Steven Wright

Is there some reputable source stating he was in the juggalo episode? I didn't remember seeing him, but then I thought "maybe he was the hatchet guy." Turns out his name is David King.

Until someone presents a source for this, I'm removing his mention from the article. 206.127.180.142 (talk) 18:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Irony of title of show?

It was originally completely uncited in the lede that the show's humor was "slacker-based" and the title was ironic. Some time ago someone called this OR and put a tag on it, and the reference that it was a "slacked" comedy was there. Then a CN tag came on the second clause, that the title was intended as irony. I deleted that because it didn't belong on what seemed to be an awkward place, and now that whole phrase has been removed. I think that since it is cited that the main thrust of the show is the main characters' slacker-like attributes and behavior, then under the plain meaning of the words, the title is ironic. And that this doesn't need a source to confirm nor is it Oringal Research or even an informed deduction, but just the plain meaning. JesseRafe (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

A claim that the the intention of whoever chose the title intended it to be ironic definitely requires a citation. Wikipedia:Verifiability requires "all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material". In the circumstances, addition of {{citation needed}} was appropriate. Removal of the tag was not. The phrase was removed because it appears to be original research. --AussieLegend (talk) 21:41, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

All a false alarm, I just could have spent a little longer finding a source, but there is one anyway. I just didn't think it needed a source, as it wasn't OR and it was just the plain meaning of the word. JesseRafe (talk) 23:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

The OR is in claiming that it was intended for the title to be ironic. The source you added just says "the title is ironic", which is altogether different. --AussieLegend (talk) 01:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I got you now. I guess whoever first wrote that copy is similar to me in the use of "intend" or "try" to also mean a softer, less-assertive way of making a statement, so I didn't read it as an actual interpretation of intent. JesseRafe (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Intro

Are they actually college drop outs, or recent college grads? I was under the impression that it was the latter but this article has it as the former. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.182.93.206 (talk) 00:27, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

A note on the reliability of mugshots.com

Tkfy7cf, mugshots.com is nowhere close to sufficiently reliable when it comes to accusations of pedophilia. Please read WP:BLP, particularly this section: Anyone born within the past 115 years is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death. Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death - six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the dead that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or a particularly gruesome crime.. Given that, I'm going to remove the edit until you can find better sources or establish a consensus that mugshots.com is indeed a sufficiently reliable source. If you would like to get an outside opinion, please raise the issue at WP:RSN, the reliable sources noticeboard. Once that's taken care of, you'll still need to clear the hurdle of WP:UNDUE: why would a conviction of an actor playing a minor character belong in an encyclopedia article about the show?
