Talk:List of nicknames used by George W. Bush

message: Since when is Wikipedia using speculative statements as fact?  I was just here to look for something and that made me laugh, so I took out the sentence.  Keith Olbermann's speculation that it came from being Skull and Bones is laughable itself, but on Wikipedia?  I use nicknames and so does a friend of mine, and neither of us went to Yale, much less be members of Skull and Bones.  Most of us give people nicknames affectionately.    
I know this article is old and I see it has been contentious, but as a natural skeptic and an active critic of inappropriate bias everywhere, there's no way I can let that slide.  99.107.159.25 (talk) 03:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's notable that Doonsbury makes fun of Bush. Gary Trudeau's a partisan Democrat. If that comes to that, I don't really think that Bush uses nicknames is particularly significant either.--Mokru 04:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The Clymer reference does not appear to be a nickname, but rather a spur of the moment name-calling. If you called a friend of yours a "jerk" in the heat of the moment, would you add that to your list of nicknames you use for that person. I think not.
Also, I think we could find a bunch of names he has called Osama and Saddam over the years, but I doubt they would be considered nicknames. NoSeptember 13:52, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Sould 'Yo, Blair" be added here as Bush's private reference to Tony Blair? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.197.129.54 (talk • contribs) .
:Reliable sources and evidence of notability, please. Can we demonstrate that he consistently uses this nickname? Luna Santin 10:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Yo, Blair" is not a nickname. It is an informal greeting followed by Blair's actual name. -Silence 12:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the stupidest conversation I have ever seen in my entire life. That's a sentence using slang. I can't believe someone would think of that as a nickname. Heh. --165.123.227.7 (talk) 02:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Somebody excised an entry. That entry was sourced. I was going to restore it, on the grounds that there should be a source offered on the talk page, justifying the entries removal.
Then I saw the remover had offered a source, of sorts, in their edit summary. We can't click through entries like that one in an edit summary. Here is a link to a mirror of a National Review article that casts doubt on the entry.

message: They hardly sound unique to Bush; anyone could call Stephen Harper "Steve," and "Condi" is a widely reported nickname for Sec. Rice. --SchutteGod 70.181.162.179 (talk) 16:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
