Talk:Dancing with the Stars (American TV series) season 6

message: I tweaked the redirect slightly to point to the main U.S. article, instead of just the general show article.  Though it may be moot, since the participants are scheduled to be announced on Monday, February 18. --Elonka 02:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

message: And you see that the scoring chart has been "tweaked", "detailed", and "fiddled" with 33 times since the Monday show aired.  Dear GOD people, one word is not going to matter all that much!  If one word isn't exactly the way you want it, but gives the correct information, LET IT BE!  Leobold1 (talk) 20:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Where are the sources for this article?  I've googled this season and can't find where they have listed the dances for the weeks or which dances are being done by whom for the next week.  Leobold1 (talk) 23:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not going to change anything, but will ask a Q.
Shouldn't the ranks for Monica and Penn be a tie for 11, instead of 12? That is the usual method for listing ties. As another example, a tie for 4th would go – 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, etc.

replies: text: I agree.  If you're going to split it like it is, you'd have to know the combination of votes that made it.  Is that score out there somewhere?  Leobold1 (talk) 04:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking back at it, I don't think the chart, as is, will allow for 2 "11"s.  Leobold1 (talk) 05:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see why not; JoeS has it right--both couples should be listed as 11, not 12. Samer (talk) 13:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I've fixed it so they're both represented as 11. PeRiDoTs13 (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rankings 

message: But shouldn't there be a different way to put down the encore performances than the present footnote way?  Leobold1 (talk) 05:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason they're mentioned in footnotes is twofold: (1) in both weeks the contestant that performed the encore was eliminated, and there's no non-garish way to display that fact, and (2) in the case of Steve & Jonathan, it is noteworthy enough to mention (how often does that happen in ballroom dance, period, let alone on national TV?). Samer (talk) 13:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it is noteworthy.  I'm only asking (proposing?) that the encore performances are done in a way other than a footnote.  The encore performance doesn't have anything to do with whether or not they got eliminated.  I think it should be in a list or perhaps (I'm against this) yet another chart.  Leobold1 (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not suggesting that they all be done with footnotes. Again, the only reason I "reverted" to footnotes is that there isn't any easy way to indicate that they were both chosen to do the encore and eliminated in the same week. Samer (talk) 12:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Just a thought 

message: There is no logical reason to present the couples table and then just list the names individually with no other information; it's just a waste of bandwidth. Samer (talk) 13:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duplication of information 

message: If the article lists featured music acts, it should also list featured dance acts (Alvin Ailey Theater etc.) since this is a dance show. Otherwise it shouldn't list guest performances at all.3Tigers (talk) 16:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I certainly think so.  Actually, I went ahead and changed it before I realized you guys had a talk page.  Now the musical guests contains the performance dancers -- both to the musical guests' songs, and the "Stars of Dance" dancers. Ivytwines (talk) 03:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Music and Dance Guests 

message: Shouldn't all the contestants be described as the show describes them (e.g., "Broadway Star" rather than "Broadway Actress")? Samer (talk) 14:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Occupations 

message: How many times does this need to be said? If you have a tie, everyone is assigned the highest number associated with that tie: a two-way tie for second is 1, 2, 2, 4, etc.; by that logic, a two-way tie for last here is 11, not 12. Samer (talk) 16:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just gave up trying to fix it.  I don't have the time to keep fixing it back every single time.  Leobold1 (talk) 10:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

message: In her highest and lowest scoring dances can it be changed to
Jive (twice), Cha-cha-cha Face-Off, & Freestyle (30) so if you look at the chart you can see she scored 2 perfect 30's on two different Jives?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.77.16.83 (talk) 22:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
