Criminal Conviction

xWhy does it not say she is a convicted criminal? It is a fact, so it should be labelled as so on the top part of the page along with the other adjectives describing her.

Because it isn't a defining point of her life. Many, many celebrities have convictions, but don't have the label 'criminal' as it is not a key point of their life. Why should she have this label?-Localzuk^(talk) 07:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

--Why shouldn't she have the lablel? It IS a defining point in her life, and as a person in the public eye, most certainly deserves it.

Generally, one would tend to apply "convicted criminal" only to a person who's been convicted of a serious felony. In the most technical sense, if you've ever gotten a parking ticket, you're a "convicted criminal", but such a statement tends to imply a serious crime.

But she didn't get a parking ticket - she got thrown in jail. You only get thrown in jail for serious offences.

President Bush is also a "convicted criminal". Is that how he should be referred to in his encyclopedic entry? The current hysteria over this woman should not influence the objectivity of the article. Cbreitel 13:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

STD

can i add that she has herpes because it already a fact by now?

Even were that sourceable, I don't believe that would really be appropriate for the article. This isn't the supermarket tabloid page. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 05:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

That sort of information needs reliable sources in accordance with WP:BLP. Acalamari 16:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Tabloids and blogs, where information like that comes from a lot of the time, is very unreliable. As I said above, information about STDs on biographies of living persons (in fact, any controversial material) needs reliable sources in accordance with WP:BLP. Acalamari 16:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I always just assumed she'd contracted a STD. It definitely should not form part of the article. ````

um the prescription for herpes meds on paris exposed. also paris exposed shoudl be mentions as the auctionees of the parsi hilton stuff tried to blackmail her for alot of cash to stop it try links from thesuperfical.com to paris exposed thing that have been published.

Contradiction

I feel that the introduction;

Hilton rose to fame when an amateur sex video depicting her was leaked onto the Internet in late 2003. The release of the tape, later titled 1 Night in Paris (2004),

Is inappropriate to be placed in the introduction and contradicts a sentence taken from several paragraphs below;

In 2001, Hilton began to develop a reputation as a 19-year-old socialite, being identified as "New York's leading It Girl" whose fame was beginning to "extend beyond the New York tabloids".

She was indeed identified as New York's leading "it" girl before her sex video was leaked to the internet. She did not rise to fame due to her sex video. The introduction also insinuates her role in the Simple Life came about due to the sex video - this is said without sources because it is untrue.

I believe the sex video has been noted under it's own section "sex video" and therefore this should see to the removal of reference to the sex video in the first paragraphs.

I agree, make the edit. 62.49.68.222 18:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC) 

I'm not sure how. It'd be appreciated if someone else could remove all reference of the sex tape and the false claim that it led to her being an actress from the first few paragraphs 124.182.118.132 19:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Paris on Larry King

On the show she stated that she did not do drugs, But a day after the interview a video appered on CNN,FOX,MSNBC,ECT showing her smoking a pot like substance....Dont you think people should add that into the article. User:MarkDonna

Your interpretation of what it was is not a reliable source, so unless we have something more reliable to go by, that couldn't go in the article. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Paris Hilton Hotel

How did a picture of a Hilton Hotel in Paris become the main picture for the article? Messy Thinking 01:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I think someone stuck that there as either a joke or a very humorous misconception. DarthGriz98 01:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Yep, it was vandalism. It was kinda funny, too. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 01:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

It was vandalism, and a joke, definitely. Acalamari 01:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

While I'm not allowed to state my views on that image, it certainly wasn't harmful. Messy Thinking 01:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Addition of extensive videographic evidence showing drug use

I have added what I believe is an unbiased synopsis of videos showing substance use by Hilton. I have removed previous conjecture that Hilton was indeed smoking marijuana and quote her or persons in the video instead.

It is rare, as of yet, that an iconic individual has diarised their alleged illegal drug use to such an extent, and I think the synopsises are encyclopedic and pertinent:

Authenticity: There is no doubt that because of her appearance, voice, and known acquaintances that the linked videos are of Paris Hilton; however, are they documentary rather than fictional? I would say because of the private and candid nature, the sexual groping, explicit substance use, unflattering language and image, and because at least one video was purchased from a foreclosure of Hilton's personal storage unit, that the videos are of documentary authenticity and therefore encyclopedic in nature. 67.186.245.63 19:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Unprotect this page

This page has been protected since 14th May. In this time, the protection has been completely unsuccessful at stopping vandalism; logged in users are more than happy to vandalise this page. Therefore, the semi-protection is worthless. Remove it. 62.31.67.29 15:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The solution doesn't appear to me to be lowering the level of protection. Cbreitel 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

A positive contribution to the article that can't go in due to protection.

I'm so pleased that the the semi-protection presumes I'm a vandal, despite having been editing Wikipedia for longer than most of the contributors to this page. Here's what I would have added if it were possible. Perhaps a logged-in user can add it, or perhaps they're too busy vandalising the page to notice. 62.31.67.29 15:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

In popular culture

On June 26 2007, Mika Brzezinski, the co-anchor of MSNBC's Morning Joe, refused to air a story about Hilton's release from jail. Her producer had consistently put the story as the lead, ranking over the other big news story of the day: Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana's breaking from President Bush on the Iraq war, which Brzezinski thought was more important. She attempted to burn the story's script on air but was prevented from lighting it by a co-host. Later in the newscast, she tore and shredded copies of the story. The incident later became popularized on the Internet and in the days that followed Brzezinski reportedly received large quantities of fan mail supporting her on air protest. im not really sure about you being considered a vandal, but well it is paris hilton, i regulary draw pernis or horns on the photos of paris....just not when they on the computer.lol like prez hilton.] i just wanted to mention thier is another really popular cartoon of all paris social set, like lindsay called super sluts or super skanks and they are super heros who get the job done using their skanky skills...lol does anyone know whtas ist called i seen it on the news so i thought it was worth mentioning.and all the youtube piss takes with paris lookalikes are funny.

Addition of natural physical apparence?

Should the fact that Hilton is a natural brunette and uses blue colored contacts to cover her brown eyes be added? 67.186.245.63 20:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Paris Hilton nominated for 2007 Teen Choice Awards

The actress is nominated for this years' Teen Choice Award

I think it is time we have a separate section for awards won by Paris Hilton 59.93.113.144

References

that she has brown hair and eyes is important.also the shots of her coming out the jail where the first without her wearing her blue contacts in many years. something shoudl be mentioned about the popular use of the words celbuntee (like celb and debutante together)to decribibe her occcupation, as a basicly a popular person who flogs stuff who has really done much to earn thier celebrity , more of a social who has become famous and newsworthy becuse of her fmaous connnections along the lines of kimberly stewart jade jagger pixe geldof and other . the other word to describe paris is celbutard. is perez hilton mentioned???

also more shoudl be said about her reactions to the jail as there is a major media frenzy, maybe someone should do an article on "parisgate" if they wish to do it justice, especilayy to all the paris flogging and critisms that ended up on every news channel on the world just about.the world certainly did not do 23 days without paris. also the blogging about paris at the time was minute to minute and crazy.

Businesswoman?

since when has paris hilton been a businesswoman? This should be removed.
