Miss America question

Who was Miss Nevada, 1989 in the Miss America contest???? Please email response to KCBirt@aol.com

Casey Close

It is almost certainly wrong that her husband is Tom Hanks' agent, unless it's another Hanks. Tom Hanks' agents are CAA and I think he's represented by Ron Meyer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wideeyedraven (talkcontribs) 01:33, August 24, 2007 (UTC).

Controversies Section

It seems that User:TanningLamp has removed the entire controversies section now three times. To leave this information out is to bias the article. Surely a complete picture of the person should be presented. Tanninglamp in the edit summary writes that calling Ted Kennedy an "Enemy on the home front" was not controversial, and that the Obama Madrassa controversy was not sourced. That former hints at bias, and the latter is not a reason for deletion, but to find a source to improve the encyclopedia. I urge TanningLamp to help to improve the article instead of deleting sections wholesale. Arjunasbow 01:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I will add the "Hostile enemy right here on the home front" controversy back to the article using a different source to satisfy TanningLamp's objections. Arjunasbow 17:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

DOB?

One part of the entry says 1964, one says 1966? Sadistik (talk) 13:30, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Article cleanup

Bullet points are generally for lists and not for article sections or paragraphs. In addition, WP:BLP has strict standards of how and when content that is potentially controversial should be handled and referenced in an article.Awotter (talk) 23:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Controversies

Ok, these two controversies are seriously nit-picking. Neither seem to have garnered any major reporting specific to Carlson. I suggest they are undue weight and would remove completely if not for a single editor. Comments? Arzel (talk) 03:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

What are you using to judge that neither "garnered any major reporting"? I was able to find plenty with a single search. Gamaliel (talk) 17:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I had done some searching and was unable to find much on a google news search of these incidents. I agree that the second has after seeing your additions, but I question the first issue. Arzel (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Most people don't know this, but Google News only searches the last 30 days or so. There is an archive that is searchable, but I don't know how extensive that is. Your library probably offers free access to Lexis/Nexis so you are better off using that. 17:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that. Arzel (talk) 17:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
