I put the Playboy cover photo on this page since the article discusses it. I also intend on finding some relevant news articles from the time that the issue came out since I recall some controversy over the photo spread and I think more info would be good for the article. The photo wouldn't even be considered pornography in V.W.'s home country so I don't see what's "disgusting" about it that would make User:Shultz remove it. There was no previous discussion on this page saying that it shouldn't be used so if anyone has an issue with it, please respond here with your reasons. Dismas| (talk) 23:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
This seems like stretching a fair use case, since it does not identify the subject of the article (a non-Playboy image does that) or add any information, really. A fair use image should (according to policy) "specifically illustrate relevant points" and I'm not sure the mere fact that White's images appeared in Playboy is "illustrated" by a cover scan. Nearly every sentence of the article contains something which could be pictured the same way; but that wouldn't make sense and I'm not sure this does either. Demi T/ C 08:58, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Visit the list of stalked celebrities for the links for the multiple stalkers who have plagued Vanna, as well as hundreds of other entries. When she was conducting a pre-show warm-up for the Wheel of Fortune, one of her stalkers, who believed he was going to marry her, jumped up and shouted that Pietro was a dangerous mobster and that he'd "protect" her. Rescue fantasies like these are common among delusional stalkers. There was also a former Wheel contestant named Raymond Taylor who tresspassed repeatedly on the set and harassed multiple employees, as well as serial stalker Ralph Nau.
Maybe the fact that Pietro took no further action after the restraining order protecting him and Vanna was issued verifies that he isn't a dangerous mobster. If he were, wouldn't he teach the stalker firsthand what it's like to be stalked, or maybe have both of his legs broken, or give him concrete shoes or a slow, painful death by torture? :)-- Heff01 01:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
I distinctly remember reading years ago that the much-ridiculed change from turning the letters to simply touching them was made because Vanna was pregnant at the time and feared another miscarriage. A quick Google search didn't pull up those facts, but did confirm that her first child was born later in the same year the change was made. So for now, I've settled for adding what I can prove (i.e., she was pregnant + she had had a miscarriage) and will have to let readers infer the connection until I can provide a source.

But do we really need to say 49 two times?
I think Judge Alarcon must have been fed up with this woman. If she dies, this dissenting opinion must be engraved on her gravestone. -- Toytoy 01:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
...is this even true? I've found absolutely nothing about this on the Internet whatsoever. The Green Lantern 02:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Do you think Vanna could be placed under the category of playboy playmates or some category saying she was featured in Playboy magazine? MP123 02:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I deleted it. I eliminated a few items, i think something some comedian said, and also that she owns a jet company. if she does, that should be sourced. i don't get why there's a south park cartoon picture of her but not a real one.-- Nick 23:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

In a late 1980s' episode of TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes, White was part of a practical joke played on Pat Sajak during a taping of Wheel of Fortune. White's gown was setup so it would snag on the gameboard and rip off, leaving her in a slip in front of a surprised Sajak. Promos for the episode ran with the tagline "What happens when Vanna White loses her dress?", with their trademark "censored" stamp hiding a clip of White losing her clothes. NBC executives were concerned that airing the risqué practical joke, as well as White's appearance in Playboy magazine, would do damage to the show's family image. The episode was replaced with a rerun and was never aired. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.170.29 ( talk) 00:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Does no free image exist showing the person Vanna White? A picture of concrete is really not an acceptable substitute. Robert K S ( talk) 18:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I know that Youtube is not supposed to be used as a reference, but I feel that the video is an appropriate source to show that Vanna was on Price is Right. -- Coingeek ( talk) 13:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
The Vanna White info is not accurate about missing shows. It might have been on the old daytime show that is filled with subs The nighttime syndicated program records a Months worth of episodes in a few days and they can schedule everything without have to have a sub host. The only few times Vanna missed a show were when a person won the right to do a show and on April 1 when Lesly Sajak was letter turner — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:4:4280:1EB:606A:A973:1199:369C ( talk) 23:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Should there be an equally extensive section regarding Vanna White's political activities, view on global warming, contributions, etc? The authors felt it was significant enough to go into such detail regarding Pat Sajak. Don't women or non-conservatives deserve equal detail or scrutiny?
Same issue regading business ownership and entrepreneurial activities. The article for Pat Sajak covers quite a bit of detail regarding his non-television, non-movie business endeavors. In comparison, the Vanna White article is silent. If she is a business woman beyond her role on t.v., shouldn't the article cover this the way it is covered in the Sajak article?
