[edit] 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???

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)


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)

[edit] 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)

omg i have the same birthday as her may 14 1993!!!!!!

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

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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).
Looks like someone was finally able to do that Ospinad 03:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Her name is Miranda Cosgrove not Crosgrove. ++Arx Fortis 01:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weight Gain

Someone needs to source that "Weight Gain" section. What a bizzare explanation and quote. Kcurley 04:16, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

It might be vandalism.  Chantessy  15:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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? Userpietalk to me! 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. Userpietalk to me! 03:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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. Wikipedia is probably right, but where is the source? --Andrewrox (talk) 06:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
