Is this true?

edit

Recently, Marhsall has been criticised for appearing in an infomercial touting the book "World's Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets" sold by Bottom Line Press, which is not a medical publisher.

Seems the only citation of this is a blog, which I don't think is good citation. I'm going to remove it --Glockmeister 14:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I saw this and have had people email me that they saw it too. I've been going nuts looking for a citation. It could have been someone pretending to be him (never know with these infomercials). Strangely, sockpuppets have been removing the citation, so something weird is going on. I looked at your history and I know you're not a sockpuppet, so I'll leave it deleted for now while I look for a citation. Mjk2357 16:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Another update - I don't want to sound like a nut but this is weird to me. A guy just posted on my blog re: this article and said I was "spamming" Wikipedia. One glance at my history shows I'm no spammer - but who cares because there are a lot of self-appointed "authorities" here that don't know what they're talking about, right? The weird thing was he chose "no reply" to his post so I couldn't respond to what he wrote. And his post was in perfect English but the blog it pointed to was in Chinese and all this guy's other comments were in Chinese. So I deleted it.
Still looking for confirmation or a source this guy was on this infomercial. Someone help - YouTube turned up empty. Mjk2357 01:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ok I'll see what Google turns up Glockmeister 01:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I tried - I couldn't find anything. May you have better luck. I don't care about this enough to sit up all night watching infomercials! Mjk2357 02:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


Oh...my...god... look at this!! - http://www.archivista.ch/cgi-bin/mwfd/user_info.pl?uid=44. "Barjammar" was the one that initially reverted my post. This is too weird...
More evidence: http://www.helico.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl . Now, hopefully, Barjammar is just pretending to be Barry Marshall, right? I mean, it couldn't actually be Barry Marshall, reverting my addition without denying he was in the infomercial. Mjk2357 02:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Spelling in Michael Woodruff

edit

Any particular reason you changed honored to the British honoured in the article on Michael Woodruff. Here's the diff. I'm an American and wrote the vast majority of the text in the article so it's been American spellings thus far. Of course under Wikipedia:Manual of Style (national varieties of English) this is a bit of a gray area, but the article currently uses numerous American spellings. If you'd like to change the whole thing to British English, feel free to start a thread on the article talk page to that effect, but given the overall trend of the article and the fact that Woodruff lived all over the world, I'm changing honored back to honoured just for the time being.
