message: I'm... pretty sure that this article is way longer than it really needs to be. CurtDogg
This is insainly long with 25 headings.  JediMaster_35
The article could have a lot of the sections combined, I must admit. But I will leave that to the consent of more experienced Wikipedia editors Jon Fawkes 03:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The "Morgan's not a gamer" Section 

message: The end of this article seems to stray from the regular guidelines of objectivity. mostly there seems to be an overall sense of "sympathy" towards Webb and Sessler about view mail, the messageboards, etc. This mostly appears at the end of the article but can be seen throughout.

message: I have reverted information in order to keep this article at a neutral point of view, but it looked like there weas some information that could be salvaged.  The edit in question needs to be NPOV'd before it is added back in. -Frazzydee|✍ 20:38, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: It's spelled "Von Webb."  In German, the W is pronounced like the English V.  There's even a screenshot in the article that clearly shows it spelled "Von Webb."  Please, don't change it back to Vebb.  Elwood00 14:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Von Webb

message: This is near the "Sensitive Sess" subsection, and I'm wondering if it is just clutter or if it should be there normally... and if someone more versed in the Wiki's inner workings could elaborate?
It may be a special wikipedia mark-up, but I don't see it on the mark-up thing below the edit box. It may be tag spamming. That section is gone now, so no further speculation is needed Jon Fawkes 03:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  4 Edit Brackets In A Row 

message: Okay, this phrase seems to have lived for years on this page, but I really have no idea what this was supposed to mean:
"The humor on the show is inconsistent, but tends to skew lowbrow."
Would this suggest it takes lowbrow humour and ... dunno, warps it?  Variations on it?  Otherwise, I can't find a suitable definition of "skew" except "to look suspiciously upon", which suggests the opposite (avoid).  I suggested the latter in an edit, but reverted it because reading the article suggested the humour really wasn't all that intellectual (highbrow).
I also found it silly that "lowbrow" linked to "highbrow"... looks like an ancient attempt to avoid a redirect.  But linking a word to its antonym is just wrong.  (The fact that Wikipedia's "lowbrow" is an art style rather than an antonym of "highbrow" is another matter entirely.  I'll bring that up on the appropriate pages.)
Bottom line is, I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill here, but there's only so much I can do to help Wikipedia here, having never actually seen an episode of this show.  I want to fix it, I just don't know how. :)  If someone could just rephrase this entirely (perhaps avoiding the "lowbrow" term altogether), it'd be solved once and for all. -- 64.26.156.49 20:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Skew lowbrow" 

message: I have added another second describing the two major formats the show has used. The show’s format has been large part of show especially in the earlier years which this article unfortunately seems to consist little information about. 
The two points I tried to cover were locations the show was filmed at and how it was filmed. There is plenty of room for these subjects to be expanded on.

message: Should it be mentioned that Sessler and Webb (as does Kevin Periera), seem to be quite hateful towards Christians/Jews. As of what I heard, many Jews seem to be outraged by their somewhat rash jokes. (though Sessler and Webb seem to target Christians the most) I have found many instances of Christian/Judeo bashing, but have found no jokes aimed at Buhdism, Islam, or any other religions.

replies: text: Done. If anyone finds other articles about recurring characters floating around, they should be merged too. I doubt any of them would warrant a seperate article. BryanG 01:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Ratty The Handpuppet]]

message: I've moved the gigantic list of recurring and not-so-recurring characters on the show to its own article to prevent reader fatigue. It also gave me an excuse to give the show its own category. ~ Hibana 01:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[List of X-Play characters]]

message: I'm certainly not against having a criticisms section in this article, but some references for them would be nice, especially since they were all added by one user. They may all be valid points, but I'm always concerned when articles have one of these sections without any source to back their points up - it starts to look more like personal opinion of the editors and less like an encyclopedia. BryanG(talk) 02:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats nice. You can't put a criticism section in just because you have a bone to pick. Any criticism placed in an article has to be verifiable and cannot represent a trivial viewpoint.--Crossmr 14:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  5/5 games 

message: As I write this, an annoymous user has added this address to the links:
http://www.iheartmorganwebb.com/?file=gameratings
Now while I am against having links from the wiki unless they serve a purpose and certainly not merely because a user has added it. 
However it seems to cover the requirements we have asked for above. The site apparently uses X-Play Game Ratings and has a vast amount of games on it. You can search by rating, etc, etc.
So I am for leaving it, unless we get a better link to replace it with...
(Just visited, am an RC-Patroller really)

thread_title:  Concerning Ratings 

message: This list is long and unencyclopedic. It doesn't really add anything to the article, and just serves to make a bunch of pointless links. The section should be reduced in size and just a couple of notable example should be given (i.e. if they've got an impression they've used more than others, etc)--Crossmr 06:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Based on the fact that its been a long-running item on the show. Type xplay aquaman into google and you will get all the information anyone could ever want. The (useless) citation would be x-play 3/31/2006.  If you are not familiar with the show, you should not be heavily cleaning up any section and it would be more helpful if you would work to get citations rather than removing valid information. 12.96.162.45 18:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: its not my job to cite your information. If you can provide a valid reliable source for the information then it can be included. WP:V places the burden on you for wanting the material included.--Crossmr 00:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your WP:V comment is out of line in that I gave you the citation (x-play 3/31/2006) and in that I have not made (or proposed) any changes. If you are unfamiliar with xplay, either go off and become familiar or go be an editor on something you are familiar with. There is no value in having articles edited by those who are ignorant of the subject. 12.96.162.45 20:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No. There is no evidence its notable outside the show, and from the lack of effort being made on the other X-Play sub-articles it looks like they're going to the chopping block as being unsourced and non-neutral.--Crossmr 15:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  X-Play the musical 

message: Since the Classic G4 was based on video games and G4 isn't basing their channel on that anymore, but now men or something, since X-Play is the highest rated show wouldn't it make sense to return more of the classic shows if this is getting the best ratings?  koji toa of ice  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Koji toa of ice (talk • contribs). 
I suppose it would, but this isn't a message board for chatting about such things.  This is the discussion board for the X-Play Wikipedia page.  And opinions such as that should not be a part of this page.  While I do agree that it would be nice to see more of the old shows come back, this simply isn't the place to talk about it.

message: I'm still having trouble getting over what was missed.  If you were all true X-play fans like me, I would already see a mention of Aquaman in there.  And a whole topic on Aquaman, including the golden mullet awars, and such.  Sorry I can't do this, I'm only a minor editor.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andokool12 (talk • contribs). 
Speaking of this section, I found this:
*Themselves: Though better explained before this was removed previously, they have given subtle clues (probably, again, the former explanation was better) that they hate what the station has become.
What was removed prevoiusly? This needs rephrasing. --Jedravent 17:52, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In the intro, when Adam is fighting the demons (or somethin like that) he performs a flying kick, followed by another kick, and then a third (I'm assuming that it's the Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku or something similar). This is exactly like the intro fight scene in Street Fighter Alpha: Generations. Goutetsu does the exact same same thing to Gouki within the first 3 minutes of the fight.

thread_title:  Street Fighter Reference? 

message: Ok honestly X-play had already a hurt reputation but giving a game like crisis core a 2 out of 5 for not being translated from japanese to enligh perfectly is like a nail in the coffen. The only reason G4 hasen't pulled the plug on this show is because the ratings this show brings in keeps G4 afloat. If they made another review show and scratched this one I can bet that it will get 2 times as many more ratings then X-play and if they add in some actualy funny humor then it might be the biggest video game show on television.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.41.21 (talk) 21:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  X-Play 

message: I am watching it right now as I speak because apparently G4 made a return and it’s listed on my YouTube TV channel guide. I checked and apparently the new G4 network launched back in November of 2021. I just thought I should bring this to everyone’s attention. 137.25.129.153 (talk) 07:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this article going to mention the show’s return? 

message: It's been almost a year since the controversy over racist jokes and skits in past X-Play episodes happened, and there isn't really any mention of it on the page. After some Google searching, I found one article that comprehensively goes over the controversy, though unfortunately it's the only article I could find with a neutral tone of voice. Not sure if this is enough to permit a mention on the controversy on the article or not, seeing as how said controversy prompted a good amount of talk about the show's relationship with racist and xenophobic attitudes among large portions of the gaming community.
