Talk:Paul Mooney (comedian)

message: Hi all, I have finished expanding this article.  There is a limited amount of information available on the subject, and could use some additional expanding (e.g., birth date, specific place of birth).  Have any comments or anything else to say?  Post it here! --TheKMan 04:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Newly Expanded

message: *It seems in the past someone has been removing content on these pages referring to the comedian Mooney, and continues to replace it with text referring to the software developer/blogger Mooney.  To whoever it is, before you try it again with the newly expanded article, could you please post your reasoning here?  To others, feel free to discuss this. --TheKMan 04:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Regarding the "other" Mooney

message: Looks like  took your advice, albeit not too well: he or she added the blank entry Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Mooney to today's AfD page. He or she also added, for some reason, the blank entry Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Think Tank -- maybe this makes sense to the editors here. --Calton | Talk 06:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Step 2 of Resolving disputes has been implemented, in the form of Requests for comment.  This talk page has been posted under Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Media%2C art and literature.  I'm hoping that this will be constructive, and that the comments of others from the Wikipedia community will help resolve the dispute at hand.  The main issue is the subject on the Paul Mooney article.  Another person by this name continues to replace the article with alternative content.  Please refer to the edit histories of both the article page and this talk page. Seeking any and all comments. — TheKMantalk 08:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: the line about not knowing where mama came up with the "nickname" mooney seems a bit ridiculous, given that PAUL MUNI was the top hollywood star right around mama's time.  it's like having a kid named frank and your uncle starts calling him "sinatra".  would anyone ever say "i wonder where he came up with that?"
for that matter, there should be a redirect (hat top or w/e they're called).  lotta people looking for paul muni are going to attempt "mooney" or "moony" first.
there's one in the other direction on muni's page.  there should be one here.  67.150.84.204 (talk) 00:55, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yet another Paul Mooney (sorta) 

message: II added info about his being pulled from the stage at the Apollo. I had originall entitled the section "Banned from the Apollo" however I don't believe he was banned from the Apollo, which is owned by the public, just the TV show Showtime at the Apollo which is owned by Time Warner.

message: :Image:Negrodamus.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: By the way, tracee ross does not constitute a crowd of people walking out. paul mooney is hilarious, and he tells it like it is. wikipedia articles should be written from a factual, unbiased point of view; this article is everything but that. no wonder people don't want to use wikipedia as a dependable source!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cobaahema (talk • contribs) 17:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, if you're going to write about a new subject you need to create a new section as I have done for you here. Secondly, nowhere in the article does it say "a crowd of people walked out". Examples are cited when certain people have walked out. Please read WP:Policies and guidelines.

message: I disagree with these types of sections being added. There are no reliable, third-party sources being cited regarding Paul Mooney being a misogynist, disrespector of women, etc. The source being referenced is your interpretation and opinion of a Paul Mooney comedic performance. If you feel that such a section is warranted, please provide reliable, third party sources covering this subject matter or feel free to use this talk page to try to build consensus.

message: I checked the sources for the Boston bombing comedy routine, but there is only one and it is a tweet and the article is behind a paywall.
Should this really be on wikipedia?
Mooney however did defend himself though, but walkouts are common it seems on his routines but at least provide a legitimate source.

replies: text: I agree, but I tried unsuccessfully to use Template:DISPLAYTITLE, and also failed in trying to move the page. Would an editor smarter than the both of us care to weigh in? –Matthew - (talk) 04:26, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  De-italicize title 

message: The information provided under the 'Personal Life' header appears to just be a continuation of the 'Contriversies’ section.  Personal Life should include things like hobbies, interests, personal relationships, etc etc.  I suggest deleting the person life header.  As to the content I don't think that's properly cited either.  It's double hearsay from a source with no established credibility.  But that should be for another discussion.

message: The sentence would be more accurate if it just said "Chappelle left the show." Not only is "due to stress" inaccurate reasoning as to why he left, but it's entirely irrelevant to this article about Mr. Mooney. 161.97.197.190 (talk) 18:24, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
