Infobox image

edit

Could the infobox image be changed to this one:
 
Reason: In the current infobox image, her sunglasses cover so much of her face that she is not really recognizable.

The change would be:

| image        = Kate Moss - Decorté advertisement.jpg
| caption      = Moss in 2019

and to remove the now-duplicate image from "Personal life".

Heroin chic and size zero

edit

The associations made in the intro with Moss and the tabloid-ese terms ‘heroin chic’ and ‘size zero’ are vague and subjective. These are associations, not facts, and do not belong in this section 2A02:C7F:9FB8:9C00:FC04:11D7:994B:CBCF (talk) 06:37, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

They are supported by reliable sources in the body of the article and thus a summary version is in the lead per WP:LEAD EvergreenFir (talk) 06:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Birth name

edit

Hello, Kate's birth name is Kate Moss, not Katherine Ann Moss as stated in the infobox. As an employee of Kate Moss Agency LTD, how can I go about changing this please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Factsonfashion (talkcontribs) 13:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

You can't unless you have a very good independent reliable published source. Theroadislong (talk) 17:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Factsonfashion: There are already multiple reliable sources cited for her name, including The Guardian. You would have to get them to issue a retraction or correction, or get a reliable source to publish a copy of her birth certificate, before we could change it here. And you need to disclose your paid editing status on your user page before you do anything else on Wikipedia, including participation on this talk page. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi, thank you for the information here. These articles (references 3,4,5 in the bio box) have amended their original publishings to redact the incorrect name and are now live with registered birth name 'Kate Moss'. Do you know how best to change this now please? I do not have a paid editing status, just trying to make sure the name is factually correct so it appears on Wikipedia/Google etc in the right way.

In the section on Moss's charity work, "the tsunami" should probably link to the page on 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami rather than the general page on tsunamis. Can someone update that? Thanks. --141.149.53.253 (talk) 20:32, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
