[edit] POLA: OMG, she's not a supermodel!

I find it astounding that she's everything in the showbiz world except what she's really famous for.... Renaissongsman 12:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] West German

Should wiki put her born in west german. Its gone but profiles like for Russia ballers have there Place of birth in USSR and not russia?



fornicuous?

see discussion on my and Klum's talkpages. Before it was "fornicuous", it was "adulterous". The entry has been reverted multiple times by different users, but I am not interested in an edit war. IMHO the word is not appropiate. Maybe the discussion should be continued here. --Chrysalis 21:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Could someone add a picture back in that's cited. If any article deserves a picture it's this one! User:Andman8

Maybe I'd consider to add some informations bout Heidi Klum's new German TV show Germany's next Topmodel.--Martin L. King 19:52, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I notice all of the images that were here have been removed in one edit. Much as I agree that there were too many images, just one of a model is - pointless! So I have added one back - OK, yes, my favourite of the three removed. The article is not long enough at present to really show any more well. Rgds, - Trident13 11:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

This article needs way more pictures.


How about the image on the Evander Holyfield page for starters? - Ecksem Diem 17:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salary

Salary stated as 7 million. Would that be rubles, rupees, or riyals? Then again, it could be euros, after all, she is German. Arcturus 21:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Why couldn't it be dollars?

Who was the muppet who made the rude statement about Heidi the other day, which has since been removed from her wikipedia page and rightfully so. Noone deserves to have some random statement, be it true or not, on their bio page like that. JimB

Remove the Ku Klux Klan comment, it is true

[edit] Beauty?

"Klum is known for being the most beautiful woman of all time according to one beauty specialist, Louis Ahearne, and her husband Seal."

That seems like a pretty opinionated statement to me. Are we really going to say someone's husband thinks they're the most beautiful woman in the world? Maybe if Time Magazine had a big contest or something, but I don't think we need that comment there. "Louis Ahearne" appears to be a nobody as well since that name doesn't appear in any Google searches except for this page. Who cares what he thinks? Sbrobin 14:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Measurements

http://www.poster.net/klum-heidi/klum-heidi-photo-heidi-klum-6227243.jpg

It's clear after or even before her two kids that Klum is nowhere near a24 inch waist, 29 or 30 inches is closer to reality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Catherine Huebscher (talk • contribs) 18:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC).

If you have a reference for your version of her measurements, that's great! Otherwise please stop changing it due to your own body image issues. --Hopex 18:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

There's your reference! Oh please! No body issues with me because i have a hip to waist ratio unlike Hed/Elite. wikipedia is about reality not marketing--this is a thick waist and we should not be misleading the public and young girls about these fake stats.

HERE IS A 24 INCH WAIST --please face the truth:

Ok first off, looking through some of your contributions it's clear that you have some kind of vested interest in this topic, so I genuinely hope you can work through the issues you have. If there's someone you can talk to, that's always a good start.
Next, I'm not all that fussed about the policies, but since you seem to be concerned with what "wikipedia is about" and "the truth", you should check WP:V, which I think you've been shown before. (In fact there's a link to that page under the Edit window.)
You first changed it to 29"/65cm, you then claimed it was 29" or 30". You then changed it to 29"/66cm, and then finally to 28"/71cm. The final figures being the only ones that are actually congruent. The point being that you simply cannot guess the measurement; just one person alone has come up with at least three different numbers!
Like I said before, if you can find reference that gives her recent measurement being different to the 24" that all the sites state, then great. Otherwise, revert your edit. --Hopex 17:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Of course i have a vested interest in not falsifying these models stats because it creates an unrealistic precedent that is based on lies, That's enough without my own personal preference. If she had a club foot and her modeling agency said she did not would we still have to go with a ridiculously biased source? Why? I want a dispute about her post baby measurements added to this article if you end up going with the bogus model agency 'numbers.'Catherine Huebscher (talk • contribs) 3:06, % May 2007 (UTC).

Just to note, the first two pictures Catherine Huebscher posted were taken at the Victoria's Secret fashion show something like 9 days after she gave birth to her second child. 70.53.1.20 01:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BMI of 17.7??!

If she is 5'9 and 120 she is pretty badly underweight and has a BMI of 17.7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.97.171.219 (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Place of birth

WHY does it say she was born in Australia in the article and then in the infobox that she was born in a certain town in Germany? Embarrassing! Sort it out, please. Moncrief (talk) 16:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
