Talk:Rie Rasmussen

Anyone know?
Does anyone know how old she really is? In the german and french wikipedia the birth year is 1976, in japanese and english wikipedia she was born in the year 1978. Google did came up with 37,100 hits for 1976 and 37,000 hits for the year 1978. In IMDB the birthdate is given with the year 1976 - as opposed to the biography which gives the year 1978.

Does anyone have more information with sources? --Sumirati 13:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Why are there two different dates of birth listed in the same article? (1978 and 1981) 2001:BB6:3A34:BF00:993A:7EB0:97CF:E465 (talk) 05:58, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Rie is 31 years old. She is born the 14th of February 1978. And that is the true! Trust me, i'm her little sister.

NOR
Dear visitor to the Hyatt Regency, there is a rule NOR which means no original research. There needs to be some source supporting statements, if challenged. It is not enough that Rie told you so. Please provide sources. That would be excellent. And how is Beograd? RieR 12:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear Charles de Gaulle passenger (Rie?), ditto. RieR 12:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Still at Charles de Gaulle a month later? RieR (talk) 12:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

LGBT?
I've removed the sexuality section. First, it was waay WP:UNDUE. Second, I find no reliable sources to back any of that up. Per WP:BLP, if anyone wishes to add that back in, please source it. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The info has been added back in with some sources, but I still have a problem with them.
 * The New York Observer: "... dabbling in bisexuality ..."
 * MODELS.com: Says nothing about her sexuality
 * Supermodels Are Lonelier Than You Think!: Website doesn't exist
 * Rebecca Romijn Fanpage: Besides being a fan page, it doesn't say Rie is bisexual, and is hearsay to boot.
 * New York Post: Besides not being a reliable source, it's gossip.

Please don't add the sexuality section back in without a reliable source. This is Wikipedia policy, not just being picky. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 13:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Think you are not reading the sources thoroughly. She worked for Victoria's Secret because she wanted to have sex with a supermodel. And did. RieR (talk) 15:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * And you're not reading Wikipedia's policies on Biographies of Living Persons correctly. Do not add controversial information without reliable sources that back up the claim. As I've mentioned several times, the information you are adding does not conform to the policies of the encyclopedia. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:14, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have explained that you don't understand the policies. If she happily talks about wanting to have sex and having sex with men and women in interviews with reliable sources (which she has) then that is sufficient. RieR (talk) 13:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with SatyrTN. This is something Wikipedia takes very seriously. I've left one line in, because the New York Observer seems decent, but will not object if someone omits it entirely. the skomorokh 19:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the section entirely. SatyrTN and skomorokh are right - the information is of basically no relevance and weak sourcing, and because its controversial it should be excluded. The comments above by RieR should also be removed once the consensus on this issue is established. Avruch  T 20:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

"Discovered"?!
Is a model supposed to be some object of value with no agency of her own? What was she, a gemstone buried in mud and awaiting discovery by some creepy treasure hunter? Jargon does nothing to justify such heinous wording, and it says a lot about the normalisation of unequal power relations within the fashion business. VampaVampa (talk) 01:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
