message: When I was reading through and editing the episode summaries for grammar and clarity, I kept wanting to write in the present tense instead of all past tense, because many of the phrases sounded awkward that way.  A few of them even had present tense verbs inadvertently sprinkled in, probably because it would sound so unnatural to speak these sentences out loud using the proper past tense grammar. Indeed, it should either be all one or the other, and it would be tedious work, but it seems so strange to read entire paragraphs in past tense.  
When I got to Episode 6, I decided to edit it into the PRESENT tense, so that everyone could see how it reads differently.  I think you'll agree that it seems more natural and is easier to read through.  Also, if you look at the official FOX site recaps , you'll find they're all written in the present tense as well.

replies: text: I think you're right: WP's Manual of Style for writing fiction states that events should be present tense.  Now, mind you, this is a reality TV show so it's not fiction, but given that the WP Television Project generally subscribes to this same MOS, I would say stick with the same approach.  Notably, the WAF says that present tense helps the reader to experience the work as it is described, so I would say that applies here. --Masem 15:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it worth creating a trivia / firsts section at all?
* Josh was first contestant kicked out (and his jacket taken) DURING dinner service. 
* Aaron was second contestant forced to withdraw due to medical condition. 
* Hell's Kitchen opened once for breakfast in season 3 to serve 100 army and navy service personnel.
* Melissa in Season 3 was NOT the first contestant to switch teams. Heather in season 2 was told to switch teams when the other team lost two members in a row and contest became extremely uneven. 
and so on and so forth... ? -- Kschang77 14:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  Such items when notable (Josh's elim for example) should be incorporated into the episode descriptions but trivia sections with records like this are highly frowned upon (see WP:Trivia).  Second-time events are non-notable (Aaron's leaving, or Melissa's switch).  This is to help prevent trivia creep which easily happens with many reality TV show articles. --Masem 15:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Apparently there was a leak, and the winner is already revealed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.226.248.34 (talk • contribs) 
:I think it's fair to include that there was a betting scandal for this season that revealed the winner (there's an article somewhere for that, I think over at TWOP there's a link), but I would not spell out who won until after next week. --Masem 05:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Why are the results there when it didn't even happen yet? This affects the show because I'm gonna tell everyone I know and no one is gonna watch the show!
Well if no one is going to watch the show, the only people to blame is FOX for having their staff pretty much spoiling it for the viewers, so don't blame yourself 69.115.122.235 02:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am not overly fond of swearing, but censoring it bothers me more. Was this aired censored this way? Is that enough  of a reason to keep it censored? I've seen most of what little I've seen of HK on cable, where there's no censorship. --Steven Fisher (talk) 22:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if I could change the color scheme to the one currently posted in the season 4 page of Hell's Kitchen (if it hasn't been reverted).  It is much more organized and easier to look at.  Also, the table will be less distorted by the Chef Ramsey's Reason section, because I will move them under each corresponding episode summary.

thread_title:  Progress Table 

message: I just got done watching a season 3 marathon on Fox Reality Channel, and as the article says, Josh never had a photo burning segment that episode. However, the recap in the final episode does show his jacket being hung on a spike (but I don't recall if it shows Ramsay in the process of "spiking" it) and his photo being burned. Does this bear mentioning? Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 05:35, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like non-notable trivia to me.  Maybe if a source mentions it. DP76764 (Talk) 15:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's non-notable trivia, and it probably is, I must point out I have no idea what this statement means:
"[...]and Josh's photo was shown out on the street with his suitcase."
Because I've seen both the recap and that episode. No scene like this was shown, to my knowledge. And on one more instance (even though it's non-notable as well), Josh was eliminated and not only did not get the full "elimination sequence", but also did not get the flashback montage all eliminated black team contestants got (when they show some scenes with the eliminated contestant).

thread_title:  Vinnie Was Nominated by Ramsay, not by Rock 

message: It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
