[edit] National Titles

It was a good idea to give the national title for each Miss Universe, but I suggest to remove it because it is not accurate at all.

Indeed, old titles in the 50's or 60's were not always the same as those awarded today. I am not sure that Miss Greece in the 60's was already Star Hellas, I don't think the word "Universe" was included in Miss Japan's title, I know Miss España used to be "Señorita España"...

Furthermore, Colombia's own Luz Marina Zuluaga (Miss Universe 1958) never won the "Señorita Colombia" title, many use to say that she was the first runner-up, but in several occasions, Ms. Zuluaga has said herself that it is a mistake since at that time such placements were not announced.

France's own Christiane Martel was not awarded neither the same Miss France title we know these days.

For that reason I suggest that we should create a new section featuring the current national titles of the delagates competing at the Miss Universe pageant. And erase therefore the national title from the winners' list since there are too many mistakes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KMOf (talk • contribs) 07:48, 29 August 2006
