Talk:Claudia Schiffer

message: I've done some major refactoring here; I don't think a lot of it belongs in this article, as it has nothing to do with Claudia Schiffer.  (Indeed, the part I removed earlier to the Matthew Vaughn article does not have one word about Schiffer, and is in fact a mini-biography of Vaughn, which is why I put it there). Schiffer is not a blood relative of the Earldom of Oxford, Vaughn is.  It is enough here to explain why she will not inherit the title. - Hephaestos|§ 14:49, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This is still no reason to delete this text. Also the text you've used to replace it with "Matthew Vaughn, an illegitimate son in the line of the Earldom of Oxford and Mortimer." is wrong. Neither he nor his father is in line of succession for this or any other title, as was clearly explained in the previous version of the text. I see absolutely no reason to delete this information.

replies: text: Well, it's not about Claudia Schiffer, as Hephaestos said... Adam Bishop 20:33, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, I'd like to try to reach some compromise on this article rather than getting involved in reversions. Why should this article, for example, link to The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? - Hephaestos|§ 22:57, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? I can't see that it does the article any harm whatsoever. Does it? What I would say is that the article needs more information on Schiffer herself. But that is no reason to delete information on her husband. You said it amounts to a mini-biography. This sounds entirely appropriate, whilst the main article on Vaughn should be a fuller biography. Mintguy (T) 18:21, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? Because she was not in the show, she had nothing to do with the show, she was not even born yet when the show went off the air. Nor do I think people look up a biography on Claudia Schiffer expecting to read about some fellow who died in 1853 from whom she's not even descended. This seems fairly obvious to me. - Hephaestos|§ 20:21, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: She's not descended but her husband is. The media reports about her becoming part of the British peerage were about her and you will find very few places other than Wikipedia which give a clear and consise explanation of why this was twaddle. It's important to explain this clearly. The problem is that there isn't enough information about Schiffer herself on this page. Rectify that rather than delete useful information.

thread_title: Major rewrite

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:13, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: This Wiki claims Claudia Schiffer was the eponymous "Uptown Girl" in the Billy Joel video; it has always been my understanding that it was, in fact, Joel's then-wife Christie Brinkley.
Well --  It's not the Billy Joel video she was in, but a cover.

message: There is currently discussion at Talk:David Copperfield (illusionist)#RfC: The David Copperfield vs Paris Match lawsuit regarding the subject of adding some material to that article regarding the lawsuit he and Schiffer filed against Paris Match. As editors who work on this article are, I think, reasonably interested in the material of that article, I believe anyone so inclined should feel free to take part in the RfC there. Thank you.

message: I have just applied a rewrite to Claudia Schiffer's wikipedia page. I have kept virtually all of the information that stands, unless it is factually incorrect. The reason for my rewrite is to give a better flow to the text, update the information so it is factual and ensure the links are correct / working as the page is so out of date it was in need of some revision. I have amended the modelling and fashion sub heading to solely modelling as this deals with this part of her career. As she is now the creative director of her own label i have included a sub heading and information regarding this as it is import the reader is kept fully up to date with her developing career. As she is no longer an occasional actress I have replaced this with Creative Director to reflect her career status. I have also added a sub heading referring to her charitable commitments. Where possible i have tried to include new links as the majority of the reference pages were no longer found / working. This is extremely annoying and if a reference is cited it should link to something. I have removed references regarding having her ears pieced as this is not true. The reference link to this no longer works and it is inaccurate reporting therefore this should not be stated on the page. Claudia no longer holds a contract with Ebel watches, did not appear in the Fart Party and she never appeared on stage with David Copperfield. I have kept the reference to their relationship but taken out the other information as totally incorrect. I have tidied up the way the page is written as whole. I have done this to offer the reader far more accurate biographical information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJW9 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

message: IMDB lists her as having a role in a 1992 TV movie Inferno, which stars a number of supermodels, apparently as themselves.  IMDB also mentions, on its Inferno page, that there was a 1993 international version, titled Inferno!.  I've looked at the latter very briefly on YouTube, some version with Japanese captioning.  About all I can say is that Schiffer is not listed in the end-credits of that version. 2607:F470:6:2001:956D:7D4F:95E:B27D (talk) 15:44, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
