Talk:Luchino Visconti

message: from the article
'Notoriously gay, Visconti always preferred to have good-looking leading men, and one of his favorites was Austrian actor Helmut Berger, who played Martin in “The Damned”.'
what exactly does notoriously gay mean. the german article states that visconti never made a big deal out of his homosexuality.
also berger was not just 'one of his favourites' but had a relationship with visconti.

message: I think it should be mentioned that Visconti took part in the resistence against nazi-fascism and was close to the Italian communist party. See this Italian page: http://www.luchinovisconti.net/visconti_pg/visconti_vita.htm  Plch 22:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political involvment 

message: Two links were removed. WHY?  Both authors are reputable authorities in their field, so I see no reason to remove these essay links.
I shall replace them, and request that the edtir who removed them justify his position HERE. Viva-Verdi 01:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The user was mass spamming links into articles. There was a discussion here. In the discussion, a mention was made of guidelines about Criterion links. You might find more there.  IrishGuy talk 03:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: The links were removed because they were spammed to wikipedia (see special:contributions/Myrmidon3).  That resulted in all additions being reverted, even if some may have been appropriate.  There has already been a discussion earlier about these links on the film wikiproject, and there is argued that while these links can very well be used as references, they are often not very appropriate as plain external links (also per WP:EL 'If the site or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source first.').  Here, and on several other pages where the link is still on wikipedia, the links are to movies by the director in question.  Hence, these links may be appropriate on the pages about the movie (but better as references), but not on the directors page.  Hope this explains.  Have a nice day.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point about the links being appropriate to the specific movies rather than the general article on the director, unless they put a specific film in a broader context.  As noted, ideally the body of the text should refer to the article, maybe quote from it, etc and use the reference to suport the statement. Viva-Verdi 16:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why the removal of links to Criterion essays on Visconti's film? 

message: Several sources , such as the Italian Wiki state that he was "Don Luchino Visconti di Modrone, Conte di Lonate Pozzolo". A count not a duke like his father. What is right?

thread_title:  The right title 

message: A wiki search for Visconti leads only to a disambiguation page for Giovanni Visconti, no Luchino, though he can be found by the links from his films. I'm new here and dont have time to work out how to fix this. Bruffik (talk) 12:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it so that any search for Visconti brings up all of them. Viva-Verdi (talk) 19:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor links to Visconti within Wikipedia 

message: I think the article would be well served if we would include some referenced info regarding how his works were received, and how he dealt with the reception.--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 19:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Great idea. Go ahead and add some.  I can add some opera reviews, especially "Don Carlos". However, there is proably no need for complete reviews, but extracts from them would be useful, referenced below. Viva-Verdi (talk) 23:11, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
