Talk:Michael Berk

message: Perhaps I'm confused, but the article about me is only a couple of lines long and very incomplete.  So I edited an accurate, complete article about me.  Unbiased, completely backup up by the information about me and my career on IMDB.   But someone keeps taking it down and replacing it with the inaccurate and incomplete article about me.    I received the message that someone too close to a subject (or the subject himself) can't edit an article.  This makes no sense to me as who better to write about a subject, or a person, that someone who knows the subject and the person intimately.  
So if I am prohibited in edited an accurate article about myself, how can I get an accurate article about me on Wikipedia?  When you search my name on Google first up is IMDB, then Wikipedia.  If people search me - or research me - and they go to Wikipedia and do not get the full story of who I am and what I have accomplished, such as creating the TV series Baywatch, and other movies and TV programs, then my incomplete and/or inaccurate profile on Wikipedia is hurting me.   How can I work with Wikipedia to resolve this?  Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael Berk

Talk:Porsche in Formula One

message: This article is intended as a single target to which to link all F1-related references to "Porsche". The rationale is that if the place where Porsche's F1 involvement is described (currently Porsche_in_motorsport#Single-seaters) ever changes, then we only have to change one article (this one), rather than a whole lot. Additionally/alternately, it's ever considered that Porsche's F1 involvement is worthy of its own article, then the content can be located here and all the links will already be in place. -- DH85868993 10:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  How is this magic? 

message: This is a magic trick that was invented by Bruce Spangler in 1959. Here's the definitive article from the Society of American Magicians in their publication from April 2014. http://www.sammagiccenter.com/images/MUM_May_2014_-_The_Spanglers.pdf
The original name was You-Do-Voodoo. A quick search online for Bruce Spangler and Needle Through Arm or You-Do-Voodoo will turn up lots of information. Penn & Teller actually credit Bruce in their act as being the inventor. Harry Anderson produced an unauthorized version in the mid 80s. 
It is a magic trick and not self-mutilation. Bruce's claim to fame was really to invent the theatrical stage blood (fake blood) for this trick. That blood was used by KISS in the 1970s and in many movies during that time. 
I'm not a wikipedia guy, but ran across this and wanted to add this so that it could be verified and added to the article. This is truly one of the classics of magic. - Carly Aspen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.225.221 (talk) 18:15, 11 May 2015‎ (UTC)
