Talk:Miss America

Separate section for the scandal
Would splitting off the scandal as a separate level-3 header be warranted? My concern is that on the one hand, we shouldn't slant the article towards recent events (WP:DUE, WP:NOTNEWS), but on the other, it may well end up being a very significant event from the organization, and reliable sources have talked about it losing public funding from CRDA, which would be a large setback.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:40, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Not yet. Right now, we've got a good description of the events and its aftermath, and it doesn't overwhelm the History sub-section.  If that changes, we can then talk about whether this event "opened a new chapter" in the organization's history.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I modified historical subheads to create consistency in the article. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:36, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 6 June 2018
Opening line of main body states "Miss America is a beauty pageant" this should be changed to "Miss America is a competition". This is clearly stated publicly and unambiguously by Miss America Chair of the Board Gretchen Carlson on a televised interview for ABC News. The moment this is stated can be seen here in the time frame between 0:22 and 0:26. Gretchen Carlson then goes on to state that "We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance." This is why I suggest removing any reference to the words beauty as well as changing pageant to competition. This is in the same linked video time frame 0:25 to 0:30. Thank you for considering my edit request as it is my first time doing this and I hope I have followed the conventions in use. Zegrze (talk) 20:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Miss . ..
Perhaps something should be said about the relationship or nonrelationship to other titles/competitions: Miss USA, Miss World, Miss Universe. I always thought Miss America was part of the Miss Universe world, but apparently not. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:9C6B:5193:60E8:85E1 (talk) 16:27, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

The Miss America 2025 article
I recently made an article for the Miss America 2025 and related pageant for Wikipedia, but it was stated before this article can be included onto the English Wikipedia it needs to be made neutral, more references will be needed and more information is required along with the facts before this Miss America article is included onto EnWiki with detail involving the contestants and the crowning of the 2025 Miss America.
