"Corrected"[edit]

I mistakenly hit my enter key instead of my " key, so the comment regarding my revision to the article should read "(Corrected "Steve Perry (Oregon musician)" to link to the Wikipedia article)" instead of just "(Corrected)". 4RM0 (talk) 22:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

– The musician Steve Perry is the clear primary topic. Page views from January of this year (chosen to avoid any recentism bias from when Perry unexpectedly performed for the first time in years in March) give the musician 62240 views, while the highest among the other topics with the same name was 1664. The Journey musician also dominates google search results -- I went through 5 pages without finding any results for the other topics. A google books search was initially unclear, since there are results that come up by Steve Perry (author), as google favors exact matches to Author names over mentions in text (logically). However, all of the books that come up are the authors own works, not actually books that discuss him. Pretty much all the early results that are coming up and are actually about a Steve Perry are about the singer, however.

Note: The disambiguation page also lists a pornographic film maker Ben Dover, who for a period in the 90s used the pseudonym "Steve Perry" for directing the films he starred in as "Ben Dover". However, he does not seem to factor much into results, as he is pretty much referred to as Ben Dover or one of his other pseudonyms 99% of the time. Regardless, however, he does not receive nearly as many page views (12253 in the chosen month, from which it can be obviously assumed a mere fraction are coming via a search for Steve Perry).

The third listed move is pretty simple. The rubber manufacturer is not clearly the primary topic, either through page views or google results, versus the other figures at that name. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 14:15, 21 October 2014 (UTC) Yaksar (let's chat) 18:10, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Coffee?[edit]

Dear Mr. Perry,

Your hair is even more beautiful since it became salt and pepper!!! My hair started going white when I was sixteen. Now, at 63, I am almost fully white! But that is not the reason I have contacted you. In the video “Oh Sherri” , you wrapped your arms around the girl in the video, laid your head on her shoulder and then wrapped your leg around hers…. I have been waiting my whole life for a man to hold me like that!!! Mind you, I have been with my husband for almost 35 years, married for 32! He announced two weeks after our 32nd anniversary celebration that he was divorcing me! To say I was shocked is an understatement!!! So here I am, contemplating my new life. I was hoping that if you are ever in my neck of the woods, you might give a call at (860) 550-0848. I would love to buy you a cup of coffee and sit for a bit and chat. No big thing, just a quiet cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate. We New Englanders LOVE our hot beverages!!! If it was too annoying having people stare at you, (because who wouldn’t stare, you are such a stunning man!) we could always have coffee at my home. At this point you are probably wondering what kind of person would contact a super famous person like you and ask them out for coffee. Well, not me!!! You are the very first well-known person that I have ever contacted. I was so very taken with the way you held the lady in “Oh, Sherri”. I hope that someday, someone will hold me so close and lovingly! Well, thank you for all the amazing music you have put out there as well as your fabulous videos! In my opinion, you are even more handsome now than when you were younger! You STILL have the best hair and most handsome face of ANY musician, actor, etc. that I have ever seen. I have been thanking God, as I’m sure you have, for your having great doctors that have cleared you of your melanoma!!! I hope you are feeling better and can now move on, cancer free!!! Thank you again for all the goodness that you have put out into the world! Give me a buzz if you are in the Hartford, CT area and I will buy you a warm beverage. Thank you again, Mr. Perry, for all the good that you have done! Sincerely,

Aileen Elmer (pronounced I-Lean) 2601:182:200:25E0:0:0:0:8BC9 (talk) 23:28, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
