Talk:Tony Martin (comedian)

message: Just a quick note to say that I removed the line about "the dismissal of Triple M DJ Michael Tunn" because it was unrelated to the start of Tony's show. (The Adelaide Advertiser article did losely suggest it, but Tony is Melbourne based.)

replies: text: uhh...Nothing like it --Mikecraig 20:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The above comment suggesting the photos were identical was posted from an internet service provider in Victoria  and seemed to anticipate vandalism by 8 minutes from a registered user.  That vandalism was reverted 3 minutes later.--Golden Wattle  talk 22:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think the vandalism occurred first (at 23:57 22 November 2006 (UTC)) and then the comment was posted nearly 12 hours later (at 11:45 23 November 2006 (UTC)), by which time the vandalism had long since been reverted. --DH85868993 23:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes that's right.  Perhaps it was to do with the cache in some way - perhaps the user's own cache!--Golden Wattle  talk 23:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: From that post today "In April 2007, it was rumoured that Get This would be moving to the drive time slot if ratings of the show's current timeslot did not improve.[citation needed]" - I wonder who has cooked this up?  At present Wil & Lehmo is in the drivetime slot and I can't see Triple M making a change this quick ? --Mikecraig 04:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: I recently heard on one of the Get This podcasts that Tony Martin and Long time friend Mick Molloy are going to be battling each other out in court over DVD extra's. They did not exacly say much about it (as Tony was advised by his lawyers) but im guessing its because of the "Boytown Confidential" extra content that was only distributed on the website rather then on the DVD itself. Like I said though thats the only thing I can put it down to —Preceding unsigned comment added by MattyC3350 (talk • contribs)

message: I just noticed at the bottom of the page some code has become visable, not sure how to correct this as I dont know what is ment to be there and was is not. Also I noticed that there is a entry about Tony working on a new book for 2008, could a source for this please be placed here to back this up? Cheers --MattyC3350 (talk) 07:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

text: *I noticed at the Get This Wiki that Tony Martin has brought out a new book (as I asked about getting sourced as above). As I am at work I can only access a few sites and cannot find any ref  to see. Could someone have a search around or I will take a look around when I get some free time someday.

thread_title:  Prob on page/New Book Source? 

message: I was just wondering is it correct that when I do a search for Tony's wife "Annie Maver" that it takes me to Tony Martins page. With only a few words about her in the article? --MattyC3350 (talk) 05:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess it's the best solution until she becomes notable enough to deserve her own article. DH85868993 (talk) 05:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

text: * I just think over people might not understand why it redirects here. As when it gets to Tony Martin pages there is not a word about her till you scroll down to the correct sentence, that only states that she is his wife and how they meet (I had to scratch my head for a few seconds as I thought it was a re-direct fault). MattyC3350 (talk) 11:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've edited the redirect so it now points to the "Personal life" section of the article, so hopefully that might make things a bit clearer(?) Other options include proposing the redirect for deletion, or converting it into an article, neither of which I would oppose. DH85868993 (talk) 13:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: * I have had a look around on the net for more information on Annie but at this point not much seems to be coming up. Thanks for fixing the link so it made more sense. MattyC3350 (talk) 13:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I suspect it's bogus - Google shows nothing, there's no mention at www.champagnecomedy.com and as you pointed out, the quoted "source" (www.scrivenersfancy.com) is suspended.
