Q: I thought that she was Miley Cyrus's sister? Toajaller3146 05:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A: No, Miley Cyrus's only sisters are Noah Lindsey and Brandi. Madison is no way related to Miley as far as anyone knows. Madisonxsophie 23:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A: I would say that Madison Pettis would be black, but it is possible that she could be Mexican. And there is a chance she's Native American.

can i find out where she went to school and dance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.77.165 (talk) 23:51, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date[edit]

Currently, the article gives "(born July 22, 1998)", but this is uncited. Recently, someone changed this to 1996, which I reverted.

We have to sources that give ages. dated 27 November 2006 says she's 8. This puts her birthdate between 27 November 1997 and 26 November 1998.

"Meet..." gives an age of 9 and the cite said the article was from 7 March 2008. However, the actual posting of the article says it was last updated on that date, not that that was the orignial date. As a result, it merely supports that she was at least 9 by 7 March 2008, meaning she was born before 7 March 1999.

"She's a Chip..." rules out the 1996 date. We still need a cite for an actual date. Failing that, I'll yank the date entirely in a few days. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:52, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey[edit]

Resolved

How did she get decovered i,ve always wanted to know that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.22.73 (talk) 05:14, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might try reading the article. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Middle name "Angel"[edit]

IP user 71.103.41.91 (talk) has added the claim that Madison's middle name is "Angel", not "Michelle" three times. I have reverted it twice (and was about to do it a third time), but I'll bring the discussion here (in addition to the note on .91's Talk page). The only source we have that mentions a middle name is the IMDB page, and it says "Michelle". I believe the latest edit needs reverting but maybe somebody can step up with an actual reference supporting the "Angel" claim. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 22:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we can consider any references if they are offered but until we see something credible we should continue to revert it on sight and regard any continued insertion, with no discussion or attempt to reference, as vandalism. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any updates to this? Searching "Madison Michelle Pettis" gives fewer hits than "Madison Angel Pettis" but nothing looks definitive. I'm going to delete her middle name and leave hidden text indicating that we need a reliable source for this before adding it back in. SQGibbon (talk) 03:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Back To Normal[edit]

It's back to normal it said that she was born in 2002 and that she was active since 08' but I fixed it and I think she is 12 isn't she? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloria983 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Father[edit]

So is her father of Brazilian or African American descent? The second and third line of "life and career" contradict each other. Unless the last editor thinks people of Brazilian descent are African Americans. In this case I can only "admire" his/her grasp of geography :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.40.141.149 (talk) 21:52, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is entirely possible that her father is descended from Brazilians of African descent. This would make him both African American (a poorly defined and subjective term, incidentally) and "of Brazilian descent". - SummerPhD (talk) 01:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

It's debatable whether this article should have an infobox, or not. Discuss. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:39, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My view: This one has just barely enough info that I side with Denniss that I'm inclined to leave it in. But I don't feel strongly about it... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:39, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I feel as the content in the infobox is directly on the left it makes having one pointless ?, You're just displaying the content on the left and on the right pretty much?, Had there been more in the infobox like education, alma mater or others I can't think of then sure but like I said I feel including one just seems pointless ?,

That all being said I'm going not to edit war over it but just object to one thats all, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 16:50, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The one additional piece of info that an infobox here presents is years_active – that's why I don't feel strongly about it: it's one thing, but only one thing. However, if the infobox here ever includes a "second" piece of useful info like that (i.e. in the future), then I'd be a lot more in favor of this article having one. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The years active bit I thought was the second paragraph in the career section (Pettis won her first major role in 2006) (I thought 2005 may of been a typo), Funnily enough I thought the IB may need to be kept because her age isn't anywhere in the article,

I agree tho on the one bit of info - Even if it was a school or alma meter that for me would be enough tbh, –Davey2010^Talk 17:56, 16 July 2018 (UTC)q[reply]

I agree that there should be an infobox because it is helpful to the article and other actors and actresses have an infobox on their article, also there is enough information in the infobox for it to stay.2602:30A:C0C5:11F0:C474:7115:61BB:E5D9 (talk) 06:08, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Justification for one at this article is borderline, I do agree. However, if one other editor comments here in favor of the infobox, I think it would demonstrate some consensus in favor of putting it back in the article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:08, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please put the infobox back in the article because i will put more references in the infobox and the article should have an infobox because it is helpful for editors on Wikipedia.Winston Covington (talk) 06:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Can someone please change it to something more recent? The current one is 12 years old. I don’t know how to do it myself yet. Justanotherwikieditor27653 (talk) 09:37, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be a free-use image for use on Wikipedia. Those aren't necessarily easy to come by. So we use what we can. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:41, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New movie[edit]

Hello!

Can someone please add the reference for the new movie she is in? It’s not working for me. Here’s the link: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11771594/

Thanks!

Melissa Justanotherwikieditor27653 (talk) 00:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Justanotherwikieditor27653: This is a direct-to-video release, so sourcing is generally weak, but this will probably do: https://movieweb.com/american-pie-girls-rules-dvd-release-date/ I will let you do the honors of adding this, with this source... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:03, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Occupation[edit]

She was chosen by Rhianna to be the lead model for her lingerie line Dragon1027 (talk) 09:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make her known or "notable" as a "model". It needs to be longer-term than that – basically, when a significant percentage of one's income comes from a secondary occupation for several years, then it's likely that someone will then actually be notable for that secondary occupation as well. In this case, Pettis is overwhelmingly notable for being just an actress. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:44, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
