If 66.127.219.130 is going to continue to change this, he should give a reason. The whole tooth thing is a part of his persona as is the video. Please see official rules:
"Avoidance
The best way to resolve a dispute is to avoid it in the first place.
Be respectful to others and their points of view. This means primarily: Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it. Provide a good edit summary when making significant changes that other users might object to. The Three Revert Rule forbids the use of reverts in repetitive succession. If you encounter rude or inappropriate behavior, resist the temptation to respond in kind, and do not make personal attacks.
Writing according to the "perfect article guidelines" and following the NPOV policy can help you write "defensively", and limit your own bias in your writing. For some guidelines, see Wikipedia:Wikiquette."
- I hope I improved it enough to stop him from removing large parts of the article again. I think the nicknames are fine to mention, along with the constant ridicule Baba Booey receives from Stern and the other guys. We do need to remember that a lot of it is an act - the "horse toothed jackass" is basically a character he plays. So I've toned down a lot of the stuff which said that Dell'Abate really does have bad breath and "ape-like features". It's just a show. Rhobite 19:08, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question
I thought I read on this page a couple of days ago that Dell'Abate only makes $65,000 per year; which seems incredibly low, given the national syndication of the show. Today, the information is gone. Did somebody remove the bit of information?
[edit] Origin date of "Bababooey"
Just for accuracy, I am pretty sure that the "Baba Booey" nickname originated in July of 1990. It was a first run show, so it could not have been a rerun of an earlier broadcast.
[edit] "Funny stuff"
Please be aware that Wikipedia is not the right venue for including "funny stuff". If you want to include "funny stuff" (that's inaccurate, irrelevant, or otherwise doesn't fit into the Wikipedia article rules), you should find an appropriate venue to do so. There are lots of Howard Stern fansites out there that would welcome such inclusions. Moncrief 22:13, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Middle Name
Can someone explain why Gary's middle name Patrick keeps getting removed? Check his IMDB link. It's his real middle name. I don't see how including it makes the article worse. -wadems 13:14, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gary's Brother Steven
Ok I do understand that Gary's brother Steven died of complications due to AIDS but it has never been discussed how Steven contracted the disease. 68.160.120.105 04:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Original Year of Baba Booey
In the article, it states the year was 1989, but then it says there is a 1987 soundbite. Which year was it? It seems something needs correction. --Bark 19:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Howard Attending Gary's Father's Funeral
I removed the sentence: "Strangely enough, Howard did not attend the wake, nor the funeral, a fact that has since discouraged his fans.". This was a rumor dismissed by both Howard and Gary on the very next show after the funeral. Howard stated he missed the wake because his girlfriend fractured her foot as they were leaving their apartment to attend.
