Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Michael Wincott, you may be blocked from editing. Many of your recent attempted edits have tripped our edit filter and appear to be deliberately disruptive. Please stop. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
Welcome!
editHello, Buzzetti, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Please be advised that some of the edits that you made to the article for Michael Wincott on August 19th and 20th have been reverted.
In some cases you completely removed information that was supported by multiple cited references, such as the fact that Wincott is known for his raspy voice and for often playing villains, as well as the entire paragraph that was in the lead section that referred to many of the roles he has been known for. As per Wikipedia's Manual Of Style guideline pertaining to the lead section, this section is meant to establish the subject's notability and give the reader the "basics in a nutshell".
You also added or changed other information that was not supported by the existing references and for which you did not add any additional supporting reference, including the fact that he grew up in Scarborough: Many other editors have tried specifying that Wincott grew up in Scarborough, but so far no reference has been provided. I personally tried to find a source for this information and unfortunately I could not find this reported by a reliable source. The best I could find was that it was a Toronto suburb.
That isn't to say that the cited sources couldn't be wrong or inaccurate. They very well could be, but if you disagree with any of the information in this article that has cited references and you are able to provide contradictory information from other sources, feel free to discuss them on the article's talk page and allow other editors to weigh-in and attempt to gain consensus. If you wish to add something to a sentence, please check the existent cited reference to make sure that the words you are adding are actually supported by said reference. If the information is not supported, then add an additional reference, otherwise your edits risk being reverted. If you don't know how to format a reference you can read more here or feel free to leave an edit suggestion on the talk page and a more experienced editor can assist you.
On a bright note, some of your edits have been retained, if not reworded somewhat: For example the sentence that stated Veni Vidi Vici centred around the Swedish porn industry was inaccurate and stemmed from a mistake on my part. Apparently the series was a Swedish production, but I was unable to find a reference that supported that it was about Thomas Bo Larsen working in the Swedish porn industry, although I couldn't find any that stated it centered around the Danish porn industry either, so I reworded is as "The Swedish series stars Danish actor Thomas Bo Larsen and centers around the porn industry". Again, we want to keep to what can be supported by references. I thank you for pointing that one out. I've also re-removed Lula from the short film chart out of since I was unable to find any evidence of his involvement with this film.
You may wish to read more about Wikipedia's main policies revolve around verifiability and notability. These policies are of special importance when it comes to biographies of living persons. When information is added to Wikipedia it is important that the reader is able to find the source of the information in order to be able to discern for themselves whether it comes from a reliable source and whether it demonstrates a neutral point of view.
You might also want to check-out Wikipedia's Manual of Style that covers such thing as the formatting of section headers which specifies that headings are to be presented in sentence case (Early life and education), and not title case (Early Life and Education), as per your edits to that particular heading.
