As spoonman is now back on the air, i was wondering how we should update this wiki page? Can we just add a new title, something like 2009 Show Return? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.100.0.187 (talk) 05:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should get rid of the links to the podcasts and ATFS podcasts, as they sadly no longer exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.100.87.216 (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Major Changes[edit]

Hi All,

Made some major layout changes to The Spoonman page today. Added a radio-show infobox, the show's logo as a picture, Changed the layout and presentation of some of the key headings within the aritcle as well as fixed some minor puncuation and spelling errors.

The article still needs a lot of work please feel free to contribute/modify. Jimbo82 (talk) 06:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be alarmed all, i have made a new page for the spoonman, Spoonman's Classic Rock Show, as it is the name of the show now. I hade created a redirect from "The Spoonman". Please no one change this. Inirapsag (talk) 11:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spoony's Award[edit]

There was a claim that Spoony had won an award, but there was no citation given.

Spoony was recently named hottest kitchen utensil on radio.

It seems likely that it was just a joke inserted by a vandal, so I removed it from the article. However, I moved it here just in case someone can verify its source. Lachlan.hunt 04:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Biggest Fan Award[edit]

The biggest fan award is infact true, whoever keeps removing it obviously hasn't listened or has any idea about the show.

Spoony's Award[edit]

Spoonman was voted Hottest Kitchen Utensil on Radio; by The Spoonman Fanclub.

Criticisms - Online Petition[edit]

Why was the reference to the petition removed from Criticisms? I think it should be there because it provides some evidence of the claims made in the criticisms section. --Lachlan.hunt 12:10, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno - I was just looking through it and there are quite a few links mixed up all over the place. Might be worth trawling through the history to find it?

I'll watch the page from now on so it doesn't happen again GreenGopher 12:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it needs to be there, because it is a valid opinion, but I gave it less emphasis because the petition is now marked closed. Stu 11:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ban unregistered editing[edit]

To help stop morons putting stupid crap on this page, we should limit it to registered members, also, i made a page about brian, so the brian carlton page is no longer a simple redirect. (Inirapsag 02:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Wikipedia is open to everyone to edit. Yes it can be frustrating when people do silly things, vandalise..etc but that's the nature of an open and public encyclopedia. --Mikecraig 02:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That why you report vandals. Of course, they will eventually get banned. However, protection wise, it isn't likely to succeed -- Warfreak 02:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

footnote links[edit]

footnote links to podcasts need to be updated, as the the triple m site has been redesigned and makes the current links redundant.

done! Jimbo82 (talk) 07:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Show has changed name.[edit]

I have changed some things on the page because the show is now called Spoonman's Classic Rock Show.

i found out the new name via the program guide on the triple m website. Inirapsag (talk) 08:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Show has been reverted to the old name "The Spoonman". Inirapsag (talk) 13:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes/Links[edit]

The article seems to stop dead after the "controversy" section. The links to fan pages or the links to references are gone. Does anyone know what happened? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meshuggah010 (talk • contribs) 03:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:MMMlogo.png[edit]

The image Image:MMMlogo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Starting date?[edit]

Would it be too much to ask for the starting date of the programme to be included? 121.44.158.53 (talk) 10:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
