Update: added contestant(s) after several pageants had concluded prior to 8 July 2024 2001:FD8:2634:83C8:F87D:B9F:A204:354F (talk) 00:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done I took the new Florida, Montana and Wisconsin citations, and improved citations for other states plus Colorado. It was hard to tell what else has been changed. If you want to suggest more changes, please open new dated edit requests with individual changes, instead of adding the whole contestant table. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Social media as sources

edit

I think that WP:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Sources has good advice on how to use social media. For state placements, media accounts from pageants (or maybe their officials) can be treated as reliable. Other sources, including photographers and fans, such as "@edwinshaw" recently added and removed twice for Kentucky, are not to be considered acceptable. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
