WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 189 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Kayla Martell

I just wanted to point out that I started an article on Kayla Martell. I'm not familiar with your WikiProject at all, so I just wanted to point this out in case there are any project tags and such that you guys usually put on the articles of contestants. Dismas|^(talk) 07:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Beauty Pageants articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Beauty Pageants articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Thank for help. Evanex 19:23, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

World Miss University

I am about to nominate the article World Miss University for deletion because it does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. A Google News search found exactly 1 result, in a non-English language. The official website is a blank black page. Even unreliable sources like blogs don't seem to have much clear information. As this page is presumably of interest to this Wikiproject, I invite your comments on the AfD and/or improvements to the article to verify notability. Thanks.

Request for photographs and images

To help address the many requests for photographs People-n-photo-bot has moved article talk pages from Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of people and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of artists and entertainers to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of beauty pageant contestants if it is in a sub-category of Category:Beauty pageant contestants. Members of this project are invited to address the requests for images listed. Please note that some articles may now have an appropriate photograph and that the needs-photo flag has simply not been removed, this can also be checked using the Image Existence Checker link on the category page. If a page has been incorrectly moved please inform me on my talk page.

Miss Universe 1956

I came across Carol Morris during my work on Project Iowa + Project Cities Notable people and was appalled that it had only 2 sentences with no info-box to describe the only Miss Iowa to win a Miss USA title not to mention winning the Miss Universe in 1956. Beauty pageants is not my area but I did develop the article to the extent I think your project should evaluate it and repost it's quality and importance scales which are both ??? now. Also because it is not my area of knowledge maybe someone from your project could refine the article and you may have better sources to expand the article further. I also have questions about her movie career as even though I had cited reputable sources they conflict with other sources mainly the actor Jeff Chandler's filmography on Wikipedia. I think her movie career could be expanded but I also think there is another actress Carol Morris and again I am not familiar with this area. Also I suggest someone consider if the lead line needs improvement or not. I did remove the US-pageant-bio-stub template from the article. One last thing I did a check on article traffic and Carol's article averages 30 views a day for the last 3 years with spike of 932 views on August 24, 2010.
Keep up the good work. --RifeIdeas Talk 20:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

"Results summary" sections

I've noticed a great deal of pageantry articles contain "Results summary" sections detailing how individual contestants did at the following level of competition. These sections make little sense to me, as the article's emphasis should be on that pageant, not the next one, and the information these sections contain is already covered in the "Winners" table, where it more appropriately belongs and where it is still easily accessible. I've already removed quite a few of these sections for the reasons stated but felt I should leave this note (does anyone even visit this Project?) in case someone comes across my edits and is looking for a more detailed explanation or place to debate this issue. If you do respond here, make sure to let me know!  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 18:29, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Disagree: I feel that the Results Summary sections should be included. The information is in the Winners Table; however this is a SUMMARY section. Many people use these state pageant pages to see how well a certain state has done at Nationals. The summary makes it easy to find that information; especially when they pageant has been around for a number of years.MissPageantNews (talk) 18:04, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

footer templates and autocollapse

I have noticed that the beauty pageant templates are among the few that do not use state=autocollapse. I have added some footer templates (Template:State Pageant Winners footer, Template:Miss USA delegates, and Template:Miss America Delegates) to some systems of templates. Without using autocollapse, it causes some template intensive pages like Shandi Finnessey to look a bit cluttered, but it complements other pages with fewer templates like Jeri Zimmerman. Implementing the commonly used autocollapse feature would alleviate this.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:59, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Mother Daugter pageant

Do we have an article the mother-daughter pageant? Don't know its name.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:27, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Templates vs. succession boxes

Now that most major titleholders have articles, why don't Miss USA, Miss America and Miss Universe use templates rather than succession boxes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:20, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Template conversion

I have requested that {{Miss Universe Organization titleholders}}, {{Big Four Pageants titleholders}}, {{Miss Earth titleholders}}, {{Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty Titleholders}}, {{Miss Dominican Republic Organization titleholders}}, {{Carousel Production Inc. titleholders}}, {{Miss Philippines-Earth titleholders}}, {{Miss Chile Titleholders}}, {{Vanbros titleholders}} and {{Greenwood Productions titleholders}} all be edited so that they can be used to create single-location editable navboxes such as {{Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty titleholders 2009}} and {{Big Four Pageants titleholders 2010}}. Now instead of going to four or five pages, you can edit in one location using the v/d/e buttons. Also, since dedicated templates now exist for each year, I have created footers that link them all. I have only done recent years for the first four templates on the list above. Others will have to do the rest.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:06, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Mallory Hagan copyedit request

The reviewer at Talk:Mallory Hagan/GA1 suggested that I request a copyedit.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:44, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Mrs. Pakistan World

I have been looking at the article Saiyma Haroon. Can each winner of Mrs. Pakistan World have an article?

She won when the competition was held in Oslo, so the Category: Beauty pageants in Pakistan might need changing. (She is a Norwegian citizen, from Oslo.)

Shouldn't articles about a beauty pageant inform in which city the contest was held in a particular year? --Normash (talk) 22:22, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
