Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced negative biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Chris Collins. Thank you. John254 20:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- The listing is now more specific and sourced. Thanks.—D'Ranged 1 talk 20:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Disambiguation pages
Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). I notice you're adding additional information to disambiguation pages which would only belong in articles about the subjects. In this example,[1], it would be OK to have the entry be
- Carlos Morales (porn star), a Grabby Award-winning performer in gay porn films
But we shouldn't include separate links in a "see also" section since they aren't part of the disambiguaiton. -Will Beback · † · 21:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- Have a look at the post above this one about adding unsourced negative information, etc.; which is what prompted the additions. I'll change them as you've suggested. Thanks.—D'Ranged 1 talk 21:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- If someone asks for a source then provide one. When I checked this guy I found that there's apparently a mistake in the list of award winners. Frankly, I don't understand the purpose of adding these names to disambiguation lists. -Will Beback · † · 22:28, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- Our list was numbered incorrectly, although it matched the previous website; when they remodeled they opted for consistency rather than accuracy—long story. As for the purpose, what's the purpose of having anyone listed on a disambiguation page that doesn't already have an article? Not trying to be combative, but articles on porn performers are treated much too differently than other articles, imho. Anyway, thanks.—D'Ranged 1 talk 22:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- In general, yes, people should only be listed on disambiguation pages if they have articles. I'm not sure why you are adding so many names. When we clean out unlinked names from the list of male porn stars their presence on disambiguation pages won't effect the outcome substantially. -Will Beback · † · 19:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
