Talk:Mike and the Mad Dog

message: The paragraph regarding the blog as an unauthorized website has no place in this article. First, it is not notable in an of itself. The hosts have mentioned it in passing only, the article is about the show itself. Furthermore, this method of inclusion looks sloppy. If you want to use the Newsday article as a reference to verify notability of the article, fine, but its very obvious your are using the paragraph to promote a blog which we do not do. ZFurther discussion on this talk page is welcomed but I am removing it pending further discussion. -JodyB talk 14:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: GordonGecko has now been told that his edits are inappropriate by two independant administrators and myself.  I would hope that if he continues to add this info, that the proper actions are taken.  We don't have to assume good faith when there is sufficient evidence to the contrary.

replies: text: I went over to the site this morning to give it a more thorough look and found a forum post about this issue. I spoke with the site admin/owner and a few of the regulars, and they now understand the situation, as many already did. The admin removed a request that the forum attempt to overwhelm us with the links, and replaced it with a request specifically asking the regulars not to add links on Wikipedia. The issue should be resolved, as those who I spoke to agree the link failed to meet our policies. - auburnpilot talk 20:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I read the thread there and I must apologize for bringing all of that to your doorstep.  I honestly thought it was a minor issue, but boy was I wrong.  However, I must once again thanks you for doing your duties so diligently. Ramsquire (throw me a line) 22:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unauthorized website 

message: I would like to removed this whole section. It's trivial and has no long-term notability. There's no real "controversy" there. Similar jokes frequently arise on the show and don't deserve a separate section in this article. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:14, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  There is far too much nonsense in this entry, which looks especially ridiculous now that the show is no longer on.  I removed that "Joining the Yankees" section as well as a few other ones that don't seem very newsworthy.  Asc85 (talk) 15:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I reinserted one of the removed sections, the one dealing with Dog going solo and leaving out Mike's name. The event was semi-notable in the history of their show. It was also sourced, something that cannot unfortunately be said about most of the article. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Joining the Yankees? 

message: Mike Francessa is continuing in this time-slot on WFAN and the YES Network.  However, the Mike and the Mad Dog show is over as we know it in its current format and style.  Francessa has stated the new show will be different, so I recommend that any references to the format and style of that show be in a new article and leave this article only for topics on the Mike and the Mad Dog program Rbonaccorso (talk) 14:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  End of the Run/New Show 

message: Hi, there was an article in the NY Post a couple of days ago saying that they changed the way sports was aired on the radio. Basically it said they were the pioneers of "cohosting" in sports radio and now all the successful programs are done by a team.  I can try to dig it up if anyone think it is relevant.

replies: text: I incorporated the historical significance into the lede of the article.  I would like to add it to the body as well. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
