Talk:Elle Macpherson

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 21:38, 24 March 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the true date of birth of Elle? According to IMdB she was born in 1963 but other sites say she was born in 1964. Jester2001 10:52, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I just set it up to say '63 or '64 for now. Most likely it's '63 and she's just tried to shave a year off her age at some point, but who knows. We'll need a definitive source to resolve it one way or the other. Everyking 08:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't worry about it. If you look hard enough, you'll find an age discrepancy for practically every celebrity. I'd just go with the year imdb gives.--Fallout boy 11:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone changed it to '64, citing elle-macpherson.com, which is not her official website.  I changed it back to "1963 or 1964", adding a footnote to indicate that sources can be found for both dates.  dbtfztalk 08:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Unreferenced (and somewhat nonsense) claim from article

message: Only on WP does an article about a damn MODEL not have a picture. How much irony is that? Thank the Copyright Nazis for that, because I'm sure there have been plenty here over the years. Just ridiculous.
You know, granted that she's a model, I think her physical appearance is pretty relevant. Not that I'd waste my time uploading a picture so the Copyright Nazis can delete it. Instead, I propose that someone write a detailed textual description of her, put it in a box the size of a picture, and put it in the article where a picture would go if this site weren't run by a bunch of paranoid asshole sheep.

replies: text: I don't approve of calling people "paranoid asshole sheep" but I do agree with the substnce of your argument, if not the style.  The trouble is that a small handful of vocal people are trying to turn throw out the fact that this is an encyclopedia in favor of furthering their free content crusage.  They don't want to allow any fair use photos, not even those freely distributed as publicity photos, if there is even a remote possibility of getting a GNU or creative-commons licensed photo.  That is a real shame.  We already have the commons to push for free photographs.  They have forgotten that we are trying to make the most usable, most informative encyclopedia possible.

message: Okay, this is nit-picking a little, but did she really get into law at the University of Sydney? Everywhere I've read it says she was "pre-law", which means nothing really since law is either a combined Bachelors degree, or is done as a post-graduate degree. You can do any degree before doing law as a post-graduate degree, so getting into law is quite different to doing something "pre-law". Example - "Elle gained a place at Sydney University to study pre-law, but left after a year when she was spotted by a modelling scout while on a holiday in Aspen." http://www.okmagazine.com.au/celebrities.html?p=celebrityProfile&celebrityId=90 Yippeedoodah (talk) 06:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 26 August 2012 

message: Elle MacPherson is born on 29 March 1963. Therefore she said that she's 49 on the 28 March! 
Why should she otherwise say that she's 49 the day before her 50th birthday.
The Sun had an article about her on 1 April as well, were she, as a 50 year young beauty queen posed in a bikini.
Please fix!

message: It is not correct that "a clerical mistake in registering at her new school meant that her surname was changed from Gow to Macpherson". Schools record the name they are given. School records are not a formal recognition of legal name. The school could have known her as Elle Gaddhaffi - that does not mean that her name was changed from Gow to Gaddhaffi!Royalcourtier (talk) 00:29, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Andrew Wakefield 

message: Include Andrew Wakefield in list of partners info box between 2017-2019. This information has been added and removed several times by paid editors from her agency  Kruger Cowne. User Karkius11 is likely one of them as their only edits have been adding agency information to celebrities represented by Kruger Cowne and removing this information from MacPhersons page who is also represented by Kruger Cowne.
This information also appears in the section 'personal life' but is missing from her info box. GrandmaPoss (talk) 01:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Several other of her partners are missing from the info box as well, including two to whom she was married. I assume Busson is in the infobox because he's the only one with whom she has children. What do you think, @WWGB? Xan747 (talk) 01:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "Spouse" is a separate field in the infobox where her husbands are listed. "Partner" refers to live-in non-marital guys, not every boyfriend. If she shacked-up with Wakefield then he should be listed. WWGB (talk) 04:17, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
