==Jackass Number Two==
He didn't appear in the DVD - and I can't edit since it's semi-protected.
(I fogot to sign this one. Sorry. [[User:N7bor|N7bor]] 00:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC))
:This page was gettingb ridiculous vandalism, so forgive me for keeping it protected for now. I think accounts have to be open for 4 days to get past SP. Have you seen all the extras, deleted scenes etc. on the DVD? I understand it isn't released until tomorrow. <b>[[User:Deiz|<span style="verdana; color:#000000;">Dei</span><span style="color:#FF3300;">zio</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:Deiz|talk]]</small> 01:42, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 
He's not on the DVD.

different user: are the save vito sites really worth mentioning in the entry, they are free sites and take only an hour to make. People look at wikipedia for an unbiased article and a few fans are putting more than their weight adding this.

Due to constant vandalism and erroneous postings by unlogged users, the borderline-encyclopedic "quotes" section has been removed from the main article. Please place Vito quotes here. ++[[User:Deiz|Deiz]] 02:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey JD, not to tread on your toes but I rephrased the stuff about the house and put being an accountant back in, just feels like any info is good right now if this article is going to get bigger. However cant find any proof about the accountant thing so that might have to go after all.. If it really bugs you then take it out again. [[User:Deiz|Deiz]] 02:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 
 
== Scallopine vs Scallopini ==
 
I google-fighted this one, Scallopini wins 55,000 - 25,000. They are both acceptable but Scallopini is the more common of the two forms. But revert away...

== Trivia ==
 
I reverted an edit about Vito's picture being up in a restaurant in Philadelphia, it wasn't clear a) what Vito had to do with the picture being there, or b) what makes the restaurant otherwise notable. Most of the stuff on this page is seriously borderline encyclopedic as it is.

I reverted an edit saying "He is a filthy paedophile." figured one have to be proven guilty. [[User:85.82.143.104|85.82.143.104]] 11:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 
Removed the "Rumor has that he tickles Bams asshole with a heroine syringe" line.
 
== Vietnam ==
 
The reference to his military service says he was "a cock sucker" in Vietnam. What on earth is that a reference to? -[[User:Etoile|Etoile]] 06:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 
I question his service in Vietnam.
Although it is possible, it is not probable
Most of the US soldiers left in 1973 (when Margera was between 16 and 17 years old)
 
== Pic ==
 
It's a shame the 3 pics we have are a mug shot and 2 in fancy dress.. seems a litle cruel to make the mug shot his info box picture. <b>[[User:Deiz|<span style="verdana; color:#000000;">Dei</span><span style="color:#FF3300;">zio</span>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:Deiz|talk]]</small> 15:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 
 
The mug shot is probably the most recent, so it's his info box pic.
 
Someone needs to update the last paragraph in the Triva section, the DVD release of Jackass 2 still doesn't have any footage of Don Vito that was once made for the movie.

==Bam Margera comments on Don Vito scandal==
 
Bam Margera said this during a live recording of Bam Radio on Sirius Radio:
 
"Sorry people, I'm too pissed off to do a show today. Let me just say this: Fuck America and all you fuckers livin' in it. Because I'm sick of people trying to get money off of slipping on a grape in the grocery store and fuckin'...walking on a weak school roof and then breaking their leg when they're trying to break in, and then they get all kinds of fucking money. I think the lawyers, and the people, are all fucked up. And let me just sum up some shit about I'm not allowed to talk about because of the lawyers: Well, guess what, lady? Vito doesn't have any fuckin' money! He has a red Ford Ranger, and that's it! And the $75'000 that MTV gave him, he's spending on a fuckin' lawyer to defend himself! And the fact that he's so unhealthy, he's probably gonna die this year. I think it's fucked he has to spend the last few days of his miserable life flying back and forth to Colorado to defend himself about some piece of fucking bullshit fucking case that you know you're---trying to get money, that's it. That's the only thing. (exhales) Tom, just play me some old H.I.M., not that new radio-friendly fuckin' shit. I'm packing my shit and moving to Kazakastan to get away from this fucked-up ass country, dude. Fuck!"

==Don Vito in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air==
I was just watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Nick at Nite, and in the episode "Who's The Boss?", I could have sworn that I saw Don Vito in the scene where there are "freaks" in the Peacock store... he was the man sitting in the chair and it looked like he was crying. I can't find anything that pertains to both Don Vito and Fresh Prince at the same time, so I have no way to back this up. Has anyone else seen this one?

:Watched the portion of the episode just to check and no its not him, but I must add it does look very close and I can see why people would assume it is. -[[User:unorthodoxJ]] ([[User talk:unorthodoxJ|Talk]])
 
"Fatty McGee" is a show that never existed.
 
According to Bam, Vito will soon go back to Colorado and appeal his parole so he can start to act again with Bam. Woohoo!

== Registered Sex Offender ==
 
Should his status as a registered sex offender not be included in the lead?

== Biographies of living persons? ==
 
Sorry if this seems out of context, but Mr. Margera has been deceased for over five years now. Any sophomoric attempts at vandalism related to his status as a criminal should be long in the past now, and I feel this protection should be lifted.
