[edit] WABI vs WBAI

Is that really WABI, not WBAI? -- Jmabel 06:14, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

You're right. Fixed. ElBenevolente 06:17, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the wiki link

I can't believe it. It was just yesterday that I even registered www.jfwiki.org and already some kind soul has linked to it. How cool is wikipedia?!!! 4.16.122.172 01:08, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC) (spblat)

[edit] Article

Joe Frank is worthy of a much better article! I hope to be able to contribute something to that in the future. Stephenjh 19:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


Agreed. Even if one doesn't much care for the actual body of work, it is unique enough, and long-running enough, that it deserves a more thorough discussion of how the shows stand apart from the usual fare.

Perhaps it would make sense to list the shows, or the more popular ones, along the right side of the page, as is done with actors or musicians? That would allow wiki readers to link directly to the shows, and produce separate articles for them. Just a thought. C d h 03:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarized

Copyright examination was requested regarding subject described below. Sadly copyright examinations is not the right place for the request. The most common reason is that the content has already been added/uploaded to Wikipedia. Such cases (violations or not) are taken care of at Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

The request has been moved to List of rejected requests. Please move the request to a better location so it can be taken care of. When the request is moved and/or backed up, please remove this template and the entry from copyright examinations page.

Almost all of this text is copied verbatim from Frank's bio page on his official website: http://www.joefrank.com/joebio.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.10.50 (talk • contribs) 02:21, May 27, 2007

Wikipedia's copyright violation policy is quite clear. I'll do what I can to remove the offending text. --GargoyleMT 13:46, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I think this is a false alarm. See Wikipedia's revision as of December 2, 2004, and compare it to the Internet Archive's version as of November 19, 2004 or December 7, 2004. The point where JoeFrank.com changed over to be like the article is March 6, 2005. I'll post on the copyright problems board, and see if others reach the same conclusion as I do. --GargoyleMT 13:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree. --Alvestrand 18:21, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Me too. I examined this at the time and came to that conclusion. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for looking into it, gentlemen. --GargoyleMT 21:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major Overhaul

I just did a major overhaul to the page. Did as much as I could - feel free to jump in. Things I think the page could use:

  • It would be great if we could get some kind of open licensed image if anyone has anything.
  • Confirmed birthdate - I have an estimated year right now.
  • More Frank inspired artists if you know of any
  • Pretty sure I got all the awards organized correctly?

Anyway, it's much more complete than before! --Dronthego (talk) 06:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
