Hi Pageant Updater. I have traced that you were the one who suggested the merging of Carousel Productions Inc. article to Miss Earth. I have indicated my thoughts in the article’s discussion page [1]. I made several revisions of the article, please do check if there’s anything you can add to improve the article’s editorial, since I’m a greenhorn with Wikipedia editing. Although I’m not the original creator of the article, I recommend to retain the article for the reasons I have stated in the article’s discussion page. I have looked at your editing and you should be nominated as an administrator. Thank you.-- Johnsoul ( talk) 16:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for granting my request by uploading Miss Earth-related pictures. I'm planning to contact Carousel Productions to obtain permission to use the Miss Earth logo, including their annual logos and other related pictures in their website and I will need definitely your expertise with this matter once I get the approval or do you want me to give you the contact info of the person to get in touch with?-- Richie Campbell ( talk) 03:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi girl, as I can see that he has removed Template:Miss_Universe out of the main articles of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. There is no big problem now. I am with you because I think so that is very superfluous ( Template:Miss_Universe in Miss USA or Miss Teen USA).

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it, I guess what you did is the responsible thing to do. I have had problems with User: Angelo de la Paz, because he had accused me twice of vandalism after providing citations and sources to the edits that I've made, and his messages seems to be rude; I was checking his user talk and I guess most of the entries are about discomfort against his actions or edits, he apparently don't learn.

I applaud your effort to get more free images, but can you please make sure that before you take a high resolution, 2.35 MB, nicely colored photograph at the Tribeca Film Festival and replace it with a low-resolution, off-color, 99KB headshot, please think twice. The goal on here is to get the best quality photo on the article. Hence, my Kevin Bacon is not in the lead. My Sean Combs is not in the lead. If you like an image you have obtained, perhaps it works better somewhere else in the article if the lead is good quality (and most certainly if it is better than the one you have on offer). If you come across a better Susie Castillo, feel free to replace mine, or move mine down. But the best photo we have should be in the lead. Otherwise, keep up the good work. Thanks.

This is ludicrous and clearly the blocking admin has not checked the diffs. The first diff is not a revert but a constructive edit. Only the three "reverts" after that can be classed as such. I have reverted three times, David Shankbone has reverted three times. Why should I be blocked?
Decline reason:
Clear edit warring. WP:3RR does not guarantee you three reverts in a day. As to whether or not David Shankbone should be blocked, that has no bearing on this block. — Yamla ( talk) 15:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hum... Hi!
Well, English is not my native lenguage, but I trying to understand you, and that you understand me.
My name is Alex, from Mexico. I want to ask you, what is your criteria for deleted something, or not, in the Miss Universe 2008 Article?
Sometimes you look very radical about what yes and what no. Other times, you'll be very selective... why, if not have a source, Misses Georgia, Israel, for example, are on the list, and others no? I don't understand why certains sites could't be a reference? why the activities of the pageant are not worthies to be in this article (alleging Wikipedia is not a fansite)? I can't understand... sorry...
I can remember, the last year, you insisted put on the article the marriage of Mario Lopez with Ali Landry. We discussed about that, and finally, this trivial data was deleted. But it is still a contradiction about your attitude.
My intention is not fight with you, only understand what happened. Maybe i'm not cleary about wikipedia rules, or maybe i'm traslating the rules to my convenience and the things i'm think are fine... or maybe you do it. I don't know.
Saludos de Mexico...

A tag has been placed on Melissa Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Edison ( talk) 04:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems that you clamed ownership of the Miss Universe 2008 article. You frequently had eliminated information that is true, I'm making a list of your edits and if every information you had deleted turned out to be true information, I am going to set things straight. You probably don't know how to find or use a proper translator to check this article of the OFFICIAL MISS RUSSIA website ( http://miss-russia.ru/news/item/63) where it clearly says that VERA KRASOVA will attend Miss Universe 2008 instead of the winner. Use Yahoo Babelfish to check the information, so you can realize that you had removed true information for a reliable source multiple times. A person that calls himself an expert and can't find information sources, definitely lies to himself. Don't bother to create a talkpage with this IP, lots of people use it.

Yet again I get unfairly blocked in a 3RR dispute. Not only have I not been warned (academic, perhaps considering I am fully aware of the policy), I have not violated 3RR (and I am not the only person reverting Kaiwhakahaere
[7]). Furthermore, my edits have been 100% in line with policy, whilst Kaiwhakahaere has been completely ignoring my efforts to make him aware of that policy. As well, I have been actively attempting to get neutral opinions on this subject, with one other editor suggesting my application of policy was correct:
[8],
[9], [
[10]. This is unjustified and unfair. To say nothing of the fact that the last time I was blocked for 3RR others admitted that the result at that time was unfair. I've had problems with my temper in the past (this time last year, from memory) but these days I have been doing all I possibly can to actively seek neutral opinions and deal with things fairly, and what happens? I get blocked. This is ridiculous.

I did not appreciate the tone you used in your edit summary on the Candice Sanders page. When I came upon the page, I saw that her birth date was not in the appropriate spot in the opening sentence. Instead, it was buried down in the references section. I moved it and in the process, saw that it was in the info box, but not showing up. I tried fixing it, but it didn't work, so I just removed it from there. At least it alerted you to it so that you could fix it. So saying things like "wtf" and using that tone is completely inappropriate and violates the spirit of Wikipedia in keeping things civil. - Maximusveritas ( talk) 05:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello there! I have been adding content to the Miss Universe 2008 page. Even though the Resutls TBD sections I've been adding may seem to be at first too much, however I was attempting to save myself time to add the information into the formats during the pageant, which is tomorrow anyway. Because there has been unfounded protest against it, I am not going to protest it any longer. I will just spend the three hours during the pageant it took me to type all of Wiki markups.
However, what makes me angry is that not only the TBDs are removed, but the cited sources of information which I spent quite some time researching on the Miss Universe official Web site were also removed (the judges information, the hosts and performers, etc.). So I since put the information back in again, and I appreciate that they have yet to be removed again.
However, I am not hear to complain, because I do appreciate your comments in the user history. So when the information that can be cited was removed, I responded with proof in kind when I replaced them back (i.e. Telemundo was being removed when in actuality it can be verified that they are also broadcasting and distributing the pageant). I work in the US broadcast industry, so I definitely know the ins and outs of shows being broadcast and aired.
However, I think we have a common foe on the Miss Universe 2008 page. As I read further up on your User talk page, User:Kanabekobaton has been a thorn on yours and many others' sides. He has deleted all of my information several times out of nuisance and has gone on my User talk page and has vandalized it. I have sent three warnings to him, and in kind he does his crap again and sent me one in spite.
I've also just noticed that he removed content that I placed on the Miss USA special awards four months ago that was ALL accurate information I found on several sources. So he definitely doing stuff maliciously.
So, instead of me being your enemy, I'd rather be your ally in making sure he doesn't keep trying to get away with it. I am just trying to put correct information and upcoming information on the page when it will actually occur. I thank you once again you explaining your decisions to remove information. However, I don't think Kanabekobaton is as civil as you are when he makes revisions and uses the minor edit feature to falsely justify his removals.
So, what do you think? I welcome your thoughts. Noahknows ( talk) 02:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I have removed an unsourced info that you have added to Miss Universe article as follows: “Miss Universe is the most known major international beauty pageant and the most expensive beauty pageant in the world.”
The threshold for inclusion of any information in Wikipedia is
verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a
reliable source
By the way, I have noticed that most of your edits are very informative and helpful to readers and likewise to editors. Actually I have read most of it before writing this message.--

I noticed that the Awards section you added to Miss America 2003 actually refers to Miss America 2002 (the sole difference being that someone came along and changed the name of Oregon's preliminary talent winner from Katie Harman to Brita Stream).
I would make the changes myself, but I see that the preliminary winners are not listed in alphabetical order (which is how I would have listed them); I'm guessing that they're listed chronologically, and, although I was there, I no longer remember who won what on which night.

In some of them there isn't any source cited for the rankings, on others is cited only unofficial sources known for their errors http://www.pageantopolis.com/international/universe_2006.htm and http://www.pageant-almanac.com/miss-universe/semi-finalists.php
The general official site is given, but not the direct link http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html with all the information about the ranking in the above years.
The source http://www.pageant-almanac.com/miss-universe/semi-finalists.php is unreliable because they have listed the rankings for the rest of the top 15 in Miss Universe 2005, but the official site http://www.missuniverse.com/press/05.30.05.html doesn't have them even listed(they have only 10 listed).
Wikipedia's verifiability policy states that the standard is verifiability, meaning, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, and this reliable source is
http://www.missuniverse.com/press/05.30.05.html, not the websites of pageantpolis and pageantalmanac.

Hello PageantUpdater, I posted this message already on the "Miss Universe 2006" article discussion forum, but I am posting it here again just in case you're not alerted about my answer there. (I am new and not sure if I am doing everything right). I always enjoy reading your talk page because you always try to be as neutral as possible and to provide the most reliable sources.
In regards to what you said in your answer "Making the assumption that they are in placement order is thus effectively original research" I agree with.
But isn't it original research also if you make the opposite assumption that they are not in placement order? At least if the contestants were listed in Wikipedia in the same order as on the official site http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html, there wouldn't be any confusion because if people wanted to know more they could contact the original source (Miss Universe Organization, http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html).
Please, take a look at the Reference part of "Miss Universe 2006" article for example. You will see that one of the editors has made all kinds of assumptions, he/she even listed "evidence" on the "Miss Universe 2006" article discussion forum which I think represents original research and as you pointed out not acceptable, right? Is it an acceptable source if a contestant from any of the MU years has mentioned her placement in an interview with a news organization in a video or article?

I applaud your effort to get more free images, but can you please make sure that before you take a high resolution, 2.35 MB, nicely colored photograph at the Tribeca Film Festival and replace it with a low-resolution, off-color, 99KB headshot, please think twice. The goal on here is to get the best quality photo on the article. Hence, my Kevin Bacon is not in the lead. My Sean Combs is not in the lead. If you like an image you have obtained, perhaps it works better somewhere else in the article if the lead is good quality (and most certainly if it is better than the one you have on offer). If you come across a better Susie Castillo, feel free to replace mine, or move mine down. But the best photo we have should be in the lead. Otherwise, keep up the good work. Thanks.

This is ludicrous and clearly the blocking admin has not checked the diffs. The first diff is not a revert but a constructive edit. Only the three "reverts" after that can be classed as such. I have reverted three times, David Shankbone has reverted three times. Why should I be blocked?

Clear edit warring. WP:3RR does not guarantee you three reverts in a day. As to whether or not David Shankbone should be blocked, that has no bearing on this block. — Yamla ( talk) 15:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hum... Hi!
Well, English is not my native lenguage, but I trying to understand you, and that you understand me.
My name is Alex, from Mexico. I want to ask you, what is your criteria for deleted something, or not, in the Miss Universe 2008 Article?
Sometimes you look very radical about what yes and what no. Other times, you'll be very selective... why, if not have a source, Misses Georgia, Israel, for example, are on the list, and others no? I don't understand why certains sites could't be a reference? why the activities of the pageant are not worthies to be in this article (alleging Wikipedia is not a fansite)? I can't understand... sorry...
I can remember, the last year, you insisted put on the article the marriage of Mario Lopez with Ali Landry. We discussed about that, and finally, this trivial data was deleted. But it is still a contradiction about your attitude.
My intention is not fight with you, only understand what happened. Maybe i'm not cleary about wikipedia rules, or maybe i'm traslating the rules to my convenience and the things i'm think are fine... or maybe you do it. I don't know.

A tag has been placed on Melissa Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Edison ( talk) 04:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems that you clamed ownership of the Miss Universe 2008 article. You frequently had eliminated information that is true, I'm making a list of your edits and if every information you had deleted turned out to be true information, I am going to set things straight. You probably don't know how to find or use a proper translator to check this article of the OFFICIAL MISS RUSSIA website ( http://miss-russia.ru/news/item/63) where it clearly says that VERA KRASOVA will attend Miss Universe 2008 instead of the winner. Use Yahoo Babelfish to check the information, so you can realize that you had removed true information for a reliable source multiple times. A person that calls himself an expert and can't find information sources, definitely lies to himself. Don't bother to create a talkpage with this IP, lots of people use it.

Yet again I get unfairly blocked in a 3RR dispute. Not only have I not been warned (academic, perhaps considering I am fully aware of the policy), I have not violated 3RR (and I am not the only person reverting Kaiwhakahaere
[7]). Furthermore, my edits have been 100% in line with policy, whilst Kaiwhakahaere has been completely ignoring my efforts to make him aware of that policy. As well, I have been actively attempting to get neutral opinions on this subject, with one other editor suggesting my application of policy was correct:
[8],
[9], [
[10]. This is unjustified and unfair. To say nothing of the fact that the last time I was blocked for 3RR others admitted that the result at that time was unfair. I've had problems with my temper in the past (this time last year, from memory) but these days I have been doing all I possibly can to actively seek neutral opinions and deal with things fairly, and what happens? I get blocked. This is ridiculous.

I'm not sure what can be done apart from giving them all the same message if they are engaging in the same thing. If you get a few themes cropping up over and over you could write something down and save it somewhere for future messaging I think. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 08:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello PageantUpdater,
I know that you are extremely busy with MU2008 updates. But could you please take a look at the note I posted on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Angelo_De_La_Paz Talk page regarding Natalie Glebova updates?
Thank you,

I did not appreciate the tone you used in your edit summary on the Candice Sanders page. When I came upon the page, I saw that her birth date was not in the appropriate spot in the opening sentence. Instead, it was buried down in the references section. I moved it and in the process, saw that it was in the info box, but not showing up. I tried fixing it, but it didn't work, so I just removed it from there. At least it alerted you to it so that you could fix it. So saying things like "wtf" and using that tone is completely inappropriate and violates the spirit of Wikipedia in keeping things civil. - Maximusveritas ( talk) 05:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello there! I have been adding content to the Miss Universe 2008 page. Even though the Resutls TBD sections I've been adding may seem to be at first too much, however I was attempting to save myself time to add the information into the formats during the pageant, which is tomorrow anyway. Because there has been unfounded protest against it, I am not going to protest it any longer. I will just spend the three hours during the pageant it took me to type all of Wiki markups.
However, what makes me angry is that not only the TBDs are removed, but the cited sources of information which I spent quite some time researching on the Miss Universe official Web site were also removed (the judges information, the hosts and performers, etc.). So I since put the information back in again, and I appreciate that they have yet to be removed again.
However, I am not hear to complain, because I do appreciate your comments in the user history. So when the information that can be cited was removed, I responded with proof in kind when I replaced them back (i.e. Telemundo was being removed when in actuality it can be verified that they are also broadcasting and distributing the pageant). I work in the US broadcast industry, so I definitely know the ins and outs of shows being broadcast and aired.
However, I think we have a common foe on the Miss Universe 2008 page. As I read further up on your User talk page, User:Kanabekobaton has been a thorn on yours and many others' sides. He has deleted all of my information several times out of nuisance and has gone on my User talk page and has vandalized it. I have sent three warnings to him, and in kind he does his crap again and sent me one in spite.
I've also just noticed that he removed content that I placed on the Miss USA special awards four months ago that was ALL accurate information I found on several sources. So he definitely doing stuff maliciously.
So, instead of me being your enemy, I'd rather be your ally in making sure he doesn't keep trying to get away with it. I am just trying to put correct information and upcoming information on the page when it will actually occur. I thank you once again you explaining your decisions to remove information. However, I don't think Kanabekobaton is as civil as you are when he makes revisions and uses the minor edit feature to falsely justify his removals.
So, what do you think? I welcome your thoughts. Noahknows ( talk) 02:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I have removed an unsourced info that you have added to Miss Universe article as follows: “Miss Universe is the most known major international beauty pageant and the most expensive beauty pageant in the world.”
The threshold for inclusion of any information in Wikipedia is
verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a
reliable source
By the way, I have noticed that most of your edits are very informative and helpful to readers and likewise to editors. Actually I have read most of it before writing this message.--

Possible Crystle Stewart lead? I answered you on my page, FYI, but also I wasn't sure which I liked as a lead better on her her page. I also have this one; you decide if you prefer it.

Hi there! There is new dispute in Miss Universe article from a Colombian who have added Colombia, Israel and England as ones of top 10 most successful countries in MU. And Colombia (1 crown) ranked higher than Puerto Rico (5 crowns) ( evidence). I have added vandalism warning to that user. Let's see the Talk Page.

Would you mind taking a look at this article? Trying to see if this person is really notable, but I'm not very familiar with the pageant world. Thanks. howcheng { chat} 20:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that the Awards section you added to Miss America 2003 actually refers to Miss America 2002 (the sole difference being that someone came along and changed the name of Oregon's preliminary talent winner from Katie Harman to Brita Stream).
I would make the changes myself, but I see that the preliminary winners are not listed in alphabetical order (which is how I would have listed them); I'm guessing that they're listed chronologically, and, although I was there, I no longer remember who won what on which night.
Thanks for all your work on pageant-related articles. ForDorothy ( talk) 13:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Pageant Updater, I happened to see this article: [ see here]. I don’t think this article meets notability. It only exists in one website, aside from the fact that it's a clear copycat of the annual Esquire Magazine award e.g. [ here] and [ here]. What do you think?-- Ped Admi ( talk) 02:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there!
There are new problems between me with an IP editor about placements of top 10, top 20 of Miss Universe 2006 (See it recent History). I have added evidences in the Talk Page. I hope you can help to leave a message to this user to stop do revert it again. Thank you and best wishes to you. Angelo De La Paz ( talk) 04:00, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
All of Miss Universe 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2002 placements can be found on the official Miss Universe link http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html and they all have different placements than the ones listed on Wikipedia respective articles for each year. In some of them there isn't any source cited for the rankings, on others is cited only unofficial sources known for their errors http://www.pageantopolis.com/international/universe_2006.htm and http://www.pageant-almanac.com/miss-universe/semi-finalists.php
The general official site is given, but not the direct link http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html with all the information about the ranking in the above years.
The source http://www.pageant-almanac.com/miss-universe/semi-finalists.php is unreliable because they have listed the rankings for the rest of the top 15 in Miss Universe 2005, but the official site http://www.missuniverse.com/press/05.30.05.html doesn't have them even listed(they have only 10 listed).
Wikipedia's verifiability policy states that the standard is verifiability, meaning, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, and this reliable source is
http://www.missuniverse.com/press/05.30.05.html, not the websites of pageantpolis and pageantalmanac.

Hello PageantUpdater, I posted this message already on the "Miss Universe 2006" article discussion forum, but I am posting it here again just in case you're not alerted about my answer there. (I am new and not sure if I am doing everything right). I always enjoy reading your talk page because you always try to be as neutral as possible and to provide the most reliable sources.
In regards to what you said in your answer "Making the assumption that they are in placement order is thus effectively original research" I agree with.
But isn't it original research also if you make the opposite assumption that they are not in placement order? At least if the contestants were listed in Wikipedia in the same order as on the official site http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html, there wouldn't be any confusion because if people wanted to know more they could contact the original source (Miss Universe Organization, http://www.missuniverse.com/press/index.html).
Please, take a look at the Reference part of "Miss Universe 2006" article for example. You will see that one of the editors has made all kinds of assumptions, he/she even listed "evidence" on the "Miss Universe 2006" article discussion forum which I think represents original research and as you pointed out not acceptable, right? Is it an acceptable source if a contestant from any of the MU years has mentioned her placement in an interview with a news organization in a video or article?
