reader would have to correlate the dates to extract the point you refer to. I thought it was clearer to spell it out in a separate passage instead of trying to shoehorn into the discussion about the length of his tenure. I left out the exact date of his switch because of uncertainty -- I've seen both 1982 and 1983 given. JamesMLane t c 03:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


That works, and yes, your entry is more clear. --24.3.122.98 (talk) 13:37, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sourcing and clarification[edit]

There are a number of statements in this page that need to be sourced per WP:BLP. In particular, any statements about convictions. Also, the article is confusing in that it states he was forced to resign due to being a convicted felon but does not explain how he was able to run for office a second time. Return Of a Felon Who Once Was Mayor seems to explain some of these details and sources statements in the article that are missing refs. I'll try to work this in later. --mikeu talk 02:42, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Longest-serving[edit]

Years ago, User:Eddieuny noted that the article's claim of Cianci being longest-serving in the US was easily disproved. The article has lately been stable with a statement that he was longest-serving of Providence and one of the longest-serving in the US. Based on List of mayors of Providence, Rhode Island, the statement about Providence is true. User:2601:188:ce80:8e20:c1b:541a:a6b3:4673 removed the claim about the US. Based on List of longest-serving mayors in the United States, Cianci's 21 years indeed does not seem that remarkable. So I support that removal. DMacks (talk) 02:20, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
