Your behaviour.

I don't want to be blunt, but your recent behaviour with editing the Enrique Gil article doesn't seem to be in line with what editors are expected to do here. For starters, I doubt you took photos of the subkect yourself, unless you provide enough proof that you have the rights to the image, or if they're public domain. And second, WHINING IN ALL CAPS whenever another editor reverts your edits won't help at all. They did so for a reason, and if you don't agree with them, discuss it on their talk page and settle on something reasonable. Comprende? Blake Gripling (talk) 10:50, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Enrique's nationality, you might want to consider reading MOS:BLPLEAD for you to have an idea on what to write regarding the subject's heritage. Gil is a Filipino citizen, and as such he should be defined as "a Filipino actor" regardless of his ethnicity; see George Takei as an example. Takei is of Japanese descent, yet is listed as an American as he is born in Los Angeles and has thus been a citizen by birth. You can include information on the subject's early life section, but stating that X is a "Japanese-Spanish-American" or anything of that sort in the lead just doesn't sound right. If the subject is foreign-born (read: immigrant) yet later gained citizenship or residency like Jen-Hsun Huang, terms like "Taiwanese-born American" or anything of that sort is appropriate in that case. And please, stop typing things IN ALL CAPS! It makes you sound immature and whiny to other users. Any sort of misbehaviour can be grounds for a block or worse, remember that.

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Enrique Gil, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Blake Gripling (talk) 12:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
