Talk:Karl Pilkington

This page should be better that the Karl Pilkington page on wikipedia. More detail and just and encyclopedic. We are the mental fans after all! I plan on starting a few seed headings which hopefully some peepz can expand on.--Knockinabout 13:23, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

this article reads so weird. doesn't it? maybe bc it's been edited a zillion times, but i think it's more bc the original article was kind of poor. it's kind its trying to be encyclopedic but it's too badly written to be, so it fails at being encyclopedic and it fails at being just kind of fun. i'm not sure how to make it better, not really what i'm saying ...

also under "jobs" what is the chicken drumstick story? i don't remember it. where's it from? Steve is King 20:28, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, I agree that it was written strangely in the first place and its hard to make it more encyclopedic. At least it provided some framework examples though. The drumstick story was mentioned in a Karl w/ Russell Brand episode, though I can't remember which one in particular. I'm positive of it's existence though.--Knockinabout 03:04, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

ah, that explains it. i hardly listen to the KP/RB shows bc they weird me out. they just seem wrong somehow.  :) thanks! Steve is King 07:29, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

This article is in the process of being completely rewritten.

As every bit of this information has come from either the radio, TV, podcast or an interviews, it shouldn't be difficult to cite references for all of the article.

• However, it is difficult to cite references. Obviously, I don't know wiki "coding" that well, but on wikipedia citing references appears extremely easy. All you have to do is use<ref></ref> tags and have a <references/> tag at the end. I can't get this to work here. Now I may just be a div and not able to figure this out, but it'd be nice to be able to it. So if someone could provide a link on how to do it or set up the framework for this simplistic "ref" approach, it would be nice (spent about 15 minutes trying to meself in vein).--Knockinabout 19:27, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Also, there is now a seperate page for Quote & Views, beliefs and philosophies: It's Here

Asian vs Chinese

I changed an edit from 'Asian people' back to 'Chinese'. I think 'Asian' is too vague. It's a diverse continent and Karl clearly isn't talking about, for example, Indian people. Plus I don't think it's offensive to say Chinese people. WikiSysop
