Talk:Fez Whatley/Archives/2013

Old comments

I love how somebody changed the page to say that Fez is dead... And that the date of his death is TOMORROW (7-17-08).Gilmourd (talk) 19:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Fez is known as several other on air names such as Tossy McSalad, Tappy and Jinxy." Can those really be considered 'on air' names? I believe the first was just a joke and the last two are nicknames. It's not like the show was ever known as "the Ron and Tappy Show".

I have renamed that section "Fez's Characters/Aliases". Although Tappy isn't a character, it's a nickname that has been used quite a bit. I removed the "characters" that were obviously part of the bit when Ron gave Fez's friend (relative?) the list of Fez's former characters (not actual characters, but a joke on Fez). I'll remove the others once I can confirm that they were also part of it. DestradoZero 16:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The following was added by an anonymous user that I removed:

His name is a tribute to professional wrestler Pez Whatley.

Unless Fez has said this himself, it's only speculation. If Fez did say it, then it should have a reference.

    I remember Ron bringing up Pez's death on the show, prefacing it by saying 'Fez, this wrestling death is going to hurt you the most' and calling him "Fez's namesake'.  Not conclusive evidence, but Fez clearly knows of his wrestling counterpart. 
     

Fez drives a large van and lives in Centreville, Virginia. He lives with his cat, Fuzz Whatley, in a large house with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers decorative motif.

Again, trivial and probably untrue. Fez works in New York City... thats a 5 hour commute each way, 10 hours in total. --Kevin McManus 21:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It MIGHT have been true when they were still doing their show on WJFK in Fairfax, Virgina. However, it has been stated multiple times on their XM show that he currently lives on Roosevelt Island in NYC (or, as Ron calls it, "Retard Island"). In fact, it was mentioned that when the Roosevelt Island tram broke down (as mentioned here), Fez had only missed being on it by about 15 minutes. Hossenfeffer 09:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Trivia

The trivia, while funny, is not encylopedic. They are just stories/bits mentioned on the show. They're great for a fan site or message board, but not Wikipedia. Please read the Guideline on citing Wikipedia:Reliable sources. If you can't provide citations, they can't be re-added. --Bill.matthews 15:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that the trivia is important, and pretty much every radio related page is just stories and bits mentioned on the show. However, rather than deleting everything unilaterally, how about working with us to source everything? That seems to be the wikipedia way, rather than just saying it cant be put in and reverting all of the changes you dont care for. Im sure all of our intentions are good here.

The trivia is not notable, and can't be sourced. Does it really matter that he hates libraries or uses a special chair when showering? This is an encylopedia, not a fan site. --Bill.matthews 04:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Lutheran?

Is this person really Lutheran? If so, then at least a comment about his religion and connection to Lutheranism (whether practicing or raised) needs to be added since as the article is written right now, he could just as eaisly be claimed as just about anything. jackturner3 15:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

His religion may have been mentioned in passing on the show, but he certainly shouldn't be listed as a prominent lutheran. Wtbe7560 21:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

dumb

stupid asshole - where the hell is there a source regarding a news program that showed fezz walking around bleary eyed? the whole sentence is horribly written. It makes little sense. FIX IT OR LEAVE IT OUT YOU JERK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.53.227 (talk • contribs) 09:02, May 26, 2007 (UTC)

First off, don't curse or you'll be banned for life from Wikipedia; Second, CAPS is not cruise control for awesome loser.

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL SHITHEAD but even with cruise you still have to steer Wtbe7560 (talk) 15:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Real name

What's our source for "Todd Alan Hillier" being his real name?   Will Beback  talk  20:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

He's been referred to that way on the show more than once. Dave b kc (talk) 01:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

How can I verify that?   Will Beback  talk  02:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

His name has been mentioned on the show in passing, even by famuily members, usually followed by a "Hey, don't say that name" kind of reply. This is one of those cases where it is nearly certain that this is true, but is equally difficult to verify through reliable sources (as he doesn't like it being brought up apparently). Thus we have something that is True, but not Verifiable. As this is a BLP, I'm of the opinion that we should err on the side of verifiability. If we remove the ref to his name, this also nullifies Ref#1 in the article, I would expect. Arakunem^Talk 14:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

If somebody found that just by searching through a newspaper archive for a name that we can't verify is his, then yes, it should go. Ref number five, which appears to be original research, would also go, though the description of "radio host" is a bit of evidence. It seems like we should be able to establish this somehow.   Will Beback  talk  16:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I've tried to find RS for it. It is made difficult by all the fan sites and Wikipedia mirrors. All the actual trade sources never seem to mention his real name though... Arakunem^Talk 17:11, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I checked Proquest, a newspaper archive, and couldn't find anything there either.   Will Beback  talk  18:25, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Enough of the unfunny editing!

I know Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez fans think they're being clever when they add in their inside jokes as facts to these entries, but in reality it's moronic and just plain vandalism. I also cheat on my wife and fuck babies. 24.187.134.57 04:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I suck large amounts of dick. --71.244.125.226 03:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
