thread_title:  Deletion? 

message: In his I'm Starving he says he quit Hairspray I think it could joke —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.206.165.23 (talk) 06:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On his website, he says the shows run was over. It doesn't appear that he quit, but rather the show was just done its production run. -- Ubergenius 20:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Done with Hairspray

message: This is one of the worst pages I've seen on Wikipedia. John's page didn't even have external links! No Myspace OR official website. I put both in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.252.158 (talk) 04:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't blame the missing external links for the quality. If you check the history, you'll see that I included the official website when I created the page. That's just Wikipedia for you. It's like an undulating ocean of (dis)appearing information :) --Metron4 (talk) 00:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Really Badly Done

message: "Cherub like demenor" WTF?!?! It is a frekkin encyclopedia!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.97.0 (talk) 07:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: People who don't know how to write an encyclodpedia. I agree fully with you there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The quote "cherub-like demeanor" is a repeated line from his own stand-up routines.  But yeah, it should at least be spelled correctly, and attributed, and all the rest.  107.9.45.143 (talk) 21:29, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Who writes these pages?

message: Did he die on the 5th or the 6th?  The article says both.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 01:16, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: April 5th, 2014, according to news media. There are some people vandalizing the page, including random date changes. Taco Viva (talk) 06:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks.  I think, however, that the 5th versus 6th date discrepancy arose from genuine mistake (not vandalism).  I believe that it had to with with "the date is April 5th here in the USA, but it is April 6th when the news was reported in, say, England".  Thanks.   Joseph A.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've seen more biography on people who are practically unknown to the public. John Pinette was a major figure in the world of stand-up comedy. There's far more to him and his life than what appears here. No section for his personal life? I don't think he was married, but that doesn't mean he had no life off-stage. Nothing about his health problems? Or his dramatic weight loss before his death? No mention of what other comedians/celebrities had to say about him? He performed on cruise ships a lot - nothing about that time in his career?
John deserves better than this. What a shame. I wish I could add more myself. MandieJ1975 (talk) 23:27, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. If you don't feel comfortable editing an article, feel free to add a link to a source with a little summary of what you want added on my talk page and I will be more than happy to add something. Here's a list of Reliable Sources. Feel free to Google and find stuff. I have a lot of eggs in the basket and researching is not an option for me at this time.

thread_title:  John deserves better 

message: There's multiple news sources that explain he developed a prescription drug addiction and checked into rehab months before he died. Why was this never mentioned? I'm happy to add it myself, but I feel there may have been a reason why it's not? 209.6.200.92 (talk) 01:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of drug addiction?
