message: The colour in the nominations table should be more like week 7 in BB5 (the private and sergent task)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_2004_%28UK%29 81.152.87.25 10:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See the discussion below, but I am going to have to say that on BB5 from reading guidelines on WP:BIGBRO the "Sergeant in task" color should be yellow since they couldn't nominate and were save from eviction and the "Private in task" should be the grey color for "No nominations" since the Privates couldn't nominate but faced eviction that week.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Guru Task 

message: I put that original colour to match the In Big Brotherhood colour from BB7, it seems similar. Should we thus change the BBhood colour as well, or come up with a new colour, for the sake of uniformity? godgoddingham 333 10:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My reasoning for changing the Guru color is that according to the guidelines of WP:BIGBRO the yellow color is used for a housemate when they can't nominate or be nominated for eviction. Since a Guru can't be nominated for eviction and can't nominate from what I have read the yellow color follows the guidelines. The "Big Brotherhood" from BB7 should be yellow also while the "Not in Big Brotherhood" should be the grey color because they can't nominate but they face eviction. At least that's what I get when I read/watch the episodes and read about what is going on in the house. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 11:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Alucard on that. John Hayes - On Vacationtalk 13:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I say we go back to BB5 and change the "Sergeant in task" to yellow since those housemates couldn't nominate and were save from eviction and change the "Private in task" to the shade of grey that is used for "No nominations" since they mean the same thing. Same with the "Big Brotherhood" task in BB7 change everyone who was in "Big Brotherhood" to yellow and change everyone who wasn't in BBhood to the shade of grey used for "No nominations". That should make the articles uniform with each other plus utilize the guidelines of WP:BIGBRO. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree wholeheartedly. Also, I'm going to change the table to read "Body Gurus" instead of "Body Guru" for the twins if that's ok... T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 04:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Surely this shouldn't be the same colour as "walked" 12bigbrother12 03:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Charley's Fake eviction colour 

message: On the nominations table, the "Nominations note" is also being used for eviction notes. Such as this week with the double eviction. Could this be renamed or something else? Or even a different row...? I know it's only a small thing -- Halo2 Talk 19:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Nomination/eviction note" would be better then. It used to say "twist" but they weren't all twists so I had it changed, but couldn't think of anything better than "note", so if anyone can think if anything better than that, it'll be good too. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's better. And i've changed it. -- Halo2 Talk 20:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be better if it said Twists/Notes because that would cover everything from twists, nomination notes, and eviction notes. This should be the standard across all BB articles I think. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 20:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I apologise for archiving this, (I thought it was over and ) I didn't realise someone had changed it back. I agree that it shouldn't be used. There is no need for it really, if you have to scroll down, then you have to scroll down. It keeps it neat with the references like they are, I personally think that scrolling the references looks a bit tacky. -- Halo2 Talk 00:39, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering why isn't the "evicted" colour for the summary table (at the top of the page), which is #FFC0CB, the same as the colour for evicted on the nominations table, which is #FA8072? The rest of the colours match... -- Halo2 Talk 02:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I left the eviction color a very lighter version of the one used on the table because it would have been hard to read with #FA8072.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But I thought it was to be uniform across all the BB articles? I don't really think that it's that hard to read. Do you? -- Halo2 Talk 00:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is but the reason I left the eviction color a lighter shade of what is used in the Nomination/Voting Tables is because the darker color was hard to read when names are linked plus it made the infoboxes look really bad. The rest of the colors are uniform and match the tables. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 01:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I have failed the article. A lot of work needs to be done before it gets anywhere near GA. More third party sources are needed, some things don't have sources at all and the article isn't stable. Some references aren't properly formatted. There's so much work needed here.

replies: text: Confirmed by the Star? That is not confirmation, that is press tittle tattle. Appearing on magazine covers does not warrant notablity. Also, I think we should wait until the deletion discussion regarding Charley is over. --UpDown 17:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The Daily Star is not the most reliable of sources. And even if she has appeared on some magazine covers, she needs to be notable for something other than Big Brother. John Hayestalk 21:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

text: WP:REALITY has been rejected by the Wikipedia community, and there is not a guideline. If she does apppear on Strictly Come Dancing I would argue she is notable. But we are a crystal ball, so we can't make a page or keep an existing one because they might become notable. --UpDown 17:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I am aware that there has been some opposition to the use of the Ch4 Big Brother website as a source, so I've replaced all of the uses of that with other sites. Whilst doing that, I've noticed that http://www.channel4sales.com and some Channel 4 TV programmes are also cited. Should these be removed as well or would they be considered acceptable? One thing to bear in mind is that the launch show particularly contains a lot of information about the layout of the House and it may be difficult to find other sources that discuss this in as much depth as what was shown on the programme.
