Talk:Miss Globe International

message: As mentioned in the page, the history of this pageant is quite sketchy. The winners list is also partial. Joey80 08:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Miss globe.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

If the page survived AfD it seems to me that all of the text in the page should not be deleted...I'm going to revert that. --Rebel1916 (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Miss globe.gif

message: In March 2010, the article went to AFD (HERE), however, the new owner of the pageant, Rasim Aydin and its staff continue to edit the article and insert promotional materials and provide a list of people which impacts upon BLP considerations. The content of the article has been challenged many times. It was decided by an Admin to "remove the contentious list of people from the article. None of the people should be replaced in the article until there is a reliable source for them."--Angel Clinton (talk) 23:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  BLP  and COI 

message: The source titled "96-years old Charlie confused the names of pageants in Turkey" (from a Turkish newspaper) is written as sarcasm and not to be used as a reliable source. I invite the editor who used the source to undo their edit without having to apologize once again for "honest mistakes". --E4024 (talk) 23:19, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misuse of sources 

message: "Cumhuriyet" newspaper news has nothing to do with the 1925 affair. That source is about the "first" beauty pageant in Turkey realised in 1929. --E4024 (talk) 23:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another misuse of sources 

message: The source no 8 -as of this moment- is not titled "Women and Culture" (that is the title of an antology of articles) and in that antology Dr Yüksel Göğebakan (see "References" of our article) appears with an academic article titled "WOMEN AS THE MOTHER GODDESS CULT IN ANATOLIA" (whose abstract in English is also provided). This article deals with the paganic concept of "Mother Goddess" in Anatolia and does not mention anywhere the first, second, or any other beauty pageant realised in the Republic of Turkey. No need to say, it does not make any mention of Miss Globe Organisation. That article could be helpful as a source in the articles considering Anatolian goddesses like Kybele. As I supported the deletion of this article I do not remove that source and leave the honour to the editor who has installed it there without justification. --E4024 (talk) 16:59, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yet another misuse of sources 

message: Says "Miss Estonia". No ref. to Miss Globe. Honest mistake? --E4024 (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pic belongs here? 

message: There are many reasons to avoid using the official site as a reference. The most important reason is that it is affiliated to the subject, and cannot be considered reliable. More seriously, though, there are a number of claims it makes, particularly where the history of the pageant is concerned, that simply CANNOT be supported by references elsewhere. Not least of which is the claim that Marilyn Monroe won the pageant in 1947. We are talking a girl who became a worldwide megastar and has had LOTS of research, publicity, dozens of biographies and coverage on her life and career. Absolutely nowhere in any of these sources is it stated that she won such a pageant in 1947, nor is her name linked to "Miss Globe" outside the official website (which cannot even spell her name correctly) or references to the official website. The official site has totally blown any claim to credibility out of the water with such a claim. Even if it hasn't received publicity or coverage, (according to the Albanian Tourist Board) the almost complete absence of sources pre-dating the 1990s is genuinely startling. If even a group of dedicated fans like Pageantopolis cannot find ANY documentation predating 1988 for the contest, this implies that the entire history section of www.missglobeinternational.com is one very elaborate hoax.

replies: text:  I was thinking of www.missglobeinternational.com which was the one mainly used as a reference for this article before (absolutely inappropriately where history was concerned). So there are two "Miss Globe" pageants. Aargh.... Mabalu (talk) 01:52, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
