message: Why is Vesna the only houseguest without a last name listed in the sidebar?  Does she not have one (unlikely), or is it just that nobody knows what it is (and why not)?  You'll have to forgive me, I'm located in the U.S. and can only keep up with the series from the official website, so my information is a little limited...  --PatadyBag 22:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Could someone that is a hardcore fan of the series  please add information regarding the "belindagate" incident that supposedly happened in the 02 or 03 series. (Apparently housemate belinda admited something illegal and the producers covered it up)
* Hi, I've added information under '2003' about Belindagate. I also anonymously added some information about the "Uncut" problems in 2005. (btw I'm the webmaster of http://www.behindbigbrother.com so feel free to pick my brain) - sebiv 10:12, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I've never heard of the incident refered to as Belindagate an article Belinda Thorpe explaining the incident has existed for some time. The crime was not covered-up, and Belinda had not acommitted the crime, and it had long been finished-with by the court system. Asa01 00:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: 220.236.73.77 \ ChrisW, Please stop editing this article to include your Sims web site. Whilst it may be a notable in itself, this article is about the Big Brother television series, and not The Sims. Longhair 11:52, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I've gone ahead and listed User:ChrisW and his associated ip addresses on Vandalism in progress (see here ) to put an end to his anti-social behaviour. Several attempts at explaining policy and attempts at passive communication have failed.
A summary of his behaviour
* Repeated link spamming of the Big Brother (Australian TV series) article
* Vandalism of Meeshams' and Chuqs' user pages
* Impersonation of myself
* Personal attacks
No more Chris. You won't listen to us. We've tried, many many times. -- Longhair | Talk 11:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd like to suggest we remove the stub indicator. The article seems quite complete now. Any objections? Barrylb 18:12, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I've removed the stub tag. It's clearly no longer needed due to recent expansion of the article. -- Longhair | Talk 18:43, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't think that Uncut, Friday Night Live, Uplate, etc are "spin-offs" as defined on Wikipedia, ie "a new series which contains either characters or theme elements from an old series". These shows are all part of Big Brother, they are not a new series. Celebrity Big Brother is the only show I would call a spin-off. -- Barrylb 28 June 2005 10:07 (UTC)
::I agree, there are really just part of the same show. The headline should probably just be changed to something like "Other Shows" Cyclone49 28 June 2005 11:04 (UTC)
:::Just to note that apparently there will be a spin off show in 2006... a celebrity version of FNL (celebrities instead of housemates). I think it's a bit premature to be adding it to the wiki page though. --sebiv 18:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: One of the more classic moments I recall was in the first series, when more than 3 housemates were up for nomination and gretel was having trouble presenting the numbers for voting. When she initially got no help from the producers, she totally lost it and it was so funny.  Does anyone else remember more details and think this is worth mentioning? - Shiftchange 00:39, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The article says that 2001 was the only season where people were allowed to bring in reading material but I remember Chrissie reading a book in 2003. Does anyone else recall that? Barrylb 07:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

message: :See above? And can't we resolve this matter on the actual mediation page itself rather than duplicating info everywhere? Thanks for you time spent making sense of this matter. It's much appreicated. -- Longhair 13:40, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Normally how I work it is you make your statements on the mediation page, we bash it out on the talk page then I make the final suggestion on the mediation page. This leads to the mediation page getting less cluttered I have found. I think this is going to be a fairly easy one to resolve so if its ok by you can we do it here? If you really want we can do it on the mediation page, after all, its your mediation :) - FrancisTyers 13:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine. I've been before the ArbCom before, and assumed (perhaps incorrectly) you did things the same way. No problems. I see resolution forthcoming. -- Longhair 13:47, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We're much more informal than the ArbCom ;) - FrancisTyers 13:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
