Talk:Jakob Dylan

Shameless Plug
I removed this from the wiki because to me it sounded like a shameless plug by somebody at this festival(Voodoo Experience)... "Jakob Dylan and the Three Legs have just been added to the already stellar Voodoo Experience lineup which will take place over Halloween weekend 2010 in New Orleans, LA." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.109.1.11 (talk) 03:28, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Court Yard Hounds
Would Jakob's collaboration with the Court Yard Hounds be worthy of a mention? |News article Samatva (talk) 22:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Old untitled comments
http://www.tv.com/jakob-dylan/person/430101/summary.html is full of misinformation. Many of the so-called trivia items are false. For example, Jakob Dylan was born in New York, not Minnesota; he is the only songwriter for The Wallflowers, not "the main one"; he has recorded five albums with The Wallflowers, not four; etc. This web page can be edited by anyone and false information can be deliberately planted to "support" so-called "facts" for other Wikipedia pages. Therefore, this link is highly unreliable in serving as a reference for the statement that Heather Dylan is Jakob Dylan's adopted daughter. Separatehorns (talk) 21:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Separatehorns

I thought that Mr. Dylan met his present wife at Parsons School of Design in NYC?? shymoon06:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Protection of Document
I requested protection of this document due to the dispute over claims made by a particular editor that Jakob Dylan adopted a daughter in 1997 and that Jakob Dylan and his family live in Pennsylvania. No validated or reliable references have been provided to prove any of the above to be true. Each time this information is removed from the bio, it is immediately reverted by the editor or his/her friends. Currently a bio about "Heather Dylan", the supposed adopted daughter, is on review for deletion on suspicion of hoax. Once the outcome of that process is finished, I hope we can reach consensus and request protection be cancelled. Daffidd (talk) 12:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's dumb for someone to make up lies about Jakob Dylan. He's not famous enough for anyone but his fans to care. We don't know very much about his kids but he has always said how many kids he has, their gender and the range of their ages (ie: from 8 to 11). He barely says anything about his kids. He wants them to have privacy so he doesn't tell their names, but he doesn't lie about the fact that they exist. That's just stupid. That story is so fake. In a recent interview (May 2008) he said that he has four boys from the ages 6 months to 13 years. A few photos exist with him, his wife and his kids and I've seen them and there are no girls besides his wife in the photos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dylan369 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Update: The offending article about Heather Dylan has been deleted and protected against recreation. As well, the author and several of his/her friends have been blocked indefinitely. I've asked for Jakob Dylan's bio to be un-protected. This is pending. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daffidd (talk • contribs) 22:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

With the release of Seeing Things on June 10, 2008, the Jakob Dylan page needs to have the tense updated regarding this album. I'd update the page but clearly it's protected.--Mseanbrown (talk) 22:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.ticketmaster.com/KMTT-Mountain-Music-Fest-tickets/artist/1441003?tm_link=edp_Artist_Name
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 07:23, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

You Showed Me cover
Small nit to pick. You Showed Me was a Byrds tune written by McGuinn and Gene Clark. The Turtles' version was a cover. Was going to change the info in the article, but am going to mull it over for a bit in case someone wants to chime in here. THX1136 (talk) 18:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposal to reduce section on The Wallflowers
Seems more about the band than Dylan’s involvement and could probably be cut down Slowtationjet (talk) 02:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


 * He says the Wallflowers is his solo project and he is the heart of that music. He's the only consistent piece of that and wrote every song, so if that is made clear, then it would be fine to trim it down if the same info is found on the Wallflowers. oncamera  (talk page) 02:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
