Comedian makes jokes; pearls were clutched
Dear, User:TSP I see no need to include on this page the wailing from pundits due to and Twitter's response to a comedian's jokes (referring to the latest "furor" in particular). Wikipedia is not the Burn Book from Mean Girls where you "update" it anytime your or your peers' feathers are ruffled. Be mature and strive for objectivity at all times.

 * Hi JKRichard,
 * You should perhaps refamiliarise yourself with the core content policies of Wikipedia.
 * WP:NPOV says, "Neutrality requires that each article or other page in the mainspace fairly represents all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources".
 * These activities have received significant coverage in published sources, so should be included here.
 * In addition, please avoid personal attacks. TSP (talk) 18:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Improvement to section "Career", subsection "Return to comedy"
Where the article currently reads "On December 31, 2018, a stand-up set from C.K. from Long Island was leaked in which he joked about Auschwitz, non-binary people as well as the victims of the 2018 Parkland shooting, which drew heavy condemnation on social media."

Would it not be more accurate to change this to read: "On December 31, 2018, a fan-recorded stand-up set from C.K. from the comedy club Governor's in Levittown, NY was leaked in which he joked about Auschwitz, non-binary people, as well as the victims of the 2018 Parkland shooting, which was subsequently seen as controversial on social media."

This fixes grammar and provides a more specific location and source of the material. Although there are quite a number of vocal sources critical of this material, there is also a large group of comedy fans defending his style of provocative comedy on the original leaked video and comments sections of many of the cited sources—therefore it would be more accurate to consider the reaction "controversial" since there is no consensus of opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:191:200:4156:45A:A15F:F514:CFC1 (talk) 05:54, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Philanthropy section relevance
Observation: most people and BLP articles don't have sections highlighting their philanthropy (except for those who are notable primarily or solely through their philanthropy, of course). Clearly, CK's philanthropy (like many rich people) is not inconsiderable, but is it noteworthy and is its inclusion on Wikipedia here appropriate? 194.53.185.234 (talk) 16:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've seen quite a number of BLP articles on Wikipedia that discuss the subject's philanthropy. The section is referenced with third-party sources, so I don't see any reason to remove the information, although the information doesn't necessarily need to have its own, devoted section. So if someone wants to move this information into the "Personal life" section, then that would be fine too, I suppose. --Jpcase (talk) 16:32, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 September 2019
Change the website from louisck.net back to LouisCK.com. louisck.net is a hacker exploit site that is not controlled by the comedian Louis CK or any of his representatives. Fortheloveofwisdom (talk) 23:13, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: I've removed the link to the .net site. I didn't add the .com site, because it says it's closed. NiciVampireHeart 08:33, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Louis CK Personal Life with Blanche Gardin
The current version of the article state that Louis CK and Blanche Gardin have broke up but there are no official sources for that. The "source" cited in the article is a reupload of a standup scene of Blanche in 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs1FWH4l8pA) which is totally out of subject. Here is the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeUtQsHCit8 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.163.189.61 (talk) 03:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
