Talk:Alice Burdeu

message: At the end of the day, 6'1" is her actual height which has been well documented, and 5'11"/5'10.5" is what the agencies would have you believe.  I say go with the actual height.  If we were to go by all agency's stated heights for models, that would make Kate Moss 5'8" and Alice 5'10.5" - a difference of 2.5 inches, when in reality, 7 inches separates the two, as Kate Moss is no more than 5'6".    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.154.158.238 (talk) 15:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been a minor issue recently.  I cited Priscillas Model Management, who describe Burdeu as 5 ft 10.5 in, or 179 cm, but then an IP editor cited a YouTube clip of Australia's Next Top Model, which claims she is 6 ft 1 in, or 181 cm.  However, 6 ft 1 in does not convert to 181 cm (it is 185 cm).  As a compromise, especially since she is an Australian person on an Australian television program (using the ANTM source), and Australia uses the metric system of measurement, I've used the metric 181 cm from the source, which converts to 5 ft 11½ in.  In any case, the difference is very minor – 2 or 4 cm – and a the height of a person can vary depending many factors, including the time of day when they are measured.  No one is being "LIED to".  <B>S<SPAN STYLE="font-size:87%">EO75</SPAN></B> [talk] 23:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

text: The cited reference is a clip of the show where she is measured as 181cm.  I've watched it (the clip and the show), and cited it, and references is what Wikipedia needs.  <B>S<SPAN STYLE="font-size:87%">EO75</SPAN></B> [talk] 01:05, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Height 

message: I changed it back to 6'1".  This is what was claimed during the show and believe it or not, in metric Australia we still commonly refer to our heights in feet and inches.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.109.217 (talk) 14:20, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

message: She is 6'1" (185cm) - if you go to episode 2 of Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 3, she is measured barefoot at 185cm.  It's typical for model agencies to drop a female model an inch or two in height if they are that tall.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.232.130 (talk) 22:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
