Talk:Thalía

When WAS she born?

Currently I see her as being born in 1971 and in 1976. One of these answers is definitely incorrect, and the other may be correct.

• 1971 ~ June 30 2006 16:38

1971 is listed in several articles. It also makes sense as she was a young teen in Juguemos a Cantar versus being a child actor. Ronbo76 14:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Should it say Mexican American in the intro since she's now a citizen? 67.10.149.92 07:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

No sources

• In the summer of 2005, Thalía's multi-million dollar contract with Televisa was cancelled, due to her not wanting to star in a soap opera or a show with the company. After several notices the head of Televisa Emilio Azcárraga Jean, decided to cancel her contract after several attempts to make her go back into telenovelas. The contract was made for three telenovelas and only one was made, Rosalinda (1999). Thalía was paid $75,000 U.S dollars a month for the contract.

I removed the above as there are no sources cited for any of this, and some of it sounds like speculation

• So it didn't happen at all (her contract cancelled)? Because other than the "speculation" I don't see why that bit of info couldn't be included. 67.10.149.92 23:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Is Thalía of Greek descent?

Someone editted Thalía with the category of Greek Mexican. Can anyone confirm she is of Greek descent with a citation? Otherwise the category should be deleted. Ronbo76 23:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

She has nothing to do with the Greek, just her name is of Greek origin, because her mother liked learning Greek Mithology very much. Thalía is of Mexican-French-Italian descent and she was born in Mexico City, August 26, 1971. (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)

No, you can see her sister, Laura Zapata is in that category too

- Thalía is not of Greek descent, but she is named after a figure in ancient Greek mythology. Saying she is greek is like saying everyone named Abraham or John is Jewish because those names are of Jewish origin, or everyone named Muhammed is an Arab because Muhammed is of Arabian origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.12.9 (talk) 04:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Confusion arises because of her name and step-Dad

The name plays into it but also her step-Dad is Greek (if I remember correctly). Some people even in Mexico think she is Greek for that reason but nothing I have seen or read indicates she has Greek blood or was adopted. Ronbo76 06:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Article available in Greek language

Please add it: "el:Ταλία". (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)

Sources

I suggest you taking news only from her official website www.thalia.com and her official fan club website www.mdcthalia.com. These sources are always OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. The information on all the other sources may NOT be true. (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)

Images

Hi there. I’ve had a look at the details of the images used in the article and I don’t think they’re quite appropriate per WP:FU. In particular, the album covers really need to go, since the albums are not discussed in detail here. The covers should only be in the articles for the corresponding albums. I’ve removed the covers from the list, but I’ve left the other images for the moment, in case somebody has replacements or is willing to expand the article so that some of the images become usable. Please note that Image:T&tmarried.jpg and Image:Thaliasodicollection1.jpg lack source information. They will be deleted if it is not provided. If you know where these images are from, please add the information to the description pages! —xyzzy_n 18:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Her supposed "Guiness Record" is highly questionable...

"In 1996 "Guiness World Records" decided to put Thalia as 'the most recognized artist in one day' She won awards from all over the world in only one day of receiving Key of Indonesia,Key of Philipines and the key of Miami,won 6 awards from the "Eres Awards" for 'Best Song' 'Best Dance Song' ,'Best Female Singer'....etc. and Won Several awards too in "Heraldo Music Awards" and many other in the same day."

• I'm afraid this information is FALSE. Although many news articles reported this at that time, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NEVER FOUND A GUINESS SOURCE that would have confirmed it. Maybe there was a confusion with another recognition.

Zoltan, MDC webmaster 88.209.201.157 20:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Thalia has never received any of those awards at the Premios Eres. I should know as I have them all recorded.

64.175.66.19 04:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I just saw an interview with Thalía where she mentioned this supposed Guinness award, but she couldn't remember either what it really was. So I'm still saying it has never been true. I would like to see the PROOF from the Guinness World Records book from 1996 or 1997. --Zoltan 19:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the entire paragraph as I'm convinced it's BS. 71.231.107.188 04:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Tonight's wholesale edit

The user who did the edit tonight claims that info was moved to another part of the article. Most of it was actually deleted which is indicated by the history of edit diffs. Recommend another editor review. Ronbo76 04:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The only deletes done were non-neutral point of view comments and most of the comments were moved and rewritten properly. Your too lazy to read the article. Keep you day job (if you have one).

Her correct name is ARIADNA, not *Adriana.

ARIADNA THALÍA SODI MIRANDA... Ariadna is from Latin "ARIADNA" and this form from Greek ARIADNE, a historic name from a Greek god, daughter of King Minos in Greek Mythology. She is NOT named Adriana. Just listen to the audio that I added, SHE is saying her name herself. You will hear it. I think the difference is very evident when pronouncing ARIADNA and Adriana. Regards --Zoltan 07:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Rib Removal

Down here in south america, it's a very commonly held (mis)conception that Thalia has had several ribs removed to enhance her waistline and latin curves. Personally, it sounds a bit far fetched, but perhaps still worth a mention since so many people believe it to be true. plenty of hits for 'Thalia ribs' in google. 200.25.194.96 05:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

And more from down here in Ecuador... Just saw a report on a local entertainment program that said Thalia will be posing nude. Not really interested in finding a source (far more interested in the pictures, personally), but i'm sure its out there. 200.41.2.144 (talk) 01:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Anonymous vandalism

Anonymous user always removes the section about her fan clubs. Please be aware of anonymous vandalism. Thanks. --TheMexican ^(talk) 14:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Sales

I have noticed that all the sales of all the albums by thalia add altogether: 29.150.000, is that truth? In the beginning of the article it says that thalía sold little more than 12.000.000 of albums. It would have to add references to the total of sold albums. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.45.111.67 (talk) 03:56:43, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Citizenship

Since Thalia is now a US citizen can we please change her to being referred to as a Mexican-American singer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.246.153.217 (talk) 07:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

is it appropriate to have a discography including commentaries of the album? I thought discographies are merely a list of albums and release years... Boshiaki (talk) 23:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Arab?

Is she really part Arab? there seems to be no source claiming so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArabMexican (talk • contribs) 21:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

This is vandalism. She is not Arab at all. I have a small magazine-biography about Thalia. She is actually of distant French ancestry. Opinoso (talk) 22:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

More exactly, Mexican-French-Italian. Her father, Ernesto Sodi Pallares is from Italian descendents (Sodi is an Italian surname). --Mex^talk 17:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Stupid and false information removed

Of course she is not of Arabic descendents, I removed false information. Neither she is a Latin Grammy awarded singer, she was only nominated many times. It's true that her album "Arrasando" won a Latin Grammy award, but it was not her award, but the recording engineers' who mixed the album. Please let me know if sombody puts suspicious information or spam. Thank you. --Mex^talk 09:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Numbers of sales

Please DO NOT put false or unverifiable information about her sales. DID you have any OFFICIAL source confirming that she has sold 23 million records??? Also note that the only official sources are Thalia.com and EMITelevisa.com, all the other are gossip, inventions and lies. --Mex^talk 08:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

You have given a figure of 20 million records sold worldwide and cited EmiTelevisa as the source but EmiTelevisa states that her record sales are approaching 20 million and therefore is not a source for a concrete number of record sales. Tne second source for record sales consists of awards given to her by her record label for 12 million unit sales worldwide.Does this mean that ESS and ESSR sold close to 8 million? I think this information is worth looking over. (pixiedustrawr) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pixiedustrawr (talk • contribs) 16:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

new album?

Why isn't there a refence about her releasing a new album this summer? GFN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.130.174.30 (talk) 22:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

ONCE AGAIN

THALÍA DOES NOT HAVE OFFICIAL FACEBOOK AND MYSPACE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND??? They are pages created by fans who want make all to believe it. The only official websites of Thalía are www.thalia.com, www.thaliaradio.com, thalia.emilaforums.com and www.mdcthalia.com... NO OTHER OFFICIAL SITES!!! They are lies! Administrators, please be aware of spammers. This was one of the best pages about Thalía, but was destroyed by liars... Thank you. --Mex^talk 06:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
