replies: text: It is Evel Dick, from Evel Dick himself. He's told the story. The name EvilDick was taken so he changed it to Evel (like "Evel" Knievel), and he said it stuck, and everyone knows him as that! It's EvelDick. Just like my user name is spelled "Jeeny" my real name is spelled "Jeannie" It's pronounced the SAME. (when I first registered with my ISP years ago, Jeannie was taken, and I didn't want a bunch of numbers behind it. It stuck with me "Jeeny") That's what happened to him, but you don't know that Evil is preferred over Evel, for Dick, as with me, he may feel that it's his own identity. - Jeeny Talk 19:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't want to bring this up before anything actually happens, but on Showtime I'm hearing the words "Voluntary Exit" being thrown around right now. Since the color we use for HoH is the one used for voluntary exit in other places, what color would we use if it did happen? T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 04:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If that happened with this Big Brother, then the template itself would have to be modified from the looks of it. Because there is a space for nominations, evictions, then two other spaces, legend3 is used for HoH and if someone is expelled then we use legend5. The only thing I can think of is use the color that is normally used for an expelled houseguest. Or modify the template to include an additional spot with another color. I know right now Big Brother 2007 (UK) is using their nominations color this week to identify "Halfway Housemates". So the only thing I can think of if someone walked off the show use the color we would normally use for an expelled/ejected houseguest. Alucard 16 19:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should either be a lighter or darker shade of the Eviction color, or another color altogether. The UK version is so different than the US version. I wish they would include some of the same twists, and activities into the US version. But, they don't, and haven't, so a different hue of the color of eviction may clue the clueless. :) - Jeeny Talk 07:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I like those colours except that I think "ejected" should be the dark colour (    ) and "walked" should be the lighter one (    ) just because being ejected seems more dark than walking. - zachinthebox 22:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the color green is too dark. Perhaps something like this, as I think the hue should be the same, for aesthetic reasons. But still easy to differentiate.

message: Please do not change them mid season. BBUK and BBAU is very different. The colors are confusing enough when they don't match from one table to another. Some one, maybe me, should propose this a new guideline. BBUS is very different from the European versions and needs to be consistent to those who are not familiar with the color coding. Remember this is an encycolpedia, not a inside job to those who are familiar with the WP:BIGBRO "guidelines". Wikipedia is to be written for those to learn, not be confused, and then have to look all over the place to figure out what a color means, and why they are different even though they mean the same thing. (I'm really tired right now, and sorry if I'm not making sense. I'll look again tomorrow, when I'm fresh and able to address this issue) I just didn't want to change something without explaining my objections and changes on the talk page. Peace. - Jeeny Talk 05:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Color coding should be consistant

message: In the event that a houseguest does leave voluntary in this season or future seasons I think that there may be a solution to the infobox colors.
We use "legend3" here for Head of Household while in other countries they use this for voluntary exits or walks. In order to provide consistency in the US articles, the "legend3" should remain to be used for the Head of Household.
There is a new color/legend that was added to the  infobox just a few days ago, it is "legend6" and it is a pale green color. We can use "legend6" in the US articles to represent a voluntary exit. I have added this color to the  infobox so if we do decide to use "legend6" for voluntary exits it will be the same in the endgame infobox. If you guys would like to see some examples please see my talk entry on the discussion page of the  template page. Alucard 16 22:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We really ought to change to using the green legend for HoH. Green is usually seen as a positive color, and HoH being a positive thing should be green. That and to keep up consistency with the international articles we should reserve the yellow for a voluntary exit. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 02:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Big Brother US has never had a voluntary exit. I don't think that "Walked" should be added to the legend unless it at some point happens. Two houseguests have been ejected in two separate seasons, but it wasn't added to the legend in every season. It is a waste of space in the already extremely long articles for the individual Big Brother seasons. 99.243.247.227 02:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Kail has asked to leave before, so if she's still in the "leaving" mode, we could see it. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 02:42, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I know, I understand, but because the pages are getting long, "Walked" doesn't need to be added until it happens. So if Kail walks, you can add it, but it is a waste to add it if it doesn't happen. I know there could be several scenarios pertaining to one or few houseguests, such as "Taped Evicion" or "Special Eviction", or "Not Eligible". S***, I don't care if "Hit and Killed By An Asteroid" is put in the legend. Just don't add until it happens. So until someone walks, gets thrown out, or gets killed by an asteroid, we can free up a little space for now. 99.243.247.227 19:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If we change the HoH color to the green color or "legend6" the only thing that would happen is the current HoH will be highlighted in green and thats it. The yellow color or walked wouldn't appear in the infobox until someone actually walked off the show. I think the main problem that some people have with changing the color from "legend3"/yellow to "legend6"/green is that in the voting history table yellow is meant for the HoH. Which the voting table colors shouldn't matter since the only the eviction color is the same between the two and they are totally different.Alucard 16 02:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not change it to green. Not in the middle of the series, especially. It's confusing. I have many issues regarding the colors and the constant referring to the international versions. As they are very different. Also, why, oh why are the colors different in the info box from the voting history? That adds more confusion! If there were not the titles to tell us what it means, how would one know? Again all these different colors are confusing. Wikipedia is to help people understand what they are reading and seeing. Not all these different color codes that mean different things, or especially THE SAME THING, but are different colors in the article! Simple is best. - Jeeny Talk 03:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that the colors in the infoboxes should match the colors in the voting/nominations tables. I do agree with Jenny that when looking at the tables and infoboxes the various colors can be confusing. Since a pink color represents walk in the tables I think it should be the same in the infoboxes. Alucard 16 04:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In BBUK the same problem arises. However, having a legend in each of the different tables (under the names in the template, walked etc in the coloured row in the voting history box) solves the problem. Geoking66talk 19:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is the solution that I think will solve the problems. Please see my discussion at WP:BIGBRO. I am basically proposing making the colors like Walked and HoH match the colors that are used for the tables. Like making a uniform standard for the Infoboxes like the Tables have regardless if it is the American, Australian, or Britain version.

text: I think that we should (as my fifth grade teacher puts it) "cross that bridge when we get there". No one has walked, Kail has mentioned it, but no one has, so let's just wait until someone does before we all start discussing loudly :) - zachinthebox 04:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have held a discussion at WP:BIGBRO about changing the colors of the Infoboxes to match the Nominations/Voting History colors to create a more uniform look between the two. Only three people replied which was a shock to me. Two people thought it was a good idea so I went ahead and made the changes to the Infoboxes. If you want to read the discussion or want to discuss the matter further click here. This solves the problem if someone walks from the show now or in the future. To get the correct color for the Head of Household in the Infobox you need to put "hoh" without the quotations in hmxx-status. If you use "legend3" or "three" you will get a green color. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 10:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: He is using their religion to taunt them. Saying they are hypocrites, etc. I guess anti-Christian is a bit strong. But, I do think to label him an Atheist is not correct either. He may have said that, although I haven't heard it. But, he could be just saying it. I don't know. It's better, if it's true he did say that, to say HE SAID it, not he IS one.  A lot of people who say they are Atheists are really Agnostic. He also does a lot more than taunt them for their religious beliefs.

message: I'm not exactly sure why I am taking so much hassle over this but here is the problem.
I was under the impression that we would not allow information to be    posted about things that have not aired on CBS as of yet.  I understand that this is incorrect HOWEVER people keep telling me to read the banner on the top of the page (which obviously I've done a long time ago) and it does say that it may contain "non-definitive" information.  Now, it seems to me that revealing 
*Who won the Power of Veto,
*The fact that they used the Power of Veto to save themselves, and
*The replacement nominee,
...that is in fact adding DEFINITIVE information, as those above mentioned items are now finalized.  Just confused as to where I'm wrong here.  I mean, isn't this page supposed to be about Big Brother the television show?  If so, wouldn't it make sense that the only information on the page is actually about the television show? --  Rjd0060 23:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

However, in order for this to count as a completed task the HouseGuest that America wants Eric to vote for eviction must leave." in notes 2, 4 and 5? It just seems pretty redundant to put it each time. Maybe changing adding it to the top of the article would help, or, better yet, in the America's Player section.
:2. It also says "Jameka is not eligible to compete for Head of Household as she agreed to forfeit the next five HoH competitions during the Veto competition on Day 36" on notes 4 and 5. This, again, is redundant, but I also don't see what this has to do with the voting history other than she is unable to compete for HoH which won't allow her to make nominations? I dunno, it just seems like a far stretch to me.

replies: text: Thanks for noticing that. No it isn't necessary. I had combined/consolidated the same note when it was the same task but on different weeks to reduce the redundancy (I thought it was still that way). Such as note #3, just for example (I don't know what it says at the moment), could be in any week multiple times, but only shows one note in the note section. I don't know who keeps changing it, and adding more. <sigh> Sheesh, and I was just there fixing some wording, and didn't notice the change. <another sigh> I'm not doing it again. lol. I've many serious articles I need to be working on. I've been on this subject too much as it is.- Jeeny Talk 19:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Note 2 is basically the America's Player twist. Note 3 is where Eric was nominated to indicate that since he was nominated America would not have a vote that week. I had Note 4 to include Dick's decision on the Veto since a nominee for eviction won the veto and chose to save another houseguest (almost typed housemate) then Note 5 was the same as Note 4 without the Veto part. My reasoning for including Dick's decision about the veto in the article is because that has not happened before with the Veto and is noteworthy just like Marcellas' decision in Season 3 was noteworthy. Also what is wrong with the References section?♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed the notes, until we know who is HoH and nominated in Week 7 only Note 4 is there because that is a sure thing. In the event Eric is not nominated or wins HoH we would put Note 2 above Note 4 like this week. In the event he is nominated we would use Note 3 and Note 4 for Week 7. That consolidates the notes plus saves space.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

text: And to answer your question about Jameka not being able to compete in the HoH is noteworthy because it is a twist in the normal game and since the US Big Brother includes that kind of information on our Voting History it deserves to be there. If any player is ineligible to compete for HoH except the outgoing HoH then it is noteworthy because that is "Twists to the normal nominations process are noted" so it should be noted.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Three Revert Rule 

message: I think that we should come up with a list here, of common Big Brother terms, and how they should be typed, paying special attention to capitalization.  Here's a start:
*Power of Veto   or  Power Of Veto  or  power of veto 
*PoV  or  POV 
*Head of Household   or  Head of household 
*HoH  or  HOH
*Houseguest(s)  or  HouseGuest(s)
*Backdoor(ed, ing)  or  Back-door(ed, ing)
I know there are many more like this.    --  Rjd0060 00:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we put the voting table in its own article or put the America's Player tasks in with the Highlights? My reasoning is when you click on "See Note 1" for example in the voting history table it goes to Note 1 in the America's Player table. All the notes does that in the Voting History table. So is it possible we separate the two.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not use letters for one and numbers for the other? Or something like A1, A2, etc. for America's Player and then V1, V2, etc. for Voting history? - zachinthebox 03:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could we do that? I am not very experienced in the whole notes thing but I will try. America's Player should have the A1, A2, etc. for the sake of uniform between the US voting history tables. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

text: On a somewhat related note, it might be worthwhile to create Big Brother 8 (US)/voting history and Big Brother 8 (US)/America's Player. Then we can transclude them with  and  for ease of monitoring edits. --William Graham talk 04:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, you would need 2 if you were to transclude them, they'd also need to be templates rather than articles. I'd say there's no real need for them, once the season is over, both tables will be set in stone and require no further changes. Seaserpent85Talk 17:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The discussion was very long, and she was accused of trolling and three-reverting. I think she finally had enough and decided she would retire. - Spyke1077 18:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
