Should something be put on here about his personality? He's the most carefree and free-spirited dream theater member, and in a non-negative connotation, immature. It's clearly seen in his stage performances and his manner of dress, as well as his dialogue. Thoughts? 203.144.160.246 17:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Is he Jewish?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.228.251.46 (talk • contribs) 08:29, January 21, 2006 (UTC)
Born as such, but not really a practicing member of the Jewish faith, I believe. A small query about a couple of things in the kit section: I believe the Transatlantic kit was only used on the second TA album (he used the LTE kit on SMPTe and the US tour: you can hear the timbalitos on SMPTe and Live in America, and you can see the kit on the cover of LiA), and the kit used in OSI was *based* on the right side of the Siamese, not the right side of the Siamese itself. Might also be worth listing the 'Mini-Monster' used on the South American tour last year and the stripped down setup Mike has used on the new OSI - just a kick drum, single timbalito, a rack tom, snare and cymbals I think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.84.106.248 (talk • contribs) 21:01, February 2, 2006 (UTC)
May I ask why the Anthony Mendez deal of 2003 isn't mentioned in here? For those who don't know, in 2003 a man by the name of Anthony Mendez fooled many people and went around saying he was Mike Portnoy. I don't have time to add it myself, though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.250.55.74 (talk • contribs) 01:00, June 28, 2006 (UTC)

- I'd translate it to "port + adjective suffix" ("portian", "porter", etc.) as a native speaker of Russian. --84.249.253.201 00:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
the article first says that he won 21 awards, and then later says that he won 20 awards. Which is it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shapirog (talk • contribs) 20:39, October 1, 2006 (UTC)
