Does beat the stub-class articles of his counterparts on Get This though.

Just a quick note to say that I removed the line about "the dismissal of Triple M DJ Michael Tunn" because it was unrelated to the start of Tony's show. (The Adelaide Advertiser article did losely suggest it, but Tony is Melbourne based.)

[edit] television

He was in several shows people keep deleting, ie he was in the Shambles, a little-known Channel 31 production in Melbourne, playing himself. And he was obviously in Thank God You're Here, yet that's been deleted too.

[edit] Page Protection

This article needs Page Protection as it gets vandalised as often as the Get This page does. --Ninevah 22:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Has been requested --Mikecraig 23:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block

203.49.190.189 should be blocked for vandalism - --Mikecraig 11:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article protection

Is article protection generally temporary or permanent? Why has this article attracted so much vandalism? Hannybanny 05:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe that protection is normally granted on a temp basis which is reviewed by the various wiki admins out there...the reason why this article gets vandalised so much is that Tony Martin on his Get This radio program makes fun of wikipedia and discusses the vandalism and sometimes even "encourages" people to cause havoc on articles (his, his program, his co-hosts and even ones like Nik Kershaw). --Mikecraig 05:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Look at Richard Marsland for an epic war over nicknames that have at times been over half the articles length, in non-sentence format. Doesn't help when Ed Kavalee agitates for their return either.

Yeah I know..been keeping an eye on these --Mikecraig 05:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Why is Tony's photo _exactly_ like Andrew Denton's photo? 220.253.2.41 11:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

uhh...Nothing like it --Mikecraig 20:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

The above comment suggesting the photos were identical was posted from an internet service provider in Victoria [1] and seemed to anticipate vandalism by 8 minutes from a registered user. That vandalism was reverted 3 minutes later.--Golden Wattle ^talk 22:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think the vandalism occurred first (at 23:57 22 November 2006 (UTC)) and then the comment was posted nearly 12 hours later (at 11:45 23 November 2006 (UTC)), by which time the vandalism had long since been reverted. --DH85868993 23:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes that's right. Perhaps it was to do with the cache in some way - perhaps the user's own cache!--Golden Wattle ^talk 23:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced material

I have immediately removed all unsourced material in the Personal Life section. I strongly advise anyone who writes about Tony Martin to find a reliable source. WP:BIO should, and in fact will, be strictly followed. --Ta bu shi da yu 18:20, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
