Talk:Jerry Messing

Full name
It seems that "Fey Dora" has been added to the full name as a joke. Probably in reference to the popular image of Jerry Messing tipping a fedora. ps. I'm euphoric. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.166.29.62 (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Is he really noteworthy?
I know he's become popular recently because of the fedora meme but is he really so noteworthy that he gets his own Wikipedia article? Linuxrox (talk) 23:11, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I was actually going to say the same thing, but it looks like this page was created in 2005 and had a few edits between then and mid-2014 when it was hit hard, so I guess he was considered notable enough a long time before that started. BoxofPresents (talk) 03:07, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The fedora note isn't even in the article. It is mentioned http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tips-fedora here.  I'd add a link to it but some jerk would come along and remove it for fun and so I checked the history and that's basically the history of the article, jerks repeatedly removing the most notable thing about him for fun.

Fedora Guy
It's regrettable that he earned this handle; the hat he's wearing is called a Trilby, not a Fedora. The brim of a Fedora is broader, and in general, a Fedora is a softer, floppier hat than a Trilby. Fedoras are always either felt or straw; Trilbys are made of any old fabric. The back of a Trilby's brim is always flipped up; it's common for the back of a Fedora's brim to be flipped down.

I've made an edit to this section accordingly.

At the expense of atheists
It seems like it is simply certain atheists which are ones that call people who believe in a god or gods stupid ArizonacardinalsFan (talk) 04:42, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
