The Article move not needed.
The article move was not needed. WP:BIGBRO has clear guidelines that the UK edition should follow the style of Big Brother 200x (UK) not Big Brother x (UK). The article should have not been moved without discussion and now is weird for the previous articles to follow the pattern while this article follows the pattern of the US naming scheme. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 23:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- And for discussion purposes one of the reasons the UK follows the naming scheme it does (if I remember right) mainly due to the celebrity edition. Channel 4's BB Archives calls CBB 2005 Celebrity Big Brother 5 despite it being third overall. The same was brought up with the 2007 series, the C4 archives, again, say the 2007 edition was the seventh CBB edition despite it being fifth overall. The UK uses years for its articles to avoid confusion. That was a big key point last time I believe. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 23:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
House pics
Should we add that house pictures have been leaked today???89.100.221.196 (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)E-To-The-Izzo
- Personally, my vote is yes, because it's relevant considering it's not a rumour, it's evidence that the previous stories about the house have been true. I think it should be added. Sky83 (talk) 20:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I've added in a description of the main features of the house, that will be enough until the the series launch.
Vandalism
Can someone semi-protect the article or something for now? Thanks Exxy (talk) 20:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Some of it has been restored, but it is missing a lot of real content that was added.Trious (talk) 20:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Can someone just fill out the housemate details from the profiles here http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/housemates/ and lock it for tonight. There'll be lots more in tomorrows papers --Tshannon0 (talk) 21:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) unnecessary
Now that the article is semi-protected and the show has actually started, wouldn't it just be simpler and more effective to put Big Brother housemates back as the regular template? Geoking66talk 21:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) should be deleted as it is not needed. It is just a copy of Template:Big Brother housemates except it is set up to only be used with this series. I propose delete and use the regular template just like every other Big Brother article does. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Nominated Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) for deletion. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Failed to apply?
"a round up of the previous day's events will be read by mock news reader 'Dai Davis Peach', who failed to apply for the seventh and eighth season of Big Brother."
Is this sentence correct? Perhaps it's supposed to mean "whose application for failed" rather than "failed to apply"? Evercat (talk) 00:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Since it's not sourced, we can't check, so I have simply removed it. Guinness (talk) 12:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Mario in Brits Behind Bars.
Gotta say, the youtube video here looks a lot like Mario. I've read in quite a few places that he was in Brits Behind Bars, so I dunno if someone maybe wants to add this in? Exxy (talk) 12:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think that there are many reasons not to include this, and none to include it at this time. If you can find some reliable source which specifically says it's him, then maybe this information can be included (i.e. where exactly have you read this?). Guinness (talk) 12:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
