[edit] Before/after

I think this article would benefit from a photo of Buck as as a woman, but the only ones I've seen were the ones Howard held up to the camera on hsi show, which wouldn't really be suitable for here. Does anyone know a better source? Ace of Sevens 10:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I found one here: http://www.eros-ny.com/articles/2004-07-13/buckangel/buck13.jpg but I don't know much about fair use and all of that. Google image search yielded a couple of results.Julieisthebest 20:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

This article would benefit if someone but Buck Angel's real birth name. His real official name now is Jake Miller but he was born a woman so I would be surprise if it's birth name was Jake...

Why do you want to know his real name? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? MAYBE YOU MEAN HIS REAL BIRTH NAME? That is in many of his interviews. He was born with a female name just like any transsexual basically. But to put his legal name on here really is not of any purpose is it? There are also many pictures on his website to look at.

[edit] Real Name

I removed Buck's real name at the request of the subject, Buck, who contacted me directly about it. Please contact me by E-mail at marshall@marshallastor.com so that I can explain the situation as Buck has explained it to me. I believe that the removal of his real name is not in conflict with policy under the circumstances. Glowimperial 22:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Buck Angel's real name is a matter of legal record per Title 18, section 2257. Therefore this information is public record and should remain in the article. If Buck has an issue with that he should bring it up with the Wikimedia office. Or Buck can directly email the office at info-en-q@wikimedia.org  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 00:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
