omission?

Why is there no mention of the sexually-oriented video that ended Prejean's lawsuits against pageant officials? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.225.247 (talk) 04:07, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned at the bottom of the article. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 04:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does Carrie still believe in Christianity? I don't see this in this article anymore. WikiPro1981X (talk) 23:34, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sex Tape Scandal

This is, in part, why people don't trust Wikipedia - the most determined win. Every reference to the sex tape scandal (which was significant in her settlement and has a number of valid citations, not TMZ) gets deleted. Since it's probably half of why people have even heard of her, why is it continually removed?

I'd wager that if she was ever noteworthy enough to appear in Britannica, they'd mention it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.201.126 (talk) 21:25, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned on the Sex Tape page - I clicked the link to this page, and no mention of it ? - 124.191.144.183 (talk) 14:47, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2007 CA pageant

I fixed a dead link regarding her performance in the 2007 CA pageant. I couldn't find a credible source saying that she was originally 3rd runner up and then promoted to 1st runner up in 2007 CA pageant. They all look like sources that could have gotten that info from Wikipedia... So I had to change the text. Please fix it if you can find something... Tdferro (talk) 04:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contract termination and Same-sex marriage

Did her views on same-sex marriage have anything to do with her contract termination? The section mentions Trump talking about her views on it without giving any context, which makes it seem out of place. 50.157.104.147 (talk) 16:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

-:That means things like the comments about Alan Duncan too: According to this source [http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/matthew-bell-the-iiosi-diary-1674262.html], Duncan made an offhand remark during the taping of a TV comedy show.  He joked,

-:This is akin to taking comments clearly intended as funny or satirical made on a show like, say, Saturday Night Live, and reporting them as news.  It's inappropriate, unencyclopedic, and frankly, if reported as fact, bordering on slanderous.
+== External links modified ==
-:To make it absolutely clear: Alan Duncan did not threaten Carrie Prejean's life.  He made an offhand remark on a TV comedy show trying to get a laugh.  It's barely newsworthy, and it's certainly not encyclopedia-worthy.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] ([[User talk:Exploding Boy|talk]]) 15:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
-::::::::To make it absolutely clear:  This is ONLY Exploding Boy's opinion.  It is NOT fact.

-Hi, I'm asking you to discuss any proposed changes you would like to make to the Miss USA 2009 controversy section of the Carrie Prejean article on that article's talk page.  There is a discussion already going on there that you should join.  Please do not make wholesale reversions or reinsert questionable information without discussing first.  [[User:Exploding Boy|Exploding Boy]] ([[User talk:Exploding Boy|talk]]) 00:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
-:Nothing that I have inserted is questionable.  Exploding Boy keeps removing the comments of Prejean and limiting the discussion of the Miss USA controversy to the obviously demented viewpoint of Hilton only.  This article is about PREJEAN and she should be given an opportunity to respond to Hilton's negative, hate-mongering comments.  Dear Exploring Boy, do not remove the fully reliably sourced, notable comments of Prejean about the controversy in which Projean is the main character.  Otherwise the article biased.--[[User:InaMaka|InaMaka]] ([[User talk:InaMaka|talk]]) 01:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

-::I left the comment on your talk page to ensure you saw it and because it is directed at you.  I'm still asking you to discuss proposed changes.
-::I have not been removing Prejean's comments at all, but please be aware that there is no function of Wikipedia that allows it to be used as a forum for article subjects to respond to comments made about them.  Our goal here is to provide '''relevant''', '''encyclopedic''' information '''neutrally'''.  That means we give both sides equal space and make no judgements.  This section is getting far too long as it is: it's threatening to take over the entire article, and most of it can probably be trimmed back considerably.

-:I don't think we will have 504 words of text for the incident, but it all depends on if Miss Prejean and her people address the issue or not.

-::I'm betting that making the section read: "The photo shows Prejean with her bare back exposed but her front covered with her arms" and "Though the pictures left an impression that she was bare-breasted, Prejean was facing away from the camera, using her arms to cover her front, and was actually not topless" will not fly here despite those sentences being lifted directly from Miley Cyrus' article and made to fit this one.

-==Remarks by Alan Duncan==
-This section really does not belong in this article.  As far as I can tell, she has never even responded to them; we don't need to include everything anyone has ever said about a person in the article about them, and his comments are discussed in his article already.
