message: A citation was needed for the part that stated that the book shipped early and I added it, but I'm not sure if it was written in a proper format. Please correct it if something needs to be changed. KSava 19:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Amazon seem to be shipping the orders early. The UK release wasn't due till June 30, 2006, but mine was delivered today. dbalsdon 15:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I included information about the new newsletter. Delete that when it is sent out and someone should out up the cover of the book when it is revealed. 24.185.195.4 22:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This book is currently (the evening of 3/28/06) listed #1 in sales on Amazon.com. That seems to be of some notability, but I don't track the list, so I don't know how easily books move up and down the list. Maddox has a good number of fans, so it would be expected for the book to sell fairly well. 66.41.212.243 03:12, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Maddox' book is not at all like his website. There is no gratuitous insulting of people, places, or things. There are funny tips and occasionally a rant or two about the subjects. Very funny, but not what fans of Maddox are used to.
Besides being someone's personal opinion, the second statement of the above statement is just plain wrong. Maddox insults women in every single chapter of the book, not to mention the smaller rants directed towards children, old people, and other groups.
Yes, cool, but neither one of you signed your comments, so I guess your input doesn't really count. Going to buy this book tomorrow.. --84.249.252.211 00:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible POV 

message: I think the lengthy book jacket passage ibn probably copyrighted and in any case, the entire text of it is unecessary to get the flavor of the book. The verbatim quotes of disgust from the reverse cover book jacket are too long as well. BabuBhatt 01:02, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really need the link to Real Men Don't Eat Quiche?  Sure, we could link every book about manliness written in the last 50 years, but what's the relevance?  --TimCBaker 22:57, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Maddoxbook.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: As I said, the photo is rather classless and a random photo of Maddox making an obscene gesture does nothing for the article, I can understand it on Maddox_(writer) but here it is rather out of placePstanton 04:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
