Neutrality dispute
If you are going to dispute the neutrality of an article, please point out what you find biased.

The radio section isnt vandalism
It's an accurate description of what happened. Should be sourced however.

Why do you think he is repugnant? Based on what? That he was in Spiderman?

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, opinions on whether people are repugnant or not have no place in an encyclopedia or even a discussion about an article sir. Seems like a cheap shot to me...for what reason? Eatabullet 19:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I stumbled across this page and found some inaccuracies in the radio section, I am making some minor corrections and adding a citation. Hope I get it all done properly. --Chris Latour (talk) 02:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Follow up. The only source I could find indicated that the women where over 21, not teens as was previously written.  I cited that article.  If anyone has links about the actual arrest please update here and on the Lewis Black page as well.  I'm on my way over there...--Chris Latour (talk) 02:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

section:radio
the entire radio section sounds like vandalism. i don't know enough about the bloke to fix it (and i think he's repugnant), but i suppose somone else should. 58.166.243.40 05:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Although it's safe to assume the edits are done in jest, Wikipedia is a serious effort and not an extension to one's messageboard or comedy routine.

AIDS?
Should the reference to AIDS be removed?

Yes it should be full blown aids.

He doesn't really have AIDS, you know. He makes up most of his stuff on the spur of the moment, similar to how he invented Frank the Frowner.

Facts about Jim Norton
There were a couple of Jim Norton facts that I have added to the site. I had to clean up a few of them (the support of GWB's policies being one of them), but these items are accurate to the best of my knowledge and are not an extension of his comedy routine. He really loves Ozzy and he dislikes Gene Simmons. He also did have a high score in Asteroids. He has mentioned this numerous times on the radio show.

I heard he's got no problem with Gene. In fact, Both times I heard Gene on O & A, Norton had no problem with Gene. 63.66.9.3 15:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

There are rumors circulating Jim Norton and Lilly (producer from the Ron and Fez Show (XM 202, Noon-3pm)) are in a relationship. Speculation on the message boards run wild with accusations based on "on mic" hints from both parties including July 18th hint on the Ron and Fez. Lilly was talking about how she likes knowing the sexual history of her partners when a caller suggested it might help if she just read her partner's best selling book (referring to Happy Endings: Tales of a Meaty Breasted Zilch written by Jim Norton, a tale of sexual deviancy). She professed a cute ignorance to the caller's innuendo, "But I don't know what you are talking about," when the show's host, Ron, suggested sarcastically, "I think he means theoretically." Additional speculation is created from Lilly's attendance at events where she wouldn't usually attend (Lilly attending Bonaroo where Jim performed, and Lilly attending Opie and Anthony's Animation Fest with Jim). As of this post, this rumor has yet to be confirmed on air. TickleMeOzmo (talk) 23:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Jim's politics
Can I ask why this is notable enough to be mentioned in his article, let alone have its own section? He's not a political commentator, he doesn't do political jokes, and he's not very politically active. On top of their irrelevance, his views are pretty difficult to pin down. Does anyone object to me removing this section?

How many times on Leno?
The entry sentence says three times, but later in the article it says 4.

Norton's "Friends"
Artie Lange is listed as one of the comics Norton is friends with, but I've never heard them mention that on the show. I remember them trashing Artie's last movie, plus the fact that Artie is 3rd mic on the Stern show. Anyone? 75.35.245.12 03:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess you haven't been listening long because whenever Artie has been mentioned in the past Jimmy mentioned that he's his buddy. When Artie's movie was trashed by Opie & Anthony Jimmy didn't say a word during the conversation. Back on WNEW he would mention stories about living with Florentine & Artie's drinking were usually brought up in the conversations.--68.192.22.48 04:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Time for a new picture
How about... 

It is public domain.

I agree its definately time for a new picture. Why not get one of him doing standup or in studio, and besides the current photo is blurry Iscream22 (talk) 14:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

What happened to the new picture? I noticed it was changed a few weeks back to a better more clear photo but someone changed it back to the old one. The photo is blurry, someone should put up a good clear photo of him doing standup, that doesn't have copyright issues. Iscream22 (talk) 16:17, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I added a new pic taken in Feb. 2011 when he performed in Portland, Oregon. Bobomejor (talk) 08:57, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

website
His website no longer resolves. Is there an alternative? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.131.183 (talk) 07:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JimNorton.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Official member in the show
In this article it says Opie and Anthony were fired for Sex for Sam 3 before Norton could be made an official member of the show. He was actually hired on as an official member a few weeks before that incident. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.228.3 (talk) 13:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

YouTube sources?
I've taken out material that is only sourced to YouTube, and an IP has reverted, twice. Any comments about why these are good sources? --John (talk) 01:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
