How do you know this? And why is his father's surname "Ferry"? Badagnani ( talk) 03:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
His parents are Jim and Penny Ferry. Says so in the linked article from his local newspaper. DFS ( talk) 05:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

His real name isn't Guy Fieri. -- Erroneuz1 ( talk) 15:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Guy was not born in Riverside, New Jersey. He was born in Columbus, Ohio. I am not sure where this information came from. There are no public references to cite this for accuracy. I work for Guy and he has asked me to change this along with some other things. Tomn2002 ( talk) 16:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Wow - what class - he has his employees trolling his wikipedia article? Maybe he should focus on his food more and his image less (including his experimental pronunciation of his stage name.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.157.242 ( talk) 22:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The external links section should include the Official Blog, Official YouTube Channel, the Official Facebook page, and the Official Twitter. Please do not remove these again. Zenergy Works is Guy's authorized SEO / SMO / SEM company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZenergyWorks ( talk • contribs) 17:22, 4 December 2010
We have reviewed the terms, and we believe that because these are Official sources and because that is verifible, and because Zenergy Works, an SEO company based in Santa Rosa, CA is the controlling interest in the online presence of Guy Fieri, that these links qualify as Official links and should be treated as such. They are in no way meant to promote Guy, but merely to offer fans of Guy Fieri more Official sources of information.

The article says he "grew up in Ferndale, California (attending Piner High School),[2]" The article referenced is about him winning the Next Food Network Star and does not contain mention of either Ferndale or Piner High School. He very well may have grown up in Ferndale (judging from the picture of him as a child selling pretzels in a wooded area that looks like that part of Northern California), but the source is wrong. As well, there is a Piner High School in Santa Rosa (it's on Wikipedia, duh) but there isn't one in Ferndale that I know of. Point being this info needs to be properly sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlauNacht ( talk • contribs) 17:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
There is no Piner High School in Ferndale. The article makes it look like he grew up and went to Piner High School in Ferndale which would be impossible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.197.247.87 ( talk) 04:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I have restored the edit because the only reason they were removed was good faith but misapplied "per BLP - tabloid". I took pains to make sure the addition, which could be challenged or likely to be challenged without sourcing, was attributed to a reliable, published source using inline citation --exactly as per WP:BLP. My best guess is the assumption made in the removal is the City Pages somehow run afoul of a subjective opinion on what is "tabloid journalism" in the WP:BLP line "Material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism." That completely misconstrues the paper, an alternative newspaper published in the tabloid format, and seems to not pay attention the very sources cite: it in takes its queue from two professionals that worked with Fieri for 11 years as well as his own reply. I tried to properly characterize the relationship of one of the individuals cited as being in conflict with Fieri, and anyone can read the source to make their own judgment. I also wrote out an edit summary that pointed out that more might be added as this develops (the story was published a few days ago, I saw it when I picked up the hard copy). Obviously, we can talk this out, but based on my assumption that there was a mistake on how to register City Pages, I restored for now. -- Bobak ( talk) 03:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
I am a longtime reader and supporter of Wikipedia.
As such, it is my fervent hope that this section remain part of the article for all time. Please, in the name of all that is good on the internet, please refrain from editing this citation out of existence.

I agree with the above user. The additions to the "Popular Culture" section that occurred today are parts of the webcomic "MS Paint Adventures", where a page from today states the "antichrist" and "supreme court" comments. The page in question can be found here. I see no reason why a "Popular Culture" area could not be placed on this page as they are true facts of his reputation with at least the MS Paint Adventures fanbase. -- 108.65.189.25 ( talk) 05:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Keep it out. It's trivia, recentism, and poorly sourced. -- Ronz ( talk) 00:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Let wikipedia have its fun guys. We have outlets like TVTropes and MSPAWiki to include information that is relevant to our interests and without having to deal with moderators that won't listen to reason. Everyone knows the edits were done to troll, and most know that Wikipedia is irrelevant when it comes to internet culture regardless - JG

@8472: How far does your line of argument go? Should mentions of references in Homestuck appear on the Wikipedia page for Betty Crocker? For Fruit Gushers? For Bing Crosby? Should a mention of Dave's iShades appear on the Apple Inc. page? Should the page for Martha Stewart mention this Sexy Losers strip? 74.79.22.82 ( talk) 02:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I have a feeling Fieri does not know what He studied or graduated with. In one episode of Triple D I saw last year on Food Network, he mentioned that when He went to UNLV, he studied PoliSci. Is there any chance we can find out what is right, please? I am aware he's on UNLV's alumni page as '90 BS Hotel Management, but that's from an article in Premier Magazine. I think it would be a good idea to actually contact UNLV and verify that what is published in that source is absolutely correct. If the man himself says he studied PoliSci, who the hell are we to argue with him? :) CharlieTheCabbie ( talk) 17:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
