Fansites a no in External Links
Ever since I have became an editor on Wikipedia (I have been on for 3 years now) I have come to understand fansites are a no. W99 keeps adding bbuk9 dot com Big Brother Series 9 Website after myself and other editors remove it. This website isn't permitted in the external links. One it is a fansite and fansites are a no, second the site links to another site that has a list of past BBUK series for download, third this site has posts linking to full episodes of the highlights shows for BB9 UK on YouTube. By even linking to another site that hosts links to download past episodes and embedding YouTube videos of copyrighted material it violates Wikipedia rules as the site infringes upon Channel 4's copyright. I am pretty sure that if sites that actually report on Big Brother and doesn't violate C4's copyright like BBSpy (and its American counterpart) and Inside Big Brother aren't allowed then bbuk9 dot com Big Brother Series 9 Website isn't allowed either. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

HOH Row IN Nominations Table
Should it be there? It seems as deleted? --BigOz22 (talk) 02:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- As a standard with articles that have an HoH it should be there, I think someone removed it a while back but it should be there as a standard and shouldn't be removed without a discussion. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 20:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
i think it should be added back 82.40.213.142 (talk) 16:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Infobox
Soemobyd vandalised the Infobox trying to make that kathreya was EJECTEd (which she di dnot)
However, when I tried to fix it it said soembody made changes, so I continues making a whole mess, soryr, but I just don't want to bother fixing it AGAIN. --BigOz22 (talk) 20:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Stuart
Can somebody give a clear reference that Stuart has been ejected? PatGallacher (talk) 20:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- He hasn't been removed :) 12bigbrother12 20:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12bigbrother12 (talk • contribs)
Please remember to put at the end of NOTES in Nomination Table!
It's getting on my nerves now, really, It came to my attention that ANYONE who adds a new NOTE at the end of NOmination Table section, the person ALWAYS forgets to put </small> at the end making anything bellow automatically SMALLER including the EDIT link (to edit the section) and anything else. --BigOz22 (talk) 23:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Weekly Summary
The Weekly Summary section was becoming massive so I have split it off, as happened last year, in to a separate article. If you have this page on your watchlist may I suggest adding Big Brother 2008 (UK) Weekly Summary as well. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:31, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Nomination Totals
These are not correct. It states that Stuart only has 8, whereas he has had more than that. Same with Rachel. I dont think the recent round of nominations have been added. This should be changed please. 82.40.213.142 (talk) 21:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Inaccuracy in Head of House section
There is an innaccuracy in the head of house section. Rachel did not decide who would be head of house, the housemates from hell did. Nicole anMichael wanted it, but Michael said no as she had only been in the house a week. kathreya did not want to be head of house and voted for michael. All rachel was required to do was to confirm to big brother the hell housemates decision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.20.176 (talk) 14:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Daily Ratings Section
I think as long as it will not be updated we should either hide it or completly removed.
It's Week 11 and it's still not updated :|. --BigOz22 (talk) 22:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Feel free to hide it for now, or code a collapse on it. Darrenhusted (talk)
Final two weeks
From what has been released Wednesday will be a double eviction, followed by single eviction on Friday followed by surprise eviction on next Tuesday then the final vote. This may lead to a rash of people changing the tables every day. Be vigilant. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:19, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Since there were no nominations this week, the Wednsday Task could determine the 2 nominees for Friday, and a suprise mid-week eviction for 1 or 2 housemates, which could make then the finale with 5 to 6 people. --BigOz22 (talk) 13:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- From what I have read they are evicting 4 housemates in the next seven days, leaving four in the final four days. Darrenhusted (talk) 13:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- This is not a forum, go to a fan site to discuss the programme. We discuss the content of the article here. Dalejenkins | 16:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
And those are not forum comments, if I was guessing who to win or who will be evicted then those would be forum comments, those are comments discussing what changes may be made to the article in the next week, and what to watch out for because vandals will keep adding false information. Darrenhusted (talk) 08:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC) This has been recorrected. Tbh-icba (talk) 19:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Nominations- Rachel
The nominations are a bit wrong e.g. In week 12, Rachel nominated Rex and Sara. Please fix it.
Current Nomination Table
I don't like it, we don't need seperate table for double eviction, we always did the mid-week eviction beacuse it shares the same votes. --BigOz22 (talk) 03:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I changed it thinking that it is an improvement. I have done a mock up of what it would look like after the final.

I haven't done the bottom part ("Evicted, % of public vote") as it is late and I need sleep. But you get the general idea. If most people dislike the idea, then by all means, revert it on the main page 12bigbrother12 04:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I've reverted it already. Dalejenkins | 08:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Kat's Percentage - Out of 6 or Out of 7?
Suerly its out of 7, as the lines were frozen and the vote count taken at the same time as Mo? Dalejenkins | 22:32, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- It is 100% out of 7. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Channel 4 Sources
This article cites primary sources too much, and some of these sources need to be replaced with reliable, third party sources which pass WP:RS. I suggest that only about 1/4 of the sources should be from C4 or the {{Cite episode}} template. Website I reccomend are:
- Digital Spy Big Brother Section
- The Times Big Brother Blog
- The Guardian Big Brother Section
- Heat Magazine Big Brother Section
- BBC Entertainment Section (use the search)
- [www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?searchPhrase=big+brother Daily Mail (Big Brother search)]
Remember to use {{Cite web}} and {{Cite news}}. I'm sure we can all do it together :) Dalejenkins | 20:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Cleanup Ahead
Need to re-tense the article... big task... ATMarsdenTalk · {Semi-Retired} 21:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- See the 2 sections above also; the first definately has to be made and the second is a possibility. Dalejenkins | 10:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Overall percentage estimates
As has become customary, I will now provide the overall percentages for the final, assuming no changes in share. This is purely a matter of interest of course, and carries little weight.
- Rachel 22.1%
- Michael 20.9%
- Sara 18.5%
- Rex 17.9%
- Darnell 13.9%
- Kathreya 4.9%
- Mohamed 1.8%
--Ross UK (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- We can't put these in the article mind, per WP:OR. Dalejenkins | 09:26, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Move back the, collapsed, Weekly Summary here?
Preview = User:Dalejenkins/BB9 Thoughts? Dalejenkins | 08:18, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, I don't think a weekly summary needs a separate article now...should the housemates section be reverted to a collapse also? db1987db (talk) 09:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. The article is already 50KB. Adding the weekly summary and housemates section will make this article too large and will go against WP:SIZE. Z1720 (talk) 16:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Larger pages are much more cumbersome to read and edit. I believe the articles should stay in their present form. TheRetroGuy (talk) 16:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like we're going to have to do this anyway if the AFD goes to delete. Dalejenkins | 14:14, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well it's now been deleted so it definitely has to be done now. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like we're going to have to do this anyway if the AFD goes to delete. Dalejenkins | 14:14, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Week 8 on nominations table
Should a number of housemates have blue boxes due to them not being put up via the regular process? And Stuart had to abdicate his HOH status that week. Livin'InAGhostTown (talk) 20:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
