replies: text: Given that the show openly promotes vandalism of Wikipedia and this page in particular, you can only assume the semi-protection is appropriate until the show has finished its run for the year (or the hosts get bored of wikipedia and move on to the next running gag, whichever happens first).

thread_title:  Page Protection 

message: In the introduction the article claims that Get This can "be heard between 9am-10am weekdays on Triple M" This is not correct and should be changed to reflect nationwide broadcast times to something like: Get This can be heard weekedays on Triple M between 9am-10am in Melboure, Sydney and Brisbane and 5pm-6pm in Adelaide.

The Notable Events section is getting ridiculous. This is an encyclopedia article about a radio show, not a fan site. What possible purpose could listing all the topics mentioned by the show have? That section should be culled at least. Aceya 13:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Get This has its own website. There's even a link to it at the end of this article. Hence is there any point to sections of this encycopedia entry dedicated to outlning what ringtones and other rubbish is available on the website?
Same goes for documenting what catch phrases the hosts use on air. Of what possible use is this information to anyone? 
It's an encyclopedia entry. If you want to start a fan site which recounts everything you heard on the radio show why not just do that instead. If you want to tell someone something funny you heard try telling your friends.
Seriously, it's a radio show that's been running for 7 months. If the same recounting of every guest, catch phrase and gimmick was brought to bear on the entry for 
The Late Show With David Letterman Wikipedia would double in size.

message: Does anyone think that Tony's on-air sketches go wayyy too long?.  On the 9 February 2007 episode, he did one about a "press conference" relating to soft drinks and it was not amusing and went to long...I think he has a tendancy to do this quite often. --Mikecraig 00:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tony Martin's sketches 

message: I think there needs to be more mention of the new 2 hour format with significantly increased music content and Tony Martin's obvious disaproval.

thread_title:  Get This new 2007 two hour format 

message: "Martin recently boasted Get This as having the most downloaded podcast in the Australian radio market."  
Where is the 3rd party source that this fact is true?  Is there is a list/ratings of what podcasts are the most downloaded in Australia?  One problem with Get This is the hosts quite often make statements that are not factual or are part of a on-air joke/sketch.  If there is a source apart from the hosts making a statement on-air, then this is worthy to be put back up there....if not then no POV statements..etc should be put on the article. --Mikecraig 22:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This exact listing you're after is for statistics purposes used internally in the network. Therefore, it will not be available to the public to view eg. downloaded from the internet. --Fromtheditch 14:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Any stats/ratings..etc re: "Australian radio market" is always available in some shape or form, so I find that very hard to believe.   Something like this is always published in the media (TV, press..etc) especially when it comes to radio shows and stations as it is normally a fiercely competitive market (esp between AM and FM stations) and I find it hard to believe that Austereo would not be putting out press releases regarding this "supposed achievement"! --Mikecraig 04:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry to tell you, but I do work for the company (but my comments do not represent them). This is an internal achievement which does not need to have a massive press release for it. No need to get your knickers in a knot. Not "any" stats/ratings for "Australian radio market" are available. --Fromtheditch 15:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless if you work for them or not, how can it be an "internal" achievement if this so-called "most downloaded podcast in the Australian radio market" would be competing against other radio networks and shows who have podcasts (and possibly other Austereo stations and shows) where normally an industry group/body would be compiling the data to keep tabs on this type of thing (eg: ACNielsen Media, OzTAM...etc) and publish reports, ratings, stats..etc.  Official WP Policy is that "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy".  Nuff said --Mikecraig 05:26, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didn't say anything about printing it on the main page nor was I saying to put up the statements you keep removing - I was trying to explain to you where the sources were from where Tony was making reference to. There isn't any official podcast data listing, the closest thing are lisitngs like the subscriptions on iTunes. There are some releases which are only available to interested companies and not to the public. I was stating why there wouldn't be any access to the evidence you were after. Period. Fromtheditch 05:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  Brebster, is it possible to find reference from iTunes whether the statement is true? --Ninevah 11:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ninevah, I'm not too sure about this - I've had a quick browse around iTunes but couldn't find anything.  Like I said, Martin was only comparing his show with another Austereo show so the figures were probably internal. Brebster 04:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

If you still think you need citation, you will need to cite Nikki Hamilton as well and a whole bunch of other stuff too, which makes this page a bit of a flaw trying to cite things via media releases or anything else that's based on the web only.

I might be a bit bias though. Thanks --MattyC3350 11:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Tony Martin refers to the petition virtually every day, often annoucing the URL and suggesting that people visit the   site. Certain people may hate the fact that the Get This Wiki has a link to a petition but they need to face the fact that this petition (which is the only petition) is now an integral part of the story. Wiki readers deserve the opportunity to follow the link to the petition and read for themselves some of the many comments that Tony Martin is reading out on air.--Qualal 04:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The petition has been placed in many different sections of the article but it is always removed without a proper explanation (they even removed it when it was a properly cited reference). You can put it up if you want but there are about three people who monitor this page 24/7 who will remove it. It's strange because what they are doing actually contradicts the whole purpose of Wikipedia. I think their pride is the only thing keeping the petition off actually.58.108.9.162 08:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

text: You would at least think that the people that started/running the "Get This" wiki page would display the url for the petition since they must be fans of the show, plus once it goes off the air then this page will slowly slip away from the popular place is has become...
