My Plea
Hello there!

First off, thank you to those of you who have tried to be helpful as I find my way along the "Wiki-Path." I do appreciate your assistance.

I feel that I need to make something clear. Those of you who moderate (or whatever the more appropriate term might be) seem to be under the impression that I am trying to force my "P.O.V." about Jewell Marceau (and others) upon the readers of Wikipedia. This is definitely NOT the case! What IS true is that Jewell is unsure how to go about making changes to her profile herself and has asked for my help. She was extremely distressed to find that the year of her birth, her hometown, and her birth name had been posted here and she asked me if I could please try to fix what she considered to be a major problem. She understands that her recent legal issues have indeed already caused her legal name to be made available to the public (should they go looking for it), but her feeling is that the average Internet surfer would be far less likely to stumble across an article about her court case than they would by deliberately looking her up on Wikipedia.

We in the adult industry certainly understand that "civilians" have very little knowledge of how frightening it can be to become "famous" simply for performing in adult movies. We deal with stalkers, cyberstalkers and...erm...overly-ardent fans on a daily basis. Whenever our legal names and/or hometowns are published somewhere, people with less-than-kind intentions practically jump to find our families and share whatever they (think they) know about us. I know so many women and men who have suffered greatly because of this and have also experienced it myself. (Yes, right. We made the choice to join this industry and we should be prepared for the consequences. Of course it's more complicated than that.)

Many adult models really dislike Wikipedia because literally anyone with a grudge, a bad attitude, or just a cruel streak can come on here and say anything they want. I cannot even begin to tell you how many blatant -- even ridiculous inaccuracies I have found in the pages of Wikipedia...but I have only made changes when the involved party has asked for my help. One model/producer (who is quite computer-literate and did not ask for my help) was shocked to see that whoever had set up "her" Wiki page had done so with an utterly laughable amount of error in both grammar and spelling. Models I know usually try to divert attention away from "their" Wikipedia profiles because they never know what will show up on there next.

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say and I'm sorry to have droned on so long. Please know that I definitely DO NOT want to get into any kind of a battle with ANYONE over information posted here. Wikipedia has such great potential as a source of useful and entertaining information. I just want to help/protect my friends whenever I can.

Most Sincerely, Darla Crane

Editing of Talk Page
Darla, it is considered vandalism to delete content even from your Talk page unless that content is an attack or violates copyright. If the talk page becomes sufficiently long, there is a process to archive old content. I have reverted this page to include both the old content and your new content. Based on the appearance of the new content, it may be appropriate for you to move the My Plea subsection in its entirety to your user page. That page is entirely under your pervue and can be edited and changed as you so desire. Enjoy. Let me know if you need any assistance in this or any future matter. Kershner 20:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Darlacrane.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Darlacrane.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 15:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Darla Crane
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Darla Crane, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, Darla Crane appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Darla Crane has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) and CC-BY-SA, under CC-BY-SA, or released into the public domain leave a note at with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I just wanted to add to the above that while evidence suggests that you likely are Darla Crane and hence your use of your own text is no copyright violation, we do need verification of this to make use of your material, since it is published elsewhere. We have no means of identifying individuals on account creation, so our processes for verifying this require either modifying the original page of publication or sending a letter from an identifiable address acknowledging the licensing of the text to the Foundation. The procedures for both of these are set out at Donating copyrighted material.


 * I also want to point out while I'm here that this page has been nominated for deletion through a community deletion debate. The nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Darla Crane and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).


 * You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns, but you should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Given your statements above, I rather suspect you would not object to deletion of the article.


 * If you have questions about this, you're welcome to come by my talk page. Alternatively, we have a help desk. You can even ask your question right here at your talk page and bring a volunteer to respond by placing help me (brackets and all) next to it.


 * Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
