is it me or.....?

Did the controversy surrounding photos of her in underwear get removed? To date there are 3 controveries surrounding her right? Under photos, Vanity Fair, and Party in the USA? The teen awards says something like she already had a risque image, so I'm guesing this is referring to the 1st contro.?

Why did it get removed? It was talked about for a while, and damaged her image right? So its pretty notable. not raggin on anything, but what happened to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.219.104 (talk) 02:11, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was removed because it was judged a non-notable controversy in a previous discussion. Consensus can change, however, so you are welcome to discuss why it should be re-added. liquidluck✽talk 00:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was quite surprised to see it removed, but I haven't been lurking on this talk page so much recently, I've been bus elsewhere. I didn't like it how it was though. Maybe it's worth a sentence or 2 with supporting references,l not much more than that. What does anyone else think? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There's also the asian photo controversy. Perhaps organize all the photo controversies in a single section. liquidluck✽talk 00:35, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Although the controversy section should be merged into life/career, as it's basically a repository for negative information and, since its located at the end, leaves the reader with a poor view of Cyrus. liquidluck✽talk 00:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! $4bn? She's having a laugh! I think we'd be accused of cruft if we added that in (unless she wins... :S). Agreed on the controversy section, they're generally best avoided- rather like "trivia" and "in popular culture" sections. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:43, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Entrepreneur section

Should the entrepreneur section be broken out to Level 2 heading? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say we probably want a section called something like "other work" for most things that aren't part of her singing and acting, and that it should be placed in there, but still as a level 3 header, but its current position is a little odd. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with its current position being odd. Okay, Other work is a great idea. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 01:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saturday Night Live

Oi! For the record, this reversion of JB Ferri (talk · contribs)'s edit was based on information from a Wikipedia article that stated Miley Cyrus was a guest musician on Saturday Night Live, until I found that JB Ferri had added that information only moments before. I cannot find any reliable source reporting that she was ever on this show, so please forgive my misinformed edit summary entry. I'm about to revert this user's other edit; please correct me if I'm wrong. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 02:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Backflip123 --AussieLegend (talk) 09:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the Friends for Change edits, among his many others, but these I couldn't revert simply because I wasn't sure exactly what was vandalism, what wasn't, simply based on my own ignorance.Your evidence is pretty compelling. Are you not going to add the {{subst:Uw-socksuspect|casename}} on their userpages? It would definitely help notify those of us who don't see your message here. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 09:46, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OCCUPATION

She's not an author. She only wrote 1 book. Writing only 1 book about yourself with someone else doesen't make you an author.
