Talk:Meredith Vieira

message: Someone needs to change the image used for her. If it wasn't put up to purposely make her look gross/weird, it was unintentionally a terrible choice of image, something extremely unflattering and a poor representation of what she usually looks like. I would change it but I'm not experienced with adding images to Wikipedia or knowing what images can be used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerpawraw (talk • contribs) 02:18, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Should Meredith Vieira's bias have it's own section? There are several reporters and commentators who have their own section releted to bias such as Bill O'reilly and Keith Oberlmann. With some of her statements and actions over the past few years showing her bias should she have a more developed section explaining this? I won't change anything untill I get some feed back.

message: I'm not sure that NewsMax is a credible source for Meredith Vieira's point of view regarding President Bush or other political issues. Does anyone have other sources from NPOV about her political leanings11:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

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 22:19, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: The trivia section as presently claims Vieira is allergic to metal and "never wears jewlery" (sic).  Yet, the photo in the article shows her wearing an earring.  Any credible source for the allergy claim?  --Onyourside 19:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I've never heard of anyone being allergic to all metals. Think about it. Crunch 00:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I searched the web and found no source for the quote that she's allergic to metal, except for a) copies of the Wikipedia article, and b) an un-attributed statement in the trivia section of her IMDB bio. In a Google image search on her name, I found multiple photos with her wearing jewelry, including this photo of her wearing a ring. So I've removed the statement from the article about never wearing jewelry (demonstrably false) and being allergic to metal (no credible source). --Zippy 04:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Update - found a cite . It doesn't say she's allergic to metal, just that wearing a ring gives her a skin reaction (this doesn't necessarily mean she's allergic to it). --Zippy 04:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I don;t care about any section exploring any sort of bias in objective reporting, but what's with this language of "NewsMax accuses someone of being a liberal because of X and Y".  Very off-putting, I think, someone being "accused" by an organization because of their beliefs.  In any case, it's my impression that the View was a show where the women can editorialize on different issues, not a news reporting show.
:I actually agree, but the NewsMax reference was reinserted a few times as fact rather than opinion. I thought that this was a rather acceptable compromise, but have no problem with the reference being taken out. Danielross40 17:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why do we have the wedding ring, underwear and panty hose items here? Is this encyclopedic? Do we also have boxers or briefs for Matt Lauer?  Just because something can be sourced, does not make it notable, even in a trivia section. Tvoz | talk 18:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

:WP:RPP is where to make such a request, but the problem doesn't seem sufficiently severe at this time. Of the two IP vandals from today, one has been warned. Is the "pet" info false? If so, the other IP vandal should get a  warning as well. / edg ☺ ★ 12:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I found 2 YouTube videos that show Meredith's appearence on Millionaire! Here are the 2 URLs.
I'd rather have you put the 2 links into the article than myself because everytime I put in an internet source (and it's NOT spam), it gets reverted automaticaly!--70.240.215.204 (talk) 21:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because there's a faction of editors on Wikipedia who don't want any You Tube videos ever posted because they may not be  stable and may not be reliable, and could be copyright violations.  I personally think they should be evaluated individually, because you can't make a blanket statement about You Tube as if it's all one thing or another.   BUt that discussion is for somewhere else.  I suspect the ones you're mentioning would be pulled for copyright - and after all, do they really add anything? Thanks for posting here on talk, though, instead of edit warring - that's appreciated.  Tvoz/talk 21:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Even without the YouTube videos, the Millionaire (US) article does mention Meredith's appearance and that her $250,000 earnings were donated to a 9/11 fund. I just added the link for verification purposes. Glenn L (talk) 05:52, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
