[edit] Addition of delegates to this list

When wikilinking to a delegate on this list, please remember to add the delegate to Category:Miss Universe 2006 delegates. -- PageantUpdater 05:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Predictions

I have removed the "predicted list of winners" per WP:Not a crystal ball. This should not be here, I think, unless it is cited from a reputable predictor.--Brian G 19:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top 20 - Source?

I believe the note about there being a top twenty should not be included until there is a more reliable source than Global Beauties to verify it. Opinions? -- PageantUpdatertalk | contribs | esperanza 21:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Since when is Cyprus situated in Asia and Bahamas in Europe????

[edit] List of Delegates

I have two questions... first, should this even include a list of delegates (see Miss Universe 2005 and Miss Universe 2004, which did not include a list of delegates)... and second, if the list is retained, should it be separated into continents or be listed alphabetically? I would prefer alphabetically, because with the three-column formatting the headings are difficult to view and this list practically requires you to use "find" to find the delegate you want. -- PageantUpdatertalk | contribs | esperanza 04:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that having a list of delegates is good, but I liked it much better when it was alphabetical instead of grouped by continents. --Brian G 17:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I prefer the alphabetical listing. Or more exactly, how about putting these information in a table (i.e. column for country, name, age, height, placing at Ms. Universe), in that way, it will be easier to navigate instead of the current arrangement. In terms of relevance, people (esp those who are ignorant of pageants) may not find this useful. And there are also lists of delegates per edition made available in the Internet. Then again, this article's list may be more informative as it provides age and height of the delegates. Together with some other information (trivia, results, etc.), this article may actually be useful, as leading pageant websites remove such feature pages whenever a new edition is about to take place. --Joey80 13:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Well I returned it to alphabetical last night and took out the "excess" names -- I guess this is useful in that it provides wikilinks to delegates who did not place, but it definitely needed to go back to straight alphabetising. -- PageantUpdatertalk | contribs | esperanza 21:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] useful

Hey, this is quite a useful piece on the pageant. i have saved it in my local m/c lest some one remove the details )people have questioned there relevance.--Hydman 08:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] controversy removed?

why was the controversy portion removed? Live! 05:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

If you can rewrite it so that it has an encyclopaedic tone and is backed by reliable source evidence you are welcome to include it. In the form that it was in it was not suitable (I was not the one who deleted it but I agree with that decision). -- PageantUpdatertalk | contribs | esperanza 05:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I think this deserves to be mentioned, but we do need facts. At least a translation of what exactly the translator said to Miss Japan. I'll see if I can get my hands on one. Elmer92413 06:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
