[edit] External links

The external links really only consists of youtube videos - it looks messy. Is it possible for people to add more websites about Miranda? 124.186.229.87 10:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)Lucy

Please don't add unofficial websites. (Number1spygirl 13:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Definition

Miranda Kerr does not fit the description of "supermodel." She is a commercial "model". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.91.182 (talk) 05:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Picture

There seems to be problems with obtaining an approved picture of miranda - is it simply a matter of getting permission from a website owner? 124.186.229.87 10:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)Lucy

I have added a temporary measure, which is a low-res fair-use image, a still from the Victoria's Secret commercial. To have a better-quality image, we need the permission of the photographer. If someone has a personal snap from somewhere, we could use that. Or, if we can get emailed permission from an actual photographer (or Miranda's agent), that would work too. From the information that's in the article, it looks like one of the editors may have contact with her boyfriend? He might be able to help. Anyway, I've got quite a bit of experience now with image permissions, so if I can help, please let me know. --Elonka 01:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdate

Miranda Kerr's bio on her Portmans blog has her birth date as 20th of April 1985, a representative of Miranda also contacted mirandakerronline.com to correct the admin on her birth date (which was the same incorrect date as on this page currently).

I don't know much about editing Wikipedia and my original correction of her birth date was changed back for not having proof or something (not that there's any proof at all of this 1983 date), so I was hoping someone else could edit it correctly, since having her age two years and two months off reality is pretty serious for someone who is now a pretty big name model I'd think.

For the bio: http://portmanscomau.ozstaging.com/wordpress/?page_id=2 Soff 08:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I changed her date of birth to April 20, 1985 according to her bio on her official blog at Portmans. Number1spygirl 13:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

There is no way she could've been born in 1985. It's not mathematically possible according to a couple of facts. It's been a documented that she was 13 in 1997 (when she won the Dolly modeling contest), at the very least she would've been born in 1984 (though most articles list her as a 1983 birth, which makes sense). The Portmans blog is wrong, unless she was really 11 or 12 when she won the Dolly contest.Whitjones 17:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Kerr's Portman blog did not mention her age during the time of the competition so I took out 13. Number1spygirl 10:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[1] The DailyTelegraph article says she turned 14 in 1997, which implies a 1983 birthdate. Changing birthyear to 1983 based on this. Is the Portman's blog *her* official blog? It reads like a bio written by someone else. Gimmetrow 05:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

In light of this edit, I will assume that her official site (mirandakerr.net) says 1985. I can't verify it since the site doesn't work for me, but if this is the source it should be cited. It seems a bit odd, though, since it would mean she won the Dolly/Impulse contest at age 12 contrary to one published news source. Gimmetrow 18:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : I can guarantee you her birthdate is 1983. Not only does winning the dolly comp at 13 make her 24, Miranda also sent me an invite to her 21st birthday, which happened to be in 2004. Go away and stop acting like you are the editing police and use some common sense. From someone who knows —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.251.144 (talk) 06:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

A Victoria Secret's video revealed she was born in 1983. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.218.20.181 (talk) 10:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

As per her official website, http://www.mirandakerr.net/, she was born on April 20, 1985/ I'm editing the page so it goes with the official information. BlackPearl14Pirate Lord-ess 00:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Reliable sources give another date. Since it seems at least plausible that the other date is right, we've listed both. Gimmetrow 00:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
So I'm to take it that her official website is not the most reliable source? BlackPearl14Pirate Lord-ess 16:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
In this case, it conflicts with other reliable sources about the Dolly competition. Practically, if only one date is listed, well-meaning readers will change it to the other date. Better, in my opinion, to point out the discrepancy; this both informs readers and helps reduce flip-flop edits. Gimmetrow 19:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Miranda says in the interview that she is 25. The interview is only few days old. http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video# —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.39.125 (talk) <1. May 2008>

Verified. She says so in her own voice, so I consider this resolved. Her "official" site is incorrect. Gimmetrow 20:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life

I removed the personal life section all of which was unsourced. Capitalistroadster (talk) 00:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
