message: does he pay for all the samples he uses? can you make money selling songs when you have to pay 50 people before releasing an album?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.11.216.53 (talk) 02:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: He's "from" Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Anyone know whether this is just where he lives now, or whether he grew up there?  (He will often refer to Pittsburgh sports teams at the end of his performances.) 71.246.25.5 04:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: he lives there now. He lived for a brief time in Cleveland, Ohio when he was attending Case Western Reserve University, but he moved back to Pittsburgh to (i believe) hold down a biomedical lab job while he did his music on the side. I haven't confirmed this, but it wouldn't be difficult to.
He was born and raised in Pittsburgh.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Ray (talk • contribs) 22:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: he is often seen jumping up and down, half naked, and girating around his laptop. uh? --Melaen 18:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

message: He's said in a recent pitchfork interview that he's not a big fan of the mashup scene. Maybe the article shouldn't call him a mashup artist.
:But that's what he is, no? Note, Philip Glass doesn't claim his music is minimalist but his article makes light of his minimalist style as well as his claim regarding it. --Anthony5429 07:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "His computer is a Dell." What's the point of this line? It seems really out of place.
Also, this is anecdotally inaccurate.  I distinctly noticed a Toshiba when I saw him in Madison

According to this article http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=721723&category=ARTS&TextPage=2, he uses a Panasonic Toughbook with a Dell as backup in case the F.B.I. confiscates it. 129.2.194.132 (talk) 00:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Technically, since he doesn't use vinyls/any sort of turntable, he shouldn't be labeled as a "DJ". I think that the Illegal Art webpage even has a Girltalk shirt for sale that says "I'm not a DJ". Would anybody mind if I removed the term "DJ" from the page? I didn't want to change everything without asking somebody elses opinion  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.65.242.24 (talk) 04:52, August 28, 2007 (UTC) 
Comment:     While he isn't a DJ, i like to call him a DJ when describing him to people who have not heard his music before.  I try to get everyone to listen to him, and what he does is very similar to what a DJ does.  So if Wiki calls him a DJ, i think thats cool because people who have not heard him before often check wiki to learn about him.

replies: text: Regardless of the fact that calling him a DJ may make it easier to describe his music, he is NOT a DJ, and he has said so himself numerous times. As such I am removing it.  If people come here looking for information about him, they should not receive false information simply because it might make it easier for them to get an idea of what he might sound like. If they don't know what the genres listed mean, they can click on the hyperlinks and find out. I find the idea that an article should be intentional incorrect in order to possibly help ignorant people incredibly offensive. 99.92.179.104 (talk) 01:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Are you guys sure that the picture was taken in Paris??   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.35.231.2 (talk) 08:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the new picture is worse than the old one IMO. The musician's face that's the topic of the page is out of focus.
Is the second picture really of Girl Talk, or is it of Jonathan Snipes from Captain Ahab? 21122012 (talk) 22:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm really confused about Girl Talk's performances...does he just play songs on his computer? Or does anyone know if he actually mixes them while he's playing them? Or are they new mixes? I think this should be noted.

message: According to Amazon and allmusic.com, Unstoppable was released in 2006, not 2004. Is there evidence to the contrary?

message: This article states that he left his job as an engineer, but the source is simply an interview with him in which he states that he has seriously considered leaving his job. Is there a source that confirms that he is committed to his music 100%?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Froomster (talk • contribs) 03:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I think I saw Girl Talk in the new "I'm a PC" commercial. He's the guy with the bandanna and the beard who says "I'm a PC and I play the PC"... I think... I was wondering if anyone else could confirm that that's him and if it should be mentioned in the article. --Pierce123ok (talk) 08:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked around a little. The closest guy I found was in this ad at 14 seconds in. Not really close though... --Travis Thurston+ 04:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nah that's not the one. It's the one where the pc guy starts off by saying "I'm a pc, and I may do things you consider boring". I'm pretty sure girl talks in there. I'll try to find a vid. Pierce123ok (talk) 04:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I saw it last night! Funny that it is the same scene with the girl in the bed again. Except now he has that beard and headband and all. Still no youtube video though. --Travis Thurston+ 16:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Greg Gillis looks nothing like that anymore.  Whether or not it is "funny" or "ironic" is irrelevant; it is outdated information. Can anyone upload a non-copyrighted photo of him that has been taken in the past 1-2 years?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.199.61 (talk) 05:12, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I can't find any reliable source from Girl Talk himself, or his label, indicating that all his music (if any) are creative commons licensed. Perhaps reference of the creative commons license should be removed, as so far, this article is the most official reference of such thing. Balupton (talk) 13:03, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This source labels his AllDay album as being licensed under CC. It's not an independent source, but the subject is far past the bar for notability, so some connected sources can be used. This unimpeachable source describes a documentary depicting the story of the subject and highlighting his use of CC. This source is also very reliable, and discusses the subject's use of CC. None of these are recent, but they were three of the top five Google hits for "girl talk creative commons." Not exactly hard to find. BusterD (talk) 16:43, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
