Hello RinaCentofanti. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged 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:RinaCentofanti. 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, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 11:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I am just a fan of this actor. I do not know him personally.  No financial gain in doing this. RinaCentofanti (talk) 11:45, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks; often a fan makes the same mistakes as someone directly associated with a topic. Please see the advice I left with the draft- there are many unsourced claims as well- every substantive fact about a living person needs to be sourced, see the Biographies of Living persons policy.  IMDB is not an acceptable source on Wikipedia as it is user-editable.  Any article about him should summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about him; please read Your First Article.
 * It is usually recommended that instead of diving right in to article creation- the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia- that new users first gain experience and knowledge by first editing existing articles in areas that interest them, as well as using the new user tutorial. 331dot (talk) 12:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I got most of the information from his personal website and his resume. So why would be wrong.   I was going to write him to see if everything on there was correct.  Its was too hard in Draft mode to add things.  Its easier once the page is up. RinaCentofanti (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Editing in draft shouldn't be much different than editing it as an actual article.
 * Wikipedia wants to know what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose to say about him, not what his resume and website say. If you intend to communicate with him about your efforts here, you should declare a conflict of interest(click for instructions); articles are typically written without any involvement from, or even the knowledge of, the subject. 331dot (talk) 22:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I found information on IMBd to back up the details
 * Okay if its the same in draft mode, how do i add his photo and films etc RinaCentofanti (talk) 23:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * IMDB is not an acceptable source as it is user-editable. Please read more about what reliable sources are, as well as Your First Article.
 * Photos are not relevant to the draft process, which only considers the text and sources. You don't yet need to worry about photos. You may just write his body of work, as films have credits to look at that confirm who worked on the film. That's less important than being able to summarize what independent sources say is notable about him and how he meets the definition of a notable actor or more broadly a notable person. 331dot (talk) 23:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
