Talk:Canadian Idol

message: It seems I am the only person working on this article. Because of the popularity of American Idol, and Canadian Idol, I figured this article would develop as quickly as the American Idol article did. However, that does not appear to be so. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to wikify articles, and the instructions listed in the template are not very helpful. If someone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

replies: text: Hello fellow CI fan! I think the reason why it hasn't developed as much as the American Idol article is simply because the US is a bigger country so there are a lot more people interested in AI. As for "wikifying", it simply means bringing coding and the like up to Wikipedia standard. That's only a problem for the finalists table. I'll try and do that when I get the time.

message: Maybe I've missed it, but what do the 2's, 3's and 4's mean after contestants' names, eg:
"2 September    Love Songs   Audrey de Montigny (2)  Gary Beals (2)" 	PKT 18:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The genre on this article was changed from "Interactive Reality Game Show" to "Talent Show".  I reverted the edit, although I agree with it;  the problem was that it replaced live wikilinks with a dead one.  Not only that, but an article for Talent Show has previously been deleted after an AFD.   PKT 15:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a line in the trivia section that says "Bon Jovi made its first Canadian TV appearance on Canadian Idol". I'm eliminating this line, because it's absolute rubbish. Bon Jovi has been on MuchMusic many times going back to the 1980's.  Greg Salter (talk) 15:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I deleted the words in the beggining saying that Canadian Idol is know as Star Académie in Québec, which is false, since Star Académie is our rendering of the French tv show and has nothing to do with the Idol franchise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.244.7 (talk) 03:02, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
