replies: text: It is "downplayed" because it has rarely been anything more than indirectly mentioned, and the few times where it was direct topic specifics have still not been given.  Frankly, there's nothing to state other than gossip and hearsay.  There are quite a few reasons to not include such loose information, not the least of which being that it's not anybody's business. :P --Human.v2.0 (talk) 01:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly disagree that it's "not anybody's business." Illnesses are notable things, and this illness also affects the release schedule of a notable work. I believe if there were a reference on the topic, it would belong in this article. 74.67.190.120 (talk) 15:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are no references so the point of moot.  Any details available would only be able to be gained through original research of the snooping and stalking kind. Hence it is pretty moot. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 21:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  On his blog, starting at the entry for 7/7/07 (scroll down a bit) Mr. Burlew states that he has changed the schedule of the comic from its original Monday/Wednesday/Friday format, and has cancelled numerous appearances at conventions, due to his illness.  There it is, sourced, verified, and significant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.225.251 (talk) 22:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

text: And if you feel the need to incorporate it, then feel free to do so.  I don't find it noteworthy enough for inclusion; if for no other reason, I cannot think of a webcomic that has not had schedule changes due to personal-life/professional-life/various complications.  Maybe my view on the matter is the minority.  That's why I'm not removing any valid additions on the matter.  I can see your viewpoint on the matter, and off the top of my head I can think of Poison Elves/Drew Hayes as a somewhat similar example; then again in the case of the late Mr. Hayes there was no forwarning and "dire consequences", where in this case there is mention without discussion and minor consequences.  It appears, to me at least, to be a trivial matter deliberately not discussed by Mr. Burlew due to reasons of privacy and all-in-all not worthy of inclusion.  You're free to do as you wish however, within the bounds of Wikipedia guidelines and policies. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 03:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoa.  Since when are people on the internet thoughtful and respectful of other people's opinions?  I do think Mr. Burlew's health is fairly important, but I don't really feel comfortable deciding the matter.  I'll leave the info here in case somebody with a stronger opinion comes along.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.226.238 (talk) 03:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Picture

message: The proper title of the comic is "The Order of the Stick".  It should not be shortened to just "Order of the Stick" (without the "The"), unless it is being quoted from a source that way.  For example, if someone says "I think Order of the Stick is the best webcomic ever", then you quote it that way, but otherwise we should use "The Order of the Stick" in all instances. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 16:12, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
