[edit] Need help

I'm not sure how to do the following:

Link to Michael Blake needs to be corrected. Needs to point to Michael Blake (musician) who is a saxophonist.

Asterix at bottom next to Poll Winner is meant to reference the years in which Ben topped the various Downbeat Polls listed above, which have a corresponding asterix.

Michael Blake is very good, but I'm not sure he has a Wikipedia article. Would you like to start one? Regarding the asterisks, that seems an unusual way to do it. Is there an easier way? Badagnani (talk) 17:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

This article, though good, is written like a press/promotional bio and seems to have a lot of bias in place of fact. 192.254.1.7 (talk) 23:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Michael Blake (musician) does have a wiki page. I just don;t know how to link to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allisonics (talk • contribs) 01:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
