Agency

There's been editing about Moss' agency/agencies but it's all unsourced. I just found a Vogue article saying she left an agency (http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2016/04/01/kate-moss-leaves-storm-models-agency). Instead of edit warring figured we can discuss what's going on and how to address it. Pinging TPC2016. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 18:33, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many Thanks!

heroin chic

"Linking to Heroin here serves no purpose. The section talks about heroin chic, which is a fashion 'look', and heroin is about the drug"

@Rsrikanth05: you know, Rsrikanth05, I think Huggle is in error, I really do, because "Linking to Heroin here serves no purpose" looks to me like WP:VD "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose", because, as we both know, the purpose of activity here as editors is to create an encyclopedia, to provide knowledge to others, and although "heroin chic, - is a fashion 'look'", it is a term of fashion yes, if you pause for a moment at look at the term:

heroin chic

you'll see the fashion relevant part of the term is "chic", the first part of the term refers to "a nihilistic vision of beauty" that was reflective of drug addiction (Givhan, Robin (August 8, 1996)" - "At the time during which heroin chic emerged, the popular image of heroin was changing for several reasons (Durrant, Russil & Thakker)"

Sederecarinae (talk) 19:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You know I think you think that I added the link to criticise Kate Moss or attempt to over-emphasise heroin as a factor of her life, but at the time I thought, since not everyone might know anything about "heroin", there are numerous people who might be interested in beauty, and beauty is something which is possible for people to experience in public places, adverts, television, et cetera, - beauty is a mainstream subject, but "heroin" is a more niche, and less public subject in society. Although the term "heroin chic" is a term which is rooted in illegal activity; the existence of the article "heroin" - it is only another encyclopedia article, not an attempt to advertise or promote illegal drug-use, and as an integral element of the fashion term, it is itself independently identified with Kate Moss, the term is not just a fashion term.

1. Huggle was used only in the first edit. The second edit was manually done by me. I undid your revision and my reasons were clear in the edit summary. If heroin has to be mentioned anywhere, let it be mentioned on Heroin chic. It still has no purpose on this page. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 20:06, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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. Aoi (青い) (talk) 16:20, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Infobox image

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Kate Moss. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

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".
