 * My sincere apologies; this was not appropriate; thank you for writing me. My only excuse is that 99% of changes to the article are vandalism; it is a prime target of kids putting their friends' (?) names on the list for kicks, or people blanking the page; at the same that you posted, someone added the name of a person with a legitimate article here on Wikipedia that is in no way gay. These things tend to happen by people who have created new accounts with their edits being their only contribution. That was the case with your account and I leapt to an erroneous conclusion.
 * I've added some standard information below that helps newcomers get started; please take the time to read the articles at the links. The Tutorial is particularly helpful.
 * For some help in specifically writing an article on a porn performer, take a look at Notability (pornographic actors). A well-sourced article would be Mark Dalton (porn star) (OK, yes, I worked extensively on it; that doesn't invalidate it as an example ). For an incredible article on a porn performer that's well on its way to becoming one of the Featured articles, see Jenna Jameson.
 * I've pasted the text you previously entered below (I know what it's like to completely lose my work). I've added an edited version with some comments below it; my edits aren't infalliable but hopefully will steer you in the right direction.
 * Arpad Miklos was born in Budapest Hungary in 1966. His masculine good looks and sizeable cock have made him one of the most visible actors in gay porn today. He has to date appeared in over 50 films for studios including Raging Stallion and Lucas Entertainment. He resides in NYC but travels frequently to LA.
 * Intellegent and charismatic, Arpad is available as an escort.
 * Comments It's best to avoid adjectives that can't be sourced from other information. If the adjectives were used in an article by another author, it's sometimes appopriate to quote them, but as an editor here, we shouldn't be making "value judgemnets"—see Neutral point of view, one of the Five pillars mentioned below. Also read the article and see if including the adjectives really enhances the story or just makes it sound like a "promotion". I've added "tags" in places where it's critical to quote sources of information; all information should be well-sourced, but it is particularly important to do so when writing about a living person.
 * I've moved my edited version of this text to a draft article on Miklos along with some references to awards that he's won (one of the criteria of Wikiepdia:Notabliity (pornographic actors). You can find the article at Arpad Miklos.
 * I know all of this can be overwhelming at first; stick around and watch what others do to write articles and improve them. Your contributions are certainly welcome.
 * Again, please accept my apologies. Don't hesitate to contact me again if you need to. You can just leave a message on my talk page; you're also welcome to send e-mail again.
