pov?

This whole article reads like promo material. Doesn't seem very trustworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.211.38 (talk) 17:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

ive been checking this pages history and i think the quote from Adams about not being sure he fine being defined by other people should be removed. i couldn't find anything on google, other than on wikipedia about it. the guy who added it has made no other edits, and if no one has an objection, i am going to remove it.

To answer your concern Janemansfield74: That quote appeared on his webpage UPDATE SECTION. I believe it is still up there archived. I am going to put it back on there.

I've gotta say this article reads like a self-glossing hype page, not an encyclopedic entry. If you know Orny it's pretty obvious who wrote this.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.44.96 (talk) 04:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Single-purpose editors

I have reverted edits by two single-purpose accounts which removed reliable sources and added back a list of quotations formatted in an unencyclopedic manner. There appear to be some long-standing ownership issues here. I also gave both editors, User:Levelfield and User:76.94.228.151, pointers to our conflict of interest guidelines in the event it applies in either case. Jokestress (talk) 06:33, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Sourcing

User:24.199.68.93 asked me to take a look at some editing by single-purpose accounts, an issue I described above. The concern was about blurbs from Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling, Dennis Miller, and Gavin de Becker. These comments all appeared in promotional material or on the covers of various media. I was able to find a reliable source that mentioned a relationship with Shandling, and there is certainly a connection with Seinfeld because of the documentary. Miller and de Becker do not seem to have appeared in any independent sourcing. We can add them back if they appeared in a book, newspaper, magazine, scholarly article, etc. Jokestress (talk) 17:27, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Age

News sources gave his age as 29 in 2002, though some also say he was 29 "when we first meet him," which would be during filming, possibly the year before. Jokestress (talk) 17:27, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Filmography

I'm taking out the filmography. Adams He appeared as himself in Comedian and had a small role in Funny People. Those are really his only two film credits. Teen Wolf is a TV series, and the other two credits are direct-to-video performance videos. I hesitate to do so because the article is small to begin with, but I think that this filmography is duplicative and also somewhat misleading.

Only adams

Heard (from him) he wasn't allowed to update his OWN Wikipedia page...🤷... WHY?... Because THAT'S in the interest of honesty and transparency... What's the point then? If you people just want to hear what you want to hear then just imagine it in your own head and leave it off the internet. Mya pinion (talk) 04:34, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
