Talk:Mike Dirnt

message: The entry for The Network mentions that Mike is a vegan. If so, we ought to include it, but does anyone have any confirmation (ex. an interview with him) substantiating that claim? Dylan 19:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sort of, in the filming for the American Idiot music video - making of - Mike is eating Chinese chicken salad. I guess that proves he's not a vegan, but I used to think he was. I know Billie used to be a vegetarian. 172.143.124.71 23:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

text: In the Question and Answer section of the Idiot Club, Billie says that none of the members of Green Day are vegetarians.  The Network is fiction.--Jude 08:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there anyone else who thinks this doesn't belong here? Unsubstantiated, irrelevant, worthless information that is most certainly not encyclopedic.--Alhutch 22:20, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: they may be facts, but the question is, do they belong on Wikipedia? I think it is clear that they do not.--Alhutch 22:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

text: I'm not judging by my standards. I am judging by established Wikipedia policy. That's why I referred you to the WP:NOT page. You should familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policy. By the way, blanking critical comments from your own talk page is considered vandalism.--Alhutch 22:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is Mike's bass the same as Sid vicious?It looks the same in Bullet in a Bible and I was wondering if I should put it in the article.I also noticed he has exactly the same hair cut as Sid.

:are you serious?!  Sid Vicious was the worst bassist in history, I don't think Mike Dirnt wants to have anything to do with him.  He and Sid don't have the same hair cut.  Nor do they use the same bass.--Jude 08:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the part about he and Anastasia still being good friends because as nice as it sounds, it's unsourced and irrelavant.  It may be true, but I want to work on sourcing information more often.--Jude 05:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Again... please cite sources guys... we all know that it sounds nice, but it's not sourced.  No one needs to know how often he sees his kid.  It's not information that should be public.--Jude 01:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I took out this lame trivia fact:
* In the Canadian cartoon 6teen there is a character named "Mike Dent" which may be a pun on his name.
Dent is a real last name, and Mike is the most common first name in the US.  This does not belong in Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.41.14.138 (talk) 22:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Recently someone requested citation for a few of the article's quotes, and I couldn't remember where they occurred, but then I recalled that it was Driven right?  Or was it Behind the Music?  I'm not entirely sure.  How would we cite "Driven" or "Behind the Music" as a source being as it's a visual rather than textual interview and it's not readily available to everyone?--JUDE talk 08:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The introduction states that Mike's birthday is May 4, but the infobox says his birthday is April 4. Would someone please fix this coz I don't know which is correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chavmusiksux (talk • contribs) 15:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It says in Woodstock that a guard knocked some of his front teeth out.Since by then all his adult teeth have come in, does that mean that some of his front teeth are fake?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.168.231 (talk) 04:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: In the lead section, it mentions he gained his nickname because he made the sound dirnt, dirnt, dirnt while playing air bass, but in career, it says he gained it by bringing his bass to school and plucking the unamplified strings. Which one is it? Sincerely, --AugustusAudax (talk|contribs) P.S: Aliens exist 13:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
