A few things with the article. Some things are not in place. --Numberonedad 17:33, 31 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Natalie Glebova went to London Central S.S.?? Are you sure about that? I only say that because I'm the same age as she is; there are very few people in my graduating class I had never met, and well I think I'd remember her...Where is the proof that she went to Central?

None. It's the wrong Miss Universe - from the LCSS Article: Notable alumni include: * Karen Baldwin, Miss Universe, 1982
I'm removing that sentence. Radagast 20:02, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, There is proof that A Natalie Glebova went to London Central S.S. my math teacher taught her, and her yearbook photo looks like her. However. I do not have a yearbook beside me know, where I can take a photo of it.

Natalie Glebova graduated from London Central S.S.

Also Karen baldwin did go to central. So that means our school has the most Miss Universes.

official website edit

Do any one know official website of Ms.Natalie Glebova

Hi, To answer the above question- Natalie Glebova does not have a personal website of her own, however she is represented by the official "Miss Universe Canada Organization." The "beauty" team which organized the national preliminary to Miss Universe, "Beauties of Canada" operates the official website: http://www.beautiesofcanada.com

TV commercial edit

Someone added a statement about a Hong Kong TV commercial for The Beverly Hills which she shot, adding that it was "widely mocked". Whilst I can jolly well imagine the blurry and cheesy advert was mocked and ridiculed, I would dearly love to see some sources to back up this assertion. The two offending words have been removed, pending references. Ohconfucius 06:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


biography edit

Is it possible to get a little more information about how long she lived in Russia and how long she lived in Canada? There are a lot of missing sections to her biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.131.210.82 (talk) 23:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

According to London Central Secondary School year book, both Canadian Miss Universe attended LCSS. Can someone just confirm that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cars o holic (talkcontribs) 21:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Endorsements: Adult link removed edit

The latest edits of Natalie Glebova article edit

Dear Jjj1238 (talk)

In your latest edits to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Glebova you did not follow Wikipedia guidelines regarding editing BLP articles.

I undid your edits for the following reasons:

This article is a collective work of many people. All information was verified and sourced.

You cannot edit biography of living person the way you did.

You removed about 25% of the article.

You incorrectly changed persons names without providing source for your edits.

Official name is Natalie Glebova as in all her documents.

You published it as Natalya Vladimirovna "Natalie" Glebova. There is no need to put duplicate birth name, and why is “Natalie” in quotes?

You published incorrect father name, see correct name here: http://workpermit.com/news/new-miss-universe-hopes-be-role-model-immigrants-20050531

As for English, why are you using present tense in the first sentence? “Vladimir works… Anna is…”

Why did you remove information about the book “Healthy Happy Beautiful”?

Why did you remove Natalie’s daughter name?

Why did you delete the whole chapter “Endorsements”?

Pease do not edit until we reach consensus. Voyad M (talk) 20:16, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Voyad M: Here we go...

"This article is a collective work of many people." Every article is
"All information was verified and sourced." Incorrect
"You cannot edit biography of living person the way you did." Don't even know what this means
"You removed about 25% of the article." Because it was unsourced or not suitable for Wikipedia
"Official name is Natalie Glebova as in all her documents." Her birth name is Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova, which is what I emphasized
"You published incorrect father name, see correct name here" My mistake, it's more often than not safe to assume someone will have the same surname as their father
"As for English, why are you using present tense in the first sentence?" Are they dead? If not it is assumed they still work
"Why did you remove information about the book “Healthy Happy Beautiful”?" I'm not even sure what this is
"Why did you remove Natalie’s daughter name?" Privacy of non-notable minors per WP:Minors and persons judged incompetent
"Why did you delete the whole chapter “Endorsements”?" Because a section on endorsements does not belong on Wikipedia, look at articles like Iris Mittenaere, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Pia Wurtzbach. Their endorsements may be mentioned in other sections if they're relevant, but they should not receive an entire section.

"This article is a collective work of many people." Every article is
This also means that no single person can re-write the whole article to her taste.
"All information was verified and sourced." Incorrect
All information was verified and sourced. Please see the history of edits. It is a job of editor to verify information and provide a source, this applies to your edits as well
"You cannot edit biography of living person the way you did." Don't even know what this means
This means that no single person can re-write the whole article to her taste. Please read guidelines.
"You removed about 25% of the article." Because it was unsourced or not suitable for Wikipedia
How do you know it is unsourced or not suitable for Wikipedia? It is just your opinion. Please mark any unsourced parts, if you unable to verify them independently (which is your responsibility) than other editors will verify those parts
"Official name is Natalie Glebova as in all her documents." Her birth name is Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova, which is what I emphasized
I mention that her birth name is already published on the right box of the page, no need to repeat it.
"As for English, why are you using present tense in the first sentence?" Are they dead? If not it is assumed they still work
Not nice about dead. They worked in those positions back in Russia. After moving to Canada they work as software specialists.
"Why did you remove information about the book “Healthy Happy Beautiful”?" I'm not even sure what this is
The article says that Natalie "is author", you removed information that she wrote and published the book “Healthy Happy Beautiful”. If you are not sure than do not edit or delete, please use this talk page to raise questions or concerns.
"Why did you remove Natalie’s daughter name?" Privacy of non-notable minors per WP:Minors and persons judged incompetent
I agree with you on this one
"Why did you delete the whole chapter “Endorsements”?" Because a section on endorsements does not belong on Wikipedia, look at articles like Iris Mittenaere, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Pia Wurtzbach. Their endorsements may be mentioned in other sections if they're relevant, but they should not receive an entire section.
The chapter “Endorsements” contains important facts about her biography and those facts belong to Wikipedia. You can rename that chapter or move endorsements to other sections but you should not delete facts from BLP.

As requested by Robert_McClenon - Volunteer note - Please take the discussion to the article talk page, Natalie Glebova. While discussion at a user talk page is often useful, the discussion that is required before a case is discussed here should be at the article talk page, which may have other watchers.

Voyad M (talk) 16:23, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Voyad M: I feel like most of these concerns now we can move past but I still have some comments.

1) Well then why were her parents occupations never mentioned if you knew what they were? Only their occupations in Russia but not in Canada where Glebova spent the majority of her life and is considered a national of? If there's a source to back them up then I would say add that to the article.
2) While if her birth name is only included in the infobox I'm fine with that, but "Natalia" is an incorrect transliteration --- the proper way of writing it is "Natalya". The Russian letter "Я" is properly transliterated as "Ya" not "Ia".
3) I honestly remember nothing about the book, if I deleted it then it properly was either in a section that needed to be reworked entirely, was written in improper English and needed to be reworked entirely, or needed a source. That will be readded.
4) Looking through the endorsements section, not everything is notable. If you're the ambassador of a product that is not relevant enough for a Wikipedia article, then it is not relevant enough to be included in Glebova's article. Some instances of this include "Brand Beauty Ambassador for ICC International", "brand ambassador for Better Vision", "brand ambassador for "Caring Hare Expert"". The ones that are notable should be reworked into a "Career" section.
5) A final point is that the article sections need to be reformatted. As I've mentioned before, see an article like Pia Wurtzbach. "Year in the Life as Miss Universe" should not be its own section, but "Miss Universe" can be a subsection of a larger "Pageantry" section.

@Jjj1238: Thank you for bringing good points to this discussion. I will come back with answers to your questions and some references as soon as I get back from work. I will also need to update information on Natalie's 2nd book which was released a few days ago and on replacing dead link for official web site.

Voyad M (talk) 17:26, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Jjj1238: I am back with answers and suggestions.

1) The article is about Natalie Glebova and I thought it was not important to provide too much information about her parents, however you will find reference to their professions at the bottom of this article http://workpermit.com/news/new-miss-universe-hopes-be-role-model-immigrants-20050531 (the same article that references father’s last name). I also found discussion on Wikipedia regarding last name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive_2#iw_for_Natalie_Glebova

2) Yes, it is fine to use correct transliteration for "Natalya" in the infobox.

3) The book is listed just on one line under Endorsements section with this text:

  “In February 2007, Glebova published her first book Healthy Happy Beautiful[15] and it turned out to be a major best seller.[citation needed]”

The text has a link [15] to books.google.com for a printed version in Thai language. The English pdf version is available here https://books.google.com/books?id=Kt8q8cQ00JAC (click on front cover image to read) This part of the text should probably be removed “and it turned out to be a major best seller.[citation needed]” as no one provided a citation.

4) Yes, some less notable products/companies could be removed, namely: "brand ambassador for Better Vision", "brand ambassador for "Caring Hare Expert" and “Party 4 Charity” which is inactive for 6 years. The others should be moved to other sections.

5) It is fine to reformat sections and remove/rename some headers leaving content of the article intact.

Extras: If you wish to list Spouse in the infobox please publish just present spouse name, it is very personal information. Anyway, both spouses names are published in the main article.

Voyad M (talk) 00:51, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I'm happy we could come to a compromise. I'm going to revert back to my original edit as there were still several grammar/English language/formatting fixes in it, and make the appropriate adjustments that we agreed on. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 02:37, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Jjj1238: There is some confusion we need to resolve.

The center piece of the article has this statement:

This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Vladimirovna and the family name is Glebova.”

It is very confusing for readers. What name? Natalie Glebova name? Because Natalie Glebova name is listed just above and below that statement.

In reality, Natalie Glebova is the official name that is printed on all documents and it does not use any patronymic name. Searching the web I did not find references to Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova except Wikipedia and some pageant related sites with the same information copied from Wikipedia and all mention that it is a birth name.

I suggest to move that statement as explanatory note to be part of (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова) or to Early life section.

The alternative would be to rephrase it like this:

"The birth name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the first name is Natalya, the patronymic is Vladimirovna and the family name is Glebova."

Voyad M (talk) 21:51, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Voyad M: This is in place to educate readers that "Vladimirovna" is not her middle name, as many readers on the English Wikipedia are likely unfamiliar with Eastern Slavic naming customs. I would not support its removal, as "Vladimirovna" is not her middle name and should not be presented as such. This is why I added her full name to the lead. Would you be opposed to writing the lead instead as:

Natalie Glebova (born Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova, Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова; 11 November 1981) is a Russian-Canadian etc., etc., etc.

{ [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 18:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Jjj1238: Yes, this is fine. Voyad M (talk) 18:42, 28 November 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Jjj1238: We have misunderstanding.

With your latest update you did not remove the misleading statement: “This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Vladimirovna and the family name is Glebova.”

For readers This name means Natalie Glebova. And here comes a confusion with patronymic Vladimirovna which is actually not used in this name.

Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova, Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова officially changed her name to Natalie Glebova after arriving in Canada 24 years ago.

I know that many articles about titleholders like Dayana Sabrina Mendoza Moncada use explanation of naming customs, but they did not change their name since birth. Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova (13 years old) is not notable person and is not known to public. There is no reason to display patronymic repeatedly 3 times in this article.

To educate readers we should not overload article but provide useful links instead. Once again, many web sites copy information from Wikipedia and publish incorrect birth name as the real official name.

I am moving that statement as a reference to this sentence: Natalie Glebova (born Natalya Vladimirovna”Reference” Glebova, Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова; 11 November 1981) is a Russian-Canadian television host,

I hope you understand and will not oppose. Voyad M (talk) 03:17, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Voyad M: I have a few problems with your edits. If we are including her birth name in the lead, then it must be bolded. Additionally, there is no reason to put the Eastern Slavic naming customs note as a reference. While it'd be more logical to use a note instead of a reference to begin with, no articles actually use the patronymic in the article's title. It will not confuse the reader as "Glebova" is her surname regardless, and they will clearly see that "Vladimirovna" is part of her name as well just by looking down one line. Look at pages like Sergey Lazarev and Anna Kournikova. One note I have is that no sources are needed to verify a patronymic. As I've said previously, it is not a middle name. As long as you have a reference supporting the subject's father's name, then you will know what the patronymic is. All Russian girls born to a father named Vladimir will have the patronymic "Vladimirovna", that is how patronymics work. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 17:14, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Jjj1238:

My latest solution looks reasonable and the "mouse over" function can be enhanced further to allow pointing at any part of the name to display pop-up text.

Or there is another alternative:

Use your Revision as of 03:00, 27 November 2018. Add extra explanation note at the end of paragraph. Like this:

This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Vladimirovna and the family name is Glebova.

Natalie Glebova (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова, born 11 November 1981) is a Russian-Canadian television host, author, dancer, model, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe 2005. Glebova had previously been crowned Miss Universe Canada 2005.

"Natalie Glebova" is the official name on all documents since 1994.

Voyad M (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Voyad M: I think I actually have a solution that can be a compromise. It'd be formatting the lead like this:

Natalie Glebova (born Natalya Vladimirovna Glebova;[a] 11 November 1981) is a Russian-Canadian television host, author, dancer, model, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe 2005. Glebova had previously been crowned Miss Universe Canada 2005. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 21:56, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
