Shortcut

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to porn stars/erotic actors. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Scope

The project aims to implement a consistent format for articles of pornographic actors, actresses and models, as well as related infobox templates.

Additionally, the project is to implement a standard means of procuring information on pornographic actresses, as well as to address what is proper for an encyclopedic article on porn stars.

Parentage

The parents of this WikiProject are WikiProject Biography and Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and Sexuality.

Participants

Structure

  1. Create a new page. (See m:Help:Starting a new page for details.)
  2. Create an outline for the biography article you started:
  3. Find a picture and upload. Image must be fair use or promotional in nature. Images should have a known source and the source should be credited on the "Image:" article page. See also: Wikipedia:Images, Wikipedia:Image use policy.
    • Also note that images should not be explicit in nature. Pictures with the genitals, bust, or buttocks of the person exposed should not be posted, nor should there be pictures posted of the person engaging in sex acts. Pictures should not include the person covered in any bodily fluids, including semen. The point of a picture is to put a face to a name -- if people want pictures of the person, there is always Google search.
      • The reason for this is to avoid any legal entanglements due to the 18 U.S.C. 2257. We are here to create an encyclopedia, not a porn farm.

Photographs: Free use vs. Fair Use

It is Wikipedia policy to prefer free use, copyleft photographs over fair use due to the fact that copylefted photos can be used on other Wikipedia projects. As a result, the following section illustrates how to procure photographs that can be used in Wikipedia's articles.

Copyleft (Creative Commons/GFDL)

The following sources have permitted usage of their photos on Wikipedia, under a copyleft license:

  • Luke Ford photos
    • Photos on Lukeisback.com are licensed under the Creative Commons 2.5 Attribution license.
    • Photos previously on Lukeford.com, up until August 8, 2001, are also licensed under CC 2.5 Attribution.
      • See here for background on how Luke Ford gave his consent.

Please upload any images that are Creative Commons or GFDL on the Wikimedia Commons. By doing so you allow these images to be used on other language editions of Wikipedia.

Acceptable sources of fair use photos

The following may be used in a manner consistent with the fair use guidelines on Wikipedia.

  • Promotional photos. Promotional photos are typically ones found on other websites that promote the person in question. Obviously, choose one that is appropriately clothed and note its source (i.e. provide the URL). Tag those photos with {{promophoto}}
  • {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} Tag used for an author to release their work into the public domain, disclaiming any copyright.
  • {{GFDL}} - GNU Free Documentation License
  • Fair Use, see Wikipedia:Image description page for rationale for fair use.
  • Covers (such as magazine and video box covers) can only be used if giving critical commentary to the movie itself, and not the performer.

For additional tags not listed here, refer to Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.

To do

Images

Images available from Lukeisback.com can be used in a pornographic performer's article. Here are some tools to help out:

  • Google image search
    • Click "image" search.
    • Use the parameters: NAME_OF_ACTOR site:www.lukeisback.com
  • Once you have located an appropriate picture, note the following:
    • URL of the page that links the image in question.
    • Date the image was taken. If the date isn't written on the page itself, Luke Ford typically formats his pages in this format:
  • Once you've saved the picture, you may have to crop it or enhance the image. Do note that enhancing the image is creating a derivative work, and therefore is still owned by Luke Ford despite any edits done to the image(s) in question.
  • Once your done, upload all images to the Wikimedia Commons under the Creative Commons Attribution license, version 2.5. When uploading, please select a human-readable file name for the image. (For instance, an image on Alicia Alighatti should be called Alicia Alighatti.jpg not DSC 1028.jpg.) Also remember to place the image in the applicable categories, such as Category:Porn stars and Category:Luke Ford photos.
  • If you encounter any issues, please feel free to leave a message on this project's talk page.

Also, any articles that are pornography stubs or Pornographic actor stubs need your help as well!

  • The Golden Age of Porn 1974 to 1984 (dvd dealers say "to 1989", real "love stories" with a script, filmed on expensive celluloid - not on cheap video) [4] , "In the old stuff, the models look like regular people. Now it's all clones," [5], [6] .

Do not use template substitution on these infoboxes:


Templates

Use template substitution for the following:

Filmographies

While it can be useful to have some indication what films the performer has been in, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Any filmographies should be partial, not a complete listing of each and every film that person appeared in. Filmographies are to be limited to six films at most; any additional listings above that number must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  1. Performer's first movie.
  2. Movies that have garnered awards (for the entire movie, or the performer's work in the movie).
  3. Movies that the performer has been in that have received mainstream news attention - e.g., films such as Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door.
  4. Movies that themselves have individual entries in the Wikipedia.
  5. Performer's last movie (of their career, not their latest film).

The following sources can be helpful for finding information about erotic performers.

Lists

When adding an article, please add the entry to one or more of the following lists -- as appropriate!

Categories

For porn-specific lists

For ethnicity

For nationality

For sexual orientation

For dating (birth and death)

Note: Categories should be inserted into the article in the following format, with XXXX being the 4-digit year.

  • For birth: [[Category: XXXX births]]
  • For death: [[Category: XXXX deaths]]
