No back-up to support any of the 'potential' host cities. They all sound like somebody made them up. As for the Barbados piece, it can not even be considered speculative. A lot of the information on this page is way above and beyond the thoughts of an optimistic Miss Universe fan.

For your information....don't delete some countries that are deleted in Global Beauties because these are just only a few speculations....we will wait until the Miss Universe Organization has made the final decision in selecting a number of countries who will compete in the Miss Universe contest this year seriously....

I removed Ireland contestant. There are no source for this unconfirmed delegate.

The article says: "All information is unconfirmed until the delegates arrive to the host city" I'm going to add her again. 2004 Miss Ireland, Mary Gormley was Miss Northern Ireland 2004 1st Runner-Up. 2005 Miss Ireland was Miss Northern Ireland 2005 1st Runner-Up. Jenny Curran is Miss Northern Ireland 2006 1st Runner Up.

Sorry, but this above logic is wrong. Mary Gormly was bestowed the title "Miss Universe Ireland 2005" but so happened to also be crowned as Miss Northern Ireland 2005. This contest is a separate entity from the Miss Universe system and the women who compete in this contest only compete in the Miss World system. In 2006 the Miss Universe contestant from Ireland (Melanie Boreham) was NOT a runner-up for the Miss N. Ireland contest because a separate licensee in Northern Ireland holds the right to choose the Irish representative for Miss Universe, and that person is yet to be chosen for next year.


Wich are your sources for the info?

It's because I don't know in what site I can see the official list of nations.

Thanks

Why is someone keeping Panama's selection information out? It is confirmed that Diana Patricia Broce outright WON Senorita Panama. Do I need to upload a pic to show proof that she won the title?! It's getting ridiculous. SHE WON MISS PANAMA! Enough with the deleting on this one, okay! Source and confirmation of her win/crowning pic is also there: http://www.laprensahn.com/vivir_nota.php?id04962=4792&t=1173589200 (Spanish)

[edit] is it the real date?

[edit] Rachel Smith

Miss Teen USA is not an international event. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alex Duilius (talk • contribs) 07:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] RBD

The website of the group is wrong. RBD will be sing on the Presentation Show, not the final night. 'Alex Duilius'

[edit] Candiates and Trivia

Where is the "Miss Universe 2007 Offical Participating List"? It is no where to be found on the offical site. Also why are the nations of Lithuania and St. Kitts & Nevis excluded from the candiates? Please give an explanation here.

[edit] Remember this is an encyclopedia

I just want to remind editors that this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and as such there are certain style and tone requirements. Check out Wikipedia's Manual of Style for more information. I appreciate that some of this stuff is difficult to reference because of the language barrier, and that language issues make writing in an encyclopedic tone difficult for some editors. If anyone has any queries bring it up on the talk page, rather than in the article itself. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 22:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] miss germany

From where you have obtain the name of Miss Germany?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 189.140.166.229 (talk) 22:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Hosts

Someone posted the press release on one of the forums... I can't find it anywhere else but I think it's certain enough to be posted now. Hopefully it will hit the news soon. PageantUpdater User Talk Review me! 06:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mario Lopez

The private life of the host of the pageant, or his former wife was or not a winner of Miss USA is irrelevant and out of the propouse of this article. Please, write an article of Mario Lopez or a fan site about him.

[edit] Mario Lopez

I included the comment about Mario Lopez being briefly married to Ali Landry because it is yet another connection to the Miss Universe Organization... I don't think any previous host has ever been married (even briefly) to a former Miss Universe Organization titleholder. At to that the fact that he hosted the pageant that his co-host Vanessa Minnillo won, and I think it is worthy of inclusion. However, the anonymous editor appears to disagree. Would anyone else like to comment? PageantUpdater User Talk Review me! 10:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mario Lopez

I think, this is an article about Miss Universe 2007, not about connections of Mario Lopez with the Miss Universe Organization. One thing is the work, and the fact he was a host of another pageants, but the marriage with Landry, is something out of the subject of this article.

So?

[edit] Music used / trivia section

Would seem to me that this would make a decent addition as trivia / general reference for music freaks like myself. (I ask for personal interest, as well - I cannot think of the name of the song that was playing during the evening gowns, so if anyone knows, I'd be interested.) Exigence 02:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Miss America "Booed" by Mexican Audience

I noticed the audience at large was booing Rachel Smith -- Miss USA representative -- particularly when she was chosen as amongst the top 5 finalists and the "final question" round. Should this "fact" be included in the article or not??? Will it pose a significant potential information and help build the article???

I noticed this too and I think it is a dramatic representation of how the global community feels about America currently. I don't think they had a personal problem with her, they had a problem with the country she represented, and it was an unprecedented moment that should be mentioned. 141.158.39.73 04:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
It needs to be included, in the context of 1993 as well. I'll try and dig up some sources. PageantUpdater User Talk Review me! 04:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why do most of the contestants get their own articles?

IMO only the top 5-10 finishers should have them; the rest are trivia and should be merged into the main 2007 pageant article. They're not notable enough for Wikipedia. 69.181.82.17 08:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sint Maarten? Really?

This article has a link to the Dutch side of Saint Martin, Sint Maarten. I don't think that's right, but have no idea how to confirm or deny. Kww 19:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
