Stub

I have just marked this article as a stub because there only seems to be around a paragraph of information. Maybe this will encourage people with more knowledge on this person to expand on what we already have. I am fully aware that there are basically no reputable sources of information that can be cited because most of them are fansites which appear to be citing this Wiki page as a source and it's all getting a bit circular.

I also believe that we need to find a picture that is under a reasonable license as this is sort of a biography and poeple may want to see a picture for the purposes of identifying this person.

If you can find a better stub category please do so: I just looked through the list really quickly TheOtherEgo 10:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright.. I guess it works, and if we find more info, then add it.

Name

Her name is Miranda Cosgrove not Crosgrove. ++Arx Fortis 01:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Invisible notes

To pre-empt people coming here with IMDB info, I've added these invisible notes to prevent any further edits regarding her ethnic background. We've had quite enough misinformation up on this page about this before. Mad Jack 07:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


Uh, we do not care. This is not a disscusion form. I suggest you sign comments, stop posting random messages, and continue to enjoy Wikipedia. Megan :) 20:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Minor bits about the article

  • Can she be considered and noted as a singer? Even if any of those "facts" on imdb are true, and she can actually sing, is she a singer? The article never mentions music or singing past the bit of how she was "discovered." Which leads to my next problem I see...
  • Is there a source at all for any of the "Early Life" bits other than TV.com or imdb? Obviously we know what films she was in, but is there an interview for a source on the other stuff?

I know the second one is covered by the tag, but what about the first? Userpietalk to me! 02:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Or maybe, I can do a little googling and find it in 5 minutes. I'll get working on the refs. Userpietalk to me! 03:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

photo

Question # 1 -- Why can't I use image:mircos.jpg for this article? It a legit photo! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by eddie5000 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 19 April 2007.

Because this isn't a free photo. The only photos we're allowed to use for living people must be free of copyright restrictions. This means that Cosgrove must either clearly and specifically release the copyrights to one or more of her promotional materials, or that somebody needs to take a picture of her and similarly release their rights to that picture. Read the whole notice at the top of this talk page about using copyrighted images as opposed to free ones. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 03:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Eddie5000, you were unblocked because you claimed you specifically understood WP:FU and that you can not use a fair-use image to depict a living person. --Yamla 14:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
What about if there is no free image available then? TheOtherEgo 20:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Unimportant. The question is whether one could be created. Given that she is a living person, WP:FU dictates that one could be created. --Yamla 23:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Yea I fully understand that. What I am talking about is viability, who is going to fly over to LA, California or any event that she may happen to be attending just to take a picture and give it away under Creative Commons or GDFL? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheOtherEgo (talk • contribs) 10:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC).

Filmography: Unfabulous

i just wanted to say here that Miranda Cosgrove also guest starred in the tv show Unfabulous. i think it should go somewhere in the Filmography, but i'm not sure which year (i think it was 2007 though), and i really don't know how to add it in and do the formatting and stuff. is there anyone here who can help? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.46.43 (talk) 04:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Scooby-Doo?

http://www.miranda-cosgrove.net/miranda/miranda-filmography.php mentions that Miranda Cosgrove starred in 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?' and 'Scooby Doo Merry Scary Holiday (2004)' as Miranda Wright. However, there is some error with the dates, the website says the production ends over a year after the film is released, and this information isn't in the article. Someone else should confirm this before adding to the article. Shameen (talk) 14:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Not a Singer

She really shouldnt be concidered a singer cause iCarly was a soundtrack off of the show. And her sort of fist single Leave It All To Me is a theme song. So we should wait till a real album under her name comes out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.217.186.133 (talk) 22:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Deal with it! she is on a soundtrack isn't she? Selena gomez sang her shows theme song and also sang in a movie and one of the songsis in disney mania she is still considered a singer 71.108.172.26 (talk) 23:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Grounded for life is not a nickelodeon show!

i deleted grounded for life from the carreer part.

It is a show that she starred in. It does not necessarily have to be a nickelodeon show. --Enrgy (talk) 00:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Miranda Cosgrove's films

I think that Miranda Cosgrove is a great actress and singer, and has a lot of confidence. I'm getting sort of off topic for just a minute. Has anyone here ever read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan? OMG! Theyre awesome books! They're making the first book into a movie "The Lightning Thief." I think Miranda Cosgrove would be perfect playing Annabeth Chase in the movie, with Jake T. Austin playing Percy Jackson. GO PERCABETH!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.160.235 (talk) 17:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


She was in the movie "The Blue Elephant". She voiced the character Konsuay in 2008. Tawnyowl423 (talk) 00:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)(TawnyOwl423)

Miranda's Image

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miranda-cosgrove.jpg Can we use this image? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djh123thebest (talk • contribs) 11:24, April 15, 2009

No. It's not a free image. —FrehleySpace Ace 17:46, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Put up a photo?

Can we get a photo of miranda on here? and also one of jennette ? someone should find photos of both of them. they are pretty big stars, I think they should have pictures up here...Justme89 (talk) 04:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Miranda & Jennette don't have photos because no free image can be found. once a free image is found it can be put up. --FrehleySpace Ace 05:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Can we get them off of Google Images? And how do you insert pictures into the article?--Kagemaru the Ninja of the Shadows (talk) 17:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
As long if the picture is free--Intelati (talk) 18:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Google Images is only a search engine, like regular Google - they don't own (or even host) any of those images. Shatteredshards (talk) 18:40, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Where can they be found? and it seems impossible to find an image thats free nowadays. Justme89 (talk) 03:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

You can find free images using the advanced search on Flickr. Just check the box that says "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content". I already checked for an image of Miranda though, and the only free images available aren't clear shots of her, and the others marked as "free" have the wrong license. FrehleySpace Ace 04:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh I see...they dont have any good photos Justme89 (talk) 19:54, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

There are pics of Miranda clearly...like the one where she has her hands on her hips!—Preceding unsigned comment added by FamFragoso42 (talk • contribs) 20:45, March 8, 2009

That isn't a free photo. FrehleySpace Ace 20:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Can we get that author to make it free? I mean it says, some rights reserved. Justme89 (talk) 17:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That author has to be the person that actually took the photo, to make it "free", and i honestly doubt that they are the one that took the photo. --FrehleySpace Ace 07:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

What about this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34859873@N04/3276070010/ this seems to be a really good one. And it is free.--Kagemaru the Ninja of the Shadows (talk) 17:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry that's not a free photo. --FrehleySpace Ace 21:26, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

How would you know it is free! Anyways, I did check the box that says "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content". I already checked for an image of Miranda and this one is clear because she's not an award ceremony or had little things flashing over her! Errr... I wished this talk had emoticons, then it would look like this guy here D:< . —Preceding unsigned comment added by FamFragoso42 (talk • contribs) 02:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Is the photo free if I took the picture myself with my own camera and upload it to my computer and then here? It should be since I took the picture. --Kagemaru the Ninja of the Shadows (talk) 16:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, if you took the photo you can upload it as a free image. —FrehleySpace Ace 18:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Philanthropy

This section needs to be expanded, renamed "Charity" or cut. Appearing at one event, and we don't even know if that was a free appearance or a paid one, is hardly philanthropy.

Ted Turner gives a billion dollars to the UN, that's philanthropy. Ed Norton sits on the board of directors of a number of charities, again philanthropy. Sing a pop song or two while people eat dinner, nice, but not philanthropy.

Philanthropy generally refers to large commitments of time and money, far in excess of what those who normally engage in charitable acts would normally give. Philanthropy implies not just donating to an organization, but being the primary donor. It implies leading an organization without taking a salary, not simply volunteering a few hours or days of time.

Contradiction tag

I found and fixed the contradiction. It was a simple placement of a specific word here and there with an entire line being re-written to coincide with the actual interview. If you still feel this article is in contradiction, feel free to place a new tag or fix the contradiction. Thanks. Kjnelan (talk) 22:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with the change and have reverted it. My understanding, based on the sources I could find, is:
  • Ms. Cosgrove was spotted by a talent agent while singing and dancing in a restaurant. This happened when she was three years old (some sources have five years), so that was sometime from 1996 to (possibly) 1999.
  • She was not spotted a second time by an agent, years later, while still or again singing and dancing in that restaurant, at least, I can't find a source stating or suggesting that (other than copies of our Wikipedia article).
  • Her acting career took off in 2001 – not counting some earlier acting in commercials – but that was not the result of being spotted in a restaurant, unlike what was suggested by the "fix".
  • So the actual contradiction is that the article states that the event of being spotted took place in 2001, which is not possible if Ms. Cosgrove was born in 1993 and was three to five at the time.

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).
Please don't simply revert something because you think you are right. You may well be, I'll give you that, but it would be much better to actually work together as a team towards a really good article. Change the year, or fix the contradictory sentence if you are in the know about when she was "found" by the talent agent. Thanks again for your continued excellent work on this article. Kjnelan (talk) 08:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
When I see an ill-considered change, one that lowers the quality of an article, I'll feel free to revert it, thank you. As far as I understand, that is all part of the Wikispirit: bold, revert, discuss. I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to my "suggestion". I just explained what the contradiction is, which is apparently something else than what you thought it was, whatever that may have been.  --Lambiam 08:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
um Lambiam, it's a template tag. Can we please remember to be courteous. Thank you.
So how do we fix the contradiction rather than ignoring it and just reverting a proposed change? (Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle#What BRD is.2C and is not) Kjnelan (talk) 08:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I wonder if you've also missed that in her own words, according to the third citation, "but when I was three, an agent walked up to my mom and asked if I wanted to do modeling and print. You know, you hear about that all the time, agents coming up to kids. Anyway, I just kind of did commercials and modeling and stuff, and I thought it'd be fun, and then when I was seven I really realized that I loved doing it, and that's when I started trying out for more theatrical things and actually roles and plays and stuff like that." There are several citations with valid descriptions of events. Perhaps only change 2001, to 1996 and that will solve the problem? I'd think she would know which of the versions is the correct one? What do you think? Kjnelan (talk) 08:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, WP:DTTR. I didn't miss that citation, but I don't know if it was 1996, or 1997, or perhaps even later. I put in a new text, but it is not entirely backed up by the sources. We know: (a) that Cosgrove was spotted when she was three; (b) that she was signed up – whatever that means; (c) that she appeared in commercials. We also know that (c) was after (b) was after (a). But how soon after? Maybe, by the time she actually did the first commercial, she was already four or five.  --Lambiam 09:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
DTTR... Yes I know that one. There is also WP:Civility. Thanks for making the changes. Great job! Cheers. Kjnelan (talk) 09:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Citations

The following citation no longer works (at least not in Firefox): ^ a b Chau, Thomas. "An interview with the kids of School of Rock". Cinema Confidential (UGO). Archived from the original on 2007-09-27. http://web.archive.org/web/20070927190221/http://www.cinecon.com/interviews/schoolofrockkids.shtml. Retrieved on 2007-08-24. I could not verify the citation as used since it talks specifically about Miranda's acting career. This could lead to another possible contradiction down the road with regards to her career starting either when she was 3 or in 2001 (when she was 7 or 8?). Thanks. Kjnelan (talk) 22:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Lambiam, is the above a problem? Thanks Kjnelan (talk) 07:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
The link works fine for me (also using Firefox). Here is what it has to say about Miranda's acting career:

MIRANDA: I’ve been acting since I was three. An agent walked up to me. I was actually dancing at a restaurant. Taste of LA, heard of it?

See further my reaction above, which I wrote before I read this section.  --Lambiam 08:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool... funny it doesn't work for me. Revert away. No worries then, but still think about fixing the contradiction as stated above in my response to your response about the response... I'm getting dizzy.  ;) Peace. Kjnelan (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Small Grammar Problem

This is a minor thing, but really needs to be fixed. In the first paragraph of section Career: "In the series, she portrayed the mischievous sister of the title character, Megan Parker." This should be rewritten as, "In the series, she portrayed the title character's mischevious sister, Megan Parker." As it's currently written, it sounds like Megan Parker is the title character. I had to read it 3 times just to find out what was really intended.Ж Wind of Tomorrow Ж (talk) 19:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Discography Page

I think that Miranda Cosgrove should have her own discography page. She has released her debut studio album, and extended play, has 5 soundtrack singles as well as the lead single from her debut album, and I'm sure there's more to come.

Career start wrong?

The beginning of the article states "Her career began in 2001 when she was spotted by an agent who was so impressed by her singing and dancing in a restaurant called 'Taste of LA' that he signed her up for a number of small roles in commercials." The problem with this is in the Biography section, it states "When she was three years old, she sang and danced at a restaurant called 'Taste of LA.' A talent agent was impressed, and signed her up for his talent agency." She was 7-8 years old in 2001, and if she was 3 it would have been in 1996 or 1997. The other possibility is that "Taste of LA" actually had nothing to do with her starting out at 3 years old, so which is it? Shatteredshards (talk) 18:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC) she rocks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.177.193 (talk) 00:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

As noted above, this article states: "At the age of three, she was discovered by a talent agent[3] while singing and dancing at the Los Angeles restaurant Taste of L.A.[4] Cosgrove stated that when the agent walked up to her and her mom for modeling, she had "never really thought of being an [actress]" and "was lucky".[5]" Really?

Smallville

FROM Mike 0vermind74 -- January, 12, 2007
I have upgraded Miranda's Filmography to a table instead links, becuase it looked pretty pathetic. ;)

I do wonder and question about something though. In the film Smallville it is marked and confirmed to be the date of 2001, there is a problem here though... in 2001 Miranda was 8 not 5. I don't know who/why someone is changing it back but for now leave it a age 8.

One more think.... do you guys know the status of adding her personal life to the article???
0vermind74 07:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

That "Age 5" bit is reference to the Lana Lang character not Miranda herself, she probably was 8-years old when she played Lana Lang, Age 5. Quasyboy 13:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Well then there should be a notice of that somewhere. I'll put a footnote about it or somthing.

EDIT: Never mind that's too cunfusing for anyone who reads it none of the others have the age. I'm taking it out. 0vermind74 07:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

She actually didn't play Lana Lang; her imdb entry is wrong. That was Jade Unterman, and if you look at Jade's imdb entry you'll notice that she's credited for exactly the same episode as Miranda. David 11:02, 13 Jan 2007 (GMT)

Why is she so mean and cruel in drake and josh?? She is like that crazy annoying girl you see at school who is a jerky tattle tale for no reason. She really needs to change her charachter

LOL Where do people get this information? Do they just search up her name and make stuff up?? I mean really it's not hard to figure out the correct way. I've never really trusted the IMDB anyways. 0vermind74 17:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Two actresses played young Lana Lang in that episode. QuasyBoy 13:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Well ok. I haven't seen it myself, it was the owner of Amazing Miranda who said it wasn't her. I've found it on YouTube though, so I'll watch that when I have time and confirm it for sure. But really, if one of Miranda's biggest fans says it's not her, I'm inclined to believe it. David 12:35, 14 Jan 2007 (GMT)
Ok. Take a look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeOm-_DcQno at about 1:30 onwards. Are you telling me that that's Miranda, just two years before she was in School of Rock? There's just no way. Two actresses did indeed play her in that episode, but only one of them played Lana at a young age. So either way, one of the IMDB entries, either Miranda's or Jade's is wrong. And I'm sure that's not Miranda.David 14:46, 14 Jan 2007 (GMT)
I stand corrected, that definitely was'nt her. QuasyBoy 15:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone has swapped the instances of "Taylor" and "Elizabeth" at some point. I just checked the cited "California Birth Index" and the original information seems to be correct. Perhaps you think that her middle name is really Elizabeth, but by swapping the names like that you cite a source incorrectly. Now, I don't know much about the Birth Index, I don't know where Miranda was born and the validity of the index, but unless you have another source you should leave it alone.

"Highest paid child star"

Cosgrove earns US$180,000 per episode of iCarly, making her the second highest paid child star on television.

Miranda Cosgrove in "Unfabulous"

I just find out that Miranda Cosgrove was in Nickelodeon's show "Unfabulous" (season 3 episode 11 "The Talent Show") — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poli97btr (talk • contribs) 16:15, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Accident

She was in an accident and broke her ankle. This is not a "severe car accident".[2] The crash did not cause "Miranda Cosgrove fans from all around praised to her"[3] (For breaking her ankle? Good job breaking that ankle! Maybe you'll get a cool cast!) This does not belong at the top of the article.[4]

Compare Gloria Estefan She was in critical condition with a fractured spine, was airlifted to a medical center and had titanium rods permanently implanted in her spine, followed by a year of physical therapy.

Cosgrove broke her ankle. She probably went to the nearest hospital, by car, had x-rays and a cast.

Estefan's section title is "1990: Cuts Both Ways, tour bus accident and surgery" (lumped in with an album release) but Cosgrove's is "Severe car accident"? Estefan's doesn't merit mention at the top of her article. Cosgrove's does? Had this not interrupted a tour, this would merit -- at most -- a single sentence in the article. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Support your edits. --BweeB (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

There is no evidence this was a "severe" accident (a broken ankle is fairly minor). There is no evidence this accident "endangered her future iCarly career". Placing this minor accident in the heading suggests that this minor accident is on par with iCarly and her music career. The specific location of the accident is trivial.[5] - SummerPhD (talk) 20:33, 14 August 2011 (UTC) Yes, she made it back to Los Angeles safely. Yes, she was happy to see her puppy. We're one edit away from hearing who signed her cast and whether or not she needs help taking a shower. I am again removing this trivial material and excessive coverage of this minor event. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Sarcasm may not be helpful, although I agree with you. --Confession0791 talk 01:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately, there was no sarcasm. We have now twice removed that "she had made it safely back to Los Angeles and was happy to see her father, her poodle, and her friends." We also have been told the status of each person on the bus, including the bus driver's horrible, horrible stitches but that everyone was expected to recover "at least physically". All of this is supported with several quotes and assurances that it was sad that the bus driver was hurt, canceling the tour was bad news for fans and Cosgrove was heartbroken. I would not have been surprised to hear reports on costars wishing her well (with quotes) and comments on who is helping her with personal hygiene. Notice that since my comment that you were replying to, the happy to see her poodle/made it safely back to L.A. bit was restored because it "is necessary for the public to know". We'll probably have to continue clearing this kind of crap out for a couple of months. I'd be shocked if we don't see updates when she gets her cast off. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
My apologies, I wasn't watching the article closely. We're always going to have these issues with articles pertinent to tween/teen pop culture. --Confession0791 talk 08:10, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I believe that the bus crash in which Miranda and her mother were involved in deserves more recognition on Wiki.

There are new reports coming from her official site negating the information that is currently on her wiki page. At first I did add WAY too much detail, but then i kept it to a minimum and I believe that is warranted. I do not think this little bit of legitimate updated information is irrelevant. In the future however, I will not go into detail about her twitter postings, I will admit that was a bit much. But I fully believe that this little bit of information is relevant.

===Tour Bus Accident===

During her summer tour, on August 11, 2011, Cosgrove broke her ankle in a bus accident in Illinois. Cosgrove's injury forced the postponement of her U.S. tour dates "until further notice."[1] Contrary to original publications about the incident and its effects on her tour, an update from Miranda Cosgrove's official website states "Due to the severe ankle injury she suffered in a bus accident last week, Miranda Cosgrove has to cancel the rest of her tour to take the time to properly recover, per doctor’s orders. Miranda is heartbroken and thanks all the fans for their continued support. She is looking forward to touring again and seeing all her fans on tour next year."[2]

This minor event does not need a heading. Especially compared to Estefan's far more serious accident (see above) it is a minor event. The newer reports are not in conflict with the earlier report. At first they announced that the tour dates were postponed. This was later updated to cancel the dates. She was in a bus accident, broke her ankle and canceled tour dates as a result. Quotes are not needed. The "Contrary to original ... on her tour" bit suggests there is some kind of controversy, underhanded actions or doublespeak. The sources do not support this. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:42, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for at least leaving the fact the the remainder of her tour has been cancelled.

"Best friend"

According to NIAD Management company (insert minor note on their website about someone signed to NIAD).[6] This is not independent coverage in a reliable source about Cosgrove. This is a management company promoting their property. It has no place in a biography of Cosgrove. - SummerPhD (talk) 18:30, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Now we have the other actress's Twitter account as a "source". We still do not have an independent reliable source discussing this person as a significant part of Cosgrove's life. - SummerPhD (talk) 23:22, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
You are out of your mind to dismiss a person's actual twitter account as an unverified source on who she considers her best friend, and vice versa. They have been best friends for years now, and Haley's twitter documents that no matter how much you want to disparage it. I can also find it on Miranda's twitter with Haley as her longtime friend, if I want to search back far enough. What's the matter with you in picking debate again over such a small, trivial thing? Who says a friend has to have some significant "impact" on the other (or have to see each other every day) as you insist there has to be in order to be a best friend? There's nothing further to discuss on this documented fact from numerous sources. Leave it be already, and stop looking to make irrational arguments and debate on verified sources that everybody else on Wiki accepts--such as a person's Twitter account bio and/or tweets. You've already been debunked and documented as thoroughly wrong on Dan Schneider's birthdate with numerous references, now you're trying to dismiss another documented fact from a friend's own personal twitter account. What's next on your list to argue about and disparage as verified fact? When do you find something else to do besides pick fights over trivial documented facts? I'll keep adding more references until you stop being so dogmatic, argumentative, and dismissive on numerous, verified, independent sources and not having to use IMDb.com or Wikipedia itself.

It's trivia and does not belong in "Notes" --NeilN talk to me 00:35, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Notes by definition is trivia. I don't know why you object to such an interesting tidbit of documented fact. Katydidit (talk) 00:50, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

We now have tvtropes (clearly not a reliable source) and a bare mention in People (clearly reliable). The People mention, however, is minor and says "longtime friend", not the promotional "best friend". (Note that previous poorly sourced claims from this article had McCurdy and/or Kress as her "best friend(s)". For the tween/young teen crowd, having stars who are "best friends" is a marketing move. We now have Ramm as a friend of Cosgrove. That is trivial. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:43, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Updating and correcting your patently wrong idea that they are only teens or even younger tweens, both are in neither of those groupings as a teen for at least a year now in Ramm's case and a few months for Cosgrove! Ramm is 21, and Cosgrove is now 20. Just to let you know they have progressed beyond that time frame you disparage them as very young people so they have "numerous" best friends and is (crassly in your words) "a marketing move." Do you have a valid source in saying something so inaccurate? They are literally adults now, as 18 is commonly accepted in U.S. law as the dividing line between minors and adults. Katydidit (talk) 08:58, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

We also have Miranda's own tweet on going out to dinner with Haley, "She's the best." That clearly is not trivial, and not the same as just having any friend which would be trivial. Katydidit (talk) 00:54, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Uh, "she's the best" clearly does not equal "best friend". --NeilN talk to me 00:57, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

That's not trivial, and I can find other instances where Wiki mentions a friendship with someone for a short time, and nobody cares on that showing on Wiki. How many years does it have to be before Wiki considers it non-trivial or significant? Katydidit (talk) 01:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Easy. Find a reliable source that discusses their "best friendship" in a non-trivial way. --NeilN talk to me 01:25, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
NeilN is right on the money here. If the friendship is more than a trivial part of her life, we will need non-trivial coverage in a reliable source to document it. (As an aside: Yes, there almost certainly are other Wikipedia articles that include trivial friendships. Those articles should be corrected. That a mistake exists in another article has nothing whatsoever to do with this article. Please see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists.) Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:36, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
All right, 1. Why did you get so upset over this one measly edit that is so inconsequential in a Note on a film they did together, when there are so many other *major* unsourced (or badly sourced) statements in so many other Wiki pages? Besides that, 2. I found a source quoting Haley saying, "Miranda is one of my best friends in real life", from an interview, so do you have any problem with that source or quote? 3. If not, do I need to wait until after 19:32 tonight (my last post on the topic 24 hours ago) before posting it without your approval, or sooner if I can get your ok as a valid source because it was a direct quote in an interview? 4. What happens if I post it without your approval either before or after 19:32 tonight, because it was a direct quote, even if it isn't in a recognized "valid source" such as in a large newspaper or magazine? I still don't understand with all the new sources available on the Internet, which ones (besides IMDb.com) are automatically rejected and why, merely because they aren't household names or because of some other vague or conflicted thinking on which ones qualify and which ones don't. The Wiki page on reliable sources merely list general guidelines to help editors, and are frequently vague or not applicable to sources that can be both relevant and reliable, with or without a direct quote involved--which I believe a direct quote would validate almost anything a person is quoted as saying about that person's personal life. Would you say that is an accurate statement on using a direct quote unless it's in a genererally understood low level validity of a newspaper such as The National Enquirer? Katydidit (talk) 08:17, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

1. Why are you so eager to add this bit of non-notable trivia to the article? 2. I have no opinions on the source but the quote cannot be used to source what you want to put in as a) It did not come from Cosgrove. You cannot take Ramm's feelings for Cosgrove's and b) "one of my best friends" does not mean "my best friend". 3-4) It will get reverted again. --NeilN talk to me 09:13, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

1. I have a better question: why are you so eager to deny or disparage the posting of it, if it is so minor? I just had a feeling you would take that device on the specific language of 'best friend'. Suppose I just wrote, "Haley is a longtime friend" instead of your specific "best friend" labeling, but I'm now only surmising, and won't do it. Although I personally believe you are being way, way, way too picky in saying a person somehow can't have more than only one best friend at a time, such as in a small number (ex, 3 to 6) that meet or do things together regularly. Is that really what you are trying to say or imply in peoples' lives? Why was that so important for you to deny or try to stop the idea? I really can't believe you meant that exactly, and are just trying to stop the posting of the point by any means you can. BTW, all Notes on film/tv history on a person's page are by definition trivia(l), or not all that important to the point of outlining the person's media history, and the entire Notes column or posts on it could easily be eliminated with nobody caring. It was just an interesting point to make on the Notes column, and I never expected this incredible level of intensity from you and the other guy to try to stop the posting of it no matter what source is found that confirmed it. That was going way beyond and overboard just trying to stop the generally understood excellent idea of preventing inaccurate information from being posted that you personally seem to dislike and/or disparage, as the other guy did with his "teen/tween" nonsense that I called him on as completely inaccurate. So, have it your (and the other guy's) way--this time. Does that make you happy now, and make Wiki that much safer from way more important "inaccurate" postings as you obviously insist this one was in deleting it as an exercise of power on Wiki? I think not. Wiki isn't your province to delete or remove posts as you personally desire, and it isn't mine either, but I believe you (and the other guy) both need to rethink your general level of what should be allowed on a trivia Notes column that you blew-up all out of proportion for whatever reason you thought. Save your deletions/revertings for real important errors on the millions of other Wiki pages (I also find some and delete badly-no sourced statements) instead of going off about a best friend(s) notation. I'm done, unless you choose to reply to my points. Katydidit (talk) 09:56, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
I did not say Cosgrove is a tween/young teen. The majority of fans who care that every cast member of every production is her "best" friend are tweens/young teens (though I, for one, am waiting to see her in a remake of "On Golden Pond" opposite Moisés Arias). These are the same fans, noted above, who were obsessed with the "severe" accident (OMG! a broken ankle!) that "endangered her future iCarly career", but "she had made it safely back to Los Angeles and was happy to see her father, her poodle, and her friends." We also were told the status of each person on the bus, including the bus driver's horrible, horrible stitches but that everyone was expected to recover "at least physically". All supported with several quotes and assurances that it was sad that the bus driver was hurt, canceling the tour was bad news for fans and Cosgrove was heartbroken. All of this was "necessary for the public to know". In an article such as this, we have to crop out trivia regularly. Otherwise, we end up with a worship/fansite. There are thousands of pages that list each and every person Cosgrove has ever called a "friend". That's fine, but Wikipedia is not a fansite.
If you are having trouble with our requirements for reliable sources (outlined at WP:V and WP:IRS, all I can really suggest is that you spend some time reading the reliable sources noticeboard to see what kinds of sources are useable and/or consider having a more experienced editor "adopt" you.
No, I won't be limiting my editing to only correcting the truly egregious errors. This would lead to a site where only the most egregious errors are corrected: "Wikipedia: The encyclopedia where you can add anything you want, so long as it doesn't deny the Holocaust killed millions." Not a catchy slogan. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:31, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

In the section "2013-present: Focus on Acting", please correct the phrase "she is recording two movies" to "she is filming two movies." The term "recording" is only used for productions shot on videotape. If the two movies in question are being produced for television and shot on videotape rather than filmed, then this is OK. Otherwise, we need to use the term "filming." Sometimes folks here at Wikipedia get a bit picky about word use, so "appearing in" is an alternative. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 12:49, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

"Singer-songwriter"

"Singer-songwriters are musicians who write, compose and perform their own musical material including lyrics and melodies."

On her debut (and, so far, only) album, Sparks Fly, Cosgrove is one of three writers credited on one of the eight tracks. She was not a writer for any of the other seven tracks. The idea that she is a "singer-songwriter" is unfathomable. Yes, it has been in the article for some time. It is, however, unsourced. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

To the first person, she's American. Yes she does look like she may be foreign or have a parent who is but she's not and does not. There are people in this world who favor a race in which they are not.

The first person asked what her heritage is, not what her nationality is so telling us that she's "American" is completely useless. American is a nationality, not an ethnicity. And what exactly does "she does look like may be foreign or have a parent who is" mean? Do you mean foreign = not white or black lol?

The only thing I need to read is the reference that is included in this article supporting any heritage assertion.

I removed mention of her being "of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent". This doesn't look like a particularly reliable reference to me. It stems for "All Movie Guide", a website I wouldn't use as a reference for anything (for example, in their entry on Harold Pinter - [7], they state that his father was Portuguese-born, which is not correct).

Actually she is a japanese heritage, it was mentioned in an interview and she wants to be thought of as a full american so lets just drop the subject ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.88.127 (talk) 04:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

-Can you source this interview? I'd like to know what her ethnic background Miss Cosgrove really is to end an argument with a friend. Of course she is American and fully American, but she had to have come from somewhere. I'm fully American, but if you ask my heritage I'll tell you I'm Irish. I think that since this is something a lot of people ask about, we should verify it on the Wiki page. --99.141.181.14 (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It says on http://www.nationmaster(dot)com/encyclopedia/Miranda-Cosgrove that she is of Italian, Welsh, Russian, Armenian and Slavic descent. This looks like it may have been taken from an earlier version of this WIkipedia article. I have added it to the article: feel free to delete it. Nascargeek21 (talk) 22:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

(nationmaster(dot)com is a blacklisted site. I have distorted the link for archiving. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:13, 30 January 2015 (UTC))
the website you listed uses starpulse.com as a source the info. starpulse.com doesn't seem like a reliable source to me so it might be best to find a more reliable source before adding the info. --Edgehead5150 22:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I know I have no source on this, but I'd guess that she is of a Filipino heritage, though I believe someone did state that there is also likely some Italian in there, which I could understand. --90.196.136.176 (talk) 00:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

cover song error

A cover of Sheryl Crow's "First Cut Is The Deepest" was posted on Cosgrove's official Youtube channel on July 21, 2013.[9]


Shouldn't that say "Cat Stevens" instead of Sheryl Crow, since Cat Stevens wrote the song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.157.23.215 (talk) 02:00, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Done, thanks! -- Irn (talk) 14:38, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Ethnicity

Really only English, Irish and French?? She looks pretty exotic looking to me, especially around the eyes she looks part Asian. I'd have thought more Filipino/Italian/Portuguese/Native American than English or Irish! I mean look at [8], I find it hard to believe she doesn't have some East Asian/Native American in her. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:47, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

If we could find a reliable source that gives an evaluation from someone considered an expert in the field of deriving ancestry from physical appearance, we could add additional ones beyond the existing ones that are supported by sources that state where her ancestors lived. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
I am not convinced we should add something based on appearance, even if the evaluation is from an "expert". With that said, I might change my mind if the source is of high quality. Nymf (talk) 15:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
What's the point of this comment? Do you want to take that part out of the article? You know how Wikipedia works: we need sources. -- Irn (talk) 15:34, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Of course we shouldn't add anything based on appearance. What's the point? I'm wondering if she actually has other ancestry which isn't mentioned in the article or something is missing. Sometimes a lot have Native American which they don't know about. I'm just surprised as she has a very similar look to what some actresses of Filipina/Native American/Portuguese descent have. Obviously we can't add anything unless a reliable source states it. She or somebody should do a family research thing for her on the genealogy site like they did for Armie Hammer!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:55, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
What we have in the article right now is family lore with only Cosgrove's unsupported word on this. She did indirectly reject "Asian" in that twitter message. I am surprised that her family lore does not support "Cherokee" which seems to be the vastly most common Amerindian ancestry claim for some strange reason. I think we shouldn't put a lot of credence on unsupported primary source info such as this, and I personally think it does not belong, but it seems wiki convention is OK with it as being reliable and in articles. If there were a genealogy study published in a reliable source, that would be useful and interesting to add to the article to explain her somewhat unique appearance.

Years being bunched up to filmography

I don't know what they're called, but looking at other articles, these aren't used. They are separated, and the year is placed multiple times. Should this be changed? Any rule to this? -- Jones210 (talk) 23:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Birth date

Currently, we are citing an Instagram post for a birth date of May 14, 1993. The post, dated May 14, 2015 has Cosgrove saying "#22" and "Thanks for the midnight surprise." The assumption that "#22" means her 22nd birthday (in the Western sense) seems reasonable. Whether the "midnight surprise" was at the very beginning of her birthday (May 14) or the very end (May 13) seems shakier. I've tagged it for a better source. - SummerPhDv2.0 04:00, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

We can say with certainty that her birthdate is 5/14/93, but for reasons that can't be neatly stated in the text. The Instagram post is my ad-hoc substitute for a more reliable, but less supported source–as you know, it checks out with her entry in the California Birth Index, although referencing a public record on a living person's article is generally discouraged. --Sunshineisles2 (talk) 16:06, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Appearences with Naked Brothers band

Not mentioned in the article, Miranda Cosgrove starred in an episode of "The Naked Brothers Band" in 2008 titled "Mystery Girl" in Season 3, and even dated Nat Wolff in May of 2009 til 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chattman (talk • contribs)

Miranda Cosgrove's "About You Now" was been featured on Now That's What I Call Music! 30. I do not think believe that Miranda Cosgrove will be on Now That's What I Call Music! 32. Miranda Cosgrove is not being in the Now's. It's the first time Miranda Cosgrove was on Now That's What I Call Music! 30 not the other Now Volumes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chattman (talk • contribs)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 October 2019

If someone can update and fix her occupation section and remove "Voice actress" from there, because "Actress" covers both her live-action and voice over work. And it's kinda unnecessary to have "Actreds" in there twice. Also her years active section of "singer" need to be fixed with the "en dash" in it, as shown here: "2007-2012" to "2007–2012". 2600:1000:B02B:8321:D032:71AC:BC7F:BE0E (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
