Talk:Camila Alves

Last name, image
Note that per WP:LASTNAME after the first mention of her full name, she should be referred to as "Alves". I have also removed the image link, and tagged the image for deletion, as it is a clear copyvio of http://www.mymuxo.com/Biography.php. – ukexpat (talk) 23:39, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Her proper name is Camila Alves McConaughey can that be fixed? 80.148.22.102 (talk) 08:29, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Date of birth
Her date of birth was listed as January 28, 1982. Maxim magazine was listed as the source. This date of birth would make Alves 30 years old. However, in multiple articles about her wedding on June 9, 2012 (see the article's citations), she is referred to as being 29 years old. I will look for a reliable source for her DOB, but until that can be found, there shouldn't be a DOB listed in the article. Safehaven86 (talk) 16:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Question
I'm not sure if and when it's appropriate to include someone's measurements in an article, but I wanted to point out that the measurements given in the infobox do not match the "Fashion Model Directory" source in this article (which is, as far as I can tell, the only source that has measurements). That source gives her measurements as 5 ft 9 (rather than 5 ft 10), and 34-23-34/dress size 4 (rather than 6/8). However, I'm not sure that Fashion Model Directory is a reliable source. So, should measurements be removed all together, or changed to reflect the citation? Are there more reliable sources out there on this topic? Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 14:18, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Improper last name as article title
The change to McConaughey in the article's title is not correct. Which name is a person's legal surname is not the basis for what is used in the article's title. It is the name by which the person is most famous.The artcle on Heidi Klum is one example where her legal name is only used in the lede. In this case, clearly, this is Alves. It's completely irrelevant that there are sources showing she changed her last name. There would need to be sources proving that she is better know by McConaughey, or if nothing else, that she is using McConaughey as her corporate name. However, on the website selling her handbags she uses Alves. This needs to be changed back. BashBrannigan (talk) 00:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your Heidi Klum and raise you a Victoria Beckham. In any event, such a move is likely to be controversial so please follow the process at RM to open a discussion.--ukexpat (talk) 13:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * First, you more proved my point than yours as she is known far better as Beckham, while Camila is not known by McConaughe; no evidence has been offered to justify the change and still hasn't. Also, I suspect it's not controversial at all. And finally, thanks, but there's no need to caution me about "following process" as what I actually did was to open a discussion.

 * I think consensus should be reached on this issue so we can avoid confusion going forward–I notice that several users have changed internal references of "Camila McConaughey" to "Camila Alves", but the page is still titled Camila McConaughey. Perhaps people with opinions about which ways to go on this issue can lay out their reasoning here, and we can try to reach consensus so that there's not a lot of name-switching in the future. I am not too familiar with article naming protocol, so I'll just leave the floor open. Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 13:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Change to Alves.The title of a article of a person should be the name the person is best known by and not their legal name. In this case, that would be Alves not McConaughey. The only time you'll see her referred to as "McConaughey" is when the press will speak of "Mathhew and Camila McConaughey". IMDB uses Alves and if you look at her most recent work in 2010 each reference refers to her as Alves. Here's a link to the TV show on Bravo where she was host: .

 * I agree with BashBrannigan on the name change. The new pregnancy is generating a lot of headlines, and when a last name is used, the vast majority of the time it's Alves.    Mbinebri   talk &larr; 12:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

agree, looks odd unless subject has expressed a desire only to be known by her married name, if so that should be in article. 72.228.189.184 (talk) 00:02, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have moved the page in keeping with the discussion on this talk page, and on my perception of Wikipedia naming norms. Safehaven86 (talk) 00:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Differentiate from the other Camila Alves?
Should there be a note to differentiate this Camila Alves from the other Camila Alves who isn't in the Wiki. They are both from Brazil and born the same year, so it was very confusing to me before I realized that they were two different people. --StarGeek (talk) 23:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If the other one isn't on Wikipedia then I don't think there is a need. Perhaps the other isn't a notable person. BashBrannigan (talk) 23:50, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
