Iraq

TALAT MODEL MANAGEMENT As the organizer and owner of Miss Iraq, I would like to state that our titleholder will NOT compete in Miss Universe this year, we do have an agreement that Miss Universe will contact us once they are ready to accept us back in the future, until then we will not compete in Miss Universe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.224.12.91 (talk) 07:45, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Australia

How is Australia withdrawn from Miss Universe 2012?? Applications are currently opened for the pageant. Please get your sources right and it is a bit too early to do this page. Manhpham (talk) 08:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because this article is harmless, besides why delete this if there are other articles that should be deleted where contest events will take place decades from now.--112.210.221.161 (talk) 10:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Date for Miss Angola Contest

This is the link giving information about the date of Miss Angola Contest. Source: Angola Press.The articles is in Spanish.

Please do not add Bahamas as venue

I did a few searches, it appears that such news on Bahamas was just a plagiarized version of the announcement of Miss Universe 2009 venue. Please do not add the venue until MUO organization announces it.

If you compare the official announcement from 2009: THE BAHAMAS TO HOST THE 2009 MISS UNIVERSE® PAGEANT AUGUST 23rd

and the news that Bahamas will host the 2012 edition: The Bahamas to host 2012 Miss Universe Pageant on August 27th

its pretty obvious that the latter was almost 100% copied from the former and the date was just changed a bit. The fact that only Bahamas' media reported it makes it even more suspicious. GrayFullbuster (talk) 10:43, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Here's another suspicious clue: Some sort of press release from the MUO to Atlantis Resort, with a December 16 date

Very suspicious indeed--Cheetah255 (talk) 06:02, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Based on the comments of this blog entry "Miss Universe 2012 in the Bahamas again?", it really appears that it is a hoax, especially now that it is pretty easy to 'photoshop' stuff on the internet. Also a good point for requiring reliable sources like established news companies, and not accepting blogs and forums as sources. GrayFullbuster (talk) 06:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Host country announcement

Looks like another rumor...big thanks for the removed date and the semi-protection...no IPs to mess this up --Cheetah255 (talk) 20:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

• Indonesia is likely a hoax as well, I found that there is a template in the MUO that can be used to make hoax announcements. GrayFullbuster (talk) 14:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Norway

I thought Norway's representative will be selected at Førken Norge 2012???--Cheetah255 (talk) 01:44, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Gabon and Equatorial Guinea are fixed for Miss Universe 2012

Hey! please be consequence about Miss Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, they are fixed to compete at Miss Universe. Why it always removed on Miss Universe 2012 Wikipedia English version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.79.59.2 (talk) 12:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC) I AGREE WITH YOU. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.57.16.135 (talk) 17:28, 12 February 2012 (UTC) I agree with you also! I think the problem is that they are not Latina countries. The Miss Universe Org. main page states that Gabon will be participating. Please stop being racist and bias and add them back! 71.12.77.180 (talk) 04:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

STOP adding that Miss Philippines has won.

I would like to kindly ask people to stop changing the winner, best national costume winners as Miss Philippines as the contest has not been completed and it shows signs of immaturity.

Statistics like height etc.

Personally, I think we should remove the height part and list down the names of the candidates. It just creates confusion as conflicting sources give different information regarding the candidates' height. GrayFullbuster (talk) 06:53, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Bodine Koehler did not represent San Juan, Puerto Rico. She represented Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

There is a mistake in her data, she did not represent San Juan, she represented Rio Grande.

Here are some pictures with her sash !!!!

Still no venue?

This is getting weird, usually they announce the venue for Miss Universe at the end of the telecast of Miss USA. Hopefully, they'll announce it soon. GrayFullbuster (talk) 03:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Really, Giuliana Rancic said "See you at Miss Universe in December". I just hope they will announce it by the end of the summer.--Cheetah255 (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

From Global Beauties' Twitter page: "According to Miss Universe organizers, an official announcement about the 2012 host city should by made by the end of July"...That is going to cause a bunch of speculatiive edits--Cheetah255 (talk) 19:50, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Edit request from June 14, 2012

PLEASE remove Xbox Live from the broadcasters list....Obvious hoax, The guy who posted it thinks that because NBC "owns" the organization, the pageants can be streamed on there...It's really Mr. Donald Trump that owns the MUO and I dont really see anything about Xbox Live's "involvement"..thanks--71.58.55.146 (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Dominican Republic IS NOT YET CONFIRMED as host

Please see Washington Post, it only states they MAY be the host but it is not yet confirmed. And Washington Post is definitely more reliable than Global Beauties, so please stop adding the venue w/o official confirmation from MUO. GrayFullbuster (talk) 05:34, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Global Beauties announced today that "The Dominican Republic to Host Miss Universe 2012" via a "secure source"...im waitng until MUO confirms this, until then..nobody post DR as venue.Cheetah255 (talk) 01:32, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Global Beauties has never been an acceptable source for Wikipedia, unless there is a REAL Reliable source like Washington Post then it shouldn't be added. GrayFullbuster (talk) 12:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Titles of the Contestants

It will be interesting to add the titles of the candidates, but that is just an advide. I dont know, just an opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.252.43.117 (talk) 16:29, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

• it's too much, so impossible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.62.97 (talk) 13:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
• It is possible. You can change the link on the name of the country on the title to the pageant article itself (for example this: Philippines). However, not all countries have their national pageant's articles, so that would be rather difficult. GrayFullbuster (talk) 14:15, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

NO CLEAR REFERENCES

Well. I'm editing the spanish version of the article and I have counting 52 contestants, and in english version are 56.

I beleive it's important check the references for the representatives of Serbia, Kazakhstan and Lithuania (there is not an official confirmation about her participation -hoaxs maybe?-) and France (maybe she doesn't take part of the competition). I'm pretty sure the exciting of some fans is the reason this information still be here.

I will working for put this delegates in an appart list, like we work at the spanish article. --Alex Duilius (talk) 18:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Miss Universe speculation???

Why every time i check this article i see speculation, mostly from IPs: An MUO "lockout"?, Sun Life Stadium as venue?? Xbox Live???...EVERY TIME!!!!! 2013's page is same, because editors from the New York-New Jersey area keep putting MetLife Stadium as 2013's venue...This needs to be locked until the actual pageant has been held. Cheetah255 (talk) 06:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Date

An IP posted a December 11 date which is not official...do not post dates until officially confirmed by MUO or NBC...same with the New York City venue as it was a false rumor Cheetah255 (talk) 02:04, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
