message: Took out my last thing since the page looks nice. (: Also, I'm changing Spoon's indianred to brown. If anyone doesn't like that (if it's too dark or something) then revert. It's just that the coral and the indianred are too similar, in my opinion. Or whatever colour I have. And the brown looks red. o.0-Babylon pride 03:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is that directed at me? I'm assuming it is since it's directly under my post. I'm not doing that, I don't think, since I have Firefox and I preview things before I post. So... yeah. If I am, sorry. I just try to replace the colours people change. -Babylon pride 22:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, sorry.  I just posted it under your "Colours" heading because it was relevant to colors.  If I had been replying to you, I would've indented my post, as you've done.  Sorry for the confusion. -Warren M 23:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Not only did VH-1 know there were actors/PUAs in the club, they knew there were MODELS in the club as targets.  One of the models got pissed when she didn't get the acting credit she was promised and posted about it all over.  Another target was shown to be Evan, Herbal's ex.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.95.92 (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: What are you kidding me? The link for Mike Long goes to some Magic the Gathering professional game player. Whoever edited this article must have been really eager to wikify the page, or the Mystery Method must apparently have a thing for hiring card players as representatives.
Whatever the case, look up Mike Long here on Wikipedia and you'll see that the PR representative for the MM does not have a page, and I wouldn't classify his position as notable enough to merit an article either.

message: Shouldn't this be a separate page? And the description of the show itself reads like a VH1 promo, and the contestant descriptions seem like they're copied and pasted from the official site.  Could we get something a bit more objective, please? Cespence17 (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: there is only 2 seasons in total so far, and the article page is not getting that long. Yet...  However if they should start a 3rd season then it could make sense to spin of each season with their own page to keep the main article slim. Mathmo Talk 05:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

We need more sources! Right now there is only one but this show had a lot more exposure. We need to keep it up as much as we can. Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Satellitedisco (talk • contribs) 22:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

message: calls Mystery a "seduction artist"
what is a seduction artist? 
In this context it could be anything from a guy who wears douchey early 90's fashion in a non-ironic/non retro way, to a classic narcissist, to a simple bullshit artist. Whilst he is a great example of all three, Im not sure its a term that should be used on a wiki page, I mean is it verifiable? 
I can verify that that nobody I know would touch him with someone elses barge pole, let alone their own, but like the term "seduction artist" its not encyclopaedic, so I wouldnt try to include it. Mabey it could be changed by someone who edits?

thread_title:  first paragraph 

message: I propose to delete the sentence about the The Emory Wheel review, since the verdict is rather harsh and/or subjective. Moreover, this is a student-run newspaper distributing 5,500 copies only to its university and surrounding neighborhoods (according to self-published figures from 2008, which makes the latter even more obscure and worthy of deletion in the EW article). I am sure, if there is dire need, more reviews can be found from other, more popular/trusted, sources. Not sure why the reputable wiki member Tokyogirl79 added the sentence on June 18, 2012.
:Update: After leaving this open to discussion for about a month, I just deleted the student newspaper review. Even the AV Club review is actually questionable, as it seems to be written with artistic (here: sarcastic) value in mind, similar to the game reviews in Zero Punctuation (though less elaborate), and not objective. I urge other users to find honest reviews by at least somewhat reputed media. To be clear: I'd be happy to read objective reviews with a negative verdict. 114.247.94.104 (talk) 01:49, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph of the Controversy section appears to be generic controversy about pick-up artists, not specifically the show The Pickup Artist. Suffice to replace with a paragraph about such general criticism and a link to appropriate articles where the broader discussion can be found in depth. - 73.140.122.224 (talk) 17:06, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
