Bosley might have been on radio for a time, but her position of fame was as a news anchor on a television station. -- SwissCelt 16:29, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Actually wasnt her position of fame dancing nude in the Keys?64.131.13.28 06:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be some mention of just how bad her implants looked? Breast augmentation opponents are using those pictures to convince women to leave well enough alone.

I think those new picts solve the previous problem! 64.131.30.19 08:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Pictures

Do we really need five images (including some animations) of her nude in the video? One should suffice. R.E. Freak 07:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

There is absolutely no way these images are encyclopedic. I've deleted them. Shimgray | talk | 20:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

why not? is totally appropriate in the context, and documents the events in mention Mathmo 09:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

How is her account different from the pictures?

• For one, she incorrectly states when she removed her panties. She says it was when the other girl again stripped. It can be proven by the pictures, that she was the first to remove her panties in the final round. She also says it was only her and the other girl left when she stripped. actually another girl was also on stage. further, she states to have never seen a camera. in one picture, she is posing for it looking directly at it.--64.131.30.48 06:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

see, as I mentioned above the suitable of pictures here is blatantly clear. of even you might go so far as to see needed in the article. Mathmo 09:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing the point entirely

I wish to protest the current iteration of this article.

Had Catherine Bosley not participated in the infamous wet t-shirt competition (with the ensuing media frenzy) she would not have received the necessary attention to become a nationally-recognized figure on the internet.

Personally, I had no problem with this article as it existed two weeks ago.

In summary, no one will go to the trouble of referencing Bosley on Wikipedia unless they desire details of the contest and its impact on her career.

I believe the older revision (supposedly "obscene" images and all) should be restored.

• The problem with that is that well, the images were deleted as well. A revert wouldnt help.

[edit] Re-addition of pictures

I reiterate above that these pictures are simply not ever going to be encyclopedic. There is absolutely no reason to include them beyond titillation value; they're inappropriate, they're unfree, and adding them back in because of some presumed "consensus" is little more than wilful vandalism. Please have more common sense in future. Shimgray | talk | 09:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• They prove that her account was untrue.

• • Wikipedia is not in the business of proving or disproving accounts; please see Wikipedia:No original research. We should not be attempting to interpret primary source materials to debate the accuracy of reports; if they "prove" this to be the case, find a reliable source which says this and quote it, don't use the source material to try and show it yourself. Shimgray | talk | 20:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

if you really have such a major difficulty with the word "proof", then it can be left out of the article. instead the pictures can be sure along with her statements and anybody with even half a brain cell can make up their own mind about what is obvious. Mathmo 10:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:BLP violations

This article was reported on the BLP noticeboard. This article cited no sources. User:Gamaliel did a good job of removing the violating material. It should not be re-added without solid reliable secondary sourcing. As to the discussion of the images that were at one time in the article, if the images are not either "Public Domain" or GNU free licensed, then they may not be used on Wikipedia. The comments of Shimgray above regarding original research are entirely accurate. - Crockspot 17:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Neither her accounts nor others' accounts of controversial matters should be accepted at face value. Whether people are being malicious or self serving or misreporting because they were drunk or medicated at the time; our job is simply to report what relevant others have verifiably said and not draw conclusions ourselves. It is a fact that she claims people have said her boob job was poor; that she claims she had heart surgery, lung surgery and boob surgery that left her badly scarred; and that she won the contest (so how bad could she have looked? I saw the photos and couldn't make out any scars.) The way she tells her own story leaves a completely different impression than viewing the dozen web photos I saw. She says she is writing a book and looking for a job on her site. WAS 4.250 18:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
