I don't know why people keep deleting the section about Moon driving the car into the pool. It happened, we were there, we took a photo. Please stop erasing history.
1. I have new photos I took of Michael Moore filming his new documentary on Wall Street, I'd like to post them but his page is locked.
2. I'd also like to correct an error: his bio says he was born in Davison. Since there were no hospitals in Davison in 1954 when he was born, this would be rather difficult. Additionally, his family is Catholic and as such he was born at St. Joseph hospital near downtown Flint. But don't take my word for it, he states all of this in his movie "Pets or Meat" - I have a copy of this film and will be happy to upload the video where he says it.
These are facts, not opinions or speculation, and that's what Wikipedia is all about, right?
- No problem. The page is only semi-protected, so I think you should be able to edit Michael Moore. I can't see why not? Your account should be autoconfirmed? If you can't, please give me more details of the error/message you are getting, below. I'll watch this page. Cheers, Chzz ► 19:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Correction - just checked, and now I understand! You've only made *exactly* 10 edits; placing the message above was your tenth. For your account to be autoconfirmed requires 4 days (OK, Sept 08) and 10 edits! So - you should be autoconfirmed now, within a few hours. So please have patience for a few hours, and you'll be away!

- Lots of reliable third party sources (reproduced) on Michael Moore's website say he was born in Flint and raised in Davidson, a suburb. [1] I am going to change the article. Dynablaster (talk) 19:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! Works now! Just made the edits to the Moore page. Wikipedia is now more accurate than it was before! I also just learned how to make multiple refs point to the same place with "ref=name" - Cool stuff! Flintmi (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Nice one :-)
- Couple of notes;
- If you think an edit might be 'controversial', discuss it on the article discussion page ("talk page") before you make it.
- Re. 2) above - don't upload the movie, it's copyright; however, you can cite the movie, no problem. See Template:Cite video. -- Chzz ► 20:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
