Do we have a WP:CITEation for the playboy "most desired woman"? To have a Wikipedia:Reliable source that names her as a sex symbol like that will have satisfied WP:V for the category. - brenneman (t) (c) 22:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
This image was used on the "Entertainers who performed for troops during the Vietnam War" category page; that category has been deleted. If the image isn't used somewhere, it will be deleted. I just thought you'd like the opportunity to make use of it; however, in a quick scan of the article, there doesn't seem to be a mention that she performed in USO shows in Vietnam.— DomBot talk ; Chidom talk, owner/operator. 19:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I've updated the main article with more details of this wedding and Ms Welch's lateness - she was all over the cover of the UK's Daily Telegraph for doing this (I believe in 1991). I believe the admission that she was late on purpose came from either the Sunday Express Magazine or the Sunday Telegraph magazine around the time Welch was appearing in the stage play "The Millionairess" in the UK. I think this would have been the mid 90s but so far I haven't been able to track down the source. Appliance matt 11:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Was she born in Peru, or Chicago ?
The body of the article says she was born in Peru, but the infobox says Chicago... -- Penultimate Grrl ( talk) 03:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
there is a line in the article that states that she never posed nude for any movie or magazine, but I have seen black and white candid fully nude picture from perhaps the early 70's, so wouldn't this be considered "posing nude"?
A few sources have stated that Raquel Welch is of Irish ancestry on her mothers side without providing details, sources etc.
Checking rootsweb.com, I've found that much of her maternal lineage has been traced back to early New England families and,further back,to seventeenth century English settlers.The European heritage of some of her other maternal ancestors is not clear but no Irish surnames are evident. Her mothers people have been in the USA for many generations.
Without more solid evidence, I don't think that it is appropriate to list her as Irish-American. Burawick ( talk) 21:14, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
This is very true, there are many books and sources stating that she has Irish roots..this may be true, but ive only seen her stat that her mother was 'Anglo' and that her heritage goes back to John Adams....who had english roots....if she has irish roots she hasnt mentioned it at all. she has stated that her father is a bolivian of spanish descent but this has been reverted for some reason as not vadid enough, even though she stats this in a 2010 interview, see the sources that can be read. Interview. and Her Book digital read preview. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.173.92 ( talk) 00:55, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Deleters of cited content, read all of WP:BURDEN: "It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find supporting sources yourself and cite them." Lazy deletions such as this one are unwelcome. If a claim is true and harmless, but the sole source is unreliable, use {{ Dubious}} or {{ Citation needed}}. -- Lexein ( talk) 01:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Per an 11 June 2002 New York Times article, I propose that Raquel Welch's ethnicity include the term Latina.
"'Latinos are here to stay,' she told her audience at a National Press Club luncheon last month. 'As citizen Raquel, I'm proud to be Latina.'" [1]
I propose that the opening line be changed to: "Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada; September 5, 1940) is an American Latina actress." Let's discuss. MiztuhX ( talk) 18:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
It should be mentioned in the article that she is hispanic, perhaps under ethnicity in the infobox — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.189.66.149 ( talk) 00:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Infobox has "California, United States" and article text "Chicago, Illinois". Is there actual evidence for California? The text suggests she moved later to California. There are 3 cites after the Chicago part, though they are all after the next sentence, not the first one. 88.114.246.209 ( talk) 19:41, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
What did she sing ?? -- Les Meloures ( talk) 11:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
She was born Sept. 5, 1940. Today is Sept 5, 2019. How is it that the automatic age-updater is saying 78 and not 79? -- 65.78.8.103 ( talk) 18:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
In my opinion, relevant links should be added to the 'See also' section as it is currently empty. Xboxsponge15 ( talk) 09:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
I removed the trivia bit about Raquel appearing on Monty Python.
Whereas Raquel is mentioned several times on Monty Python’s Flying Circus … she never appeared on the show. The episode with Ringo Starr also featured Lulu, not Raquel. The original poster may have been confusing the film, “The Magic Christian”, which featured Ringo, a cameo by Raquel, and was co-written / cameoed by John Cleese & Graham Chapman of Monty Python. 75.107.41.198 ( talk) 00:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Recently I've noticed that a lot of people have been switching the image for Welch. Which should we use? I'm hoping we can settle this here first. I'm open to every idea InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 00:21, 17 February 2023 (UTC) I think an image from the awesome movie FATHOM 72.133.186.186 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
We need a gallery to compare the candidates. So far we've had the following:
The latter is a crop of a picture at Commons which seems quite striking so I'm trying it right now. Per the ITN discussion, WikiWikiWayne has a suggestion too and there may be more... Andrew🐉( talk) 10:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Need to add “Fantastic Voyage” to Raquel’s movie credits 72.9.83.138 ( talk) 03:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
