An entry from Philip Staufen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 31 May 2006.

Some pictures? Isn't there a single press release picture of this man? Or of the gay porn actor? Or piano man? Or anything to do with this man.

[edit] Re: cleanup template

This is the second one that has been placed on this article. Why? What needs cleaning up? Would people please be specific rather than tagging and running. Exploding Boy 23:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It is not clear whether the Staufen actually is Georges Lecuit? The question was raised (or at least was in the article) but it remains unclear whether enyone took theese claims to be true. Comment aanyone? Shukalo83

I think it's clear. A gay porn actor in England claimed that Staufen was Lecuit, and provided a photo of Lecuit which closely resembled Staufen (apart from the difference in hairstyle). It was later discovered that the real Georges Lecuit, a French man and not a porn actor, had had his passport stolen some time before. In other words, it is presumed that Staufen stole or acquired Lecuit's stolen passport, and then used his identity while working as a porn actor in England. Exploding Boy 02:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Piano Man

Sorry, I'm not able to provide references (which is why I wrote on this page rather than just change the main page, but later reports in British newspapers noted that the so-called Piano Man had absolutely no ability to play the piano whatsoever. I don't know why there would have been so much confusion over this; perhaps hospital staff and journalists thought it would be more romantic for the man to 'be' an expert pianist.

Well, I don't know what that has to do with this particular article, but if you read the Piano Man article you'll discover that those claims are disputed by the hospital staff. Exploding Boy 16:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
