=Pronounciation=

How do you pronounce his last name? Is it like the English word "Person" or something more like "Pierce-son?" Or something completely different?

I would say it like Per Son --Haxelnut 06:28, 27 August 2010 (PDT)
 * It's a bit like the English word "person", but imagine a British accent. You know how final r's are dropped? Implement this on the first syllable. The e, however, sounds like the e in "bed", rather than the usual sound you get in that way. As for the second syllable, it's like an sh sound but the tongue is curled up a bit, like a stereotypical Russian/Hindi accent, or a sound you may hear a bit in Swedish if you're familiar with it. The o is like the sound you get for o's in English, but it's not a diphthong. Imagine saying "oh" but cut short halfway through the syllable. I know, lengthy description, but I'm very knowledgeable in linguistics and that's the best I can do without throwing IPA up. xD If you still didn't get it, check out this audio clip I found on Google. -  JWhitt 07:29, 5 September 2010 (CDT)
 * As I wrote in the page itself, it's "pair-son" or "pear-son", as described by Notch himself. Citation inline in the page. --meioziz 16:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

= At last! =

Finally, a proper page about Notch on this wiki. Can I suggest we delete or archive the current talk page, as it is now all out of date and irrelevant? --DannyF1966 14:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * your prayers have been answered!--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 15:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

why dont we have a topic on the "ghoststory" of Notchs brother, Herobrine, its true notch has a bro. So why isnt this included???
 * For the sake of the community and how they like jokes, would it be feasible/practical to have a sub-page of Notch for the joke-related info? --JonTheMon 15:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think, this time, maybe not. after the mass-spam, it seems unlikely. however, you can archive a version in your Userspace. I have only archived Notch Time, as the rest seemed like rubbish. --Kizzycocoa 15:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I would like to vote for Notch time staying (or on a separate page), as that is still useful (and not fake) information about dates promised by Notch, and the date it actually occurred. The VDC keeps the Valve time article and they don't like nonsense pages, so I think it is still appropriate for the wiki. – ultradude25 ( T at 15:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. I find it funny, but still semi-serious.--Kizzycocoa 16:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I want a sub page for the facts about Notch from before. I love the useless jokes!--Reed501 22:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

No*somanyos*!!!!!
I want the jokes back.

Pretty pointless... --YaYaBinksMinecraft 19:11, 4 January 2011

Xvox's edits
Should we allow jokes on the Notch page? I'm sure this is a violation of Wiki Rule #7 AND #19. Drenay 14:50, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPP--Xvox 01:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)


 * If you want to make childish jokes, do it in your namespace. – ultradude25 ( T at 01:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * We used to have this page full of jokes and it was horrible. It took me about an hour or two to rewrite the entire page and I will not let that effort go to waste.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, dear Quatroking, just because YOU edited a page doesn't make it better. You should think about the wiki's benefits, and not how hard YOU worked to do something. That was a great section that everyone enjoyed besides you and a small minority. You should have at least gave us the option to VOTE whether or not we want it to be removed. The least you can do now is to give us a special page for little jokes and giggles. Yes. I KNOW this is the Minepedia and not the Mine-jokebook, but having that section removed just because YOU thought it's useless only proves that YOU are an DOUCHE.

 * While I agree that me editing the page does not grant the page godmode, the page was rewritten because it barely covered anything about Notch at all, more than 90% of the page was fiction. All I was saying is that I don't want to turn the page back into a horrible page full of crappy jokes and whatnot, covering nothing about Notch himself at all. This wiki is meant to document Minecraft, including Mojang and its creator, not as a jokebook like you said yourself. If you want fiction so bad head off to your own userpage. We are not a work of fiction, and there's no need to yell at me for that.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  19:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I must concur in part to the above. In the edit field, you are explicitly told "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it".
 * As for jokes, I to having jokes (if it is up for debate). However, only under some conditions. For example, any "chuck norris" facts, should go in like, a separate article. Perhaps Notch/Jokes. As for smaller jokes, such as noting Notch Time, stating him as self-proclaimed god, or other minor touches should be allowed, as long as they are small and minor and do not overrule the wiki page's main purpose.
 * But there cannot be an article plastered with stupid jokes. That cannot happen again.--Kizzycocoa 17:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that should be kept to the userspace, linked to only if it's REALLY good (ie. Notch Time). On this case specifically, Xvox's edits are just vandalism. They detract from the article. The only humor that should be kept on mainspace in general are quotes from the person themselves.


 * Also, TheYeIIowDucK, personal attacks don't help you out here. Just sayin'. --Gnu32 17:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I just want to make clear, my previous edit only supported a small part of his comment, which has happened in the past, however that has been discussed to death. The insults, however are unacceptable, and such behaviour needs to stop now, before bans start being handed out.--Kizzycocoa 17:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

=Drops= Dooes Notch really drop red apples? Or is it just a joke? Hello? Is anyone there? ._. 22:33, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes he does. – ultradude25 ( T at 22:51, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Adding pic of Notch with his third hat
Should we add a picture with Notch and his new (third) hat? http://twitpic.com/4tnwya --Tempelchat 13:20, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

HAPPY B-DAY NOTCH!!!
HAPPY B-DAY MAN!!!! -Njpa

Notch is the Creator!!!
My life was dull until the day Minecraft was created. As I played it it was like someone had just opened my eyes for the first time!!!!

Long live Notch!!!!!!!!!!

Notable thing
In one of ChilledChaos's Creature server videos, he was using /say to act as if he was god. At one point, they said something about Notch (they just said the name, really), and he said that was his human name. Some time later, he asked if that is impersonating someone, if he can get in trouble for doing what he did. I assume that you are ok that he did that? LikeLakers2 22:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
