: Most of these aren't accomplishments. The need to pad out the list with appearances at folk festivals gives the impression that he hasn't achieved a great deal. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:07, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

message: This is in the intro: "originally "  I'm not sure what that is referring to.  Is it the pronunciation of a nickname?  ... discospinster talk 20:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's supposed to be a pronunciation of  Dolce, I think I may have actually seen Joe use a variation on that pronunciation in reference to himself (or possibly the meaning of his surname) as  himself but generally I would have though it is only rendered as  (as used in the article) or  notably a harder 'o' than from Dolce &  Gabanna who use  Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 09:51, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I see that you added this information back into the article. The reason why the information was removed was that it was uncited. I have added a banner at the top indicating this problem. Since this person is living, Wikipedia is much more strict about what can and cannot be in the article (see WP:BLP for more information). Please add citations for the uncited paragraphs, or remove that information from the article. Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 00:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
