BBUKTF

You proposed it, we have six names (including us), I don't actually know what it involves but I would say the impetus is there so feel free to do what is needed to make it official. Darrenhusted (talk) 16:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where is your sandbox?

And also, can you teach me how to do things?--Maaladeisia (talk) 01:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Something that can easily be achieved

As a member of the WP:BIGBROUK task force, you may be interested in the aforementioned discussion. DJ 14:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gray

Please stop changing this. This is not the same as BBUK. Season 2 uses the gray WITHIN the table, and BB11 should as well. YOU need to discuss to change. Thanks. –túrian^patois 22:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And please don't try to go back and change that one. It has been there forever, so YOU need consensus to change them. –túrian^patois 22:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All Big Brother tables should use the same colors and formatting unless discussed otherwise. Regardless of national version. In the UK when they had HoH they had to use the color established by the USA version instead of their own. There was a discussion for a UK HoH but due to standarization they had to use the color established by the USA version. Same for the African, Australian and Philippine versions. Big Brother Australia season 8 had to have a hybrid voting/nomination table due to the switch in format mid-season. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 22:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which came first? Season 2 or Big Brother UK 2009? Yeah, they need to reach consensus on changing, not the US version. –túrian^patois 22:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 1 UK came first, it was the first edition to have a canceled eviction. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 22:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But BB2 was added first. All I am saying is that consensus should be reached (and we do not need to be the same as BBUK, since the show are almost two totally different things; they just revolve around central concept). –túrian^patois 22:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia project Big Brother has an aim at standardization all Big Brother articles, since Brazil has a different format from the UK and USA should it use different colors? Since Africa is changing some of its rules should it be exempt from the project guidelines? Just because the USA uses a different process to eliminate HouseGuests doesn't mean it should be exempt from the project guidelines. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 23:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They need to be separate projects, IMO. Yeah, there is a whole TV project, but it is broken down into smaller ones. The same could be said of BB. Have a central one with smaller ones that determine their pages appearance. It looks awful white... plain and simple. –túrian^patois 23:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made various attempts at trying to make task force group within the main project for versions like the USA, UK, etc. where there are major format differences. No one was interested until this year. Even after I started the task forces no one has made suggestions regarding this, how the articles should look. I eventually gave up on trying to form the task forces when it was clear I was the only one doing them and I felt by continuing with them editors would accuse me of WP:OWN. I have also tried to get the project more active like others but no one is interested. I am still passionate for the project but it seems no one else is. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 23:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BIGBROUK and WP:BIGBRO/USA ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 23:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

/=> Then we don't need to worry about conflicts with the UK version. I added myself and others can do the same. –túrian^patois 23:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Major colors and formatting should remain similar like article layout, eviction color, walked color, expelled color, etc. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 23:17, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but this new one is different. They don't have votes, they have nominations. They also don't have the coup d'état. –túrian^patois 23:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:TMC 1997.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:TMC 1997.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Proposal

There is a proposal on the Project Big Brother article that I believe you will be interested in. –túrian^patois 22:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIGBRO main page revamp and List of Big Brother (UK) housemates

Just noticed your sandbox attempt of a revamped Main Page of WP:BIGBRO. I love it! Great job. Hopefully we'll have a few new articles to add to the GA/FA list by Christmas. Don't know if you're aware, but I'm currently attempting to get List of Big Brother (UK) housemates up to FL standard (like List of American Idol finalists is) in a sandbox here. Just in case you want to help out at all :) DJ 23:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

haha yes, I have no knowledge of BBUSA but I'd be able to help with clean-ups and tables etc :). I notice from your user page that you like the sitcom Reba? I LOVE IT! Caught it whilst channel-flicking in a New York hotel in February and I've been addicted ever since. I've downloaded all of the series and alot of McEntire's music. She's an unknown in the UK as the programme has never aired here and she's never released music here, which is a shame. DJ 23:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Celebrity Big Brother (UK) housemates is nominated for Featured List status

Hey. Just a quick note to say that I've nominated List of Celebrity Big Brother (UK) housemates for Featured List status after the recent promotions of List of American Idol finalists and List of Big Brother (U.S.) HouseGuests. It would be nice for expierienced editors who have knowledge on Big Brother to review the article at its nomination page. I've also asked MegaPedant and Darrenhusted the same favour. DJ 23:30, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template

Your suggestions look good :). As there's no majority objection I'd imagine it would be acceptable to impliment them? I would do it myself but I don't have a clue how to work that template haha. Dale 10:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK :) Dale 00:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations totals debate

As a regular editor to Big Brother 2009 (UK), I am writing to inform you about this discussion on the aforementioned issue. Dale 20:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother (U.S.)

-OK, I'll have a look over when I have time - probably in about 6-8 hours :) Dale 12:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alucard 16/BB11T

Can I ask what you plan to do with this article? Userspace policy is that article drafts should not remain in userspace forever. Stifle (talk) 08:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: BB11 USA

Of course. I haven't edited a whole lot in the past year but I usually work extensively on BB based stuff right around when BB UK starts to when BB USA finishes. The article seems to be a lot better already though. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 10:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 11 (U.S.)

This article looks very promising and could get to GA quite easily. I've left some suggestions on the talk page, but won't be able to do much on the page until my work on Junior Apprentice finishes - as an indication, the last episode airs tommorow.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Twinkle, pending changes and vandalism

Hello, you reverted an edit on Taylor Swift using Twinkle's "rollback vandal" button that wasn't vandalism. It was unsourced, but not vandalism. The other thing is, for future reference, when you come across a pending edit that is vandalism, if you use the rollback feature (not Twinkle), apart from being quicker, the software automatically accepted your revision, whereas if you use Twinkle, it adds it to the queue. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:22, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that I meant to hit Rollback AGF on Twinkle. I understand now and about Twinkle and the pending changes feature. Thanks for letting me know of my error. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 22:33, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, it's more of a bug than anything else. If you use Twinkle, it just retrieves the previous version of the page, whereas rollback does something else (please don't ask me what, I'm only an admin!) that the pending changes software recognises (as does the undo button actually) but manual reverts and and Twinkle-assisted just show up as a regular edit, so they sit in the queue. Who'd have thought they'd invent so many ways to revert an edit! :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:40, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 12 (U.S.)

Yo! I love the way you edited that page! it's awesome and it looks so cool, now even bigger, it's a very great article! AJona1992 (talk) 01:19, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that you should be updating the Big Brother page with veto ceremony results as the tv show has not yet shown that. I realized per the live feeds, those things have already happened. But that is a spoiler for someone who doesn't know or doesn't watch the live feeds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ndfrspd8622 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
