Hometown Table
@Another Believer, Sistersugarcookie, Griffindaly, Germaperry01, and 2a02:b127:8013:e1b8:8c69:387d:3630:c411:, since the situation is escalating it was recommended to open a discussion, and I decided to also call in a user of the project to get an outside point of view as well. So from my point of view I think that in the table we need to include the cities where the contestants first of all declare that they currently live, ergo people like Lina Galore, Morgana Cosmica and Sissy Lea, I think we should leave the current locations (Milan, Bologna, London), for three reasons:
As it happens for the project on en.wiki all the data that we enter of the page (Name, Age and Hometowns) must be inherent to those mentioned at the time of filming, so since such Queens have explicitly said on episode 1 that they live in the previously cities, while remembering their origins, fully attest to their current location.
In the source on the page about the presentation of the contestants, there are indeed cited their respective cities of origin but, at the same time it is also specified that some live elsewhere (ex. Lina Galore originally from Avellino, but lives and works in Milan), ergo Milan is the city that comes closest to the most recent temporal location. Besides the fact, it's kinda easy to do a web searches to show that the contestants' city they refer to most are the ones where they reside and perform.
Still talking about temporal location, I think one must also take into consideration the fact that Sissy Lea, although "originally from Sicily" as the source says without specifying which city she's from, has been living and residing permanently in London, UK since 2003. Therefore, since she has lived twenty years abroad, and currently owns residence there, I think it is more inherent to keep the British city as the location of participation. Moreover, in the broadcast of the first episode, the latter never mentioned a specific city of origin, explaining that she is a Sicilian resident in the UK.
I very much agree with your statement. For example, for All Stars, we change the queens hometown based on where they live at that moment (like Trixie was from Milwaukee on season 7 and Los Angeles on AS3). So we should do the same in this situation. Germaperry01 (talk) 11:00, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
