[edit] True information

Please don't delete the TRUE ancestry information about Alice Panikian. I asked the administrator to ban the user with IP address 130.86.114.99 for making a malicious, UNTRUE and offensive revision. I know that the offender has contributed to articles discussing Armenians and that he lives in California. I would say shame on him!

If you're so keen to include this information, at least edit it so that it creates the correct wikilinks, and do not use shorthand. I've revised it to "three quarters Bulgarian and one quarter Armenian ancestry". Hope this is okay. PageantUpdater 23:08, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. It's fine. Thank you. Aura

[edit] Word usage

words used in this article are quite confusing. "...as one of the strongest successors to then-reigning Miss Universe, Natalie Glebova." well, i know that this refers to her succeeding glebova as miss canada, but the insertion of "then reigning Miss Universe" makes it seem that she has earned that title. also, when it is mentioned that she made it to the final 10 but not a runner-up, such could just be simplified as saying that she made it to the top 10. the mere fact that no other citations were made that she was a runner-up (because if she did placed, it would have been mentioned)--that is, just "top 10"--already encapsulates that idea. anyway, it may take weeks or months before the placements from fifth to 10th could be made public; in such a case, then her specific placement can be included. --Joey80 13:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems to refer to Alice being a favourite to win Miss Universe, as the next sentence is about how no country's won back-to-back. I'm pretty sure Canada has won Miss Canada back-to-back before, so it shouldn't be referring to that title. The reference talks about her being a strong candidate for Miss Universe also. --TheTruthiness 17:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alice's Height

Her offical webpage says 6'0, and the source provided (offical Miss Universe Canada website) says 6'1 on one page but 6' on another. Because the MUC page can't decide between each one, and Alice probably knows her height better than a third party I have removed the 6'1 references. --TheTruthiness 07:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
