181:...How does listing the awards prove your point? The only award given at Miss USA is Miss USA. The point is that both have split-offs to lists of winners, not just plastered on the main article. The article about the award should be dedicated to the history and background of the award, and possibly the presentation ceremony (if it isn't notable enough for it's own articles). Award winner lists are split-off articles as any award more than a few years old has too much content to be included in the actual article. 31: 495:. I also noticed that for the "Miss Universe pageant" the word pageant is not capitalized in these press releases. To me this indicates that the capitalization is intentional - and it is "Pageant" with a capital "P" for Miss USA and "pageant" with a lowercase "p" for Miss Universe. I didn't want to bother changing the "p"s to "P"s if there was a reason for it - or if someone was just going to change it back. 164:. If some was put in, and list list moved out the way, I might not mind. I do think there's a distinction between a title (where people expect to find the holder of a title) and an award show. If you win an Emmy, you are not known as "Emmy". If you win "Miss USA", you are known as "Miss USA" (sometimes more so than your real name). Incendently, your example of 724:
information taking up a majority of the article, and if anything should to be sectioned off in to a new article, it would be that, since it's more network related than pageant related. Also, I think the Miss America article's style should be emulated. That article fixed the problem of the ugliness of

I've included a section on Reality TV... its not exactly brilliant formatting/prose so please improve it if you can! The whole topic of beauty queens in reality tv practically deserves its own article, but I couldn't think of a suitable title and how to avoid making it sound like OR, so I've included

Yes, I know that. You didn't get my point. I think your failing to appreciate the sigficance of what the term "Miss USA" actually refers to. An "Emmy Award" obviously refers to the awards (which the article lists), and not to the winners of the award. "Miss USA" refers to the actual winners, who

It's better and would be my choice if we decided to merge the info back in, but I still think it looks odd. The beauty of the net (and especially Knowledge (XXG)) is how easy it is to link materials together, and there is a reason Awards have seperate lists for winners, TV shows have seperate lists
270:
Fixed that. I think it had to do with the merge tag being placed below the three images (so it wasn't placing correctly). As for the article, Knowledge (XXG) is a democracy, so however the cookie crumbles is how it crumbles, but if the article is purely about the winners then why is there any other

discussion of same-sex marriage within the article that I'm seeing. As such, there's zero connection, right? I'd heard that a contestant was recently given a loaded question about the topic (which, obviously, only had one valid answer that they would've accepted), but that isn't mentioned here. If

Organizations often capitalize more than is required in their official releases, but that does not obligate the news outlets to follow that same capitalization. From what I can fine the P in pageant is only consistently capitalized in the press releases when it follows Miss USAĀ® with the Ā® symbol
318:
I agree the merge tag should be left here for longer, to let others have an input. It would probably be good to try to get a consensus for all similiar articles (all the "Miss Something" articles). Also, I have to concede the article wasn't in a great state before either, so while I want a merge
584:
Actually, it's mentioned in the 2009 entry. What I personally can't find anywhere, though, are the rules for the pageant itself. Rules for entry are easily found. But even the Miss USA site doesn't seem to list the rules for how the pageant is conducted, scored, etc. These would be a useful
812:
I wouldn't consider this to be a "massive edit", but I'd like to point out that Shandi Finnessey has never held the Miss Australia title, 2002 or any other year. She was Miss Missouri that year and went on to compete in Miss America. So either change it to that or get rid of this reference
632:
Why the use of "ā†" to indicate a Ms Universe victory? Why not an asterisk or even a superscripted letter? The problem with the "ā†" is that I thought it is a dash. So Texas' win of "1995 ā† 2001" meant that it won from 1995 to 2001, especially since the arrowhead is quite small.
742:) 22:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)) In the section regarding Miss USA winner who competed at Miss America you incorrectly state all we unplacved when they competed at Miss America. Actually, Miriam Stevenson, Miss USA 1954, placed in the top 10 at the Miss America Pageant. ( 662:
To re-voice my opinion, I think raw data tables like delegates, state pageants, directors, winners, etc, should be split-off (or put in nav templates, as with 2006 Delegates or State Pageants) as opposed to sitting in the main article where they disturb the pretty prose.
482:
I was wondering why the Miss USA article refers to the competition as the "Miss USA pageant" and not the "Miss USA Pageant." On the Miss USA website and in the organization's official press releases, the word "pageant" is capitalized when it follows "Miss USA." See

each become "Miss USA". The winner of Miss USA doesn't "receive a Miss USA", she "becomes Miss USA". This article is about people who became Miss USA. Nobody became an Emmy, or an Oscar, so those aren't relevant examples (in the way your tried to use them). --

I'm not exactly enamoured with the edit done to the pageant locations. Fine, perhaps, to only link to the first instance, but I think the place and state should be linked together (i.e. not a separate link to the state) rather than separately. Comments?

821:) 07:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC) In the section on ormer Miss USAs who competed at Miss America you incorrectly state that none placed. Miriam Stevenson, Miss SC, WAS in the top ten the year she competed at Miss America (1954). ( 117:, I think that was a mistake. The winners are the heart of the article. Generally, one spins off semi-off-topic lists. We now have the odd scenerio, where we tell people the names of contests appearing on Fear Factor and 121:, but don't mention title holders. People typing in "Miss USA" expect to find the Miss USA's. I'm not going to reverse this myself at this time, but would support reversing it. It's important to note 700:

That's why I said it's a democracy, so currently the majority is for it. However, generally merge discussions are left up for more than a day before reaching a decision.
