Talk:Kate Moss

Name problem

Kate's real name is not Katherine Ann Moss. This is not the name on her birth certificate and is not factually correct to have as part of her Wikipedia page. Can anyone tell me what is the correct process to have this changed.JonathanMadden (talk) 16:58, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Please see WP:BLP -- generally, material about living persons should be cited by reliable sources. There appear to be several sources (which I've looked at in passing but haven't looked at closely for purposes of assessing reliability) that support the use of "Katherine Ann Moss" as either her legal name or birth name. We cannot go against these sources unless you can provide us another source (or better, sources) that both support what you're saying and are reliable enough to outweigh the other four sources already in the article.

If I get a copy of the birth certificate, How do I show that to you in order to confirm the change?JonathanMadden (talk) 08:38, 6 September 2019 (UTC) And thank you I appreciate you coming back to help. JonathanMadden (talk) 08:38, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Infobox image

Could the infobox image be changed to this one:

Reason: In the current infobox image, her sunglasses cover so much of her face that she is not really recognizable.

The change would be:

| image        = Kate Moss - Decorté advertisement.jpg
| caption      = Moss in 2019

and to remove the now-duplicate image from "Personal life".

Grammar

'She worked several local retail jobs in her early teens'

should be corrected to:

'She worked at several local retail jobs in her early teens'

The former is an ungrammatical colloquialism (quite common in the USA) and is not grammaticality correct English. 86.137.135.17 (talk) 02:09, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Heroin chic and size zero

The associations made in the intro with Moss and the tabloid-ese terms ‘heroin chic’ and ‘size zero’ are vague and subjective. These are associations, not facts, and do not belong in this section 2A02:C7F:9FB8:9C00:FC04:11D7:994B:CBCF (talk) 06:37, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

They are supported by reliable sources in the body of the article and thus a summary version is in the lead per WP:LEAD EvergreenFir (talk) 06:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Birth name

Hello, Kate's birth name is Kate Moss, not Katherine Ann Moss as stated in the infobox. As an employee of Kate Moss Agency LTD, how can I go about changing this please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Factsonfashion (talk • contribs) 13:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

You can't unless you have a very good independent reliable published source. Theroadislong (talk) 17:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

@Factsonfashion: There are already multiple reliable sources cited for her name, including The Guardian. You would have to get them to issue a retraction or correction, or get a reliable source to publish a copy of her birth certificate, before we could change it here. And you need to disclose your paid editing status on your user page before you do anything else on Wikipedia, including participation on this talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Minor tweak to tsunami link

In the section on Moss's charity work, "the tsunami" should probably link to the page on 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami rather than the general page on tsunamis. Can someone update that? Thanks. --141.149.53.253 (talk) 20:32, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
