UK pornstar's biog's on Wikipedia (hardly any!)...

[max_tranmere]

Someone touched upon this in another post recently.

I counted less than 60 UK pornstars, past and present, who have biography's on Wikipedia, yet this very site states there are over 2,500 British pornstars. I have never added a page to Wikipedia but it is apparently really easy - 30 million new words get added to Wikipedia every day around the world. If people know details about UK pornstars then please go to Wikipedia and get writing!

If and when people do, please announce on this thread that you have done so! As time goes on we can build up a large resource of information on Wikipedia about UK porn girls!

Wikipedia can be accessed by anyone to amend, add or edit previous contributions. Most of the "facts" should be viewed upon with a certain degree of incredulity.

Very true.

I had to amend Stacey Owen's entry- quoting Phil McCavity in what she was doing now- as someone was doing a real stitch-up job on her.

My amendments to Tracy Neve's entry- to amend either a libel or a part of her life we don't need to know about- were constantly reversed by the same someone/people who thought they should make her appear small.

I wrote an entry on Karen Kelly that was deleted as she 'wasn't famous enough' as the admin there said. I suggest that may be why very few porn actress biogs can be found on there.

if anyone wants to add me ill send u a free dvd or something.

im not allowed to add myself especially as i intend to use it to market my new business in the search engines.

I just had another count-up on Wikipedia and the numbers haven't increased since I last posted (2 weeks ago) although I found someone who is a UK pornstar, who has a page on Wikipedia, but they do not appear in the 'list of British pornstars'. Maybe the link doesn't work or something - so there are the odd one or two others on there as aswell. Anyway folks, like I said before, if you now the biogs of these people go to Wikipedia and getting typing! It would be good if we could expand the numbers on there!

Sorry, but what's the point?

There's already a perfectly decent database here.
I can't seen any reason for adding a wiki entry unless it's 'fan-type'
one with the sort of details that are either unacceptable here and/or
perhaps not wholly germane .....
... or as Sandie has possibly hinted at, a somewhat covert form of self-
promotion : -)

I agree...on top of bgafd you've got myspace,facebook,personal blogs

Adding wiki seems overkill unless it were part of an overall history of Brit Porn from the start till now unless it already exists in which forget my wafflings

I see they got the Dick Nasty page right...no links for starring roles

The big problem is Wikipedia's notability rules:

There have been a fair few UK porn star biographies on Wikipedia in the past but their admins seem to enjoy deleting them if they think they won't be remembered in 50 years

Barely anyone nowadays remembers Charles Babbage.
And he was the father of modern computing.

And what about that bloke who invented the 'Post-it' note?
