Filmography

I would like to know why you deleted half of Luke's filmography and hometown? There doesn't seem to be any reason for it. It was factual and provides no undue burden on the article length. Luke's hometown of Fredericktown has been documented in a People magazine article and he often talks about it in interviews.

I did. I deleted all the minor credits because Wikipedia shouldn't be a listing of every single film Perry has been in, but only the major, theatrically-released ones. We can link to the IMDB for a full listing. I also took out extraneous information throughout the article. I guess you can put down his high school if you want, just in a different and less distracting format than before. Vulturell 06:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Middle name

He was born Luke Skywalker Perry? BEFORE Star Wars came out? Doubtful... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.3.163 (talk) 18:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Nope, Coy Luther Perry III, according to IMDB. The Skywalker thing is obviously a joke. Neil Hunt (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Removed a bit...

If any Luke Perry fan sais it IS true, than please put it back int here. But I have never heared of a song sang by Luke Perry and Britney Spears called Gorolla hips.... Neither has Google nor Youtube... Nice joke tho ;oP But I removed the line saying it...

I never heard about this "Perry also sang a duet with Britney Spears in 2001 at the MTV music awards" ?????????????

Is this really true ?????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.76.113.236 (talk) 12:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Error in Guest Work section?

"He also played Superman in the film Superman: Quest for Steve." Ha ha, what a funny joke. No such film, as far as I can tell. Jlandsman (talk) 19:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism - see discussion thread here. Tabercil (talk) 22:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Year of birth

The wikipedias in other languages maintain that Parry is born in 1965, not in 1966. I really don't know what is true, maybe anybody can check this.

[DidT] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.147.152 (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I've been following his career since 1991 and I've always seen the year 1966. The James Brady “In Step With… Luke Perry” article from PARADE magazine is linked as the source to confirm 1966 as his correct year of birth. That was the second time James Brady had interviewed him, first time listed 1966 as Luke's birth year as well. Personally, I don't know where people are getting the 1965 year from. Crbsd 03:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

It says 1965 on his IMDB page. Of course, this could just be a typo - but who knows for sure?79.69.19.5 18:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I remember that his IMDB page listed 1966 years ago (think it was around the time he was first listed on IMDB). I don't know why it was changed, when it was actually changed, or what source it was based on to make the change. However, I know that IMDB can be edited by fans if they are a registered user and that not all of the info on that site is accurate. I think the only ones that would truly know for sure is Luke and his family/friends. But, I'm confident in thinking his year of birth is indeed 1966 based on everything I've seen. Crbsd 02:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

And how come, that all the other Wikipedias say, he's born in 1965? --DidT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.147.152 (talk) 05:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I checked all of the other Wikipedias, there are 2 that also list 1966: the Italiano and Polski pages. Yes, I realize that means that a majority of the other Wikipedias list a different year, but I'm still confident that the year 1966 is the correct one. Do any of the ones that list 1965 provide proof for that year like I have done for 1966? Crbsd 00:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It's very probable that the Italiano and Polski Wikipedias just translated it from the English article. The other Wikipedias don't seem to provide any proof. I'm surprised that it's so hard to find out such a trivial thing :-) --DidT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.147.152 (talk) 03:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

His official page on facebook says he is born in 1965. Also, an article in the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet lists him as 42 in August 2008. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/film/article3194627.ab http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=Luke+Perry&init=quick#/pages/Luke-Perry/22368445063?v=info&ref=search Karbuncle (talk) 17:17, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

There's no evidence that the Facebook page is truly his, so that's discounted. As for Aftonbladet, that's a story about him, not a story where they interviews him directly. As such, I'm still taking the James Brady interview as definitive. Tabercil (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

They don't call it the OFFICIAL page unless it's prooved that it really is the celebrity who is creating the page. As for the James Brady interview there's nothing in the interview that shows that Luke Perry himself has stated that he is born in 1966. All we have is a statement from the journalist. Neither the journalist asks any question to him related to his birthdate. Karbuncle (talk) 01:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Still, I'll take an article where the author has spoken with the subject over one where it's merely about the subject in general for accuracy in this case. Tabercil (talk) 01:33, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I admit I was wrong. I checked on birthdatabase and they states him as being 43 years old. Karbuncle (talk) 16:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi again,
not it's already five years that I started this whole discussion and still there is different data in the wikis about his year of birth.In 2007 the German Wikipedia said 1965, the English 1966. Now it is the other way around. In the German Wiki it was said, that in November 1991 there was an interview in the people magazine (http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20111199,00.html) which stated that his year of birth was in 1966. Besides he has an older brother who was born in 1965, they said.
And doesnt the last comment of Karbuncle also imply that the true year of birth is 1966? 85.176.158.21 (talk) 15:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 February 2019

The stroke happened today Feb 28 not the 27th 2600:1011:B108:5E22:71FB:4115:1638:11D2 (talk) 21:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: cite 2 ([1]) says Wednesday. Wednesday was the 27. NiciVampireHeart 22:44, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Just a reminder to all you anonymous non-regulars who keep proposing edits like this: the day a celebrity's hospitalization or death gets reported is not always the same day that it happened. You need to actually read the sources, and stop just assuming that the news always gets announced right away. Bearcat (talk) 18:33, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
