thread_title: Creating an idolpedia

message: I'm working on finding citations for this, but I believe that American Juniors was licensed by Fremantle Media.  Also, the X-Factor was also licensed after-the-fact as a result of the resolution of the lawsuit between Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell, but, again, I'm looking for a citation on that. -- ArglebargleIV 02:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Licensed and unlicensed versions

message: I've put a (partially) reformatted version of the table & footnotes at User:ArglebargleIV/Idol series -- let's discuss it here. For the purposes of such discussion, I made some decisions about content issues.  I'll continue to finish the formatting today. -- ArglebargleIV 19:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Attempt at table reformatting, and consensus

message: I removed the following edit to the first paragraph : 
The Idol series is watched more than the World Cup. 
because that isn't what the article says -- it said that more people watched American Idol than the World Cup in the US.

thread_title:  Explanation of reversion of edits 

message: The table in the Pop Idol, Australian Idol, Idols (Denmark TV series)... pages all have an extra cell on top of the table.  I tried fixing it, but couldn't figure it out.  Can any HTML savvy Wikipedian fix the tables?  Thanxs!  =D  Jumping cheese Contact 07:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Blech, the doubly nested table syntax (with inverted loop, barrel roll, and fries) is ugly.  I'll take a shot at fixing it. -- ArglebargleIV 15:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

text: OK -- that wasn't an empty cell, it was extra cell padding.  However, I got rid of it, and simplified the table code as well.  I've only changed Pop Idol for now, if it looks okay, I'll do the others that I can find later today. -- ArglebargleIV 16:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The table looks great.  Thanxs for fixing it!  ^_^  Jumping cheese Contact 20:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table format 

message: On December 2, 2006, Idol series was marked for deletion (the deletion discussion is here).  Although it was kept, one of the concerns was that the article was largely unsourced.  In order to forestall another (potentially successful) deletion attempt, I tried to find sources for the statements in the article.  Unfortunately, I largely failed -- a lot of it seems like original research.  Maybe somebody else can take a shot at it?  Otherwise, a lot of it may have to be removed, if not the whole article someday. (For notice's sake, I placed a copy of this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Idol series.) -- ArglebargleIV 18:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The image :Image:Pop Idol logo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Pop Idol logo.png

message: I have removed this sentence from the first section:
"
The Idol franchise is the third most popular international franchise, behind only the The Weakest Link (number two) andWho Wants to Be a Millionaire? (number one) franchises, both of which also originated in the United Kingdom.BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Millionaire dominates global TV
"
The article referenced is four years old and I'm guessing the situation has changed a lot since then. I couldn't find any more up-to-date information. --Joey Roe (talk) 09:40, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Popularity 

message: Why did someone edited the list and replaced the winner from each country with the hosts? I think if something besides the shows name and broadcast station should be listed it should definitely be the winner as it then also indicates how many seasons country had and its the winner, you know the Idol that was crownded.
