It needs to be adjusted as Karl's birthday is actually TODAY (12th August)
Thankyou —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.116.139 (talk) 10:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC) And he was not born in Rockhampton. He was born in Sydney 144.136.66.202 (talk) 03:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Helps to confirm as above place of birth in Sydney - http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/television/karl-stefanovic-storms-off-today-set-after-his-nsw-origin-revealed/story-e6frfmyi-1226680628100 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.140.88.5 (talk) 04:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
'almost an entire program was devoted to a discussion of the Republic issue' This statement seems to be biased towards the republican's POV as the description was 'the Republic issue'.Serenacw 05:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
After Get This discussed vandalism on this wiki on 23 Novemeber episode, I think there will be a number of people looking to vandalise this article again - what a pain! --Mikecraig 23:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC) Tony Martin Rules!!!!
Can we make a rule for this page about anyone not adding anything to do with Karl being a robot have only one warning before being blocked? They have similar rules for certain pages. - Mike Beckham 05:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
As of my above comments I have ended up not undoing the vandalism at the moment due to the fact that it just goes straight in after being removed. Maybe it's time for the lock to apear at the top of the screen again. On a recent Pod Cast of "Get This" a caller rang in saying how he had managed to Vandalise this page since it had been taken of protection and people should get back into doing it. Funny? Yes, Funny while trying to keep something accurate? I don't think so. --MattyC3350 02:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Are you serious? What kind of school would make kids do a project on Karl Stefanovic? Besides, kids shouldn't be using Wikipedia as a resource anyway-not without cross checking the information. I don't understand why people are so desperate to keep a page on such a nobody accurate. Honestly who cares?
Addition: Karl has been particularly unpopular in the Australian print media, and general community. There has been speculation as to whether his presence on the Today show has contributed to the demise of the Packer / Nine empire, Source 152, 167 'Who Killed Channel 9?: The Death of Kerry Packer's Mighty TV Dream Machine' Stone, Gerald. 2007.

can we add some misc info and metion karl's nicknames, 'K-amn' which he calles himself, and 'Karlos' which steve calles him!
He doesn't call himself "Cam" - that's his misogynistic mate on the Today show! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.172.214 (talk) 13:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha well played, Long live Get This! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.147.196 (talk) 09:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I know the rules are never followed but How about the novel idea that one article actually follows the rules? Could start a trend on Wiki!
"Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research is to cite reliable sources that provide information directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say."
Suitable references for material or remove the material? --203.192.92.73 13:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes thats the Wikipedia rules without references as it is now, its origonal research or POV which WIKI is not about. This must be deleted according to the rules.--Polygamyx4 10:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
"Career
Stefanovic graduated from Queensland University of Technology with a degree in journalism in 1994 and began working for WIN Television in Rockhampton and Cairns as a cadet reporter[1]."
This is the only thing referenced and therefore follows the rules. Everything else should be deleted as it not referenced.--Polygamyx4 10:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
So? fact is not a requisite for use in WIKI "the only way to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research is to cite reliable sources"
Than again, no article on here conforms to the rules of cite reliable sources and many others. Whats the point of having any rules since this the main one is never followed? Its a joke!--203.192.92.73 12:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
In the past hour I have undone about 3 changes of someone placing infomation on Karl being a robot. If the article is in protected mode this means that a regestered user must be doing this, thus I think there should be a deletion/ban of account as soon as someone does this again as its just becoming far beyond a joke. --MattyC3350 00:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
You've only undone 1 change. Please don't lie when it is blatantly obvious.--Scmods 00:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
I think you are just missing the joke matty —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.18.185 (talk) 05:20, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
I think you have Karl's birthdate wrong - you have January, when I think it is actually August.
As a regular reader of the Today show blog, he refers to his 'birthday weekend' in the blog he wrote for Monday 13th August.
Here is the link to the blog page, but you'll need to scroll down to the 13th August.

Referencing to IMDb doesn't prove the birthdate, as they got it from you! If his own blog says' August, then surely this should be checked!
I can certainly remember watching Today on 13 August 2007 (Monday) and Lisa dobbing him in that he had a birthday on the Sunday and that he turned 33, which would make him be born on 12 August 1974. Unfortunately, I can't find anything to back me up at the moment. Frances76 (talk) 10:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
However, also note that if he graduated from uni in 1994, then he has to be older than 33! The mystery deepens Frances76 (talk) 10:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I watched the Today Show today (12/08/08) and they were celebrating Karl's birthday, although I didn't catch a mention of how old he was. (SnowBea (talk) 01:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC))
After all of the recent drama with the robot theme can it be made so that an edit will have to be reviewed by an administrator before it is displayed. This way the Get This listeners won't get their 10 seconds of fame. Cpahor 07:37, 23 Borgust 2007 (UTC)
I added the Get This Robot information just to test to see if this at least maybe slows down the ammout of vandalism on this page. Just that if someone comes in to do that sort of edit, they will see that there is already a section on the page discussing it. Hope I did not get anyone mad. --MattyC3350 (talk) 11:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
This article makes no mention of Stefanovic's Serbian descent, and judging by the article alone he has no connection to the Serbian community other than his name, so what purpose does translating his name serve? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.245.74 (talk) 05:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
His father is serb and his mother from Australia. Whats the point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.24.60 (talk) 20:29, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Should read: "Queensland University of Technology", not "Queensland University for Technology" 14/06/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashleighelizabeth (talk • contribs) 09:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

You're spot on. Up for a Gold Logie??? What joke! He'll go the same way as Jessica Rowe - both of them are ratings poison. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.61.127 (talk) 04:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
This whole edit request is nonsense from start to finish and will be reverted if added. Check the edit history of this talk page and the article for similar nonsense. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 04:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
On the TODAY show, (Wednesday 17th July 2013), Karl admits to being born in Hurtsville NSW and moving to Queensland when very young. This followed after a tweet from his brother, regarding support for the State Of Origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.78.76 (talk) 22:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
this seems to indicate he was born in Darlinghurst, NSW — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.5.64 (talk) 04:34, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

== He really is a robot == After seeing his work in the past fortnight - displaying a complete lack of empathy for the distraught bushfire victims I would say Karl Stefanovic really is a robt. And my reference is Media Watch from Tuesday 17 February - check it out on ABC's iview. I challenge you to watch that performance and identify one shred of humanity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chapdgers (talk • contribs) 03:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC) |

No need to act though I note here that Karl says his father changed his name from Stefarnonovitch to Stefanovic https://www.newidea.com.au/karl-stefanovics-dad-alex-tells-all-why-we-will-never-speak-again
He says he is Serbian, then Croatian then "it's complicated" https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=5162865550485182
Here he says he is Yugoslav https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/karl-stefanovic-under-fire-after-comments-on-media-diversity-report/tpha2cg8c Franko velebitan (talk) 14:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
