Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Luca Bracali has been reverted. Your edit here to Luca Bracali was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkIhi8QOL0Y, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fk6LMFalzM, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=makd_8bowv4, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s_QZjuin68, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsAVlivdg-k, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YkuzM5muzQ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO8WLcxzjCw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqphD81AyS0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94ImPXBYJHA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5R8JgjjCwQ) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:11, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello ManuelBertolucci. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Luca Bracali, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:ManuelBertolucci. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:09, 23 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm a friend of Luca Bracali and I'm doing that with no compensation, I'm doing that for free just to update his page with the activities he does during the year. If I've to update my profile in any other way to say that, just let me know.

Can I ask you some advice about the page? I don't understand what I've to do to remove the notices in top of the page. Can you help me? ManuelBertolucci (talk) 10:29, 9 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply. To notify an editor, you muse use a notification template such as ping and sign your post all in the same edit, see Help:Talk pages. That's why I didn't notice your question until now. As a friend of Luca Bracali, you have a conflict of interest with the topic, and should not edit the article.
 * The cleanup template about the misuse of external links has been resolved by MrOllie's removal of content that is inappropriate for an encyclopedia biography, so I have removed that template. The other template has to do with the quantity and especially the extremely low quality of the inline citations. Referencing "National Geographic", for example, is almost meaningless. It's a magazine, with multiple language editions, a website, and multiple TV channels. Without full bibliographic information (author, date, url, volume, issue, page, etc.) the citation does not allow the reader to verify the source. You may post any further information you have about the sources on the article's talk page, Talk:Luca Bracali. Uninvolved editors will use it to improve the article. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm trying to remove the notice about sourcing lack in Luca Bracali's page, but you restored the edit saying "The sourcing remains incomplete" what do you mean? Whhich sources are missing? the article is almost empty atm. Can you please help me to understand what you need to remove the notice?

--ManuelBertolucci (talk) 18:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Almost every statement about Bracali needs an inline citation to a source that directly supports the statement. For example, the article says, "Luca Bracali (Pistoia, 12 April 1965) ..." What source says he was born in Pistoia on 12 April 1965? Where sources are cited in the 4th paragraph of the biography section, they are described so vaguely ("Easy Driver, Rai 1 television program", "National Geographic", "Minor Planet Center") that they are useless. As I explained above, full bibliographic information (author, date, url, volume, issue, page, etc.) is needed. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
