[edit] When WAS she born?
Currently I see her as being born in 1971 and in 1976. One of these answers is definitely incorrect, and the other may be correct.
- 1971 ~ June 30 2006 16:38
- 1971 is listed in several articles. It also makes sense as she was a young teen in Juguemos a Cantar versus being a child actor. Ronbo76 14:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Should it say Mexican American in the intro since she's now a citizen? 67.10.149.92 07:05, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Thalía has sold near 22 million album worldwide:
- Thalía, 1990: 600.000 - Mundo de cristal, 1991: 700.000 - Love, 1992: 1.000.000 - En éxtasis, 1995: 1.500.000 - Amor a la mexicana, 1997: 4.000.000 - Nandito ako, 1997: 1.000.000 - Arrasando, 2000: 2.500.000 - Con banda grandes éxitos, 2001: 900.000 - Thalía, 2002: 3.500.000 - Hits remixed, 2003: 850.000 - Thalía (en inglés), 2003: 3.000.000 - Greatest hits, 2004: 1.000.000 - El sexto sentido, 2005: 3.400.000
[edit] No sources
- In the summer of 2005, Thalía's multi-million dollar contract with Televisa was cancelled, due to her not wanting to star in a soap opera or a show with the company. After several notices the head of Televisa Emilio Azcárraga Jean, decided to cancel her contract after several attempts to make her go back into telenovelas. The contract was made for three telenovelas and only one was made, Rosalinda (1999). Thalía was paid $75,000 U.S dollars a month for the contract.
I removed the above as there are no sources cited for any of this, and some of it sounds like speculation
- So it didn't happen at all (her contract cancelled)? Because other than the "speculation" I don't see why that bit of info couldn't be included. 67.10.149.92 23:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is Thalía of Greek descent?
Someone editted Thalía with the category of Greek Mexican. Can anyone confirm she is of Greek descent with a citation? Otherwise the category should be deleted. Ronbo76 23:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
She has nothing to do with the Greek, just her name is of Greek origin, because her mother liked learning Greek Mithology very much. Thalía is of Mexican-French-Italian descent and she was born in Mexico City, August 26, 1971. (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)
No, you can see her sister, Laura Zapata is in that category too
[edit] Confusion arises because of her name and step-Dad
The name plays into it but also her step-Dad is Greek (if I remember correctly). Some people even in Mexico think she is Greek for that reason but nothing I have seen or read indicates she has Greek blood or was adopted. Ronbo76 06:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article available in Greek language
Please add it: "el:Ταλία". (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)
[edit] Sources
I suggest you taking news only from her official website www.thalia.com and her official fan club website www.mdcthalia.com. These sources are always OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. The information on all the other sources may NOT be true. (Zoltan, MDC webmaster)

[edit] Images
Hi there. I’ve had a look at the details of the images used in the article and I don’t think they’re quite appropriate per WP:FU. In particular, the album covers really need to go, since the albums are not discussed in detail here. The covers should only be in the articles for the corresponding albums. I’ve removed the covers from the list, but I’ve left the other images for the moment, in case somebody has replacements or is willing to expand the article so that some of the images become usable. Please note that Image:T&tmarried.jpg and Image:Thaliasodicollection1.jpg lack source information. They will be deleted if it is not provided. If you know where these images are from, please add the information to the description pages! —xyzzyn 18:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Her supposed "Guiness Record" is highly questionable...
"In 1996 "Guiness World Records" decided to put Thalia as 'the most recognized artist in one day' She won awards from all over the world in only one day of receiving Key of Indonesia,Key of Philipines and the key of Miami,won 6 awards from the "Eres Awards" for 'Best Song' 'Best Dance Song' ,'Best Female Singer'....etc. and Won Several awards too in "Heraldo Music Awards" and many other in the same day."
- I'm afraid this information is FALSE. Although many news articles reported this at that time, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NEVER FOUND A GUINESS SOURCE that would have confirmed it. Maybe there was a confusion with another recognition.
Zoltan, MDC webmaster 88.209.201.157 20:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Thalia has never received any of those awards at the Premios Eres. I should know as I have them all recorded.
64.175.66.19 04:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I just saw an interview with Thalía where she mentioned this supposed Guinness award, but she couldn't remember either what it really was. So I'm still saying it has never been true. I would like to see the PROOF from the Guinness World Records book from 1996 or 1997. --Zoltan 19:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the entire paragraph as I'm convinced it's BS. 71.231.107.188 04:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tonight's wholesale edit
The user who did the edit tonight claims that info was moved to another part of the article. Most of it was actually deleted which is indicated by the history of edit diffs. Recommend another editor review. Ronbo76 04:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
The only deletes done were non-neutral point of view comments and most of the comments were moved and rewritten properly. Your too lazy to read the article. Keep you day job (if you have one).
[edit] Her correct name is ARIADNA, not *Adriana.
ARIADNA THALÍA SODI MIRANDA... Ariadna is from Latin "ARIADNA" and this form from Greek ARIADNE, a historic name from a Greek god, daughter of King Minos in Greek Mythology. She is NOT named Adriana. Just listen to the audio that I added, SHE is saying her name herself. You will hear it. I think the difference is very evident when pronouncing ARIADNA and Adriana.
