PETE WENTZ



First of all, let me say, I am Pete's personal assistant. I am in love with Lana Rose. she is amazing.Also Pete Wentz's girlfriend is May-May. i want to marry her but there are no stars in the sky to wish on. Anyway, please dont stop posting stupid things about this man.he hasn't done nothing to anyone except make fans throw up. i am sure he is sick. he is happy to hear b.s. posted on wikipedia(which is suppose to help people) and other websites. put yourself in his position and think about how he feels towards the rumors that are going around about him. i can personally assure you, he hates when people like him. i am a huge fall out boy fan and it makes me feel so good to see what people say about your idols.in conclusion, please keep posting false material, because people actualluy believe it!


==Rough Pete== Pete Wentz may have had some rough times but he did hurt many people and everyone involved is offended so i think we should just leave it at that. besides hes not hot.Insert non-formatted text here

[edit] Fight On stage

Pete beat up a security guard when the gaurd said hi to him.:What about something mentioning when he beat up that security guard recently at a concert?

[edit] Ridiculous Editing

Under "Enterprises", in the second sentence, "The title was plagiarized from a track off of the Smiths' critically-acclaimed record The Queen is Dead." the word "plagiarised" doesn't seem encyclopedic. Perhaps it should say "taken"? 202.89.142.200 10:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

the first paragraph is so true. oral sex with gorillas? and that line under his picture, "emo playing pocket pool"? it's seriously true.

Whoever 15 year old wrote in the part about his movie into his biography, good job! Everytime I read this article it's true... and in a good way... Pete has also recently taken to calling himself "Ms. New Booty", and a patio umbrella. He lands rather roughly and so begins the stupid things that the group does. Often called Jackass with Fall Out Boy, it closely resembles that due to profanity, nudity, and a lot of laughs. There is also a humerous short that Patrick Stumph and Pete made called 'Bedussey.' There are only three characters and two actors. Bad Twin and Bedussey are played by Patrick Stumph and Pete plays Pancho. The two form a humorous short about two guys who want cocaine. Dont worry kids, Pete and Fall Out Boy has plenty of smart, mature fans too. I have deleted those pharagraphs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.203.243.154 (talk • contribs) .

-- Someone put "is very cool" next to his name above the picture box thingo, so I removed it Calum Smith 04:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

i'm glad the page has been cleared up since i last saw it, but surely considering pete is a contemporary artist, much more of his work should be documented? little things, like co-hosting the pre-show MTV Movie Awards 2006; i agree the battle with depression is significant (in that he has admitted it, and it probably has a bearing on his lyrics); as regard the 'overdose', as far as i know, he has never specifically labelled the event to be a suicidal attempt. his own words should be used there. i'm not sure if the GAP advert is just rumour or whether it's been verified yet - if there's verification, then his modelling career requires documentation. What about SOAP? (Snakes on a plane) - pete cameos in the video to the title track and decaydance is putting the soundtrack out. - aaliya

for the record. you cannot overdose on ativan. i've watched someone try. you can't get your hands on enough pills. it just turns you into mush though. assuming he weighs like 140 pounds (he isn't THAT big)... the LD50 for that size is around 128 grams. maximum pill dosage? 2mg. to 'overdose' on it would be a ridiculous concept. you cannot die for taking too much ativan, you would need around 64000 pills to do it. although, this could be used as an agent to reduce the fear neccessary to commit suicide, from that statment, it's medically unclear on if he inteded to commit suicide by taking ativan or by committing an action to commit suicide. 30-50 pills (the average someone can take on one prescription) has nearly the same effect as 7-10 2mg pills. there is no further degradation in muscle relaxment, no further loss in basic emotions and just a slight increase in pain tolerence. so, if he had the physical capability to attempt suicide via other methods other than ingesting copious quantities of ativan, and it could be proved. then this would make sense. but otherwise, he's just a troubled kid who has no commons sense, and probably didn't want to commit suicide and used it as another of his 'terrific' attention whore moments... the previously aformentioned is fact (about ativan, i've had to deal with this one before regarding ex-g/f's...) but the later part is probably true speculation (but unverifiable... unfortunately...), knowing pete wentz. --evesummernight

[edit] Photos

Someone should upload a photo of of Pete. I'm useless at uploading photos into Wikipedia, since I can never figure out what the copyright status is, so it definately shouldn't be me. Any takers? witchbaby 00:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll get one of him live from the promo pictures they have on the FOB website. —Akrabbimtalk 20:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Awesome. Personally, I think that as all wikipedia bio sites should have pictures of the subject. But like I said, I'm USELESS at figuring out what the copyright status of pictures is. witchbaby 20:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


Someone even scared the hell outta me by saying pete is dead on here. HE IS NOT DEAD! Haha, poking fun at his um... sexuality isn't funny... he's aids free. -

[edit] To Be Added?

Hey. Pete studied Political Science at DePaul University. Please could someone add this to his biography? Source: [1]. Thanks, Myke251 00:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Pete Wentz is either bi-curious or bisexual. He has admitted to it in the March 2007 issue of BLENDER magazine. Jonah Weiner was the interviewer. He asked Pete if he has kissed boys and Pete responded with, "I have. Anybody above the waist is totally fair game."

[edit] facts section

Someone posted a whole plethora of facts about Pete under the "facts," section, however most of the facts are already stated somewhere else in the article (such as name, birthdate, birthplace, etc...) or they were very irrelevant, such as "he has teddy bear shoes." I erased them.

Again with the facts section -- tons of unverified and out of context material. This needs to be fixed gradually.--Esprit15d 13:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
The ones I felt were not relevant to an enclyclopedia article, that sounded more like things on a fansite, I removed. The other two facts I left can be found mentioned in Spin magazine, I believe it is the January 2006 issue. Spuddy 17 03:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok some fact that i know is wrong is that Pete never attended that high school. He attended Fremd High School!! I should khow i live very near there. And i have heard from many sources that he went to Fremd!

[edit] Pete's battle with depression

I erased the sentences that talked about Pete's battle with depression. Though factual, it really has nothing to do with his biography, especially comments such as "the lovely lyricist."

Actually, that does have something to do with his biography. I would have to review the statment to see if was well-worded or if it was being related to something irrelevant, but simply because it was about depression is not a valid reason erase a factual statement.--Esprit15d 22:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rumors

Please do not post rumors, such as "He is engaged to Amie," when if fact he is not The sentence talking about alcoholism running in Pete's family, and then going on to say that he is straight edge and vegetarian, or he once was, is speculation, unless you can post sources for these statements. —sammy randell

Actually, him being engaged was a confirmed fact. Whether it is to Amie or not, that is a different story.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO POST RUMORS, THEY CAN. RUMORS ARE NOT TRUE. IF HE'S NOT ENGAGED TO AMIE, THEN ITS A RUMOR. LET IT BE. YOU DON'T RUN THE BAND FALL OUT BOY AND YOU'RE NOT THEIR PR REP. LET IT GO. THANK YOU.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan website. Rumors have no merit to be posted here. Do not post rumors, they will be removed immediately. Also, irrelevant facts such as "He wears a size 4 in Hollister jeans" have no merit in this article. They will be removed as well.Spuddy 17 01:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Where are people getting this info about pete directing a movie? this seems like just a rumor. is there some sort of source for this info?
he is directing a movie "Release the Bats"
Pete's depression IS a major part of his life; depression is a major part of the life of ANYONE who has it. What information that is had should be added to the article.

He is engaged to katie Johnson of Fort worth texas

wait why does it say he was going out with patrick, i SERIOUSLY doubt that, no matter how awesome pat pat is, lol, but seriouswly why would someone write that? its obviously fake, i would apriciate if someone would remove that, its on "backround info" under "labels"207.200.116.11 02:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)JeSSi D.

That was probably a misprint...Mr. Wentz was quoted as saying that if he were gay he would date Patrick Stump Blueboi86 16:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I heard here that he was dead but then I didn't see it again so whatever B**** posted that I would like to kick your ass. Anig168 20:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] correction

I erased the statement that Pete has written all of Fall Out Boy's lyrics. That is incorrect. Patrick did pen some lyrics from "Take This To Your Grave." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spuddy 17 (talk • contribs).

whoever wrote this is inncorrect because if you have the fall out boy CD you can see at the bottom of the last page it says Lyrics by Pete Wentz and Music by Patrick(which mean he wrote the note for the music)
No, actually I am not incorrect. Patrick wrote the lyrics of the verses in "Saturday," and he also wrote the first verse of "Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes." I believe it was the "Take This to Your Grave Director's Cut" where he talks about this. Pete and Patrick have also talked about how with their new album (From Under the Cork Tree) they decided to have Pete write all the lyrics, and Partick write all of the music, as opposed to both of them trying to do both tasks, as they did on "Take This to Your Grave." You must be looking at "From Under the Cork Tree", because the insert for "Take This to Your Grave" does not have pages, and in the credits section it says "lyrics by Peter Wentz and Patrick Stump." :) Spuddy 17 19:12, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it DOES say lyrics written by Pete and Patrick. Only recently has Peter become the main lyricist. Patrick used to assist before the compromise that would each stick to a certain task. Like, Peter writing lyrics, and Patrick writing the music.

[edit] Semiprotection

This page is semiprotected now due to massive vandalism by anon users. Please let me know if anyone has an objection. Thanks. --BorgQueen 21:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

How about semi-protecting this again? All sorts of crap is constantly put into this article. jni 19:39, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I dont really see a reason for protection as much as prehaps an addition about the leaking of his sidekick pictures...the only reason I feel these are being kept from the site is because of fans who want to forget about the incident; I would love to forget about alot of things, but it still happened and is still reason for addition to his wiki.
I agree, we need to semi-protect this page again. This entry is going to be hammered with crap about pictures, when it's not of any value to be included in this article. -evianboy
You don't think that news about is sidekick getting hacked needs to be added? It's still a part of his infamy now.
Couldn't possibly be more relevant. Expanded the information and added a bunch of citations. -VJ 02:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok, yesterday I applied for this page to be semi-protected (again), so now new and unregistered users can't screw around with the page. I'm thinking this might need to be permanent, since people just can't seem to help themselves. witchbaby 22:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] research projct on Pete; i need help

i am doing a report on pete for a class and there are some things i need to know that i cant find the answers for.can someone help me?these are some of the questions i need to know the answers to:

At what age did he show a talent/interest for his future career?
He once said he started playing bass when he was 14. He said he stole it from his friends older brother. He was also in the Band Arma Angelus before Fall Out Boy as well as a few other small small bands

actually age 14 was when he started playing in bands. so he probably started playing bass a little earlier than that.

What role did the family have in encouraging or discouraging development of this talent or interest?
his family was pretty suportive. his dad was described as 'the only person wearing a tie at the shows' and his mom has a fob bumper sticker on her car. i cant say for sure but i think they were pretty ok with it. pete wasnt like a perfect child or anything, he says that his mom stopped really caring what he did after she decided that it was all for attention and stuff.
What special training did he have?
At what age did he first do something that people, other than his family thought was exceptional? What accomplishment was this?
What unusual things happened in his life that had an effect on his career?
ummm, he overdosed once. that probably affected everything, including his career for obvious reasons.
this happened in a best buy parking lot if u cared. he said that since the thumsia he had been parinoied and depressied thats why he took the pills and overdosed.
Did he have any handicaps? Explain.
depression. esp. during the recording of fuct. cause he was homesick and would go record and then sit in his room under a blanket wanting the world to go away. it was pretty hard for him to do both. Patrick was pretty scared by it all.
What special awards did he win,if any?
mtv VMA and and MTVU Woody award and he got nominated for a grammy. Blender Magazine also had Sugar We're going Down as #4 best song of 2005.
What was one special event that was a highlight in his life once fame was reached?
pete always talks about how amazing it was to see people singing the lyrics to the songs (which he wrote) louder than patrick at his shows. He also said being able to show his family "all the practices and buying them a van and equipment paid off, and turned into something they could be proud of" in their "my heart will always be the b-side to my tongue dvd" (i suggest you watch it, it has good info)i donno if that counts cause i donno the exact event...

if any of you know the answer to any of these questions or could direct me to a place where i could find the answer,it would help A LOT.this report is due on February 10, so i need the answers SOON!

Try these links: [2] and [3]. Best wishes! --Esprit15d 19:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
wat is the main topic of the assignment? -XchloeXlovesXpeterX User: Armapunk79

I deffinately agree with the semiprotection; some things recently added into the article could be seen as vandalism.--Foofyfoof246 02:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Ņ == the infamous pictures == Okay, Thivierr removed the following section, citing that it is gossip and blogs are not reputable sources:

--Scandal--
In March of 2006, nude photos of Pete Wentz were posted on the Internet to the LiveJournal community Oh No They Didn't. After the pictures spread across the Internet [4], Wentz posted a response on Fall Out Boy's website and blog alleging that the pictures were stolen from his T-Mobile Sidekick. Wentz's account conflicts with that of the original LiveJournal post which states that Wentz sent these pictures to a woman in whom he had romantic interest (the girlfriend of an ex-best friend [5]).

I don't think we can have this article not make mention of this incident, since it put Pete Wentz on the map for a lot of people (it was all over radio stations and even mentioned on Fall Out Boy's official website). The section does not use the blogs as a source, so much as it does reference the blogs to justify saying "this was posted to the blogs" or "the blog said this", which is, of course, true. There's no debating the pictures were posted, there's no debating what the blog said, and it was all important enough to rile the article's subject himself. Plus, the latter blog is owned by somebody who the band has publicized ties to. If the blog belonged to the band itself, would posts on it not be reputable enough to be sourced?

If you want to clean this up somehow, so that it doesn't "reference" blogs and only mentions Wentz's reaction on the Fall Out Boy website without explaining the situation at all (does this sound reasonable to anyone?) then do so, but I don't see how this article can not mention this incident... -VJ 16:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I've added the 'picture incident' in, how can you leave that out? that's like not mentioning paris hilton was involved in a sextape on her page.- Brodey
And yet the people insistent on removing this section are not commenting on it here. This needs to stop. Spuddy 17 removed Brody's attempt at documenting the incident, citing the talk page, when he has NOT commented on that topic here. If neither Spuddy 17 nor Thivierr makes a reasonable retort, I am re-adding a section on the incident in a day. This is ridiculous. The incident must be mentioned. If you guys take issue with the way we are covering it, then think of a better way instead of just removing it without discussion. -VJ 06:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay, done. -VJ 01:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
First of all, not only is adding about someone's personal pictures riduculous, but to even link to sites where they are at is just wrong. What encyclopedia, in the history of the world, would do that? Is that what wikipedia is for? Gossip and scandal? No, I believe that's the National Enquirer. This is a guy, he is in a band, a notable thing, and the only information that is encyclopedia-worthy would be name, birthplace, dob, short bio and what he is involved in. If my friend were to have pictures posted on the internet of nudity, would that be worthy of a wikipedia entry? Stop adding this nonsense! You bring the whole quality of the site down. Evianboy 16:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I'll concede that we should remove the links to sites where they are posted, but not mentioning them is like saying we shouldn't mention the Monica Lewinsky stuff on Clinton's article because him being president is notable enough. -VJ 21:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey! Stop Debating if the links should be there or not. just leave them. its really no big deal...Personally I like them there... -XchloeXlovesXpeterX User:Armapunk79
Would you open up the Encyclopedia Britannica and find links or directions to nude pictures? [User:Evianboy|Evianboy]] 20:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
sure why not... -XchloeXlovesXpeterX
The Encyclopedia Britannica is peppered with, not only nudity, but referals to nudity and scandalous stories. You need to read the book The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World. It was a real eye opener for this guy too. --Esprit15d 13:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I commented out the links. Is that better? -VJ 07:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I think they should be there... -XchloeXlovesXpeterX
PLEASE READ The section on Wentz's nude photos is about the article's topic (Pete Wentz), definitely verifiable, and so newsworthy that Wentz felt the need to comment on the incident on his website. Additionally, the section has been written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. So this information meets wikipedia's standard for inclusion. Being a fan, or that the incident is "inappropriate" or "obscene", or personally thinking the incident is blown out of porportion (even if true) in no way merit the information to be removed. Edit wars, however, are against wikipedia policy, and this page (and most popular musician pages) have been subject to egregious amounts of vandalism and random edits. If you have the desire to remove large portions of content based on any criteria other than NPOV, copyediting, or verifiablity, it needs to be discussed here first, or it will be handled as vandalism.--Esprit15d 13:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for speaking out on my side, as I've largely been defending this section myself. [User:Evianboy|Evianboy]], however, simply won't listen. I seeked help from the administrator issue panel and was told that since he reverts less often than three times a day, he doesn't violate the three-revert rule and this should just be treated as a content dispute. Note that all removals of the Scandal section in the past month or so have been by Evianboy or an IP which is clearly his (since it makes the exact same types of edits on this page and blanked all my test warnings from his talk page - the IP was also used to make many consistently stupid and immature vandalism edits), so it's really just one guy we're dealing with here. -VJ 17:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vegetarian/Straight Edge

how would either of these be documented to begin with. it would all have to be first hand accounts. And all his old friends will tell you, Pete sold out hard. Started eating meat on the first falloutboy tour, does coke among other thinngs now.

--Well, if we can find a source for these points, then they should be added, only in a way to make clear of his change of ideals however. --Threatis 02:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Those Naked Photos

have absolutely nothing to do with an entry on wikipedia about pete. if you want gossip, read seventeen magazine.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by SanteMuerte (talk • contribs).

It wasn't gossip, it's fact that he admitted and caused contreversy in his life. Sorry but it's a notable event. Myrockstar 22:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mixed!!

Uh since when is Pete mixed!! African-American + white. Uh NAH!!! He's ONLY white ppl. Dur. Ya'll are idiots if u think hes mixed.--68.239.252.85 04:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

wtf. he may not be black, but he IS something other than white. indian, black SOMETHING, ive seen his mom, and she is really dark. unless it was like someone elses mom that he called his own. and ive seen his dads too.
FIND A PICTURE OF HIS OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, AND THEN SAY THAT.
Isn't she Pacific Islander?
I dont know... Im really not sure on that. But Pete would be darker if he was 1/2 black and 1/2 white. So hes probably 3/4 white and only 1/2 black.

PETE IS NOT BLACK AT ALL! and you obviously cant add fractions very well.

People who are half black and half white come in all different shades.
I agree, I dont see any african-american traits in him or his mother, other than the fact he has darker skin tones.
This also doesnt mean that he is anything other than Caucasian either. Poles can be very dark (my cousins are half-polish and are almost that dark), and Jews can as well. My uncle is just as dark as Pete and that side of my family is 100% European.
His mother is Hawaiian.
His mother is Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and I'm just going to remove it from the page. Really, does it truely matter what ethenicy? We don't go and debate the other members and where their came from.
some people like just to know
some one put it up there again
Yes, plenty of people are curous as to why he has a naturally dark skin tone. Not adding his ethnicity, especially if it is as mixed as the above claim, is really robbing people of an interesting fact.

maybe he's indian i doubt he's indian, i am and i'm darker than that.

He kind of looks like aladdin from the disney movie. Myrockstar 03:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC) ha ha. i dunno

well he might be a little black because his hair was relaxed when it was braided —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.191.47.234 (talk • contribs).

OMG. He's not black guys, get over it. --DieHard2k5 | Talk 22:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I cannot confirm this, but I have had multiple sources say he is of Jamaican descent. That could be the reason his middle name is Kingston. He and his mother definitely do share physical characteristics that are commonly associated with people of African ancestry.Spuddy 17 01:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I swear to God; some people are SO PATHETIC SOUNDING, it's MIND-BLOWING. 1. Pete isn't Black. Coming from an African American girl, I just know these things. The boy has NO negroid ancestry in him WHATSOEVER PEOPLE. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS. 2. Pete of JAMAICAN descent? I highly doubt that. Yes, his middle name, Kingston, is a city in Jamaica, but I don't think that means he's Jamaican, DUH. 3. Here's some traditional characteristics of the average Negroid for you all, FROM the average Negroid: --Coarse, thick, unruly hair --Wide nose structure "fat nose" --Thick lips "big lips" --Small sized eyes --Skin which needs contant moisturization (lotion) to prevent ashiness

regarding the post above: that was the most ignorant thing I've read in a long time. As a black woman, black GIRL you should be ashamed of yourself. --km.


but he's the third

He is techinically just Peter Lewis Wentz the third. The name Kingston is unique to just him, not his father or grandfather.

Hey guys, if Kingston is supposed to be relevant, then maybe he's Canadian. There is a city named Kingston in Ontario. But he strikes me as looking partially asian. Like. 1/8th or something. Simply because hair and skin tones. He might even be part Cuban. Jezzerkenezzer

Pete's mom is a mix of many different nationalities and pete's dad is caucasian. thus he is half and half! he is not africaN AMERICAN NOR COMPLETELY WHITE!

  • this whole talk ridiculous, it's like saying brendon urie is half black because he has big lips. PrincessOfHearts 21:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

thank you princess of hearts!! it is all very intresting,but gosh! look,all that matters is he is a good bassist,don't annalize ppl.

buttcheeks!


Buttcheeks.....?


  • I'm pretty sure that either Pete's mother or father is of 1/2 Jamaican and 1/2 Irish descent. This is first-hand information, it was just a long time ago and I can't remember the details. xfifthcolumnx

[edit] Changing a reference

I have changed the mentions of Michelle Trachtenberg and left a reference but I haven't been able to work out how to change the text for the reference, can someone more wiki savvy change the 4th reference to John Kennedy, Shawn Ashmore's girlfriend caught out with rocker! See the shocking pics!, canada.com, July 17, 2006. With the bolded text linking to http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=5aed1a3b-9f3b-4ab1-8196-aff19691f651&k=15301 Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.152.162.1 (talk • contribs).

This is not newsworthy at all. Stop adding it to the page. --DieHard2k5 | Talk 15:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] high school

According to the August 2004 issue of Alternative Press magazine, Wentz graduated from North Shore, not New Trier. Spuddy 17 01:53, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

And your point please? -Kiki-

[edit] Questions

Is it true that his nickname is the Spanish Danish? I have heard that in several places, and am wondering if anyone can confirm it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.102.113.119 (talk • contribs).

Uh. Spanish and Danish don't even rhyme. So I highly doubt it. --DieHard2k5 | Talk 22:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

i read in an AP magazine a quotation by him speaking of his percieved need for security guards (a la 50 cent) to protect against the non-fans he often encounters on tour. i'm sure at least one of you had a subscription the past year, and i think it would be a good fact to highlight the opposition that comes with a 'emo' 'emo-pop' or whatever group suddenly exploding the mainstream. also a few pages away was another band (forgot who) speaking of this exact trend and something to the nature of "that ain't rock and roll"

[edit] Revert Photo

Why are we using a Nintendo promo photo? It looks rather tacky, imho. Would someone please revert? 130.127.121.188 05:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. yandman 10:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenname?

I was taking a look at this page at its base (aka, in the "Edit this Page" tab) and I see that there is a screenname section that doesn't appear in the actual article. Two things...

1. Is this real?
2. If it is, why is it here? The man needs privacy!

Thanks. DrowningInRoyalty 03:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] picture

where did the current picture come from? i mean i see the nintento fusion tour or whatever, but when was that?

so why hasnt there been a picture of him for a few days now? Evaunit666 01:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] source on where pete talked about ativan OD

It was actually Spin magazine in the December 2005 issue in which the article was called "Holiday in Suburbia." I unfortuntely cannot cite this source because I can't find any links to the entire article online without a subscription to Spin. It is better to just write a generic "a magazine' rather than having the incorrect magazine written. Spuddy 17 16:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Bold text== question ==

[edit] Links At The Bottom

At the bottom were the links to all the members of the band should be in says homosexual #1 , homosexual #2 ... ect. Who ever did this was being immature and hate full, its people like this who ruin Wikipedia for the rest of us. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Apicturesquemessage (talk • contribs) 14:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] What Happened To Trivia??

Who deleted the trivia section and why? It had some really good info! Seriously, especially since this article needs to be broken up into more sections. It's really mostly just Biography. Bring back the trivia!Calario freebie 01:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I will try and bring back the trivia. The only thing is, it all has to be referenced and it's hard to find little tidbits about him in articles that are pages and pages longs, so that is why they deleted it. I will try to bring some of it back though.Badluckprince 16:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

What is the relevence in this? Badluckprince 20:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relevancy Problems

While the information on the split EP and Andy joining the band is lovely, its more relevant to the actual Fall Out Boy article than it is to Pete Wentz. I would suggest moving it to the main FOB article or removing it altogether. Oroneko 03:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I added it due to FOB being a major player in Pete's life and so are the band members. Just thought it was relevent ot the change in his life. Badluckprince 20:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit needed (page (semi-)protected)

Can someone please reword this for obvious reasons

photos of Wentz were posted and spread quickly across the Internet. Other than Wentz's parts, his tattoo of the Decaydance logo on his waistline was shown, no it wasn't which turned the tattoo virtually famous overnight.

[edit] Need to add another of his former bands

I just added a Wikipedia entry for another of Pete's former bands, Birthright. Can this be added and linked along with his other former bands? Birthright was fairly well-known in the punk/ hardcore scene at the time, certainly more well known than his first band (Firstborn) which is currently listed. Birthright was listed in an interview in a major music publication - either Spin or Rolling Stone if I remember correctly.--Xfifthcolumnx 02:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
