Small Grammar Problem

This is a minor thing, but really needs to be fixed. In the first paragraph of section Career: "In the series, she portrayed the mischievous sister of the title character, Megan Parker." This should be rewritten as, "In the series, she portrayed the title character's mischevious sister, Megan Parker." As it's currently written, it sounds like Megan Parker is the title character. I had to read it 3 times just to find out what was really intended.Ж Wind of Tomorrow Ж (talk) 19:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Not a Singer

She really shouldnt be concidered a singer cause iCarly was a soundtrack off of the show. And her sort of fist single Leave It All To Me is a theme song. So we should wait till a real album under her name comes out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.217.186.133 (talk) 22:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Deal with it! she is on a soundtrack isn't she? Selena gomez sang her shows theme song and also sang in a movie and one of the songsis in disney mania she is still considered a singer 71.108.172.26 (talk) 23:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Smallville

FROM Mike 0vermind74 -- January, 12, 2007
I have upgraded Miranda's Filmography to a table instead links, becuase it looked pretty pathetic. ;)

I do wonder and question about something though. In the film Smallville it is marked and confirmed to be the date of 2001, there is a problem here though... in 2001 Miranda was 8 not 5. I don't know who/why someone is changing it back but for now leave it a age 8.

One more think.... do you guys know the status of adding her personal life to the article???
0vermind74 07:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

That "Age 5" bit is reference to the Lana Lang character not Miranda herself, she probably was 8-years old when she played Lana Lang, Age 5. Quasyboy 13:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Well then there should be a notice of that somewhere. I'll put a footnote about it or somthing.

EDIT: Never mind that's too cunfusing for anyone who reads it none of the others have the age. I'm taking it out. 0vermind74 07:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

She actually didn't play Lana Lang; her imdb entry is wrong. That was Jade Unterman, and if you look at Jade's imdb entry you'll notice that she's credited for exactly the same episode as Miranda. David 11:02, 13 Jan 2007 (GMT)

Why is she so mean and cruel in drake and josh?? She is like that crazy annoying girl you see at school who is a jerky tattle tale for no reason. She really needs to change her charachter

LOL Where do people get this information? Do they just search up her name and make stuff up?? I mean really it's not hard to figure out the correct way. I've never really trusted the IMDB anyways. 0vermind74 17:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Two actresses played young Lana Lang in that episode. QuasyBoy 13:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Well ok. I haven't seen it myself, it was the owner of Amazing Miranda who said it wasn't her. I've found it on YouTube though, so I'll watch that when I have time and confirm it for sure. But really, if one of Miranda's biggest fans says it's not her, I'm inclined to believe it. David 12:35, 14 Jan 2007 (GMT)

Ok. Take a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeOm-_DcQno at about 1:30 onwards. Are you telling me that that's Miranda, just two years before she was in School of Rock? There's just no way. Two actresses did indeed play her in that episode, but only one of them played Lana at a young age. So either way, one of the IMDB entries, either Miranda's or Jade's is wrong. And I'm sure that's not Miranda.David 14:46, 14 Jan 2007 (GMT)

I stand corrected, that definitely was'nt her. QuasyBoy 15:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with you, that Luna girl is pretty sweet and cute in all but it's NOT Miranda. I once again have to say I've never really trusted the IMDB. Michael74 17:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh just a little friendly notice, I'm now known as Michael74 not 0vermind74.Michael74 17:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Miranda Cosgrove dubbed the voice of Young Lana in the pilot episode of Smallville —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.112.125 (talk) 02:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Where are all these ethnicity cats she is listed in right now from? And how do you know that she's Jewish? I haven't seen a source for any of this, so I'm removing it for now, but if this information is from somewhere, let me know where Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I see the previous discussion has been deleted. Sigh, does anyone have a source for these new categories? Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Someone has swapped the instances of "Taylor" and "Elizabeth" at some point. I just checked the cited "California Birth Index" and the original information seems to be correct. Perhaps you think that her middle name is really Elizabeth, but by swapping the names like that you cite a source incorrectly. Now, I don't know much about the Birth Index, I don't know where Miranda was born and the validity of the index, but unless you have another source you should leave it alone. I've changed it back now. David 10:14, 03 Jan 2007 (GMT)

Someone changed it again without explanation, so I've changed it back. Mark Grant 20:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Invisible notes

To pre-empt people coming here with IMDB info, I've added these invisible notes to prevent any further edits regarding her ethnic background. We've had quite enough misinformation up on this page about this before. Mad Jack 07:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Uh, we do not care. This is not a disscusion form. I suggest you sign comments, stop posting random messages, and continue to enjoy Misplaced Pages. Megan :) 20:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Stub

I have just marked this article as a stub because there only seems to be around a paragraph of information. Maybe this will encourage people with more knowledge on this person to expand on what we already have. I am fully aware that there are basically no reputable sources of information that can be cited because most of them are fansites which appear to be citing this Wiki page as a source and it's all getting a bit circular.

I also believe that we need to find a picture that is under a reasonable license as this is sort of a biography and poeple may want to see a picture for the purposes of identifying this person.

If you can find a better stub category please do so: I just looked through the list really quickly TheOtherEgo 10:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright.. I guess it works, and if we find more info, then add it.

photo

Question # 1 -- Why can't I use image:mircos.jpg for this article? It a legit photo! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by eddie5000 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 19 April 2007.

Because this isn't a free photo. The only photos we're allowed to use for living people must be free of copyright restrictions. This means that Cosgrove must either clearly and specifically release the copyrights to one or more of her promotional materials, or that somebody needs to take a picture of her and similarly release their rights to that picture. Read the whole notice at the top of this talk page about using copyrighted images as opposed to free ones. — pd_THOR | 03:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Eddie5000, you were unblocked because you claimed you specifically understood WP:FU and that you can not use a fair-use image to depict a living person. --Yamla 14:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

What about if there is no free image available then? TheOtherEgo 20:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Unimportant. The question is whether one could be created. Given that she is a living person, WP:FU dictates that one could be created. --Yamla 23:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea I fully understand that. What I am talking about is viability, who is going to fly over to LA, California or any event that she may happen to be attending just to take a picture and give it away under Creative Commons or GDFL? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheOtherEgo (talk • contribs) 10:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC).

MIRANDA.

Minor bits about the article

• Can she be considered and noted as a singer? Even if any of those "facts" on imdb are true, and she can actually sing, is she a singer? The article never mentions music or singing past the bit of how she was "discovered." Which leads to my next problem I see...
• Is there a source at all for any of the "Early Life" bits other than TV.com or imdb? Obviously we know what films she was in, but is there an interview for a source on the other stuff?

I know the second one is covered by the tag, but what about the first? Userpie 02:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Or maybe, I can do a little googling and find it in 5 minutes. I'll get working on the refs. Userpie 03:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Herritage

What's Miranda's herritage. She looks like a mix of Asian and European descent to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.248.237.217 (talk) 04:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

How do we know her age? who told us. Misplaced Pages is probably right, but where is the source? --Andrewrox (talk) 06:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

To the first person, she's American. Yes she does look like she may be foreign or have a parent who is but she's not and does not. There are people in this world who favor a race in which they are not.

The first person asked what her heritage is, not what her nationality is so telling us that she's "American" is completely useless. American is a nationality, not an ethnicity. And what exactly does "she does look like may be foreign or have a parent who is" mean? Do you mean foreign = not white or black lol? No offense, but you need to get an education ASAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.17.115 (talk) 03:30, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

To the second guy, information like that is not hard to come by. Also pretty much any site that mentions her says the same thing so.. I'm pretty sure it's right. If you need some stone cold proof, try reading a past interview she's done or ask Nickelodeon. CN Guy (talk) 20:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The only thing I need to read is the reference that is included in this article supporting any heritage assertion. If someone wants to put ethnicity, race, religion, heritage in the article it must be backed by a reliable source. WP:BLP. Personal evaluations based on how she looks or her name is not sufficient. --NrDg 20:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I removed mention of her being "of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent". This doesn't look like a particularly reliable reference to me. It stems for "All Movie Guide", a website I wouldn't use as a reference for anything (for example, in their entry on Harold Pinter - , they state that his father was Portuguese-born, which is not correct). The statement itself sounds like the usual laundry bag of ethnicities that fans make up and spread on the internet. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 20:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually she is a japanese heritage, it was mentioned in an interview and she wants to be thought of as a full american so lets just drop the subject ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.88.127 (talk) 04:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

-Can you source this interview? I'd like to know what her ethnic background Miss Cosgrove really is to end an argument with a friend. Of course she is American and fully American, but she had to have come from somewhere. I'm fully American, but if you ask my heritage I'll tell you I'm Irish. I think that since this is something a lot of people ask about, we should verify it on the Wiki page. --99.141.181.14 (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It says on http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Miranda-Cosgrove that she is of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent. This looks like it may have been taken from an earlier version of this WIkipedia article. I have added it to the article: feel free to delete it. Nascargeek21 (talk) 22:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

the website you listed uses starpulse.com as a source the info. starpulse.com doesn't seem like a reliable source to me so it might be best to find a more reliable source before adding the info. --Edgehead5150 22:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I know I have no source on this, but I'd guess that she is of a Filipino heritage, though I believe someone did state that there is also likely some Italian in there, which I could understand. --90.196.136.176 (talk) 00:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Miranda Cosgrove's films

I think that Miranda Cosgrove is a great actress and singer, and has a lot of confidence. I'm getting sort of off topic for just a minute. Has anyone here ever read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan? OMG! Theyre awesome books! They're making the first book into a movie "The Lightning Thief." I think Miranda Cosgrove would be perfect playing Annabeth Chase in the movie, with Jake T. Austin playing Percy Jackson. GO PERCABETH!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.160.235 (talk) 17:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Filmography: Unfabulous

i just wanted to say here that Miranda Cosgrove also guest starred in the tv show Unfabulous. i think it should go somewhere in the Filmography, but i'm not sure which year (i think it was 2007 though), and i really don't know how to add it in and do the formatting and stuff. is there anyone here who can help? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.46.43 (talk) 04:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Scooby-Doo?

http://www.miranda-cosgrove.net/miranda/miranda-filmography.php mentions that Miranda Cosgrove starred in 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?' and 'Scooby Doo Merry Scary Holiday (2004)' as Miranda Wright. However, there is some error with the dates, the website says the production ends over a year after the film is released, and this information isn't in the article. Someone else should confirm this before adding to the article. Shameen (talk) 14:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

You can find free images using the advanced search on Flickr. Just check the box that says "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content". I already checked for an image of Miranda though, and the only free images available aren't clear shots of her, and the others marked as "free" have the wrong license.

How would you know it is free! Anyways, I did check the box that says "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content".

Career start wrong?

The beginning of the article states "Her career began in 2001 when she was spotted by an agent who was so impressed by her singing and dancing in a restaurant called 'Taste of LA' that he signed her up for a number of small roles in commercials." The problem with this is in the Biography section, it states "When she was three years old, she sang and danced at a restaurant called 'Taste of LA.' A talent agent was impressed, and signed her up for his talent agency." She was 7-8 years old in 2001, and if she was 3 it would have been in 1996 or 1997. The other possibility is that "Taste of LA" actually had nothing to do with her starting out at 3 years old, so which is it? Shatteredshards (talk) 18:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC) she rocks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.177.193 (talk) 00:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

As noted above, this article states: "At the age of three, she was discovered by a talent agent while singing and dancing at the Los Angeles restaurant Taste of L.A. Cosgrove stated that when the agent walked up to her and her mom for modeling, she had "never really thought of being an " and "was lucky"." Really?

Yeah looks to me like she's likely a mix of Italian and Filipino or something. I'm pretty sure there's some Italian in there, as well as some Asian, but until we can get some evidence and a source, we can't add it into the article. --90.196.136.176 (talk) 00:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Philanthropy

This section needs to be expanded, renamed "Charity" or cut. Appearing at one event, and we don't even know if that was a free appearance or a paid one, is hardly philanthropy.

Ted Turner gives a billion dollars to the UN, that's philanthropy. Ed Norton sits on the board of directors of a number of charities, again philanthropy. Sing a pop song or two while people eat dinner, nice, but not philanthropy.

Philanthropy generally refers to large commitments of time and money, far in excess of what those who normally engage in charitable acts would normally give. Philanthropy implies not just donating to an organization, but being the primary donor. It implies leading an organization without taking a salary, not simply volunteering a few hours or days of time.

Contradiction tag

I found and fixed the contradiction. It was a simple placement of a specific word here and there with an entire line being re-written to coincide with the actual interview. If you still feel this article is in contradiction, feel free to place a new tag or fix the contradiction. Thanks. Kjnelan (talk) 22:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with the change and have reverted it. My understanding, based on the sources I could find, is:

• Ms. Cosgrove was spotted by a talent agent while singing and dancing in a restaurant. This happened when she was three years old (some sources have five years), so that was sometime from 1996 to (possibly) 1999.
• She was not spotted a second time by an agent, years later, while still or again singing and dancing in that restaurant, at least, I can't find a source stating or suggesting that (other than copies of our Misplaced Pages article).
• Her acting career took off in 2001 – not counting some earlier acting in commercials – but that was not the result of being spotted in a restaurant, unlike what was suggested by the "fix".
• So the actual contradiction is that the article states that the event of being spotted took place in 2001, which is not possible if Ms. Cosgrove was born in 1993 and was three to five at the time.

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Misplaced Pages is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Misplaced Pages community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).

Please don't simply revert something because you think you are right. You may well be, I'll give you that, but it would be much better to actually work together as a team towards a really good article. Change the year, or fix the contradictory sentence if you are in the know about when she was "found" by the talent agent. Thanks again for your continued excellent work on this article.

When I see an ill-considered change, one that lowers the quality of an article, I'll feel free to revert it, thank you. As far as I understand, that is all part of the Wikispirit: bold, revert, discuss. I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to my "suggestion". I just explained what the contradiction is, which is apparently something else than what you thought it was, whatever that may have been.  --Lambiam 08:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

um Lambiam, it's a template tag. Can we please remember to be courteous. Thank you.

So how do we fix the contradiction rather than ignoring it and just reverting a proposed change? (Misplaced Pages:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle#What BRD is.2C and is not) Kjnelan (talk) 08:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if you've also missed that in her own words, according to the third citation, "but when I was three, an agent walked up to my mom and asked if I wanted to do modeling and print. You know, you hear about that all the time, agents coming up to kids. Anyway, I just kind of did commercials and modeling and stuff, and I thought it'd be fun, and then when I was seven I really realized that I loved doing it, and that's when I started trying out for more theatrical things and actually roles and plays and stuff like that." There are several citations with valid descriptions of events. Perhaps only change 2001, to 1996 and that will solve the problem? I'd think she would know which of the versions is the correct one? What do you think? Kjnelan (talk) 08:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, WP:DTTR. I didn't miss that citation, but I don't know if it was 1996, or 1997, or perhaps even later. I put in a new text, but it is not entirely backed up by the sources. We know: (a) that Cosgrove was spotted when she was three; (b) that she was signed up – whatever that means; (c) that she appeared in commercials. We also know that (c) was after (b) was after (a). But how soon after? Maybe, by the time she actually did the first commercial, she was already four or five.  --Lambiam 09:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

DTTR... Yes I know that one. There is also WP:Civility. Thanks for making the changes. Great job! Cheers. Kjnelan (talk) 09:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Citations

The following citation no longer works (at least not in Firefox): ^ a b Chau, Thomas. "An interview with the kids of School of Rock". Cinema Confidential (UGO). Archived from the original on 2007-09-27. http://web.archive.org/web/20070927190221/http://www.cinecon.com/interviews/schoolofrockkids.shtml. Retrieved on 2007-08-24. I could not verify the citation as used since it talks specifically about Miranda's acting career. This could lead to another possible contradiction down the road with regards to her career starting either when she was 3 or in 2001 (when she was 7 or 8?). Thanks. Kjnelan (talk) 22:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Lambiam, is the above a problem? Thanks Kjnelan (talk) 07:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

The link works fine for me (also using Firefox). Here is what it has to say about Miranda's acting career:

MIRANDA: I’ve been acting since I was three. An agent walked up to me. I was actually dancing at a restaurant. Taste of LA, heard of it?

See further my reaction above, which I wrote before I read this section.  --Lambiam 08:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool... funny it doesn't work for me. Revert away. No worries then, but still think about fixing the contradiction as stated above in my response to your response about the response... I'm getting dizzy.  ;) Peace. Kjnelan (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Discography Page

I think that Miranda Cosgrove should have her own discography page.

"Highest paid child star"

Cosgrove earns US$180,000 per episode of iCarly, making her the second highest paid child star on television.

She turned 18 in May, surely she doesn't qualify as a child star any more. Should this be removed or put in the past tense or something 80.2.75.107 (talk) 17:39, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

The source was a bit over a year old. In addition the the age concern (and not knowing where the source draws the "child" line), we don't know where things stand today: how much she earns, how much the purported #1 (the kid from "Two and a Half Men") is/will be making, etc. I've dated the sentence accordingly. - SummerPhD (talk) 18:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Miranda Cosgrove in "Unfabulous"

Accident

She was in an accident and broke her ankle. This is not a "severe car accident". The crash did not cause "Miranda Cosgrove fans from all around praised to her" (For breaking her ankle? Good job breaking that ankle! Maybe you'll get a cool cast!) This does not belong at the top of the article.

Compare Gloria Estefan She was in critical condition with a fractured spine, was airlifted to a medical center and had titanium rods permanently implanted in her spine, followed by a year of physical therapy.

Cosgrove broke her ankle. She probably went to the nearest hospital, by car, had x-rays and a cast.

Estefan's section title is "1990: Cuts Both Ways, tour bus accident and surgery" (lumped in with an album release) but Cosgrove's is "Severe car accident"? Estefan's doesn't merit mention at the top of her article. Cosgrove's does? Had this not interrupted a tour, this would merit -- at most -- a single sentence in the article. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Support your edits. --BweeB (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

There is no evidence this was a "severe" accident (a broken ankle is fairly minor). There is no evidence this accident "endangered her future iCarly career". Placing this minor accident in the heading suggests that this minor accident is on par with iCarly and her music career. The specific location of the accident is trivial. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:33, 14 August 2011 (UTC) Yes, she made it back to Los Angeles safely. Yes, she was happy to see her puppy. We're one edit away from hearing who signed her cast and whether or not she needs help taking a shower. I am again removing this trivial material and excessive coverage of this minor event. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Sarcasm may not be helpful, although I agree with you. --Confession0791 01:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there was no sarcasm. We have now twice removed that "she had made it safely back to Los Angeles and was happy to see her father, her poodle, and her friends." We also have been told the status of each person on the bus, including the bus driver's horrible, horrible stitches but that everyone was expected to recover "at least physically". All of this is supported with several quotes and assurances that it was sad that the bus driver was hurt, canceling the tour was bad news for fans and Cosgrove was heartbroken. I would not have been surprised to hear reports on costars wishing her well (with quotes) and comments on who is helping her with personal hygiene. Notice that since my comment that you were replying to, the happy to see her poodle/made it safely back to L.A. bit was restored because it "is necessary for the public to know". We'll probably have to continue clearing this kind of crap out for a couple of months. I'd be shocked if we don't see updates when she gets her cast off. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

My apologies, I wasn't watching the article closely. We're always going to have these issues with articles pertinent to tween/teen pop culture. --Confession0791 08:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I believe that the bus crash in which Miranda and her mother were involved in deserves more recognition on Wiki.

There are new reports coming from her official site negating the information that is currently on her wiki page. At first I did add WAY too much detail, but then i kept it to a minimum and I believe that is warranted. I do not think this little bit of legitimate updated information is irrelevant. In the future however, I will not go into detail about her twitter postings, I will admit that was a bit much. But I fully believe that this little bit of information is relevant.

===Tour Bus Accident===

During her summer tour, on August 11, 2011, Cosgrove broke her ankle in a bus accident in Illinois. Cosgrove's injury forced the postponement of her U.S. tour dates "until further notice." Contrary to original publications about the incident and its effects on her tour, an update from Miranda Cosgrove's official website states "Due to the severe ankle injury she suffered in a bus accident last week, Miranda Cosgrove has to cancel the rest of her tour to take the time to properly recover, per doctor’s orders. Miranda is heartbroken and thanks all the fans for their continued support. She is looking forward to touring again and seeing all her fans on tour next year."

GeisterXfahrer (talk) 23:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

This minor event does not need a heading. Especially compared to Estefan's far more serious accident (see above) it is a minor event. The newer reports are not in conflict with the earlier report. At first they announced that the tour dates were postponed. This was later updated to cancel the dates. She was in a bus accident, broke her ankle and canceled tour dates as a result. Quotes are not needed. The "Contrary to original ... on her tour" bit suggests there is some kind of controversy, underhanded actions or doublespeak. The sources do not support this. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:42, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for at least leaving the fact the the remainder of her tour has been cancelled. I was pushing so hard for these changes because I talk to her on twitter (big whoop right?) but any way, yea, so i kind of had a little devil whispering in my ear.
