I'm confused. The anniversaries page for November 22 says over 100 people died in an attack aimed at Miss World contestants, but the Miss World page says, in a general tone, that over 200 people died. Were there separate incidents that added up? I need some answers. (Note: I only found this page because it's on my birthday) Maui Psyko
Several entries in the article for Miss World are deficiently stated needing citations. If you can't produce a reference - with numerous existing web pages searchable on the Internet, then it has no business being in what is ostensibly an encyclopedia. Cite it or drop it. Period.
Ped Admi
Mr. Angelo De La Paz, you cannot undo the following statements in the article about Miss World: "Its rivals, the Miss Universe and Miss Earth pageants maintain equal popularity in some parts of the world, notably the Americas and Asia, and also by virtue of the fact that most countries in the world send the winners of their major national competitions to Miss Universe and Miss Earth pageants."
The word "rival" means a competitor, one who attempts to equal or surpass the other; it does not denote the state of being superior.
With your statement: "Only Filipino fanatics recognize Miss earth is equal with Miss World and Universe but mostly beauty experts are still not!", Your statement is based on your opinion, however, the statements that you're trying to undo has cited plenty of different references, as cited below.
Take note that Miss Earth's worldwide television broadcast in Star World gained the highest rating ever on any beauty event getting a phenomenal popularity rate. Elsewhere in the world, the pageant’s popularity has continuously increased. With more women wanting to become Miss Earth, the number of national Miss Earth pageant has grown on every continent as well. At present, Miss Earth holds the record of having the greatest number of national-level contests, and continuously growing.

Miss Earth must do many things to gain more experiences, popularity, cash prizes, etc...because quality of Miss Earth pageant is still same level with Miss International and Miss Tourism Queen Int'l only.
From Global Beauties:
"...g) A weight is given to each of the 'big 5' women's pageant and 'big 3' men's pageants before points are added to determine the Grand Slam Ranking. Based on tradition, years of existence, television telecast and audience, production quality, press interest and number of participant countries, it was agreed that Miss World results would be multiplied by 2.0, Miss Universe results would be multiplied by 2.0, Miss International results would be multiplied by 1.0, Miss Tourism Queen International would be multiplied by 1.0 and Miss Earth results would be multiplied by 1.0;..."
And you could believe me that is Miss Earth winners will be the least as "Miss of Misses" of the year because many beauty experts have been feeling angry with Jessica Trisko and disappointed with Miss earth org.
Have fun!

It seems that someone has confused the winner of Mrs. World 2005 as Miss World 2005. Miss World will not be crowned until 10th December 2005 in Sanya. Sima Bakhar of Israel was crowned as Mrs. World in January in India. ---- Wexine
OK I had the information from another Wikipedia and my websearch for Sima Bakhar seemed to confirm the information. In this case, please unfreeze and undo. Sorry for the confusion. gidonb 09:42, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
it appears that this article has been bombarded with so much information about the 2005 edition. this is not a bad thing since it might have just been due to the hype by pageant enthusiasts before the event took place. a suggestion is to place this in a separate article (i.e. titled "2005 Miss World") and just hyperlink it here through the text "2005", similar to the olympic games articles in wikipedia. in that way, it can also be a "tradition" in pageant articles here to write about the yearly editions, but not to the point of choking the main article with a specific edition's data and information.
I moved the 55th Miss World Pageant information to a new article, click on the "2005" link in the winners' table.
Article Miss World 1993 should be merged into this article. 68.123.102.87 14:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
can we unmerged the 1993 page so we start an article about Miss World 1993?Wexine
What happened to Bob Hope? The article states that he was "temporarily scared by a flour bomb"... Should this be scarred? Or was he really just temporarily scared?
Hi, my name is Lex, I just started a Miss World year-by-year data. Please feel free to contribute and lets make a comprehensive data about the most prestigious and longest running global pageant.

I'm quite new to this, can anyone remove the redirect for Miss World 2003 so a new article can be created. Thanks Wexine
Does anyone have any information regarding the composition of the Miss World crown? I think it will be best if we devote a section about the crown.
The reference for this statement is a redirect to the official miss world web site. I'm skeptical. Unless a more reliable source is available, I think that statement should be cut. I find it pretty difficult to believe that 30% of the planet's population tunes in to watch the miss world contest. Northern Bear 16:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Though I can appreciate the motives of User:114.78.39.32 / User talk:114.78.39.32 for removing the trivia section, actually this is one of the best trivia sections I have ever seen. It is well organized, with details and references and relevant to this article (instead of say the James Bond movies' articles). See the diff for the information in question. Yes, it could probably be better integrated into the text of the article instead of being bullet points, but having it all handy is better than removing it completely. Comments are welcomed. — MrDolomite • Talk 22:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
How is it decided who will win the Miss World-prize? How is beauty measured, i.e is there an ideal woman, and can a beatiful, but bald woman win, how many negative (or positive) points are given to a contestant with a space between the front teath? I'm told that onlye contestant who comply (and sign) to a ethical and moral code including not posing for nude photography can participate. Is this true, are there more rules, what about contestant convicted of criminal activity, maybe a speeding ticket?

I removed the statement in the intro that the pageant is viewed in more than 200 countries for the following reasons:
It has been dropped from TV in most western countries, as it is seen as degrading exhibition, and an insult to 50% of their population.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles.

I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Shouldn't one mention the patriotic bias exhibited by the Miss World and Miss Universe contests?
7 winners have been crowned Miss World on their home turf. In particular, all of the 5 British winners won the title in the UK (where the contest was founded):
7 winners have been crowned Miss Universe on their home turf. In particular, 6 of the 8 American winners won the title in the US (where the contest was founded):
Remarkably, all of the 6 Miss World winners and 7 Miss Universe winners from Venezuela won their titles abroad. That is, despite its small population, Venezuela is head and shoulders above everybody else in terms of wins outside their own country. What does this tell us?

Merger complete. Information from
List of Miss World hosts and invited artists has been merged into this article, per the merge result at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Miss World hosts and invited artists.
North America

Consensus at the AfD discussion was for a merge. Perhaps the nominator should have considered the potential of a merge outcome before nominating the article for deletion in the first place. The nominator could have participated more at the AfD discussion, but instead, chose to only state four words in the entire two-week discussion. So, the nominator did not realize their desired outcome, and then twice redirects the List of Miss World hosts and invited artists article to this one without performing any merge ( diff, diff), against the consensus and editorial decisions of other users at the AfD discussion. This type of unilateral decision making is inappropriate in this case, because consensus was for a merge, not a redirect.
Then, the nominator performed more unilateral actions against the consensus and spirit of the AfD discussion, twice adding the importance section template to this article ( diff, diff). If other users agreed with this viewpoint, they likely would have !voted to delete the article, but this did not occur.
Lastly, I'm then accused by the nominator here and in their edit summary here with nonsensical, highly inappropriate aspersions of having some sort of COI, which is absurd, nonexistent, and will be ignored.
Regarding the content itself, I think the list format is functional to organize it, and the content benefits Wikipedia's readers with the provision of factual information about the history of the Miss World pageant. I also agree with the points made by Atlantic306 above regarding the content.
This content would work as a separate spinoff and spinout article, and I would be fine with splitting it back out into a separate article titled List of Miss World hosts and artists, so perhaps this notion can be discussed herein. North America 1000 22:55, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
How about a serious trim of the list and converting it into a paragraph of prose. For example:
There have been many different hosts of Miss World over the years. The creator of the event
Eric Morley hosted it himself from 1951 to 1958.
Bob hope,
Michael Aspel,
Simon Dee.
Keith Fordyce and
David Vine all hosted the event at sometime between 1952 to 1974. Notable hosts after 1974 include
Germaine Greer,
Pierce Brosnan,
Jerry Springer.... [add as appropriate]. Taiwanese-Canadian actress
Angela Chow hosted the pageant from 2003 to 2015. From 1980 invited guest artists would also perform at the event, including .......[add as appropriate].
Almost all the host images need to go. This article is already overloaded with winners images and the images of the hosts are nowhere near significant enough to include verbatim. You need to be careful of the non-free ones too (not sure why they are here at all) as they need rational as to why we use them and there is virtually no good rational to use non-free images of living people (unless the policies and guidelines have changed since I last dealt with images). As fr the preliminary finals, those lists should at least be collapsed. AIRcorn (talk) 00:51, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Mr. Angelo De La Paz, you cannot undo the following statements in the article about Miss World: "Its rivals, the Miss Universe and Miss Earth pageants maintain equal popularity in some parts of the world, notably the Americas and Asia, and also by virtue of the fact that most countries in the world send the winners of their major national competitions to Miss Universe and Miss Earth pageants."
The word "rival" means a competitor, one who attempts to equal or surpass the other; it does not denote the state of being superior.
With your statement: "Only Filipino fanatics recognize Miss earth is equal with Miss World and Universe but mostly beauty experts are still not!", Your statement is based on your opinion, however, the statements that you're trying to undo has cited plenty of different references, as cited below.
Take note that Miss Earth's worldwide television broadcast in Star World gained the highest rating ever on any beauty event getting a phenomenal popularity rate. Elsewhere in the world, the pageant’s popularity has continuously increased. With more women wanting to become Miss Earth, the number of national Miss Earth pageant has grown on every continent as well. At present, Miss Earth holds the record of having the greatest number of national-level contests, and continuously growing.

From Global Beauties:
"...g) A weight is given to each of the 'big 5' women's pageant and 'big 3' men's pageants before points are added to determine the Grand Slam Ranking. Based on tradition, years of existence, television telecast and audience, production quality, press interest and number of participant countries, it was agreed that Miss World results would be multiplied by 2.0, Miss Universe results would be multiplied by 2.0, Miss International results would be multiplied by 1.0, Miss Tourism Queen International would be multiplied by 1.0 and Miss Earth results would be multiplied by 1.0;..."
And you could believe me that is Miss Earth winners will be the least as "Miss of Misses" of the year because many beauty experts have been feeling angry with Jessica Trisko and disappointed with Miss earth org.

it appears that this article has been bombarded with so much information about the 2005 edition. this is not a bad thing since it might have just been due to the hype by pageant enthusiasts before the event took place. a suggestion is to place this in a separate article (i.e. titled "2005 Miss World") and just hyperlink it here through the text "2005", similar to the olympic games articles in wikipedia. in that way, it can also be a "tradition" in pageant articles here to write about the yearly editions, but not to the point of choking the main article with a specific edition's data and information.
I moved the 55th Miss World Pageant information to a new article, click on the "2005" link in the winners' table.
Article Miss World 1993 should be merged into this article. 68.123.102.87 14:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
can we unmerged the 1993 page so we start an article about Miss World 1993?Wexine
What happened to Bob Hope? The article states that he was "temporarily scared by a flour bomb"... Should this be scarred? Or was he really just temporarily scared?
Hi, my name is Lex, I just started a Miss World year-by-year data. Please feel free to contribute and lets make a comprehensive data about the most prestigious and longest running global pageant.
Thanks
I'm quite new to this, can anyone remove the redirect for Miss World 2003 so a new article can be created. Thanks Wexine
Does anyone have any information regarding the composition of the Miss World crown? I think it will be best if we devote a section about the crown.
The reference for this statement is a redirect to the official miss world web site. I'm skeptical. Unless a more reliable source is available, I think that statement should be cut. I find it pretty difficult to believe that 30% of the planet's population tunes in to watch the miss world contest. Northern Bear 16:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Though I can appreciate the motives of User:114.78.39.32 / User talk:114.78.39.32 for removing the trivia section, actually this is one of the best trivia sections I have ever seen. It is well organized, with details and references and relevant to this article (instead of say the James Bond movies' articles). See the diff for the information in question. Yes, it could probably be better integrated into the text of the article instead of being bullet points, but having it all handy is better than removing it completely. Comments are welcomed. — MrDolomite • Talk 22:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
How is it decided who will win the Miss World-prize? How is beauty measured, i.e is there an ideal woman, and can a beatiful, but bald woman win, how many negative (or positive) points are given to a contestant with a space between the front teath? I'm told that onlye contestant who comply (and sign) to a ethical and moral code including not posing for nude photography can participate. Is this true, are there more rules, what about contestant convicted of criminal activity, maybe a speeding ticket?

I removed the statement in the intro that the pageant is viewed in more than 200 countries for the following reasons:
It has been dropped from TV in most western countries, as it is seen as degrading exhibition, and an insult to 50% of their population.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Miss World's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Shouldn't one mention the patriotic bias exhibited by the Miss World and Miss Universe contests?
7 winners have been crowned Miss World on their home turf. In particular, all of the 5 British winners won the title in the UK (where the contest was founded):
7 winners have been crowned Miss Universe on their home turf. In particular, 6 of the 8 American winners won the title in the US (where the contest was founded):
Remarkably, all of the 6 Miss World winners and 7 Miss Universe winners from Venezuela won their titles abroad. That is, despite its small population, Venezuela is head and shoulders above everybody else in terms of wins outside their own country. What does this tell us?

Merger complete. Information from
List of Miss World hosts and invited artists has been merged into this article, per the merge result at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Miss World hosts and invited artists.

Consensus at the AfD discussion was for a merge. Perhaps the nominator should have considered the potential of a merge outcome before nominating the article for deletion in the first place. The nominator could have participated more at the AfD discussion, but instead, chose to only state four words in the entire two-week discussion. So, the nominator did not realize their desired outcome, and then twice redirects the List of Miss World hosts and invited artists article to this one without performing any merge ( diff, diff), against the consensus and editorial decisions of other users at the AfD discussion. This type of unilateral decision making is inappropriate in this case, because consensus was for a merge, not a redirect.
Then, the nominator performed more unilateral actions against the consensus and spirit of the AfD discussion, twice adding the importance section template to this article ( diff, diff). If other users agreed with this viewpoint, they likely would have !voted to delete the article, but this did not occur.
Lastly, I'm then accused by the nominator here and in their edit summary here with nonsensical, highly inappropriate aspersions of having some sort of COI, which is absurd, nonexistent, and will be ignored.
Regarding the content itself, I think the list format is functional to organize it, and the content benefits Wikipedia's readers with the provision of factual information about the history of the Miss World pageant. I also agree with the points made by Atlantic306 above regarding the content.
This content would work as a separate spinoff and spinout article, and I would be fine with splitting it back out into a separate article titled List of Miss World hosts and artists, so perhaps this notion can be discussed herein. North America 1000 22:55, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
How about a serious trim of the list and converting it into a paragraph of prose. For example:
There have been many different hosts of Miss World over the years. The creator of the event
Eric Morley hosted it himself from 1951 to 1958.
Bob hope,
Michael Aspel,
Simon Dee.
Keith Fordyce and
David Vine all hosted the event at sometime between 1952 to 1974. Notable hosts after 1974 include
Germaine Greer,
Pierce Brosnan,
Jerry Springer.... [add as appropriate]. Taiwanese-Canadian actress
Angela Chow hosted the pageant from 2003 to 2015. From 1980 invited guest artists would also perform at the event, including .......[add as appropriate].
Almost all the host images need to go. This article is already overloaded with winners images and the images of the hosts are nowhere near significant enough to include verbatim. You need to be careful of the non-free ones too (not sure why they are here at all) as they need rational as to why we use them and there is virtually no good rational to use non-free images of living people (unless the policies and guidelines have changed since I last dealt with images). As fr the preliminary finals, those lists should at least be collapsed. AIRcorn (talk) 00:51, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Someone who apparently knows no Latin attempted to make up a Latin name for Miss World and produced Deesset Mundi.
