Not sure if anyone has actually asked you straight out- Do you have a conflict of interest with Carlo Masi? Please read [[WP:COI]] - note you don't necessarily have to be being paid to have one. If so, you really must declare it. I"m asking because you just added a photograph of Carlo Masi at his wedding, which you declared to be your own work. This would mean you attended that wedding.

{{ping|Curdle}} I am preparing to get a C1 certificate (don't laugh, lol) so I am more than happy to practice my english, I have known carlo masi's name for ages, like many others. I like him and his story very much and I read siti's book. I am locked up in my apartment therefore I have much spare time in my hands and this is a perfect situation to get a fixation with something. I found that picture of Carlo on the web, there are plenty (probably it was on his facebook but I am not sure), I send him a Facebook message telling him I noticed that he didn't have an english bio on wikipedia and asked him if I could make one for him (it was a few months ago but than I started something else and decided to wait), he said it was ok, so I asked him if I could also use that picture and he said it was fine (I showed him the picture in a message). There is where Carlo's involvement with this project ends. I don't know much about copyright policy on wikipedia but that is one of his own pictures no (copyrighted material, I asked him then) so to make it easy I said it was mine. Maybe I could ask him to tell that it's his but I am not sure he would care enough to learn how to do it. If this makes me involved with Carlo than anyone who has Facebook is involved because as far as I can see he usually answers to messages, may be not in the same day but he answers (note: he didn't even accept my friend request on facebook). I am not sure why you can't simply judge the bio I wrote instead of making investigations. At this point I start wondering what is the real problem because I read the most random reasons to fail this bio: lack of notoriety, bad sourcing and now this. The bio is far from being promotional, I have avoided any adjectives: a much relevant book, an important tv channel, he grew of popularity, most important, etc these are all kind of things you can't find on the bio I wrote. Still, if you feel I have been too much complimentary or that the way I reported the fact lacks of objectivity please point out what you think needs to be changed and I will. That will make the bio better and help me to understand how a bio should be written here on wikipedia. I hope this fully clarify the situation. --[[User:AlejandroLeloirRey|AlejandroLeloirRey]] ([[User talk:AlejandroLeloirRey#top|talk]]) 01:15, 17 April 2020 (UTC) |

@DGG: Hallo, I made some changes. I deleted everything that could sound "celebrative". Speaking of the relevance of Carlo Masi as a porn star, as is written in the Bio, he has been one of the most important COLT Man ever, indeed he is the only one called "Emeritus" as an honor(see the bio). Plus, he is relevant also outside porn for this combination of porn and academic career. It would be very helpful to me if you could tell me a gay porn star bio on wikipedia that you judge a good bio so I can get "inspiration". i would appreciate if you could give me more advise on how improve the bio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlejandroLeloirRey (talk • contribs) 10:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

@QueerEcofeminist: hallo, I am very surprised for your rejection. Can I ask you what it is based on so that in the future I don't waist time on writing not relevant pages? I gave a look to the other gay porn stars on wikipedia and most of them are way less relevant than Carlo Masi, who was the most important model at colt studio for almost a decade, who has his biography written by a Strega Prize (walter siti, 2013) and whose story has been told by the most important news paper, magazines and web sites from all around the world. recently I was told that the biography, the way it was written, sounded too much celebrative so I decided to delete most of these things. Moreover, isn't there a unique standard for all the wikipedia in the different languages? his biography is in other wikipedia also (Spanish, Italian, French, Polish). Thank you for the help. ps. adding info or changing something could make any difference or this is a final decision on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlejandroLeloirRey (talk • contribs) 11:58, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion advice
Hi Alejandro, I have a suggestion for you about the Carlo Masi deletion discussion. I voted to keep — I think that you've made a good case for the sources, and more people will vote keep. My advice is: don't post on that page for a little while. You shouldn't respond to everyone who votes to delete. Check out this essay -- WP:BLUDGEON. If you post too much, it makes you look like you're not confident in your argument. The strong argument will convince people on its own. You don't have to repeat it. You just have to be patient, and give people time to look at the page and vote keep.
I hope that this is helpful. Let me know if I can help with something. Thank you. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: gosh, being patient is definitely not my thing but I can see your point and I will follow your advise. thank you very much for supporting. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 00:12, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Excellent, I'm glad I can help. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 00:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: Can I complain here with you about the "delete" messages I get just to vent? not offending anybody --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 08:48, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, you can. It can be very frustrating. -- Toughpigs (talk) 14:15, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: isn't it a clear conflict the fact that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Johnpacklambert votes? I mean, on his page he says that he is a member of Latter Day Saint movement... and he gives the same opinion about any porn actor considered for deletion. how many chances there are that a member of Latter Day Saint movement would know how much notable Carlo was a gay porn actor? thank you :-) --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- I can assure you that a user's beliefs will have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the final admins decision making process, the article will be judged on policy and guidelines. Theroadislong (talk) 14:39, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Theroadislong: well, the opinion of a ultra religious person about gay pornography is quite obvious, especially if you consider that he has posted the same opinion on every porn actor up for deletion. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:50, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Johnpacklambert actually votes delete on pretty much everything. :) He is well-known for posting the same three to four words on many deletion discussions every day: "a non-notable tennis player", "a non-notable actress", etc. It's not a real argument, just a vote, which doesn't count as much. But -- this is very important -- you should not look at other people's user pages and try to argue that they're biased based on their personal characteristics. It's considered a personal attack -- see WP:NPA. You can actually get in trouble for doing that, and it won't help.
- I understand how hard and frustrating this can be, to have people criticizing your work. Sometimes it feels like you're being attacked, and you want to fight back. :) But I see that someone else has just voted keep in the discussion. If you're patient and you don't post on that page anymore, other people will come and vote keep. It will be okay. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

- Excellent, I'm glad I can help. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 00:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: you are right, sometime is hard. Not much for being criticized but more because the critics seems to be pretty random. When I read that the subject is not notable and than I read that to be notable you need to have a wide coverage and I see Carlo's name on national newspapers, books, magazines and tv shows from all around the world I can only wonder what the f.
- I can't see generally why one can't tell a member of the KKK to be opinionated in a discussing of racial problems. once again, if you say don't do it, than i will not do it :-) thank you for the advises.--AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 08:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: hi, I think I have improved quite much the sourcing of his porn career and from the deletion discussion it seems that some are concerned with his notability apart from the porn actor-professor story. is there the need to let people know in the discussion that the has been improved? if yes, how should I do it? thank you--AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 19:26, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- The people who have voted so far have made up their minds, so don't worry about them. The people who matter now are the new people seeing the discussion for the first time. They'll look at the article, see the improved sources, and make their own decision. So the work you're doing on the article is very helpful — as you improve the article, there will be more people willing to support it.
- But if you post "I have new sources" in the deletion discussion, one of the people who's already voted delete will probably write another two paragraphs explaining why your new sources aren't good, either. Once people start saying that, they usually keep saying it, no matter what the new sources say. So posting more in the discussion is just going to give them another opportunity to say that it should be deleted. It's a hard thing to do — staying quiet when you know that you're working really hard, and people are saying mean things. But that's what you have to do, if you want to be successful. :) Just focus on improving the article. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Toughpigs: Something that confuses me: Now I have a ridiculous number of source for this bio, can you give them a look and let me know if they are too many? plus, I have used sources of which i am not 100% sure would be judged as reliable. is it better to use one extra source even if you are not sure what is the community opinion about that source or better not to use it? please notice that I didn't use any blog, social or other stuff that is obviously unreliable but only lately I found out that stuff like daily mail is considered a very bad source. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 20:33, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- See WP:REFBOMB for more advice, but generally I agree with the excellent advice above "Just focus on improving the article" Theroadislong (talk) 20:50, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Theroadislong: I will read it right away, just to be clear each source I have uploaded is perfectly pertinent. I spent a lot of energy to put the articles in the best spot and they are either articles entirely on the subject or entirely about the event mentioned in the line where the citation occurs. the problem is also that from some guidelines it seems that a porn star has to be as famous as an Hollywood (good) actor which obviously doesn't apply to any porn star ever. I am fine with that but this would simply mean that we need to delete any porn star profile on wikipedia. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 21:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Leave it alone. It's okay. Someone else just came and voted keep. If you leave it the way it is and just be patient, there's a good chance the article will be kept. If you can't be patient and you keep pushing, then you will make it more likely to be deleted. The #1 Best Thing for you to do is to go and think about something else for a while. You need to be able to let some days pass without working on it or talking about it. It will still be here two days from now. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlo Masi—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
@Materialscientist: I am sorry, I am trying to follow the rules. I read that I shouldn't change the flow of the conversation and I know I shouldn't answer every single person. I was unsure if it was ok to add something to my previous post. now I know and I will no do that again. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 08:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
For your edits on Sagat, I strongly agree that an article can be improved by strongly pruning inappropriate content. David notMD (talk) 00:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @David notMD: thank you, I think I did a fair job. Sagat bio has the right to be here but it really looked like more as an advertisement for him. things have changed a lot in wikipedia so there are plenty of bios online today which would deserve a speedy deletion (not Sagat's) but they get away only because they are already online. nevertheless some of theme can be saved but they need restructuring. on Sagat bio there are still a lot of statements with no sourcing or with very poor sourcing and generally it doesn't have one source that covers a big part of the subject. basically he has 2-3 articles on good new papers about specific events and that is it. I still don't know what do with his "role on Saw VI", I know very well that movie and he was on screen for a split of a second, no lines and among other people and as a metter of fact no sourcing at all about him bragging for it. still, he was there and I would like to leave some trace of it, not sure how. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 08:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Consider WP:FANCRUFT. Content can be true, and referenced, yet too much detail. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to resemble resumes that list everything a person has done. I suppose movie appearances could be changed to significant movie appearances, and the list shortened. David notMD (talk) 10:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

@Serols: hi, I am sorry, didn't intend to be a vandal but in my opinion there is a difference between the things one should report here, the things one should report on his CV and the things that one should report in an interview. this bio is packed with adjective ad also irrelevant info are reported (he was a bar tender). I will ask some opinion of how to proceed in the teahouse unless you want to help me--AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 16:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hello AlejandroLeloirRey, too celebrative, this is not an advertisement -> for me that was not a sufficient reason to delete sections. Your subsequent edits and comments were ok. My warning was too hard, so I deleted it. Regards --Serols (talk) 16:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Carlo Masi, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 21:30, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Materialscientist: hallo, Carlo's bio is a page I created just a few days ago and now is through a deletion process so I am trying hard to improve it. what I find most difficult is to evaluate each source and decide if they will be considered reliable. when I saw the new template for unreliable sources I thought of deleting those I was not sure of and that were also redundant as there were already other better sources. Should I live it the way it is? thank you for your advises. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Usedtobecool: @Materialscientist: I am trying hard but to me is very hard to judge some sources. it seems also not to be agreement among experienced members here so i would be happy to receive and any bit of advice. if you spot some source that you judge unreliable please le me know. as you can see most of the sources are redundant so I can simply delete some. thank you --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 21:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- AlejandroLeloirRey, Materialscientist caught your edit because you did not use an edit summary; please use edit summaries to explain your edits so it does not happen again. I am staying far from the article contentwise, for now, since I am one of those people who does not know Italian. I see that a few of the editors to the AFD have voted to Keep, so there's a chance the afd could go your way. Good luck! Usedtobecool ☎️ 21:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Usedtobecool: it is very fair of you to don't give an opinion if you don't speak the language, I totally see you point. Nevertheless, if you ever spot any unreliable/doubtful source(many are in english) I would really appreciate if you share your judgment with me. thank you --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 22:00, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Query
Not sure if anyone has actually asked you straight out- Do you have a conflict of interest with Carlo Masi? Please read WP:COI - note you don't necessarily have to be being paid to have one. If so, you really must declare it. I"m asking because you just added a photograph of Carlo Masi at his wedding, which you declared to be your own work. This would mean you attended that wedding.

@Curdle: I am preparing to get a C1 certificate (don't laugh, lol) so I am more than happy to practice my english, I have known carlo masi's name for ages, like many others. I like him and his story very much and I read siti's book. I am locked up in my apartment therefore I have much spare time in my hands and this is a perfect situation to get a fixation with something. I found that picture of Carlo on the web, there are plenty (probably it was on his facebook but I am not sure), I send him a Facebook message telling him I noticed that he didn't have an english bio on wikipedia and asked him if I could make one for him (it was a few months ago but than I started something else and decided to wait), he said it was ok, so I asked him if I could also use that picture and he said it was fine (I showed him the picture in a message). There is where Carlo's involvement with this project ends. I don't know much about copyright policy on wikipedia but that is one of his own pictures no (copyrighted material, I asked him then) so to make it easy I said it was mine. Maybe I could ask him to tell that it's his but I am not sure he would care enough to learn how to do it. If this makes me involved with Carlo than anyone who has Facebook is involved because as far as I can see he usually answers to messages, may be not in the same day but he answers (note: he didn't even accept my friend request on facebook). I am not sure why you can't simply judge the bio I wrote instead of making investigations. At this point I start wondering what is the real problem because I read the most random reasons to fail this bio: lack of notoriety, bad sourcing and now this. The bio is far from being promotional, I have avoided any adjectives: a much relevant book, an important tv channel, he grew of popularity, most important, etc these are all kind of things you can't find on the bio I wrote. Still, if you feel I have been too much complimentary or that the way I reported the fact lacks of objectivity please point out what you think needs to be changed and I will. That will make the bio better and help me to understand how a bio should be written here on wikipedia. I hope this fully clarify the situation. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 01:15, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
