[edit] Religion

Am I correct in thinking that on Weekend Update Tina Fey recently executed the sign of the cross in the manner used in the Greek Orthodox Church, touching her right shoulder first (as opposed to the Roman Catholic manner in which the left shoulder comes first)? Asserting her Greekness? Also, is she in any way a religious person? (I know she got married in a Greek Orthodox church, but often people who are not particularly religious nonetheless get married in a church.) Michael Hardy 23:14, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

She is a scientologist.
I highly doubt she's a scientologist as she rips into Tom Cruise frequently.
That isn't mean she's not a scientologist; cruise isn't their diety 0.o Christians make fun of Jerry Falwell. --Froth 05:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
nothing on the web supports this claim. Joeyramoney 06:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
crap like this makes you wish you could delete discussions. Give any evidence at all before you look stupid 24.210.46.182 18:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mean Girls

What? No mention of her Screenplay MEAN GIRLS?!?

[edit] Feminism

The article makes no mention of feminism, yet is listed in Category:feminists. Any takers on a source? Avriette 03:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

For informations sake, that category was added in this revision. Qutezuce 04:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
just read it last month - in Salon she says "Either I'm a true feminist, or I have the worst show business instincts of anyone I know." Kingturtle 10:04, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scar

Where did the scar on her left cheek came from anyway?

She never tells.Poisonouslizzie 03:20, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
That Scar is hot!!!--205.188.116.11 08:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
This woman is HOT!!! Totally sexy. I'd worship her 'noonie'.
I had read somewhere that it was from an accident that happened to her as a child and she doesn't talk about it out of deference to her parents. 68.187.198.235 02:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Her contract.

  • Could someone please add information regarding how much longer she is under contract to be on SNL?--Josh 00:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I think Saturday 5/20/06 was her last SNL episode.. they had a tribute during Weekend Upate and at the end she wore a T-shirt that said Thank You. She has a sitcom premiering on NBC in the Fall .. can't do both! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.136 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Table

what's up with that big table at the bottom? WU is just one of her skits, that info doesn't need its own table. not to mention that info is mentioned 5 or 6 times throughout the article. Froth 05:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leaving SNL to work on 30 Rock

There are clues that Fey has left SNL from the May 20, 2006 show (as mentioned above), but a reliable source is needed. I just checked her NBC bio and Google News, and found nothing. I'll mark the statement as needing a source. 66.167.252.127 20:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC).

[edit] UPDATE

She is definitely leaving Saturday Night Live to begin her work on 30 Rock. She just stated that on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show.

[edit] Citation Crazy

It appears someone has gone citation crazy on this page. Many of the statements were well in need of a citation, but saying that stating she starred in Martin & Orloff needs a citation goes a little too far. Either she did or she didn't, and it should be commonly known which one is true. Citations are designed to provide support for questionable or obscure facts, not as requirement for every declarative statement made. --Astarf 08:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last real talent leaving

For a long time SNL has been losing its edge and with the loss of Tina Fey, the decline is sure to continue. Do they not know talent anymore? The only people who pop up there now seem to expect to become stars immediately. Just not happening for most unless someone feels bad for them. Perhaps SNL will end and MadTV will take over the talent reins. Tina you will be missed. --64.12.116.11 14:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Penny

Really? I think shes about as funny as brain cancer. SNL hasn't been funny for years. ʄ!•¿talk? 04:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, brain cancer is pretty fucking funny, if you ask me. -R. fiend (talk) 05:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] formatting

the formatting of this page is allllll goofed up. i tried editing it but gave up; i don't know where things are supposed to go, and some refs get cut in half, and etc. hopefully someone can fix this up --dan 20:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] La chica genio de Saturday Night Live

While updating 30 Rock, I came across this somewhat entertaining description of Fey and her new show:

Tina Fey, la chica genio de Saturday Night Live escribe, produce y protagoniza en un set de comedia detrás de las cámaras de un programa de variedades de televisión donde Alec Baldwin es el jefe más disfuncional que alguien pueda desear. (from Sony Entertainment TV's Synopis of 30 Rock).

"La chica genio de Saturday Night Live"...66.167.253.21 02:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters

She did the voice of the 9-layer bean burrito (Frylock's mother) in the movie. It's about 3 lines of dialog. Should that be included on the article page? 76.66.7.22 17:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tinafey-snl-hd-20051001.jpg

Image:Tinafey-snl-hd-20051001.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm going to look for a cc-by licensed image. best, Joe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joebeone (talk • contribs) 22:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I've found a CC-licensed image of Tina Fey that I'll add in a few days unless someone objects... it's not as good as the one we have now, but it has a known pedigree and the photographer has agreed to relicense under CC-attribution. -- Joebeone (Talk) 17:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Writer Strike

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071105/ap_on_bi_ge/hollywood_labor

Anyone know her situation/opinion of the strike? She's with the picketers, but she's still on 30 Rock? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.220.2.188 (talk) 19:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

She was contractually obligated to perform her duties as producer on 30 rock during the strike, but was picketing as a member of the WGA. — AMK1211talk! 14:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] cleaning up cites

Hi, I'm going to spend some time going through the cites for this article... I won't do anything substantive, just recast existing cites where needed into citation templates. Joebeone (Talk) 17:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Citations are now groomed into cite templates. Joebeone (Talk) 22:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filmography

Should we add a filmography to make her film + tv appearances more clear? (Wikirocks2 00:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC))

[edit] NPOV

I believe that the quote "...on AfterEllen.com, the top website for queer (LGBT) women." includes NPOV in judging AfterEllen.com as the "top" website for queer women. I will change it to read "...on AfterEllen.com, a website for queer (LGBT) women." If anybody would like to add a reference of this site as the most widely-visited queer women's site or something similar (if it is so), I have to objection to saying so. ~TheXRayStyle (talk) 12:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Tina Fey to Host First SNL back from Writer's Strike

If everyone thinks this is notable, TV Guide reports that SNL is returning Feb 23, with Tina Fey hosting. Here's the reference: SNL to Return Feb 23, With Tina Fey Hosting.

[edit] External link to ZotFish?

Hi, I was wondering if it would be appropriate for someone to add an external link to the ZotFish page for Tina Fey?. I believe it's of genuine interest to readers, but I want to make sure I follow Wikipedia policy and not post it myself -- more info on the site can be found at Mashable.

Zotman (talk) 03:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The site violates WP:ELNO, and should not be added to the article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
