I have edited out Peter's surname and city from the article as per the request he made through his website ( http://www.askgeriatric.com/), and also intend to nominate this article for deletion, although I'll make sure that's okay with him first.
While I do appreciate that he is, arguably, a 'notable' enough person for inclusion in the Wikipedia, this page, by disclosing personal information, serves as a personal security risk. Have some respect (if not for him as a person then at least the law), and don't put it back. -- Unreadablecharacters 17:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
"...he served as a radar mechanic during World War II"
No, he served AFTER the war. 1945-1927 = 18. Highly unlikely. Brainhell 03:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
*TiA Part 1 4,700 people E-Mailed him prior to the making of this video, The relisation of his popularity sets in. born in 1927 young life spent when world II was happening. At the age of 11 "they" decided to ithor further educate you or throw you out at the age of 14, he went on to learn things like latin. He loves motercycles. Tears up at the end. Skeeve KAM 05:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
*TiA Part 2 Peter explains how he left school and looked for a job. His mother bought him an expensive new suit with 'a year's worth' of ration vouchers, and got a job in a local government office in the public health department. During this time he underwent training, and was unhappy that he had to return to a nightschool. Peter explains about not being able to use his motorcycle as much as he would like, because petrol was very highly rationed, and when he did get any petrol vouchers (admitting it was 'probably dodgy'), all the signs had been removed. He was conscripted to the army soon after, and explains that it was a gruelling experience, where 'your brain is scrambled' and you are changed 'from a boy to a man in six weeks'. He explains that he wasn't a soldier on the front lines, but (worked with?) radars, still in the country. Old m 16:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
*TiA Part 3 He travelled around the coast durring WWII, and glad that he didn't have to face the horror of the front. Met his wife in a college in Leicester (wife worked in art/design). Because of going to college, he got qualification. Competed in bike trials/competitions. Eventually got a job in Lester (public health inspector). Managed to get a business selling motorbikes after working in the industry. Ben 20:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
*TiA Part 4 His motorbike business was a good success, and married his wife six months after his business was set up. Frist child (daughter) year after marriage, second (son) 1 1/2 years after that. One of his friends sold him his (profitable) business, which allowed him to move into a town with good facilities. 10 years on Peter and his wife fostered a disabled four year old. He developed a liver problem, and sold his less profitable business and left the managment to someone he trusted. Peter's wife died in '97. Ben 20:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Old M; could you add details for TiA part 1 & 2 and we can decide what to add to the wiki
What about some like this as a subarticle? -- 24.91.83.121 04:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
User:172.200.37.178 22:25, 15th October 2006 (BST) Peter clearly states in a few of his youtube videos that he does not own a website and that any websites set up in his name are not authorised by him. Therefore I have removed the link untill his ownership of the website has been cofirmed.
Argent009 08:20, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Whoever is editing the entry for askgeriatric.com to say he has no control over the site, stop it now, you are a bold faced liar. That is Peter's official website and he has complete control over it. I am Michael, his friend who set it up for him, none of you have any knowledge of this situation so quit your nonsense. If it's edited again I will report it.
Reply:First off, please sign your comments with ~~~~, so that we know who you are. Secondly, we can not use Wikipedia talk pages as a reliable source for such a claim. Thirdly, you cant report someone removing unsourced information, because Wikipedia policy clearly shows that you can do such a thing. It would be worth reading up on the main policies of Wikipedia ( WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR) before threatening someone on here again. Remy B 03:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Argent009 08:20, 18 September 2006 (UTC)1. I do not do wikipedia that much so I don't know all the commands and formatting conventions. 2. You can verify who I am simply by GOING to the website or viewing any of Geriatric1927's latest videos, #REDIRECT[ [1]] #REDIRECT[ [2]] he mentions me plenty. 3. I am Argent009, view me on YouTube, what other proof could anyone need? Peter himself tells you who I am and that this is his official website. I think any more proof would be redundant, how can their be a more reliable source than the man himself? So, again I state, do not change that entry or I will report the violation to Wikipedia, simple as that.
I removed the link to that site today as the domain is going to a parked page, Hope that is OK. Mrdeleted ( talk) 05:53, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
I removed this ENTIRE section as a WP:BLP violation. exolon 22:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
# 7 List of videos by geriatric1927 - seems pointless, as it is not kept up to date and it is hard to maintain - when Peter deletes videos and Peter's latest video has not yet been added in over a week. The link to his profile videos section is more than enough. It just makes the article too long for no reason. Deanbb 22:12, 6 September 2007 (GMT)
I also feel the "A reluctant farewell" and "Returning to YouTube" sub-headings are kind of redundant now, since Peter has established himself and has since taken more than 8 days off from posting a video. Deanbb 22:12, 6 September 2007 (GMT)
I also just noticed that "79 LAUNCH OF YOUTUBE UK" has been removed by Peter so there's another reason for that section to be removed - are you trying to maintain an exact replica of Peter's YouTube video list - because that to me, seems like too much work. If Peter deletes a video, will it take 3 months for that to be reflected on this wikipedia video list... Deanbb 22:24, 6 September 2007 (GMT)
I also don't like the "First Aired" heading (we are talking YouTube here... on the computer), I would maybe prefer "Uploaded On". "First Aired" just seems rather cheesy and contrived. Deanbb 22:24, 6 September 2007 (GMT)
This entire Wiki page is very outdated and due to the censorship by certain people, cannot be kept up to date. The page would be better served if it simply provided a brief bio and links to Peter's website and YouTube channel and that's that. The following is directly from Peter with regards to this Wiki entry, this is not a paraphrase but a direct cut and paste from his email to me.
"People keep reminding me that I have a page on Wickapaedia so went there and find that it is very outdated. Is there a way to update it? e.g. I don't think that there is anything there about the Zimmers and my involvement." -PJO
The content of this Wiki, as it is about a private individual, should either be subject to his approval or written by someone such as myself with the ability to ensure that it is accurate.
Additionally, the location is incorrect, but then again, Peter does not wish his location to be known anyway so it should be removed outright. In fact, his last name was first leaked on this Wiki page, it was not something he gave anyone permission to leak to the world but so be it, it's out of the bag now. I believe Peter would appreciate it if the people in charge of Wikipedia would allow his designated representatives only to give the information that is appropriate. When dealing with a private individual there are certain rights that should not be violated, please respect Peter's rights in this matter. Any further inaccurate or inappropriate content on this Wiki page will be removed, by me, without delay and I will not listen to criticism, it is not your business to decide what is and what is not appropriate to release about a private individual on a website, nor is it anyone's right to print false information. I will continue to check this article for errors or inappropriate content and remove it, if you wish to complain about that, visit Peter's website and speak to him about it. No further argument or discussion is required or will be tolerated about this subject. Argent009 03:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Argent009 16:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
It would be really appreciated if someone added a picture of Peter. It would be nice to add to his wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dirtyharry1994 ( talk • contribs) 10:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
As of August 4 of 2010, Geriatric1927's account has been suspended and his videos removed due to terms of use violations. This sucks monkey balls, if you ask me.-- 200.95.132.17 ( talk) 23:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

If he made his YouTube debut in August 2006, 8 twelfths through the year, how could he have been the most subscribed user on YouTube by mid 2006 ( June 2006 – 6 twelfths through the year)? 81.158.217.182 ( talk) 02:43, 19 August 2013 (UTC) ==
How can he make his debut in August 2006, yet "by mid 2006" he was the most subscribed to person on youtube? Mid 2006 would be end of june beginning of july which is before his debut.-- 125.129.16.99 ( talk) 09:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
