[edit] extensive vandalism

After reviewing the history log, [1] this wiki has had extensive vandalism dating as far back to June 2005. After reading the past talk history, vandalism comes from a website linked to www.moopy.co.uk

It is suggested that this article is temporarily protected. Seven77 17:27, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article

This article has good sources and respectable sites. I have contributed to it in the past and it has been frequently updated by numerous users. David Bazan, Ishman Bracey are among articles on people I have not heard of, it does not mean they are not a celebrity or notable. If you are unfamiliar with Eric West read the biography and review the references below. Seven77 17:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ericwestcdsingle.jpg

Image:Ericwestcdsingle.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MovingReality.com

In October, Paramount Pictures announced Eric will appear in David Fincher's 2007 film Benjamin Button with a small role along side Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt.

The site MovingReality.com was cited as a reference for this info, I removed it because it was nothing more than a spam attempt that now goes to a 404 page, that site is nothing more than a bogus modeling agency who steals the profiles of models on sites such as ModelMayhem.com and ModelPlace.com. I know this because they've stolen the profile/pics of someone I know and a simple Google search found she wasn't the only one, besides that, you can even see the name of original location of the images if you view it's properties or outside of the page they're on.

[edit] Afro-Puerto Rican

Eric West is of African-American and Puerto Rican descent. His African ancestry is from the United States (he is a relative of Smokey Robinson). Afro-Puerto Ricans are black persons whose black ancestry is from the island of Puerto Rico. I have corrected the page.--Noopinonada (talk) 23:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
