Whitney is the third contestant to get a Billboard in Time Square not the second. Jaslene is the second contestant and winner to get a billboard. Eugenia is the first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.145.12 ( talk) 19:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm no expert on the subject here, but I do see many people blanking and removing content, which appears to be vandalism. I have reverted all of these edits to a old revision of the article. — ThreeDee912 ( talk) 01:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I'd suggest locking this article for a while. There's been an awful lot of vandalism on the ANTM cycle 10 page and this contestant has been bashed quite a bit by vandals on the Cycle 10 page. - Jadedixon ( talk) 02:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Is it worth adding the controversy surrounding Whitney win to her wiki page?

Whitney didn't really deserve it to win.The only reason that Tyra chose her,is because that she is a "full-figured" model!Anya was the real winner.Wake up people!
The phrases are contentious because the language used in the show by the judges does not accurately reflect the language of the modeling industry in relation to plus-size models. The term 'full-figured' is obselete, and was in any event interchangable with 'plus-size', not a separate descriptor. As a size 8-10 (fluctuating) Thompson will be marketed as a plus-size model, in the same way that Crystal Renn is even though she often appears wearing clothes that are not created by plus-size clothing companies. See plus-size model for discussion on the size topic.
While Banks et al may have un/consciously chosen the phrase 'full-figured' to describe Thompson's body, her occupation is most correctly described as a 'plus-size model'; even though many believe that plus-size (in all repsects) *should* begin at U.S. size 14, it is not the case. Plus-size now most often describes the clothing, not the models wearing it and as such includes models above a U.S. size 8. The professional designation should drive the article's terminology. Any 'full figured' remarks attributed to Banks should be shown in quotations, with sources, to separate the issues. AntiVanity ( talk) 00:46, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Agreed that "plus-size" is the predominant industry phrase, but not sure if the terminology issue is significant enough to to be mentioned in the article itself, let alone as a "controversy"; seems a very minor point. KameraObscura ( talk) 01:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
In the article it said that she is the first plus-sized contestant to make it to the internation destination, which is false. Robin Manning from Cycle 1 of top model was the first. Whitney Thompson is the second. I suggest you fix it.
It says that Whitney is the second blond winner of ANTM, natural or not, but Eva and Naima both had their hair dyed blonde on the show. four out of ten does not seem very significant though so I do not believe it should even be included. B165789309 ( talk) 17:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC) ||They are talking about Blonde Blonde, Eva and Naima had a Sandy Bownish Blonde. Whitney and Caridee had an actual Barbie Blonde By the way, it's not plus sized, it's full figured. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.48.181.235 ( talk) 18:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
"While it seemed like Anya Kop was a clear winner until the finale episode..." This line seems to be based more on a bitter writer's opinon rather than fact. This should be removed or reworded to remove the bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.140.140 ( talk) 01:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Whitney Thompson appeared on the Live with Regis and Kelly show after her win. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.200.241 ( talk) 23:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
In the real world this isn't a notable accomplishment - only in terms of the show, which it has to be said doesn't have a lot to do with the reality of modeling. Besides, without a source is it original research. 08:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I attended High School with Whitney Thompson at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. This is how I am aware of this. Whitney has been informed of this error and she told me to fix it. Unfortunately since the page is protected, I am unable to, and thus have put in this request for an edit. Tubajedimaster ( talk) 05:09, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Can someone please add the link to her Twitter page?
