Does anyone know if RuPaul had breast implants? Or is that all smoke and mirrors done with pecs, some pushing around, and a little drawn in contours with make-up? Any time I've seen RuPaul as a man, it didn't seem like there was anything there... but maybe he tapes it down if he's going out as a man? I don't know... ( Corby 00:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC))
He's a fully functioning, "normal" male. (physically) The "breasts" you see (when they're exposed) are most likely form-fitting "molds" in the shape of... breasts. When his "breasts" are under fabric, it's most likely a much simpler case of boob simulation. Color and creases can be matched with makeup competely, too! It's amazing what some people can do.
How tall is RuPaul? I've thought about becoming a drag performer as I'd enjoy dressing up in glamourous clothes, but I'm tall even for a man. I think I heard on a chat show interview he did once that he's really tall, which makes me feel a lot better!
However with a wig (up to 1 ft.), heels (~6in.) and other draq acessories it can make someone appear taller than they really are. BrenDJ 03:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I remember the exchange between Berle and RuPaul a bit differently; although it was clearly tense and they did go off-script. Berle said something like "Listen, I was wearing dresses when you were in a diaper." RuPaul instantly replied, "Wow, now I'm wearing dresses and YOU wear a diaper!" Berle was clearly furious and didn't find it at all funny. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.199.253 ( talk) 01:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Someone told me RuPaul has been dating some tall, blond Australian man for decades?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 ( talk) 06:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
This article as it now stands has all kinds of non-neutral language. A comedy club in Atlanta is "infamous". Says who? RuPaul was "famously" the only drag queen allowed to dine somewhere. Famously? I don't think so. He might have been allowed to dine there, but that fact is not famous. Berle "inappropriately" touched RuPaul's breast. Again, not NPOV. Interlingua 14:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, this is serious... WHAT THE HELL!? "Supermodel" hit #1 in the UK, according to some contributor. I searched google and couldn't find any proof - I'm absolutely shocked if it really did. WE'll leave it for now, because it looks rather pretty. : P UPDATE: And according to the list of UK number ones on wikipedia, it never did.

Does the term transgendered exclusively mean transexual? I thought transgendered was an umbrella term, which includes drag queens.

I've noticed that the photo in this page infobox is from the era of Ru's second Starrbooty movie. I'm not sure what the exact image policies are for infoboxes, but it seems that we should try to find a picture of RuPaul in his more well-known "Glamazon" drag. That's the style he utilized for "Supermodel (of the World)" and RuPaul's Drag Race, which are what he is best known for. The Starrbooty-style drag just doesn't seem to provide the best representation of RuPaul's public image; the second Starrbooty movie marked a low point of his career.

Just in case there's vandalism and move for this article.
The free and easy mixing of using both "he" and "she" to refer to RuPaul, even within the same sentence, is most disconcerting. Example:
"In 1996, she landed a talk show on VH1, appropriately called The RuPaul Show, where he interviewed celebrity guests and musical acts."
I think we should choose one and use it consistently. At least within the same sentence. The previous advice about using "she" when referring to performances in drag and "he" when referring to personal life is too obscure, we can't expect people to know the difference when reading the article. My vote is to use "he" consistently since RuPaul is not continuously in drag.
Elronxenu 10:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I can see no good reason to split the article, or to be concerned about pronouns. RuPaul is male, and identifies as male. RuPaul is his real name. There's no evidence that he's transgendered, or identifies as female, even when in drag. Indeed, as we quote in the article, "RuPaul is noted . . . for his indifference towards the gender-specific pronouns used to address him - both 'he' and 'she' have been deemed acceptable. 'You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don't care!'" We can safely refer to him as "he." Exploding Boy ( talk) 00:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
It's a bad idea to interchange gender. If for example, we did an article about someone transgender, we might use he before and she after their change in identity ( historically speaking, when referring to events.) But in RuPaul's case he has made it clear he doesn't care in the past it seems. So he seems appropriate. 165.225.34.64 ( talk) 20:11, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

May someone more adept in sourcing copyright free images please update the infobox profile photo of the Wiki subject. The current photo is from 2007, and is blurry/not as representative of the subject as it could be. The new photo would ideally show the full face, in focus, and be representative of the subject at or around their current age (as the Wiki subject is still living). Thanks.

he plays Ilana's boss at the sushi restaurant. He is not in drag.
I think that there should be an article for RuPaul's awards instead of having it as a section since he did win several awards and that should automatically give him an article to display all of his awards instead of some messy section that shows them all plus not all of his awards are up there. Panther Coulee ( talk) 20:04, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I know in the article it says he or she is acceptable to him/her, but I see in the opening it states both he and she in different spots. Shouldn't it be uniform in the article (Or just he really since it is a he?) I don't know what the style guide states for drag queens, crossdressers, transgenders, etc. So I'll leave it to the regular editors to advise/change. Dancindazed ( talk) 23:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

@ Amchow78: I was forced to remove the categories you added. According to WP:EGRS and the underlying WP:CATV, all categories in an article and WP:BLP must be backed up by prose in the article and a reliable secondary source to support them.

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:18, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Somebody added some chart info, but it was absolutely UNINTELLIGIBLE. Umm, were you even SOBER? I'll clean it up. : P — Preceding unsigned comment added by TykoEaston ( talk • contribs) 05:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
It's been a while since I've played cleanup on a moronic misspelling tagger, but the following is out of my league. In the section "Supermodel (You Better Work)", the last unattributed paragraph is extremely problematic. "On Novemeber 7, 2006 he was found performing felacio on multiple men in a back alley of a southern Indonesian club outside of Merced, California. He was found perfoming on 12 black males and a Palestinian. Later on that night, Rupaul and Martha Stewart were found scissoring in a behind a Little Ceasars in Merced, California. He denies these accusations, but during the commentation his breath smelled of vaginal secretion. "Everyone knows damn well he's disgusting", stated Richard Simmons at a public gay resort in San Fransisco, California".
I can't delete it in the edit section because it doesn't show up. I hate to ask others to do what I should be able to, but could someone PLEASE pull this nonsense out? If RuPaul is guilty of this, then please have the common courtesy to properly attribute the source. I can't remove it because it doesn't appear on my screen when I enter the edit page. Someone knows more about the program than I do. Too bad they can't direct their energies to something more useful to society. Autoeroticasphyxiation strikes me as a hobby that might be appropriate for this vandal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.159.103 ( talk • contribs) 06:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
RuPaul appeared, out of Drag, on 2 episodes in their first season in 2018. Ru then appeared in 1 episode, in drag, in their second season in 2019. This hasn’t been updated on their filmography table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.83.254.81 ( talk • contribs) 11:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Is the footnote regarding RuPaul's pronouns needed? The citation is a joke that RuPaul frequently used throughout his career, particularly throughout the 1990's in which his drag persona caused confusion amongst mainstream media figures on how he should be addressed. It should not serve as an indicator of his gender identity or "preferred pronoun" as the footnote, and its presence in this article, implies. TryingToKeepItRight ( talk) 19:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Cory Booker and RuPaul are “DNA cousins” according to a PBS show focused on celebrity ancestry. I believe it is inaccurate to portray them as cousins, since the common reader would not be informed enough to know that they are likely distant cousins, something to the magnitude of 6 or 7 once removed. It should be updated to indicate that they are distant cousins or the claim should be otherwise sourced. 2600:8806:4E0D:F100:A869:DDD1:DE8E:F0B9 ( talk) 19:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

May someone more adept in sourcing copyright free images please update the infobox profile photo of the Wiki subject. The current photo is from 2007, and is blurry/not as representative of the subject as it could be. The new photo would ideally show the full face, in focus, and be representative of the subject at or around their current age (as the Wiki subject is still living). Thanks.

he plays Ilana's boss at the sushi restaurant. He is not in drag.
I think that there should be an article for RuPaul's awards instead of having it as a section since he did win several awards and that should automatically give him an article to display all of his awards instead of some messy section that shows them all plus not all of his awards are up there. Panther Coulee ( talk) 20:04, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
I know in the article it says he or she is acceptable to him/her, but I see in the opening it states both he and she in different spots. Shouldn't it be uniform in the article (Or just he really since it is a he?) I don't know what the style guide states for drag queens, crossdressers, transgenders, etc. So I'll leave it to the regular editors to advise/change. Dancindazed ( talk) 23:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Any more info on the choice of name?
Article cites “Ru”, but not why; and nothing on the “Paul”. When adopted?

@ Amchow78: I was forced to remove the categories you added. According to WP:EGRS and the underlying WP:CATV, all categories in an article and WP:BLP must be backed up by prose in the article and a reliable secondary source to support them. The article doesn't say anything about RuPaul's race or ethnicity (although it wouldn't hurt to mention it, as long as sources are found.) Elizium23 ( talk) 03:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

@Gleeanon409 Thank you for adding it to the main page! I think it would look better if you would just put Top Chef in the title section and then in the notes section Episode: Food of Love" What do you think? Crazycatcream ( talk) 14:11, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:18, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Somebody added some chart info, but it was absolutely UNINTELLIGIBLE. Umm, were you even SOBER? I'll clean it up. : P — Preceding unsigned comment added by TykoEaston ( talk • contribs) 05:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
It's been a while since I've played cleanup on a moronic misspelling tagger, but the following is out of my league. In the section "Supermodel (You Better Work)", the last unattributed paragraph is extremely problematic. "On Novemeber 7, 2006 he was found performing felacio on multiple men in a back alley of a southern Indonesian club outside of Merced, California. He was found perfoming on 12 black males and a Palestinian. Later on that night, Rupaul and Martha Stewart were found scissoring in a behind a Little Ceasars in Merced, California. He denies these accusations, but during the commentation his breath smelled of vaginal secretion. "Everyone knows damn well he's disgusting", stated Richard Simmons at a public gay resort in San Fransisco, California".
I can't delete it in the edit section because it doesn't show up. I hate to ask others to do what I should be able to, but could someone PLEASE pull this nonsense out? If RuPaul is guilty of this, then please have the common courtesy to properly attribute the source. I can't remove it because it doesn't appear on my screen when I enter the edit page. Someone knows more about the program than I do. Too bad they can't direct their energies to something more useful to society. Autoeroticasphyxiation strikes me as a hobby that might be appropriate for this vandal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.159.103 ( talk • contribs) 06:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
RuPaul appeared, out of Drag, on 2 episodes in their first season in 2018. Ru then appeared in 1 episode, in drag, in their second season in 2019. This hasn’t been updated on their filmography table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.83.254.81 ( talk • contribs) 11:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Is the footnote regarding RuPaul's pronouns needed? The citation is a joke that RuPaul frequently used throughout his career, particularly throughout the 1990's in which his drag persona caused confusion amongst mainstream media figures on how he should be addressed. It should not serve as an indicator of his gender identity or "preferred pronoun" as the footnote, and its presence in this article, implies. TryingToKeepItRight ( talk) 19:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Cory Booker and RuPaul are “DNA cousins” according to a PBS show focused on celebrity ancestry. I believe it is inaccurate to portray them as cousins, since the common reader would not be informed enough to know that they are likely distant cousins, something to the magnitude of 6 or 7 once removed. It should be updated to indicate that they are distant cousins or the claim should be otherwise sourced. 2600:8806:4E0D:F100:A869:DDD1:DE8E:F0B9 ( talk) 19:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
