Deleting nickname

I'm deleting his nickname "Old go with the flow" per WP:RS given that it was added without a source here. Was tipped off to this when I saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/JoeMande/status/348202634232070146 Almonroth 01:55, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Podcasts

I removed a section effectively listing podcasts on which he's appeared, which is WP:UNDUE and WP:TRIVIA. I'm copying it here in case someone wants to salvage the refs.--— Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:38, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 August 2015

Remove the description and citation/reference of "Internet personality[1]" from the main paragraph.

The article cited does not say anything about nor provide any proof of being an "internet personality" 2602:306:CF6F:A30:B1F2:C9D1:1750:9D4C (talk) 15:02, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. He's known for what he does on the internet: the first words of the reference are "Joe Mande is an internet rascal", which satisfies the definition "someone who has become famous by means of the Internet", from our internet celebrity article.

Mande seeking attention through the Internet

All of you are giving this guy Joe Mande way too much attention than he deserves. He hasn't become moderately-known for his comedy but rather for mentioning the names of people who are actually famous on Twitter and/or in his stand-up, even recruiting ignorant athletes like Blake Griffin to be part of his gimmick. Mande is as successful as a comedian as Trump is as a politician. They both have the position they desired but got the position through gimmicks rather through any kind of skills. Mande is every definition of the words "Internet troll" and based on cited sources has consistently been for years, no matter how much Wikipedia moderators want to make him appear to be just an innocuous comedian. Anyway, how about we stop giving Mande even more Internet attention that he seeks. What is written on his Wikipedia page is true and has been modified and verified by Wikipedia moderator, EricEnfermero. So, how about Wikipedia moderators work both ways and prevent any subjective info on the subject's page to make him look worse while also undoing any blanking of objectively written and cited info to make him look better. Also, if you're going to quote him in saying "I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." be fair and use the entire quote: "I love the fact that these retarded celebrities share their thoughts. That’s my favorite thing. It’s so much fun to do, but I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.137.121.67 (talk) 15:07, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking this discussion to the appropriate place. I should just point out that WP doesn't have moderators and that I don't really hold any role other than plain ol' volunteer. I haven't had any role in fact checking or verifying all of the content here. I just took a stab at making the wording more neutral. I don't object to using the whole quote in the situation mentioned above. EricEnfermero (Talk) 15:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Biased language / consistent vendetta editing

This article is being continuously edited by a person or persons who clearly have a negative view of the subject and wish to convey that with their edits, defending their edits with citations that don't back up the included information (e.g. claiming Mande has struggles with mental illness, with a cited article clearly showing a joking reference in an interview). They revert all attempts to remove biased language and unremarkable / excessive quotation. This activity has apparently been occurring for over a year.

Whether you like the subject or not, attempts should be made to keep a neutral tone. I would suggest removing all but the most basic information and temporarily locking this page against further edits if this activity continues. Fearfulsymmetry (talk) 20:08, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
