Facts on Ken Schaffer Bio[edit]

I've cleaned up the second paragraph of the bio. Grammar and info/facts.

My information comes from first hand personal knowledge, not from a third party source or article.

The facts there are reasonably correct at this point.

The price quoted is approximately correct for some of the microphones sold.

Items questionable or unclear: - not sure he worked as a publicist for Jerry Garcia. - unclear what he sold to NASA or if they used any of his designs/inventions that came from the wireless microphone/wireless guitar system.

- I added refs re El Topo, which he arranged to be exhibited at midnight at the Elgin Cinema in New York, then introduced to Lennon.

First hand knowledge direct from (now author) Lindsay Maracotta, Lennon's personal assistant at the time.

- I removed Jerry Garcia publicist ref. He worked with Garcia, but on a side project album, "Hooteroll" only.

Conflict of interest[edit]

Too many of the contributions to this article appear to be IP editors who are interested primarily in Schaffer, the Schaffer-Vega diversity invention, and the TV2Me invention. This appears to me to be the work of one person who is strongly connected to the topic. Binksternet (talk) 04:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict Of Interest flag?[edit]

I see someone did a major clean-up on this article, beating me to the punch! I don't know exactly what the customs are for removing flags. Does everyone agree it meets Wikipedia's standards now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwaterberry (talk • contribs) 23:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the content in Schaffer Vega Diversity System overlapped with Ken Schaffer, so I removed redundancies (leaving more summarized versions one can read in more detail in the other article), removed narrative style and added sections to emphasize his work as an inventor and publicist, so it doesn't read like a biography of a living person. I'll take another look, but I can't see anything glaring that still needs to change in Ken Schaffer. I'm gonna go ahead and remove the Conflict Of Interest flag, but if anyone sees any more problems please discuss?
