Talk:Warren Cuccurullo

message: :: The section of this bio "recent activities" is heavily peppered with a POV, praising his skill etc... It formerly was phrased to be far more factual and blunt about Cuccurullo's foray into pornography, which despite his musical fan's denial, has been his biggest claim to fame in the past four years. (Note the phrasing of the "rock rod" as an "adult toy" when it was, in fact, a dildo replication of his own penis.) This needs to be revised to be factual and non NPOV.

replies: text: It's funny how someone edited in that his work was all heterosexual. Except for the fact that he appeared nude in a gay magazine. Except for the fact that he filmed a video of himself pleasuring himself anally with a dildo. Except for the fact that in an interview he admitted to orally servicing other men. Except for....   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.93.65.83 (talk) 02:12, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The new additions are work in progress, and the editor in question is a WC expert and new to Wikipedia -- give it a little time and we'll smooth out the point-of-view issues.  Catherine\talk 17:54, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: NPOV

message: Cyndi, are there any photos Warren would be willing to let us use here - perhaps one from the early days of his career, and one recent one?  We can use press release photos under fair use, but we would much prefer to have something available under a free license like GFDL or Creative Commons, so that people that wish to re-use our content can do so without copyright issues.  See Wikipedia:Example requests for permission and Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#For_image_creators for some important issues you'd need to explain to him.   Thanks! — Catherine\talk 20:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Photo?

message: I added in some family information to clarify things for fans who aren't clear on his girlfriend & son and whether he's married, etc. The Missing Persons section has been redone a bit as well since I rewrote the same information a few days ago on the Missing Persons entry. Also, since someone added information about the vegan/spiritual issues and the fan followings, I edited & clarified some of that.  ;)    -- CucFan, 9-28-06.
In the lyrics of the song "Catholic Girls" by Frank Zappa, his name is mentioned in the female 
dialogue who says "Warren Cuccarullo, kinda young, kinda wild." Perhaps this is what gave him "Cult status"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.150.48 (talk) 20:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Today's edits 

message: I don't know how to change pictures -- shouldn't this be a more current photo? I believe the one displayed is from 1993.  -- CucFan 9-29-06.
:We need to find an image that fits Wikipedia's licensing requirements -- please read Wikipedia:Image use policy, as this is a really important policy if you want to work with photos here.  We can't use pictures scanned from other publications, since they're under copyright.  Screenshots are dubious; the current picture of Warren is used under a somewhat shaky "fair use" rationale.  Photos released in a press kit would give us a better fair use claim.  But ideally, we would like to have a photo that the copyright owner (either Warren or the person who took the photograph) is willing to make free for Wikipedia and others to copy and use, either by giving it a free license (we prefer GFDL or Creative Commons licenses), or by releasing it into the public domain.  You can see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission and Wikipedia:Example requests for permission for an explanation of some of the important issues here.   If you can help us get permissions for a better photo, that'd be great!  Just ask me for more guidance if you need it -- image use here can be pretty tricky.
:By the way, you can sign your posts easily by typing four tildes, like this: "~~~~"  Thanks for all the work you're putting in here!  — Catherine\talk 20:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it would be nice to include the name of the guitar he used on most of Spring Session M and nearly all Missing Persons music videos, what was its name? Skraelinger 13:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The added information to the Solo and collaborative work section was drawn from a Modern Drummer web update that appeared online in late September 2010. The collaboration is a fact. The edit was sourced from a reputable third party source, and I referenced the source properly. It is apparent that Modern Drummer revises the information in their online news column without revising the URL for the column. The information is not available currently from that URL. I have talked to an administrator, and I am in the process of adding an additional third party reference to support the information I posted. I will also contact Modern Drummer to see if they can provide me with another link to the information they published in late September. I have also found an additional source to support the existence of the collaboration. As immediate proof of the collaboration's existence, their web site is: www.alexandrakiscuccurulloferroneresta.com (redirects to their facebook page). The edit that I made is not an unsubstantiated vanity claim by a fan, nor is it vandalism or a hoax. Thank you for the alert concerning the information not being currently available from that URL. I removed the director to the web site from my reference annotations on both the Steve Ferrone page and this page as a temporary measure to solve the issue so that others will not be confused.
