[edit] Letters to Wikipedia
Dear WIKIPEDA, I visited your Scott Baio page and tried to include more crucial missing data about him, such as his lesser-known accolades and prizes for acting in television and movies. If you will permit me, I shall add more good information during my return. Please don't erase it anymore. What I find problematic about this website is that sometimes you tend to emphasize the negative stuff about a celebrity and ignore the positive things about him or her. Thank you for reading my letter. Sincerely, LOKI.
Dear WIKIPEDA, This is my second visit. Previously tried to log in but failed due to confusion about the directions. Never mind. Sorry about the editing mix-up. Please keep the important positive stuff about Mr. Baio that I've added with good intentions. It makes your article more complete now, doesn't it? Thanks anyway. Sincerely again, LOKI.
Anyone else think the above poster is actually Scott Baio?--70.60.0.70 23:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to disappoint the above hatemonger but I am not Mr. Baio. I'm just a humble fan. Isn't it sad when internet trolls are compelled to spread hatred and negativity across the web for the purpose of giving their own insignificant lives some real meaning?? I personally choose to help out wherever I can rather than injuring others. P.S. Congratulations to WIKIPEDIA for the great improvements on their Scott Baio page. And thanks for the recent picture of him as Bob Loblaw in 'Arrested Development'. Sincerely, LOKI.
I don't think calling someone Scott Baio counts as spreading hatred and negativity.--209.243.31.233 12:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it does because in doing this, you're negatively implying that Scott Baio is miserably hated by others so much that he's all alone in trying to defend himself from hatemongers such as yourself. Please do not be incredibly stupid or intellectually dishonest in your future posts. It counts as "hate speech" and you know it. And do not come back here if you really have nothing positive to contribute to WIKIPEDIA at all.

[edit] Ethnical background
I read on this site that Baio is of Italo-American descent and otherwhere (I seeem IMDB) that both is parents are (or were) Italians born in Italy. Well, I don't think so, because it's clear from his looking he has some Asian (or Native American) blood. What do you know about?
Dear WIKIPEDA, Just revisited the Scott Baio page here and discovered a possible attempt to sabotage the article. Currently trying to fix certain portions thereof. It's one thing to write negative comments or blatant falsehoods about Mr. Baio in other blogger pages. But erasing any records of his deserving accolades for his three independent films is downright malicious. They ought to leave those important facts alone. I'll keep putting them back into the article repeatedly if I have to. Don't think that I won't because I will. Makes you wonder if some trolls out there are really "threatened" by such innocent truthful data about Scott's artistic capabilities. Sincerely, LOKI. P.S. Sorry but I cannot do anything about the missing photos of Scott Baio. Better get somebody else to fix this other problem.
Dear LOKI,
No matter how much you like Scott Baio, you do not own this article. Unless it was blatant vandalism, the content was probably removed for a good reason, and the pictures were probably not fair use. Undoing any edit that you disagree with without finding out the motivation behind it is generally bad form.--209.243.31.233 12:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear Last User,
As long as WIKIPEDIA embraces and preserves my well-researched truthful statements of facts and trivia concerning Mr. Scott Baio within their informational article about him, I shall be quite happy. At least, I do not spread blatant lies or falsehoods about innocent celebrities like other malicious people on the net. Don't be jealous of my well-meaning intentions or abilities to help WIKIPEDIA improve their materials once in a while.

Ummm...'ethnical' is not a word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.163.140.28 (talk) 07:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Commerical in "Appearances"?
The way the Appearances section is written reads very much like a commerical. If it's actually viable and important to the article, I guess it could stay, but I don't see why it would need to be there. Aurick 22:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Improvements to the "Scott Baio" article
Dear WIKIPEDIA,
First, here is the correct citation for the recent "Zapped" data in Entertainment Weekly: p. 47, "Virgin Territory" by Chris Nashawaty, Issue # 929, cover story - The Sopranos's last season. Hope that helps you.
Second, this new additional sentence to the paragraph on "Arrested Development" may still have to be properly checked and verified. ("He made reference to this in his first episode......he appealed to a younger crowd.")
For the record, Scott was never called in to replace Henry Winkler on "Happy Days" at all. He was simply there to essentially play The Fonz's younger sidekick and cousin, Chachi Arcola. There was no plan to get rid of Mr. Winkler's character on that show.
And of course, "Arrested" fans know that Henry Winkler had to leave A.D. behind since he fortunately got himself a job on a new series with Stockard Channing on CBS. Mr. Baio clearly had nothing to do with that lucky turn of events.
Truly Yours, LOKI (September 19, 2007)
[edit] Corrected information
Would someone please add the following to the bottom of the personal section:
- Despite co-starring on ABC's "Happy Days" for eight years, from 1977 to 1984, Baio was excluded (?) from the February 25, 2008 Happy Days reunion interview by Matt Lauer on the The Today Show.[1]
GimRenwaller.
Dear GimRenwaller,
I do not think that Mr. Baio was intentionally "excluded" from the Today interview by Matt Lauer. Said "Happy Days" reunion simply involved the ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS of the show (Richie, The Fonz, Mr. C and Mrs. C, Joanie, Potsie and Ralph). Wasn't this fact obvious ??
Unfortunately, SCOTT BAIO WAS NOT AN ORIGINAL SERIES MEMBER in the same way that Ted McGinley, Cathy Silvers, Lynda Goodfriend and others were also later cast additions to "Happy Days". Said people were not present either at that interview.
Besides, Scott and his wife Renee were too busy visiting other morning shows with their very cute newborn baby daughter Bailey.
Sorry. We cannot add your information. It would not be fair to poor Scott at all. LOKI
Dear Loki, Thanks for pointing out such an "obvious" fact to GimRenwaller. If Scott was indeed "excluded" from the "Happy Days" cast reunion interview of the Today morning show, so were Lori Beth (Lynda Goodfriend), Roger (Ted McGinley), Jenny (Cathy Silvers), K.C. (Crystal Bernard) and Flip (Billy Warlock). Fans already know that Big Al (Al Molinaro) and Arnold (Pat Morita) sadly passed away in recent years. But what about Chuck 1 (Gavan O'Herlihy) and Chuck 2 (Randolph Roberts) ? And who could ever forget Pinky Tuscadero (Roz Kelly) ?? The Today interview was only for the ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS (from Season 1) of this show. It should be quite clear to anybody that Mr. Baio was never "excluded" at all. Sincerely, Lourdes.
