Talk:Michael Graham (radio personality)

message: I'm not sure I agree with your belief that it meets it. Your prior comments haven't demonstrated a proper concern for it, and I still feel that the tone issues exist with your current edits. With zero attributation and no idea where else you're coming from, not much else can be said, and I can't imagine anything extra coming from it. If you feel that strongly, try an RfC, but I think this is not a good road to head down. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think RfC may be a good route, Jeff. Go ahead and request it. No disrespect intended (truthfully), but I feel that you might be a touch too overprotective of the wording of any edits you have crafted, which makes the opportunity for two individusls to reach any consensus without external input challenging and frustrating, if not downright impossible. I concur with the idea for RfC. Speaking of attitudes, in your future interractions on other pages, maybe you should consider putting your own in check before selecting the title "The never-ending battle". First, it strikes me as a touch smarmy and juvenile. Second, edit wars require the active participation of at least two to happen. Before you type something like thst again, I suggest you step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, and give yourself a moment to think about your own behavior for a change. 68.50.149.214 19:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow. If you want the RfC, be my guest. --badlydrawnjeff talk 00:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The never-ending battle

message: I removed an unsourced section about his marital status and children for BLP reasons. It's not an objection to some of the info being in the article, (although details on the children likely should remain out), however we need sourcing first.--Cube lurker (talk) 17:12, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Today, 7 Feb '11 at about 1:15 PM, Graham announced to his radio audience that Aguilera's flubbing of the The Star-Spangled Banner's lyrics yesterday were the fault of WP because she used WP as her source for the lyrics. Oh really! Please note today's history to view his the trolls at work on his behalf :-( hydnjo (talk) 23:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: He's just repeating what was published other places. Note The Guardian .--Cube lurker (talk) 23:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously ;-) hydnjo (talk) 23:59, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So it's probably more likely that the 'trolls' came out due to the internationally published reports, and not his repeating it on local radio. Don't you think?--Cube lurker (talk) 00:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure. His claim about this incident was immediately followed by a 'rant' against WP in general. To paraphrase, WP has lots of inaccuracies mixed in with some good info - don't trust WP. OK, but the vitriol in his condemnation was quite perceptible. Is there a history between WP and Graham? hydnjo (talk) 00:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In the past there have been BLP violations on this page that haven't given him any reason to like us. And I'm sure it doesn't help when people make unsourced accusations here on the talk page about things that have no relevance to the article itself.--Cube lurker (talk) 01:08, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Michael Graham is a media personality and conservative commentator based in Boston, MA. He's a Boston Herald columnist, a CBS News contributor and hosts a daily podcast for the conservative platform Ricochet.com
Graham is also a regular on George Hook's weekly radio show on Newstalk in Ireland.
EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE OPENING PARAGRAPH SHOULD GO AWAY. It's either factually incorrect or utterly irrelevant. 
Here are the links to substantiate the above:

thread_title: Some proposed changes

message: For years I've ignored the fact that there actually IS a Wikipedia page about me, and I still request--AGAIN--that Wikipedia take it down. Because, really, who cares?  No kid is going to be foiled in his attempt to write a term paper and go "Darn! If only I had that key 'Michael Graham' info!"  But whatever. I've lost this fight.
The problem is that I'm running into people who've used this page to get information related to commercial transactions, and this page is full of incorrect information and ridiculous spin from people who don't like me (once again--why bother? Go hate somebody who really matters) 
And because Wikipedia won't let me correct the page, I'm stuck.  So could somebody please fix the basics:
I live in Boston, not Washington, DC.
I am a contributor for CBS News, I write for the Boston Herald, and I host a podcast on Ricochet.com I also host a weekly radio show on talkRADIO in the UK 
https://www.cbsnews.com/search/?q=michael+graham
http://www.bostonherald.com/users/michael_graham
https://ricochet.com/series/michael-graham-morning/
http://talkradio.co.uk/
And that photo--AWFUL! How about something actually useful?
I won't even get into all the nonsense re: my "controversies," or the weird claims about my career.  What does "Graham parted ways with the station in December 2012 as his contract was not renewed." even mean? WTKK--the talk radio station where I worked-FLIPPED FORMATS TO HIP HOP MUSIC. Of course my "contract wasn't renewed."  And my audition as "Rap Master G-Money" didn't go as well as I'd hoped.
This is why I HATE wikipedia and don't understand why these pages even exist. Look, it could be worse: https://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/charleston/usual-suspects-zwnj-help-ive-been-wikied/Content?oid=1103214
"He commutes to Boston daily by single-engine aircraft from the Provincetown, Massachusetts home he shares with his partner, a novelist." --From the "Michael Graham" article on Wikipedia.org
COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE FIX THIS CRAP? I know Wiki doesn't care, there's no commitment to accuracy, and my politics are "wrong," etc. But maybe some basement dweller is bored enough to make these basic corrections?
I would say "thank you," but I wouldn't mean it. Why do I have to go through this in the first place?
