Cite your sources

CITE YOUR SOURCES - it is as simple as that.--Jimbo Wales 22:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear

WP:OFFICE is lifted on this page. Edit to your hearts content. I think it is very wise to be very cautious about supposing things about Mr. Barresi that are not _directly_ in evidence from _reliable_ sources. That he was involved in the porn industry is not disputed. That he is bisexual or personally performed in 'gay porn' I have no clue, haven't looked in imdb or whatever. If there are elements of his career in his press bio that we previously failed to mention, but which can be verified by third party sources, we should add those.

I want to emphasize a few things: Mr. Barresi has been courteous throughout this, made no legal threats against Wikipedia, and seems genuinely interested in having a high quality and neutral article about himself in the encyclopedia.--Jimbo Wales 17:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am unclear about what is disputed, but Mr. Barresi informs me that IMDB contains some significant errors. I'm trying to determine the details, but in the meantime, let's work with the other material first?--Jimbo Wales 00:12, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's quite possible. IMDb bios are of varying quality, occasionally amounting to little more than trivia and/or gossip. In this case, IMDb was the only source that listed a DOB. If this is indeed in dispute, I'll remove the DOB and restore the remaining stub info. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 01:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear

The article is only semi-protected, and I hope very much that someone will get excited about the article and bring it up to snuff. It used to be full of unsourced stuff or badly sourced stuff, and now it is sad and lonely and empty. --Jimbo Wales 04:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A note to editors

Editors who wish to make changes to this article: Please review the archive of this talk page for some of the ongoing WP:BLP issues, as well as actions of now-banned editors previously involved in disputes about this article. Jokestress (talk) 15:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Involvement with Pellicano on hold

Article has been updated slightly but certainly can be elaborated on. Barresi can no longer be involved with Pellicano as in Dec 2008 Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in Prison.

Further 2008 updates for this article could include Barresi's comments about a popular actor in entertainment magazines such as In Touch. Helena Churchill (talk) 22:20, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this article might not be up to date. One area where there is some question is where Barresi is helping the Bertram Fields' defense & investigation. I was not able to find a source as to if Fields is still under investigation. However, since Pellicano's case is now closed, it is likely that Fields is not under any scrutiny either. There probably needs to be some closure on this matter reflected in this article. There are a few other comments in this article with a tail end which dates back two or more years and an update is needed. 76.167.73.93 (talk) 04:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bisexual

Paul Barresi is bisexual, why is there no mention of this in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.234.145 (talk) 12:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Bisexual because no supporting evidence like citable quotations. Speculation needs to be on a gossip blog not an encyclopedia. I personally do not believe Barressi is bisexual though. 76.167.73.93 (talk) 08:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read that Barresi is bisexual here. http://www.bimagazine.org/index.php?id=61

He's not heterosexual or gay since he apparently did have sex with John Travolta and if you have seen any of his porns he's had sex with both men and women both on and off camera in the case with Travolta.

Money in itself will not be a factor in a heterosexual guy having gay sex...He is gay or Bisexual and using the terms "straight" or heterosexual to hide his true feelings.72.78.105.71 (talk) 18:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Minor but Important detail

Just going over the sources cited and made minor change to Pellicano section to make it conform better with cited source. Matt Latona (talk) 00:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)A cowgirl (talk) 01:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bertram Fields & Anthony Pellicano

The ENTIRE Pellicano section is extremely outdated! Particularly worthy of an update is the fact the Attorney Bertram Fields' investigation was back in 2006!!! Surely there has been some sort of outcome by now, especially considering that Pellicano's lengthy prison sentence started some two and a half years ago.
