May I ask why you deleted the scorecard from the Frat Pack page?Kevin Crossman 16:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

because some of the films were incorrect accourding to the frat pack tribute site (of which you are a senior editor)

Well, two wrongs don't make a right. :-) Fixing the info would have been better... (IMHO).Kevin Crossman 22:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i tried but the chart kept messing up when i changed some of the listed films (i have since found out that each bar is for a different frat packer and have made the appropriate changes)

Please be civil and avoid making personal attacks against other editors. We're all in this together, and W.marsh works really hard to improve Wikipedia. Thanks. -- But|seriously|folks  17:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! If you have a business case for the ressurection of this deleted article then please take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review and make it there. Please do not simply recreate it as this is in violation of community consensus. Regards, (aeropagitica) 18:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really do urge you to follow the correct procedure when it comes to reintroducing material to the project.

Please stop. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Thank you. (aeropagitica) 18:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Little context in Natalie Denning

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Natalie Denning, by Drivenapart (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Request reason:

please may i be unblocked from wikipedia i was blocked on 8th july 2007 and in the six months since i was blocked i have read the policies and guidlines (and the five pillars) and i have realised that it is the community that makes wikipedia so great and not the indervidual. i am sorry for the vandalism and personal attacks that i have made (i was so sure that what i was editing was right that i did not think about other peoples views or opinions and for that i am sorry). another thing that i am sorry about is being a sockpuppeteer (and denying being one) the reason i did this was because i thought that if i had two accounts with the same views what i was aying would not be edited. i now know that this was wrong and i should have used the user descussion to talk about any editing differences that had occured. i have also realised by observation that certain pages (such as trivia) need to be deleated because they do not cite sources and because they are often articles that have been spun off from a main article but do add any new information of importance. so please can i be unblocked because i have taken time to reflect on what i have done and i want to be an active member of this community again.

Decline reason:

See below. Please realize that if your future request is successful, you will be reblocked immediately if there is any sign of sockpuppetry or harassment. - auburnpilot talk 20:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frat Pack

The Frat Pack is a 1990s-2000s era nickname given to a group of male Hollywood comedy actors who have appeared together in many of the highest grossing movies since the late 1990s, including Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, and Steve Carell. It was coined by USA Today in a story from June 2004.[1] Before USA Today dubbed this group the Frat Pack, Entertainment Weekly referred to them as the "Slacker Pack," but this term is rarely used. Meanwhile, EW had earlier used the term Frat Pack to describe Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Edward Norton, and Ryan Phillippe, but this usage has not been seen elsewhere. Since then, EW has dropped the "Slacker Pack" term, and also began referring to the group as the Frat Pack (Susman 2005). The name is a take-off of the Rat Pack, a nickname given to a group of entertainers in the 1950s and 1960s combined with the shorthand term for a college fraternity, a reference to the group's popular film, Old School. In December 2007, Italian cinema magazine Nocturno published the first 70 pages dossier completely dedicated to the Frat Pack phenomenon.

The Pack

The USA Today article which coined the Frat Pack term listed Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and brothers Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson as members of the group. By 2006, Steve Carell was also included in the Pack when USA Today published another article. Carell claimed membership when hosting Saturday Night Live. Though he did not use the term "Frat Pack," he did say he was "one of those guys now" and specifically referenced Stiller, Vaughn, Ferrell, Owen Wilson, and Black.

A year before citing Carell as a member, USA Today tagged him, in addition to Judd Apatow, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Mindy Kaling, Nancy Walls and Leslie Mann as the Frat Pack's "Junior Varsity." [2] Kaling and Walls haven't been as associated with the group elsewhere, but Details Magazine has cited Apatow (in addition to directors McKay and Phillips) as "The Frat Packagers",[3] while Paul Rudd was cited as a Frat Pack member in the New York Post, among other publications.[4] In an interview with The Advocate, when questioned if Knocked Up will officially welcome him into the Frat Pack, Rudd speculated that he is a "pledge" that hasn't "been initiated yet into the brotherhood." [5]

The members of the Frat Pack often work with certain directors multiple times. Wes Anderson is a college friend of the Wilsons and directed them in both Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums (which also starred Stiller) while Todd Phillips directed both Old School and Starsky & Hutch. Adam McKay directed Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Judd Apatow is the writer/producer of several Frat Pack comedies including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. He made his directorial debut with The 40-Year-Old Virgin starring Steve Carell, and followed up with Knocked Up starring Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, with a cameo by Carell. Apatow was also a cocreator of The Ben Stiller Show. Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin worked again with Vince Vaughn for the Christmas comedy Fred Claus (2007). Subsequently, John C. Reilly who co-starred with Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), will reunite for the comedy Step Brothers and is the star of Walk Hard which has several appearances by actors either in the Frat Pack or have worked with them repeatedly. Reilly also sang at the 2007 Academy Awards with Will Ferrell and Jack Black.
