I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, particularly negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.

I couldn't stop laughing at some edits. This man has made at least one very loyal enemy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.251.56 (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added Legal History

Included legal history of arrest for rape allegation and subsequent denial and lawsuit including cited references

Main edits

Removed "critically acclaimed" from sentence referring to specific movies as no references are included or cited to support that conclusion.

Removed "Subsequently, Chapa went on to become one of Hollywood most resilient superstars" Again - No impartial citation or reference.

It almost sounds as if this biography has been written as a C.V. by the subject himself, rather than as a factual biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.56.186 (talk) 20:45, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The film opened at number one in a small town somewhere in the South." Incomplete information and no references cited. Opened at number one of what list and in which small town in the South.

If you are going to keep embellishing the rape allegation section with your own facts, please do so with properly cited sources instead of just making stuff up and using a cited source which makes no reference to the embellishments. The rape allegation, however uncomfortable for the subject of the article is a fact with properly cited sources, please leave it that way unless sources can be cited that backs up your claims.

I have removed uncited material that is being constantly added. This time however, the material was uncited AND RACIST, and was edited by the user called damianrobertchapa, so it's now clear that this page is being used more as a personal C.V than it is for displaying facts, particularly as any negative and cited facts are being continually removed or altered to a positive comment, whilst positive yet uncited or properly referenced and in some cases false facts are added. Sadly on past form I presume Damian Chapa will continue to edit this wiki page, however while false statements and uncited, unreferenced or racist comments are added to this page, I will continue to remove them.

Removed "and domestic violence" from sub heading. It was a rape allegation, not a domestic violence allegation, as the supporting references clearly indicate. CmdrX3 (talk) 22:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The phrasing "Chapa took legal action to gain visitation rights, in response to which Foell told police in Germany that the actor had raped her" feels POV. Without proper citation, it is unclear whether or not her claim was "in response to" his legal actions. It seems to openly imply that it is a false charge, which may never be able to be determined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.66.0.247 (talk) 13:40, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that it might imply that the allegation may seem to be a response to legal action, it could also imply that the response was to the threat of visitation rights. She may have informed police of a rape in order to protect herself and her child from a possible sex offender. The point is that there WAS a rape allegation and that is what is included along with referenced articles. His guilt, innocence or even her reasons for making the allegation is not for us to interpret, it is exactly what it says, an allegation and that is why it's under the heading Rape Allegation.

Fixed Citation again, the second citation was not required as all the information was contained in the first referenced article. In fact the second reference that was inserted was actually taken from the already posted one as clearly stated at the bottom of the article, which was the reason I originally chose that citation over the other as it was the original source. The last number of edits by Nicola Mayerl are quite clearly POV and biased, not least because I believe she is his lawyer but because she is also listed as a co-producer with Chapa on one of Chapa's most recent films but the only two IMDB accredited roles for her were Chapa's two most recent films, both featured Chapa and Mayerl and both were directed by Chapa.
