message: (NPOV)My goodness, could this entry possibly be any _more_ sycophantic? It's embarrassingly hagiographic. A little modulation of tone would allow Wikipedia to further maintain whatever pretense of professionalism still remains. palecur
:My god, I had no idea hagiographic was a word.  Props to you. -Etoile
:Is it NPOV for or against Mr. Gravy?
:Sycophantic means that its a little too kind to the subject.
:I can't believe palecur is contesting this page's fairness. Palecur, if you have something to say that throws a different light on Wavy Gravy, please elaborate. Baseless inuendo accomplishes nothing. Your lack of specifics in your complaint do not help wikipedia either.
:Let me use big words to show how smart intelligent I am.  I profusely believe that the banalyzation of this page will result in the pandiculatory polemic of which we are all laconically obfuscied?  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.  I am smrt.  Carter Somerville 00:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe palecur is referring specifically to the "All Access" section, which does read like a eulogy.--192.58.204.226 22:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: At least two users who regularly correct ISBNs on WP have been unable to find the correct ISBN for the following
:*80s are the 60s (2002; RX Records; ISBN 6306057811 )
If this is an audio recording, it most likely does not have an ISBN. I am removing the ISBN from the page. If this solution does not work for you, please advise. Keesiewonder talk 23:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know what the issue was about this particular recording, but audio recordings often DO have ISBN numbers, especially if they are spoken word recordings like audiobooks, lectures, or guided meditations. One can look to Llewellyn Worldwide's catalog for many examples. Sometimes they have both ISBN numbers AND UPC Codes. Rosencomet (talk) 20:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for this?  Also, shouldn't it be "are you wavy gravy," since "Wavy Gravy" was not yet his name, and this seems to be a question to confirm his condition/temperament?

message: The first paragraph of the biography section is just a bunch of name dropping. If those celebrities were formative, then tell us why. The fact that he rubbed elbows with some famous names isn't important.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.76.175 (talk) 23:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The 1930s comic strip Smokey Stover, which is indirectly the source of the term Foo Fighter, had recurring puns along the lines of "Scram - Gravy Ain't Wavey." It might somehow be a pun on gravy boats. The strip was well-known enough that it could possibly have inspired something in the 1960s. I just wanted to point that out, because this article suggests that the name comes from B.B. King saying "wavy gravy," but the origin of the phrase itself isn't discussed. And it could be this. Maybe. Roches (talk) 04:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
