Why is this page locked?

I worked with Bob for three years and have factual, non-inflammatory, non-controversial facts to add (and one to correct) and yet there's no way to do that when it's locked like this!

That's great. Protecting people causes the site to be outdated. Like you know...an encyclopedia. Anyway, the Comedy Central Roast info needs to be updated and changed from will be to was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortalumfo (talk • contribs) 04:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't "locking" pages defeat the whole purpose of the "masses" agreeing on the real truth? Why does Wikipedia even allow this? They let anybody simply post their slanted version of things, then allow them to lock it... this seems totally against the Wikipedia concept.

Again, why is this locked??!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlappyMcB (talk • contribs) 03:48 10 February 2007 (UTC) ●DanMS 04:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes a Wikipedia page becomes the target of heavy vandalism, especially by anonymous (IP) users, so that the page has to be protected to reduce the vandalism to a manageable level. At this level of protection, users who have been registered for four days or less are also restricted from editing. The reason for that is that sometimes anonymous users, finding that a page is protected against anons, will create a throwaway account solely for the purpose of vandalizing a page. If you can wait four days and make a few productive edits, then you will be able to edit this page. ●DanMS 03:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

If a page is popular enough to attract vandals, then it is popular enough to attract non-vandals as well who will remove it. You responded to my post within 10 minutes of my making it, for example. That's the reason for the success of "Wikipedia" and why it generally contains truthful, useful information: people who actually know a given topic or have first-person information to contribute can quickly add it. These people have "lives" and don't care to sit around waiting to audition for the right to edit some topic. So when you lock a page to allow only Wikipedia "nerds" to edit (no offense...), you're limiting it to a subset that especially in this case are most likely not to have any useful, first-person information. That's completely self-defeating! And in my case I had tried to make a "throwaway" nick for the sole purpose of trying to contribute useful information! I can't be the only one out there. I believe you self-appointed elite group, whoever you are, should really rethink your position on locking this page. Limiting contributions to just a select few, especially for non-political or controversial pages like this, is simply not the idea behind the Wikipedia concept! SlappyMcB 17:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

No offense taken. You should realize that the protection is for the sake of improving Wikipedia by limiting the amount of vandalism found on a page. The subset of users to which you refer really constitutes the vast majority of registered users and cannot be considered the “elite.” The only registered users who are prohibited from editing a page such as this are those users who have been registered for less than four days. That does not seem unreasonable, I think. ●DanMS 17:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree entirely with SlappyMcB's arguments above, the strength of Wikipedia is in its wide and varied contributions by a number of occasional users who do not have the time to hover breathlessly over each and every change. In fact there seem a large number of Wiki-nerds who right vandalism the moment it occurs. What is the longest period any vandalism remained on this page before it was corrected? Further, I take issue with the description of the so-called anonymous unregistered contributor. In fact, it seems to me the editor who _registers_ is relatively more anonymous, as no IP is visible. With an IP, you have at least a location of the editor and often this number links edits, particularly for static IPs, the majority of broadband users now. Registered users often have no front page indicating who they are or anything about them, and as you cannot see an IP, you don't even know where they are. No matter. This page should be unlocked. 4.249.111.163 01:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Saget was a ninja bunny from hell and came to earth to eat all the souls

I have a new, not widely-publicized article that I want to link on the page. How do I do this, since it's locked?? THANKS! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reljoy55 (talk • contribs) 18:09, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Post the link here and ask for someone to add it, or wait a few days and you will be able to add it yourself (the page is in semi-protection mode, which will allow an account to edit it after a few days of being active). -- Ned Scott 05:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I thought everyone had that. Do you have eyes?

Why does it matter that he's a JEW?

It doesn't matter to me. It was just an interesting fact. I think I know some people who are Jews. I'm not anti-Semitic. Don't get upset, man. 71.111.216.239 17:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to state that Bob Saget is a she-male. Honestly, i mean come on he is really gay.

He enrolled at Temple University's elementary school school, where he failed a million times. - what the hell is that supposed to mean? failed a million times? elementary school school? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.193.17.54 (talk) 12:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Why in heavens name does his picture proclaim him as God?

I see the page has been in a revert war recently aginst a freaky religious vandal. But we might want to do something about his picture, I'm going to look for one.

Neutrality

Some of this article depicts Mr. Saget in a bad light, most notably the part about his comedy career. --Aristeo 04:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Rockbridge County High School did not exist until at least 1992, so how he could have attended it is beyond me.24.90.151.0 02:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)A Lexingtonian

Took out some things that made no sense.

took this out, didn't seem to make sense here... : Six years ago, I was at the the bar, and some girl ask me ""will you go out with me". I said "That's low"' and I walked out. The next day I went to the Dollar Store and got a Spud Shot gun to shove up my ass to spud away, lol. That nite, I found myself in a dump with blood comming out of my ass. I said "LOL" and "ROfL". The lession to this story is to neer watcch Full House or Bob Saget porno.

-Shatteredhorizon

I also took some weird stuff out.

Someone put that he attempted suicide in 1989, was hospitalized for 17 years and emerged in 2006.

The entire production of Full House took place within that time frame! Plus his movie roles. He couldn't have been hospitalized.

Geeesh. --68.40.129.176 06:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, my name is Joe, I started the Church of Saget. <--- What a loser...

It is indeed a fansite, although I agree it is not your typical fansite. The reason I started the church is because I am a huge fan of him. Also, while there are probably other fansites out there, I belive I am the only one willing to buy a domain to host it.

If anything, his official website should be added to the list, it is thebobsaget.com.

Anyway, I truly do believe that Bob is God, and so should you.

Half Baked quote

I think the quote containing profanity is inappropriate. Children may have an interest in visiting this article. Could the quote be placed on the Half Baked webpage since its a quote from that movie? M8gen 23:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not censored, Wikipedia:Content disclaimer and Wikipedia:Profanity. -- Ned Scott 01:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

i am not saying to censor wikipedia, but does the quote need to be on this page? cant it be on the half baked page instead? there is already mention that he used vulgar language and the movie name, i dont see how the quote adds to the article, nor do i see how removing it would hurt the article. (which is the profanity rules guideline). plus the article does not display a warning, like it should if it does keep this quote. M8gen 04:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

No articles display warnings per Wikipedia:No disclaimer templates. I understand what you are trying to say here, but censoring for the sake of children is something that really rubs me the wrong way. What's flawed about your argument is that Bob Saget IS a very vulgar comedian. This isn't like we're pointing out something that's rare. Any child doing research on Bob Saget is very likely to come across his comedic material, quotes, or some other direct example of his comedy. An example of his use of vulgar words is actually appropriate on this article. It's a misconception that Bob Saget is a "wholesome topic", but he clearly is not. -- Ned Scott 04:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

i never said bob sagat wasnt a vulgar person. nor was i trying to argue anything about who he is or isnt. maybe you are too engrossed in the topic to see that im not trying to hurt the article. i dont know. you dont seem to pay any attention to me saying that the quote doesnt add to the article nor would removing it (and placing it on Half Baked's page) reduce the quality of the article. and yes there are content disclaimers on/for wikipedia, ive seen them myself. " Some words or phrases on this page may be found to be offensive by some readers." was one and there were warning tags somewhere on wikipedia to use. the restoring of his early life paragraphs seems to have moved the quote down the page, making the words "suck dick for coke" less of a focus. M8gen 07:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Such warning tags are deleted when found, but I do not doubt we haven't found them all. The only warning tags that are viewed as acceptable (and even that is sometimes disputed) are spoiler tags. I understand you think that removing the quote doesn't hurt the article. I'm saying that I feel the quote is appropriate for the article, and that the removal is needless and simply for the sake of censorship for children. -- Ned Scott 07:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

i understand you think its appropriate for the article M8gen 07:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

The quote in question doesn't seem especially gratuitous or inappropriate, in my opinion. However, I don't think there is a reason we need to link "suck dick". I have removed the link, but left the quote. Kaldari 17:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Does anybody have an idea as to why this article is so frequently vandalized? -Will Beback · † · 22:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Because he's Bob Saget.

• Because funniest home videos is !@#!#@!$ ANNOYING!! and they still broadcast it world wide. it shows how stupid people are and just annoys the hell out of everybody. to be honest..the only reason i looked up the page in the first place is out of pure frustration. maybe i get more respect for him if i watch his standup comedy shows, which actually sound good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.176.184 (talk) 01:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

King of user generated contet

It should be noted that Bob Saget is known as the "King of user generated content", do to the fact of the success of him hosting AFHV.24.218.143.6 00:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Known by whom? When I googled that phrase I did see some entries that said "video" is the king, but they didn't mention Saget. -Will Beback · † · 01:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It looks like this has been re-added with a podcast as a source. Some random comment by a non-notable podcaster hardly seems worth including. -Will Beback · † · 21:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The "non-notable podcaster" seems to be notable enough to have its page at Buzz Out Loud. Momo Hemo 11:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

So it does, my mistake. Nonetheless, a single reference in a podcast does not mean that Saget is "known" as the "king of user generated content", only that he's been called that. -Will Beback · † · 20:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Will is correct. And plus, that comment on Buzz Out Loud was a joke to see if anyone would fall for the trick of adding it to the article (ala Stephen Colbert). Don't fall for it. I've deleted it. Keep it out. -- Fuzheado | Talk 06:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

:Saget has been called the "king of user generated content" due to the success of AFHV.

References

The picture needs to be changed!

Someone has been changing the picture from a picture of Bob Saget to a picture of a schoolteacher, whose name I am keeping confidential. This was amusing the first time I saw it, but I think the picture would be more appropriately placed in an article on the schoolteacher, rather than in an article on a comedian. (Big difference!) *Yardstick cracks desk* 24.17.217.255 00:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I put that back in there most recently. Is that seriously not him?--Bongwarrior 01:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

If you want additional evidence... look at the poster in the background. It is marked, "Daily Schedule," and has a list of class periods. Plus, he teaches at a school I am aquainted with, and is sporting his usual 'green shirt + sweater' get up. However, I must admit, I never noticed how similiar he looks to Bob Saget... usually I compare him with Darth Vader... 24.17.217.255 03:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm still not convinced that's not him, but I replaced it. Better safe than sorry. The licensing information did look a little suspect though. --Bongwarrior 03:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I too am not convinced that the picture is not of Bob Saget. Wikipedia has a high standard of journalistic integrity, and I hope this page doesn't turn into some sort of a flame war.

I don't understand. Why do you insist on replacing a pic that might not even be him? What does the article gain? I understand that you uploaded the picture and you'd like to see it remain in the article, but the editor above raised a concern, and I agree that there may be something to that concern. For example, in the pic's summary you state "Photograph of Bob Saget during a stand-up comedy routine taken with a Motorola Razr V3i Cameraphone" and it doesn't appear to match the photograph. As I've said, my position is that it might be him, but it's not really worth taking a chance that it's not. I'm reverting it one more time, then I'm done. --Bongwarrior 04:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I've become convinced that this is some form of vandalism, and will be reverting it as such. I even put this image back in myself a few days ago thinking it was him, it sure does look a lot like him. But this whole thing is just too fishy. --Bongwarrior 09:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

That picture is Bob Saget. I cant imagine a schoolteacher would look like him. Josh97 23:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll keep on putting this picture back on unless someone shows me a good reason, becuase the period list at his left doesn't show anything, it could be part of his comedy.Josh97 23:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Because it's disputed. Editors have voiced concerns, and your only response is that you can't imagine a schoolteacher looking like that. Oddly, someone did make a vandalism comment about him being a schoolteacher, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Saget&diff=133521936&oldid=133304444 That, and the background previously mentioned, make it highly suspect IMO. I don't get why you're so vehement, either. It's not as though this picture is necessary, after all. San Diablo 23:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Page protection

I've been watching this article a while now to help revert vandalism, but for some reason the article has been protected and most of it's content has been removed. What gives? Alkivar has stated in his revert that sources are required. This is true, but it's kind of impossible to do that if you've protected the page. Content such as this was removed:

"On America's Funniest Home Videos Bob Saget was virtually the entire cast. He was seen on-camera, introducing video clips of accident-prone people and amazing animals. He was also heard as a voice-over performer, narrating or supplying funny voices for these same clips. The scripted material that Saget had to read for the studio audience was often embarrassingly weak (causing some viewers to unfairly blame Saget himself for the low humor content), but he was very inventive and witty in the voice-overs, often indulging in celebrity impersonations, dialect humor, and clever puns."

The last sentence there is likely OR, and should go, but the first part is something anyone who watched America's Funniest Home Videos would know, and a citation of the show or some kind of review would have done the job.

Another section removed was about the movie he directed about his sister, called For Hope. The movie article's one reference (yeah, another thing to fix) doesn't point to a specific page, but as soon as you visit it you'll find the direct pages that talk about Saget's involvement.

Protecting the article is an overreaction, and prevents any of us from adding the required citations. -- Ned Scott 20:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, still not sure what's going on with the page protection, but I've started doing some research and am updating a copy of the article in my sandbox at User:Ned Scott/sandbox. Feel free to contribute, but it won't matter much of you are unable to cite a source, so please do. -- Ned Scott 04:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

That paragraph quoted about AFHV sounds like it would come from Saget's POV. WAVY 10 18:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it turns out to be wrong. When I did some research on Saget I found out that he himself wrote his lines on AFHV. This has actually turned out to be an interesting project to work on. -- Ned Scott 06:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure anything has been added to the article about the HBO special yet, but we'll do our best to keep it in line with WP:NPOV. -- Ned Scott 01:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you are talking about. It's probably a bit of undue weight to take that one special he did and start plastering the three quotes on it. Here's a raw dump of what I removed:

His HBO comedy special That Ain't Right came out on DVD on August 28, 2007, and has received generally bad reviews from critics: “ Perhaps the object lesson here is that Bob Saget works best in small doses -- whether it's five minutes in a documentary or 22 minutes on a TV sitcom. Whatever the reason, this is a failed attempt at funny that suggests Saget isn't nearly as cool as he'd like us to think he is. That ain't right? Try that ain't all that funny. Skip it. ” - DVD Talk “ Maybe one reason that Bob Saget's new hour of stand-up on HBO is so dreadful is that Saget is aiming for a place or two in the Guinness Book of World Records: fewest actual jokes in a one-hour comedy special while also logging the most uses of a certain infamous four-letter word. ” - Tom Shales “ Let the record show that on this new HBO standup special, disappointingly unpolished by the standards of both the comic and the network, Bob Saget Was Not Funny. ” - David Bianculli

Maybe we should just leave it at "His HBO comedy special That Ain't Right came out on DVD on August 28, 2007, and has received generally bad reviews from critics" with the reviews in a citation tag? -- Ned Scott 01:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

How about Bob Saget's first HBO special entitled "Bob Saget - In the Dream State"? 72.78.221.27 23:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, "That Ain't Right" wasn't funny _at all_. It's a total piece of crap. There's no substance whatsoever in his humor; just awkwardly overused profanity/vulgarity. His whole bit is centered around shocking people who wouldn't expect the nice old dad from Full House to swear so much in real life. There is literally nothing else to it. Bob Saget is the very definition of "painfully unfunny", and an embarrassment to the entire art form. That said, I would refrain from listing quotes from specific reviews on this page (except perhaps one or two for illustrative purposes). My feeling is that reviews should be mentioned on separate pages for whichever performance they apply to. Jason Stormchild (talk) 04:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Saget's childhood home

Bob Saget did NOT grow up in Lexington, Virginia. He moved from the Philadelphia area to Norfolk, Virginia, then Encino, California, and back to suburban Philly in time to finish high school. This reliable source says so. So does this one. This interview quotes him directly as saying, "my bar mitzvah was in Philadelphia, because we had no family in Norfolk, so I didn't have any friends at my bar mitzvah, which kind of bummed me out."

So just how did Wikipedia come up with the idea that he lived in Lexington? Let's take a look back.

Saget's article has apparently been vandalized repeatedly over the years, and the spring of 2006 was no exception. Up until April 2006 his childhood was basically "born in Philly, graduated from Abington High, went to Temple." Then came this edit on April 3 by an IP user, who made the unsourced claim in the first sentence of the article that Saget "moved to Munster, Indiana when he was two." This April 7 edit moved the claim to the second paragraph, where Saget's education was discussed.

This edit on April 18 made Saget a student at Munster High School. The IP that did this made exactly two other edits the same day, vandalizing the Abington High and Munster High articles. Another IP user tried to remove the Munster references on April 20, but this edit was undone by a regular editor who was trying to deal with a bombardment of Saget vandalism.

On April 24, an IP user at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia moved Saget from Munster to Lexington and from Munster High School to Rockbridge County High School. This claim has remained in the article, undocumented, since then.

As someone further up this talk page observed, Rockbridge County High School opened in 1992, by which time Saget was 36 and midway through his runs on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos. If Saget had lived in Lexington as a kid, he would have gone to the now-closed Lexington High School instead.

This claim has migrated outward from Wikipedia since then. It appears on all the numerous Wiki mirror sites, so it shows up a lot in Google searches. It has made it into the trivia section of Saget's IMDB page. Someone created a fake Bob Saget Myspace page in August 2006 giving "Lexington, Virginia" as his hometown. (The real Saget page is here.)

I am changing Saget's bio and sourcing the change. If anyone can provide reliable sources that contradict it, please discuss them here. Rklear (talk) 17:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

The Sageman's Influence in the Nicknames of the Youth

In the small town of Hemlock there is a guy by the name of Chad, who is referred commonly as Bob Saget. The popular nickname was brought on the successful t.v. series of Full House, in which Bob Saget played a caring father with quirky sense of humor. When Chad was younger the name was only thought to be temporary but as the popularity of the show and Chad's age increase his likeliness to the t.v. sensation took new ground. Like Bob Saget, Chad is a tall 18 year old about 6ft in height. The nickname has been both a blessing and a curse for Chad, but for the better part of his life he's stuck it out. Bob Saget has been a role model to the youth of America, whether positive or not. What is known about other children who may have the nickname of Bob Saget is unknown. What gave Chad his nickname of Bob Saget? Was it the nose, the height, or just his personality? It's all up to the people who know him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.38.47.178 (talk) 17:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Sagat from Street Fighter

There is a video game character named Sagat whose name almost sounds like Bob's last name. Because of this, the two of them should not be confused with each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.83.35 (talk) 22:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Edits to Full House/AFHV section

Took out some very small details that just didn't seem significant. Would be more interesting to include:

-- How he landed the Full House gig and Full House's success -- citations about his feelings hosting AFHV -- any other sources about Full House and AFHV ratings or other interesting info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.112.124.9 (talk) 02:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
