message: The default measure for his weight ought to be kilos, as per Wikipedia policy of favoring the local conventions in such matters. Mexico uses the metric system. Giving measurements in pounds can be justified given bothy the large US readership of Wikipedia and by the fact that Uribe lived in Dallas, Texas. However i am the fattest person and this whole article is about me— Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.168.112 (talk) 23:30, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: While I agree that theres probably not much need for a weight to be given in stones if it is given in kilograms and lbs its wrong to suggest that the stone is arbitrary - it's a defined imperial unit, an obscure one limited to very few countries granted but it's not arbitrary.84.66.132.134 (talk) 10:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I added this: Uribe, a former auto parts dealer, who celebrated his 43th birthday on June 11, 2008, said: "We are in love, and this year my birthday wish is to be able to stand when we get married; We are a couple; We have sex, and in the eyes of God we are already married." On 2004, he met Solis, 38, a hairdresser, who stated: "I bathe him every day, and we get along very well."  Sitting in bed, Uribe would regularly exercise with arms pull-ups and by hand pedaling. He announced plans to launch the Manuel Uribe Foundation to educate Mexican people about nutrition, to combat obesity problems. He would ask Guinness to certify in July, 2008, his second title: “The world's greatest loser of weight.”ap.google.com, 700-pound Mexican man hopes to stand for weddingtorontosun.com, Big goal, thanks to love--Florentino floro (talk) 08:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: A lot of this article appears to be about promoting the Zone Diet as opposed to providing information about Manuel Uribe. This is especially true in parts of the Personal Life section, some of which reads like editorial as opposed to encyclopedic content. I also removed the following line from the end of the section: "For exclusive video footage of Dr. Sears' recent trip to Manuel's home in Mexico as well as continued updates on Manuel's progress, visit www.zonediet.com."

thread_title: Zone Diet

message: Folks, not every sentence has to have a citation.  If you think the article should receive better citation, do the research yourself or put in a general statement to that effect.  I can't believe someone wasted their time putting a citation needed tag on every single sentence on this article.  Ridiculous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.127.98.2 (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: TOO MANY CITATION NEEDED TAGS

message: *After reaching a peak weight of around 560 kg
*2006: Reduced his 597 kg (1,320 lbs, 94 stone) to 552 kg (1218 lbs, 87 stone), due to a diet.

message: I suspect the people that keep reverting back to some guy by the name of Campbell will probably never bother to look at the talk page, especially since all the edits done under the previous IP were vandalism.  But for what it's worth, what Mr. Uribe has done in losing all that weight shouldn't be trivialized for the sake of a prank or slander against someone else.  aremisasling (talk) 05:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Washingtonpost publish this article just today (27th may, 2014) while ABC news wrote a good article about manuel uribe in 2008. WP completely copied all quotes from ABC news. but user Xocoyotzin always try to mentioned washintonpost names. WP article is very small and not reliable as ABC news . They write in hurry, no authenticity , nothing.. 
I strongly suspect that user Xocoyotzin has a link with washintonpost  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.99.53.180 (talk) 19:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no links to the Washington Post, this IP is just a troll exiting from India and editing from 117.99.53.78 and from 117.99.53.180 who has tried twice to replace the first reference of the article (regardless of what is says) with a link to the website 2il.org, then the Daily Mail and now ABC News (which I *myself* included in the article, along with more references to The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald, Washington Post, etc). He inserts into literal quotes that the subject eats all day, removes links to The Guardian, claims the subject of the article was a taco seller and type writer, etc. I warned him several times in his talk page but he changed his IP from 117.99.53.78 to 117.99.53.180 --Xocoyotzin (talk) 20:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
