Untitled[edit]

Why is the comment about how he appeared on the cover of "The Advocate" relevant? I realize his primary claim to fame as of 2003 is his open homosexuality as a celebrity, but if we listed every magazine cover every celebrity appeared on in their wiki entries, it'd be pretty silly. I'm removing it. 68.222.10.9 08:17, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The fact that he appeared on the cover of the advocate was important in his life

It's not like the article is too long. It's a stub!

I agree. Currently the only reference that he is gay is a reference to a tabloid, which is not a reliable source. A reference to The Advocate would not only be a RS, it would show his concern for gay civil rights. Let's put it back in. David Spector (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pintauro's sex ad on Manhunt.com[edit]

It's relevant because all celeb bios make reference to the subject's appearance in porn, if such references apply (of course).

"According to Campfire Video (Link removed), Mr. Pintauro has taken out an add on the adult gay male website (Link removed) advertising that he is looking for sexual playmates. The ad includes nude photographs of Mr. Pintauro."

Wikipedia policy regarding Biographies of Living Persons states: "Articles about living persons, which require a degree of sensitivity, must adhere strictly to Wikipedia's content policies. Be very firm about high-quality references, particularly about details of personal lives. Unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about living persons should be removed immediately from both the article and the talk page."

The link has been removed and the matter turned over the living persons biographies noticeboard for resolution. In the interim please refrain from reinstating the link until the matter is resolved. Philbertgray 14:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the nicest people for whom I've done house sound, the (now) has-beens and one-hit-wonders were the biggest assholes. (Note to future celebs: be nice to your technical crew, because they can make you look and sound really bad, or they can make you look and sound really good. And we're not even the reason you sound or look bad, if you're an asshole, we just won't give you that warm sound and fuzzy camera next time you show up hung over!)
To you, Dan, if you're reading (and one of your screen names lights up across Google, which implies a certain Internet savvy and hopefully a desire to look yourself up on Wikipedia on occasion), thank you. I will forever owe you, an obviously gay man (even if you hadn't figured it out then, WE did, though this particular author didn't figure himself out until 1995) on a major sitcom (which I only watched because of you) for my oh-so-tenuous grip on some semblance of sanity. You have a friend. Consider yourself hugged. And take the hand off the package next time you photograph it... you made me have to imagine far too much.
Oh yeah, and Dan, don't bother to e-mail me if you don't think a car engine block wouldn't look pretty, properly cleaned and machined, as a coffee table in the middle of my fabulous (fantasy) Art Deco and 1920s Craftsman living room. Ask any mechanic how a freshly machined and painted Slant-6 block would look with stainless steel bolts holding a Lucite top to the cylinder head milling. Cute only goes so far. The love of the art of the machine is essential.
Heh. The futility of looking for another gay man who thinks machines are beautiful. I'll be single forever.

What is with this nonsensical gibberish? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.192.102 (talk) 00:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yiddophile, this isn't a forum for declaring your admiration of any particular celebrity. Also, the Manhunt things is totally inappropriate for this site. From what I've been able to find out, Pintauro has never confirmed, and celebrities are the victims of such things all the time. Pictures can be faked or stolen, and with no credible source, the information should stay gone. --HillbillyProfane (talk) 04:21, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pintauro WTB.jpg[edit]

Image:Pintauro WTB.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
