replies: text: He says he considers himself an Italian-American.  I don't know what his birth details are - his Italian name came from his adoptive parents, not his birth parents.  wknight94 23:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any proof this actor is Italian-American? He was born in Bogota and raised by adoptive parents.

replies: text: Sure.  The U.S. census relies on self-identified race data, for example.  If he calls himself Italian-American, especially considering that the people who raised him from infancy are of Italian descent, then Itialian-American he is.  --Nelson Ricardo 21:31, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Millions of "Jews" self-identify even though they have ancestry from different parts of the world. Why can't Lilo?--173.60.151.243 (talk) 03:03, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Judaism is a religion that anyone can join. You can change your religion. The Category is "American people of Italian descent". Self-identifying as Italian does not change your ancestors into Italians. (I changed my view from my previous comment five years ago)MrBlondNYC (talk) 18:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Italian American?

message: Not sure I agree with removing :Category:Colombian actors.  He was born in Colombia and I assume his biological parents were Colombian.  If those are true, why is he excluded from all Colombian categories?  Even though he was brought to America and raised by Italian-American adoptive parents, he's still 100% Colombian.  wknight94 19:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This actor has been arrested and awaits charges, and then possibly a trial. Hi saga will last a year or more ... I hardly think he's no longer a current event.

replies: text: Current?  Yes.  Needs the  tag?  I definitely vote no.  There are plenty of cases of people in the news that don't have the little  tag.  I assume the only reason for that tag is because the news is happening so fast that this article could easily get out of date but I haven't heard any article-worthy news on this guy since the day after he was arrested.  Not to mention that people aren't exactly clamoring for news on this guy anyway — I think most, like me, would say they don't even know who he is.  In general, you don't keep that tag in an article for a year or more.  The Iraq War doesn't have that tag and I hear important news on it every day.  wknight94 23:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Definitely still current

message: Why delete (rather than modify if need be) my addition of the name by which the movie is known outside the USA?   Believe it or not, there are actually internet users who need non-American information and therefore the list is not complete, or at best misleading, for the many millions of us in other countries.
=Because as soon as the international user clicks on "Renaissance Man," the first line of that's film's entry states its non-US aliases. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. IMDB is the definitive source for an actor's filmography, and that is linked just below, as well. BabuBhatt 23:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
