Talk:Carrie Prejean

Prejean breast implant controversy

the fact that the pageant paid for her breast implants weeks before the pageant should be added to the page:

Agreed, I added the following text, I would like to discuss here before re-adding it since it was deleted as "irrelevant" TharsHammar ^Bits and^Pieces 02:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

A few weeks prior to the Miss USA pageant, Prejean received free breast implants paid for by the Miss California pageant committee. The co-director of the Miss California pageant said "We assisted when Carrie came to us and voiced the interest in having the procedure done, we want to put her in the best possible confidence in order to present herself in the best possible light on a national stage."

It has a reliable source, so i see no reason for it not to be there. As having implants would have an impact on her career as a model and her personal life, it seems very relevant.YobMod 15:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

There is already a reference to the implants in the article. What more do you want?--InaMaka (talk) 15:31, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Besides except for a few people who are actually upset about Prejean's comments (maybe five people in the universe) most straight men find this fact to be a resume builder.--InaMaka (talk) 15:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Public death threat

Why is this not notable? The Squicks (talk) 19:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Miss USA controversy

Let's try to keep this neutral and well sourced, people. Exploding Boy (talk) 06:27, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

That means things like the comments about Alan Duncan too: According to this source [1], Duncan made an offhand remark during the taping of a TV comedy show. He joked,

"If you read that Miss California had been murdered you'll know it was me, won't you?" He later said "I'm sure she's very beautiful and that if we were to meet we would love each other. I have no plans to kill her."

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.

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. 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. It is Duncan's only reason to ever be mentioned in the USA--it has made a name for his obscure self with the hate filled comments.--InaMaka (talk) 15:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

It's been reported in the U.S. that he was indeed making a serious statement, even if it was in the context of a comedy show. The Squicks (talk) 17:19, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

He was trying to be funny in the context of a comedy show. It was not a death threat, and it's being reported in this article as if it were. This stupid remark adds absolutely nothing to the article at all, besides confusion. Exploding Boy (talk) 00:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments left on my talk page that should have been here

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. 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.--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. Exploding Boy (talk) 03:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree with InaMaka. EB please stop and remember NPOV. Thanks. Caden ^{is cool} 07:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Discussion on Miss USA 09

Please join the discussion at Talk:Miss USA 2009#Merge "controversy" with Carrie Prejean article?, where editors are trying to hash out a solution to the explosion of information on this incident that are taking over Wikipedia. Exploding Boy (talk) 04:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

leaked nude pics is it fake or real?

they are real and she's going to lose her crown over it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RealTimeName (talk • contribs) 16:35, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

A better question: will liberal Wikipedia editors treat these "topless" modeling photos differently than the way they treated Miley Cyrus' topless modeling photos. 67.135.49.198 (talk) 18:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

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. Please see [2] for the Miley Cyrus stuff. TharsHammar ^Bits and^Pieces 19:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

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. 67.135.49.198 (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Please GO BACK TO 4CHAN.

Thank you. The Squicks (talk) 00:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Note that, while I don't necessarily agree with how it's been done (InaMaka and TharsHammer are both now technically in violation of WP:3RR on this talk page), it's a good point that both the original anonymous comment and InaMaka's edit summary violate WP:CIVIL. Similarly, the original comment isn't really related to improving the article. As such, there is a decent case that InaMaka was right in removing it, per WP:BLP: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material not related or useful to making article content choices should be deleted".

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.
