Brent Corrigan

As this article is continually shaped, there is an ongoing NPOV war raging on the history and comments page. Need to have a few more unattached persons dropping by and helping to form it into a better, balanced whole.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jodyw1 (talk • contribs)

"Corrigan's performing career has featured a diverse variety of sexual activity, including semen swallowing rimming and Cobra Video's first-ever double anal penetration" Ouaou!!! What can I say? Only one thing: Ouaou!!! These are my comments:

• Every information, which is relevant to the article and verified should be mentioned. Therefore, if the section I quoted is verified and relevant, then OK! But is it? I checked the link and I went to "Schoolboy Crush DVD *Bareback*"! What is that?? An advertisement! An unsigned advertisement. Is it verified? I donot think so! The citation is, for me, an invalid source. That's what I think. And something else: Why is this piece of information necessary? Is Corrigan the only pornstar who does "semen swallowing". For the double penetration maybe OK (this definitely hurted! I sympathize the guy!). But, I repeat, my main problem is the lack of a verifiable source: Let's say citating an advertisement is OK; is it explicitely mentioned that "Corrigan participated in Cobra Video's first-ever double anal penetration"? I confess I did not read it (I had enough with penetrations!).
• If the above information belongs to the article (?), then "dates in the 10th grade or his pie-in the sky pretensions to be a film director" also belong to it. If verified this information concerning his early life is definitely important. I donot understand this discrimination. This is a biography and all verified biographical information do have a place in this article.
• Do you care about improving the article? If so, then expand or merge the stuby sections, merge or expand the one-sentence paragraphs and rewrite the lead according to WP:LEAD: the current lead is not a good summary of the article.

Response

I'm the one who made the move for more eyes on the BC article. I was accused of being too "pro" Corrigan, and rather than continue to debate the point, felt that the more people involved, the less a chance of whatever non, NPOV bias I have would creep into the article. I've tried to be fair, but, there you go.

Anyway, I don't really think the semen/cum eating/double penetration stuff belongs in the article. It's nothing that other performers haven't done. There's no source I've seen that makes Corrigan "notable" for those practices and it personally smacks of someone saying "Hah-hah, look what he's done!!" The only way I can see that it matters is by mentioning those activities with BC's comments about how much he hated doing those scenes. I've read interviews where he's discussed this. Considering though I'm a bit biased, I've stayed out of this debate.

As for the biographical information about his parents, reasons for his move, etc. I agree that it's all necessary. I've read the biography policies for Wiki and it all seemed appropriate. But my continuing to put the information in, and my reasons for keeping it in, were causing a revert war. We all were cautioned with being banned because of said war. If you'd like to add your view, then please do.

I'd love to improve the article. I'd love to move the stubly bits together. As usual though, that whole "revert war" starts to rear its head. If people like you are there to mediate and makes sure it's done properly and fairly, then my request for help was worth it.

I'll work on redoing the lead paragraph if you and whomever else will keep an eye out to make sure it doesn't just become an endless series of reverts and threats of reverts.
