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?
If you listen to the "Gary Roast" air date Nov. 19th, numerous comedians mention that Gary makes $500 000 a year.
[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)
Does getting his ass licked count? Gary has admitting that he enjoys it and every time I add it, it gets erased. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tofilmfan (talk • contribs) 08:38, 20 February 2007.
- It wasn't erased this time (bc of the footnote), at least not yet. The thing is that in Wikipedia it's not enough for something to be true, it has to be attributable (see WP:A). And since this is a biography of a living person (see WP:LIVING), WP:A isn't open to interpretation like Wikipedia usually are. Note: it's hard to find the information on the large web-page cited; if problems crop up in the future, a direct quote should solve it all and guarantee the info won't be removed (if it's a reliable source). --gwc 04:48, 16 March 2007 (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)
they never go in to detail, however it can be inferred that he contracted it through unprotected sex, as they frequently connect him being gay and dying of AIDS 68.193.87.97 18:39, 20 January 2007 (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.
[edit] Trivia
The trivia section in this article is bigger than any other section. I think most of it is good enough to be integrated into the article proper or even given its own section, though. Feel free to dig in, I'll start moving stuff around shortly.. MGlosenger 14:32, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
