[edit] Removal of overabundance of links

Do we really need to have this biography link to Chairman, Volunteer, Entertainer, Auctioneer, Author, PHD, chemistry, doctoral thesis, and a whole host of other 'common' items? No need to cross-reference them all... Bengaley 14:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Probably not, if it's an obvious term. Such things only really need to be linked if they are being specifically discussed or if the reader is likely to be unfamiliar with them. GreenReaper 16:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
In that case, I'll let this stand for about three quarters of a day. If nothing else occurs when I get home from work at 0645 PST, I'll start delinking the common terms. Bengaley 18:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pronunciation

is it really kah-GAY? looks like Japanese, which I'd expect to be KAH-gay. kwami (talk) 02:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not really qualified to comment on the correct pronunciation of Japanese - I was going by his home page, which specifies "two syllables and a hard g". Whether that means the stress is on the g . . . I'll ask. GreenReaper (talk) 03:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
FWIW, I've only heard (and spoke) his name with "KA" stressed and "ge" like in japanese. Do his standup DVDs count as sources for wikipedia? I am sure he mentions that name somewhere. --Cubbi (talk) 05:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
They would, although unfortunately they're not available for others to hear. There are however several YouTube videos. See this one at 0:56. Sounds somewhat like "KA-gee", although admittedly it's not being said by him. GreenReaper (talk) 10:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the DVDs count, but if it's a Japanese pronunciation, we should note that. kwami (talk) 17:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
All I hear is "You see the skunk, right?"
At the point I mentioned the person holding the skunk says "thank you, Uncle Kage". GreenReaper (talk) 22:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Do you mean "KA" as in calm, or as in candy? gee as is French Guy? kwami (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Calm is closest, I would keep my tongue close to the bottom of my mouth while saying the Ka (with "candy" I would open my mouth wider). If you're a Star Trek fan, KA as in Khan. I'm afraid I was always terrible at French pronunciation, so I'm not sure. I would speak the Gee with the middle of my tongue elevated (not touching the floor or the roof of my mouth) and with the back of my throat tensed, if that helps. Here is a sample pronunciation. GreenReaper (talk) 22:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay, KAH-gee then. kwami (talk) 07:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

its pronounced "ka-gay", even the podcast show "2sense" referrs to him as "uncle kage" which is "ka-gay" so, im gonna go ahead and fix that (Racerboy (talk) 19:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC))
