Talk:Jimmie T. Roberts

Spelling for Roberts

J. Gordon Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religon (Seventh Edition), page 1131 gives his name as "Jimmie T. Roberts". I am going to move this article to that name and redirect "Jimmy T. Roberts" to the new name. If Melton is wrong and there are other RS references which show "Jimmy" is correct, then it can be moved back. If anyone does this, please cite the WP:RS and leave a redirect from "Jimmie". • Astynax ^talk 01:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Garbage Eaters

I removed the following from this article. While some people may have referred to them by this name, there is no evidence that this is common usage. It is an obviously unflattering epithet. Sondra.kinsey (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is also known to some outsiders by the epithet, "the Garbage Eaters" for their habit of gathering edible food from grocery store dumpsters.
