I'm not too good with pictures on wikipedia. can someone make it a bit smaller? thanks. Stancel 18:19, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
- I've reduced the dimensions of the article version to 236x244 (¼ the original size, but still much larger than the previous photograph). Clicking on this image leads to the full-size (472x488) version. — Lifeisunfair 18:50, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I deleted a phrase that began, "It is rumoured..." one, because we can do better than rumours (or rumors); and also, this article is about Franken, not the Fox pundit who is rumoured to have been behind Fox's ill-fated lawsuit.Mbstone 00:46, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Also, lots of people are described in Misplaced Pages as "funny" and/or "successful" and/or "famous." Maybe all three together is a little POV, but each of these terms is accurate as pertains to Franken, and perhaps the people who delete these characterizations are proving to everyone how absolutely humorless some fanatics of a certain right-wing-propaganda cable channel can sometimes be.Mbstone 00:50, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thejackhmr this article needed some adjustment; it had some subjective lines that needed to be redacted in order to comply with Misplaced Pages:NPOV. Perhaps they could be reworded by the author and reinserted.
- I've tried a compromise version; see what you think. ] 16:22, 2004 Aug 7 (UTC)
- Thejackhmr Perfect... Just one setence removed; was oddly worded, quasi-subjective, unsubstantial and possibly redundant:
- In an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2004, Franken claimed that Fox was either claiming rights to the phrase "fair and balanced" itself, or to ironical usage of it.
- Looks fine to me, then. Best, ] 16:35, 2004 Aug 7 (UTC)
Hey
Can we use a picture that's not an advertisment for his CD?
No offense....
I put a much more awesome picture up instead of that stupid one.
- Do we have permission to use this new picture? Gamaliel 00:00, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
- I researched the portrait's origin. It's a promotional shot, but it's supposed to be attributed to the photographer. I've updated both the image page and the article accordingly. — Lifeisunfair 19:36, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
NPOV?
Surely a person who is so prominent in politics would have critics of some kind? :) 172.197.198.105 04:39, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Mention Jewish Heritage?
Franken is jewish... Should that maybe be mentioned in the article, or is that irrelevant? --Konstantin 5 July 2005 22:13 (UTC)
Al Franken Show and Guests
Michael Medved once stated that he asked Franken why he's never been invited on The Al Franken Show and was told the show didn't have guests, yet I know numerous liberals have been guests on the show (Bill Moyers being one of the more prominent names I can think of). What's the real deal regarding guests on The Al Franken Show?
