Talk:The Howard Stern Show/Archive 3

Staff List - what is the logic?
Could someone please explain this to me:

Why is KC Armstrong, a former associate producer, listed under Former Staff, but current associate producers (Will Murray, Jason Kaplan, and, perhaps, JD Harmeyer) not listed under Current Staff?

What is the logic here?

I add Will and Jason, and in no time at all, they are removed from the Current Staff list - but KC Armstrong remains.

Logic dictates that if KC is included, then Will and Jason should be.

Stuttering John, a "behind-the-scenes writer," is on the Former Staff List, so Richard and Sal are included on the Current list, which is logical.

So why the discrepancy with the associate producers?

 * Go ahead and add them. (92.6.225.178 (talk) 01:47, 7 November 2009 (UTC))


 * Why was artie removed from this section? I know he hasn't been on since december 09, but he is still a large part of the show, and is asked about frequently by callers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJGeneral1 (talk • contribs) 15:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Say what?
Can someone tell me what this means: "Because however, the Commission's indecency provisions of Section 1464 was applied since many years, WYSP was only issued a warning." Because however? Because of what however huh? This whole sentence seems mangled and makes no sense. --Captain Infinity (talk)
 * The sentence has been re-written. (92.12.11.172 (talk) 03:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC))

Google hottrend co-relation
I think it bears mentioning here, there have been article about this as well, guests and products discussed on the show regularly appear on google's hottrend list- most searched terms on google. can someone find a link to it.Theo10011 (talk) 12:26, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

General article clean-up
Few things I will work on in the future. Please contribute too!:


 * 1) Removal and replacement (if possible) of Marksfriggin and Brainyhistory references with reliable sources.
 * 2) Selecting content about notable show moments/statistics.
 * 3) Moving any biographical Stern info to the Howard Stern article.
 * 4) Reformatting citations.

Time to Merge the Wack Pack
Unfortunately, Wikipedia is no longer the "Wild West," and as it becomes more staid, academic, and reliable, the free-wheeling and carefree, off-beat cultural articles such as the Wack Pack are no longer considered relevant by Wikepedia's increasingly conservative contributors. Therefore, merging the Wack Pack article into the Stern Show main article makes sense. One should note that many of the articles about Wack Packers have been deleted from Wikipedia as irrelevant. These people are non-persons, like the rest of us 6.93 billion people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Man17018 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

This is a real shame. When I first started listening to Howard I found this article really useful. Now it is a shadow of its former self, and practically useless. Why can't people just leave things alone. TUXLIE 12:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Most of the Wack Pack article still lacks references, and is possibly only verifiable from primary sources. Of the sources cited in the article, one is a dead link that appears to have been a page on someone's personal website (so not a reliable source), the second is probably a reliable source, but is only about one member and doesn't say anything about the group, and the other is Howard Stern's official website, maybe useful for verification but not for notability. Unless additional references with significant coverage are added it doesn't meet the requirements for a separate article and should be merged. A section in the show's article is probably enough, and already contains most of the information. Peter&#160;E.&#160;James (talk) 22:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose Merge: With the books I cited, Wack Pack material will become better sourced over time. Here, in THSS, there's no information about any of the individual wackpackers, and any added will be deleted as trivia (the reason for the split), having "nothing to do with the Howard Stern Show proper" (as invoked above). There is enough reliable sourcing out there to support the Wack Pack article, and that's the proper venue. --Lexein (talk) 18:04, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Followup: it would be best, in my opinion, if detailed information about the Wack Pack (such as real names) goes in Wack Pack, not here. Here, it will just be stripped back as trivia and unsourced. There, it can be expanded, sourced, and explained in detail, as is already happening. So, I'll be removing the real names from here. --Lexein (talk) 01:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I think that the Wack Pack is notable enough on its own.  Plus it is a large article and would feel out of place on The Howard Stern Show article.  The Wack Pack section on The Howard Stern Show article should simply link to the actual Wack Pack article rather than listing wack packers on its own, which is what it is doing now.LM2000 (talk) 06:00, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Uninvolved editor close/box this discussion? It's been two years since proposal, with no consensus to merge. --Lexein (talk) 23:55, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

When?
When did Fred Norris start on the show? I thought it was at Hartford, but the timeline on the sidebar of this article has him starting in the DC101 days along with Robin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.44.154 (talk) 15:42, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * They worked together in Hartford and then Howard moved to DC but there was no budget for Fred until a couple years later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.51.108 (talk) 18:19, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
