Official website/myspace page?

Do personal websites or myspace pages generally get added to "External links"? The website [1] purports to be official, but it's hosted at a free hosting domain. Edgriebel (talk) 01:34, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly have doubts whether vinnyvella.net actually has anything to do with the actual person but, have no way to confirm for sure. Nor, am I web savvy enough to find out. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above. I've found out the vinnyvella.com belongs to someone else so maybe .net is an "official" site. I think we shouldn't include it until he have someway of knowing for sure though. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lottery

We need to find a way to include the lotter stuff in the article as well (perhaps in the personal life section?) Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional edit, conflict of interest

I've removed book citation from the lead added by the book's author:

Who' BetterThanYou! Vinny Vella Life Stories Author Gary D. Morgan published 2024.

FWIW, if for some reason this is restored, it would be better using Template:Cite book thus:
