I'm confused. The anniversaries page for November 22 says over 100 people died in an attack aimed at Miss World contestants, but the Miss World page says, in a general tone, that over 200 people died. Were there separate incidents that added up? I need some answers. (Note: I only found this page because it's on my birthday) Maui Psyko

Technically, both could be true. For example, if 201 people died, that is over 200 people, but it is also over 100 people.  :) --Cromwellt | Talk 17:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miss World Winners List

It seems that someone has confused the winner of Mrs. World 2005 as Miss World 2005. Miss World will not be crowned until 10th December 2005 in Sanya. Sima Bakhar of Israel was crowned as Mrs. World in January in India. ---- Wexine

OK I had the information from another Wikipedia and my websearch for Sima Bakhar seemed to confirm the information. In this case, please unfreeze and undo. Sorry for the confusion. gidonb 09:42, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2005 Pageant Info

it appears that this article has been bombarded with so much information about the 2005 edition. this is not a bad thing since it might have just been due to the hype by pageant enthusiasts before the event took place. a suggestion is to place this in a separate article (i.e. titled "2005 Miss World") and just hyperlink it here through the text "2005", similar to the olympic games articles in wikipedia. in that way, it can also be a "tradition" in pageant articles here to write about the yearly editions, but not to the point of choking the main article with a specific edition's data and information.

That is an excellent idea. It should also receive a better observable link though, e.g. the full name of the article at the bottom (see also). When there are more of these links, a standard referencing system can be made. gidonb 12:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2005 Pageant Info Update

I moved the 55th Miss World Pageant information to a new article, click on the "2005" link in the winners' table.

[edit] Miss World 1993 Merge

Article Miss World 1993 should be merged into this article. 68.123.102.87 14:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I just linked the page to the "1993" text in the table of titleholders. Anyway, I thought I read this same article before from some webpage, in verbatim. So I think this is plagiarism... any reactions?Joey80 09:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

can we unmerged the 1993 page so we start an article about Miss World 1993?Wexine

[edit] Bob Hope's fate?

What happened to Bob Hope? The article states that he was "temporarily scared by a flour bomb"... Should this be scarred? Or was he really just temporarily scared?

[edit] Miss World year-by-year information

Hi, my name is Lex, I just started a Miss World year-by-year data. Please feel free to contribute and lets make a comprehensive data about the most prestigious and longest running global pageant.

Thanks

[edit] Remove re-direct for Miss World 2003

I'm quite new to this, can anyone remove the redirect for Miss World 2003 so a new article can be created. Thanks Wexine

[edit] Miss World Crown

Does anyone have any information regarding the composition of the Miss World crown? I think it will be best if we devote a section about the crown.
