 The Big Brother WikiProject aims to improve articles relating to Big Brother, and Pinoy Big Brother has been identified as one of these articles. Anybody can help the WikiProject by trying to improve existing articles. Please add your name to the list of participants, if you are committed to helping out.

I have to remind you that Wikipedia is a free-information online encyclopedia, not a BBS (see Wikipedia: what Wikipedia is not). So please, don't make the Pinoy Big Brother article look like an advertisment; you don't even have to include the show times. Just the bare facts will do and important info will do. And if you will include more images, make sure that they have permission from the source and is relevant to the topic, not as a cosmetic addition.

Also, please confirm your sources and info first, before you post them.

  • I have listed all the contestant files for merging. If there are going to be photographs and biographies about the Pinoy Big Brother contestants, then I suggest that we follow standard Wikipedia practice: id est, we should not have single articles for Big Brother housemates until they do something more notable than appear on a television show.

I agree with you, the contestants should be merged here. I already removed one of the images in this article. What do you think that we need to rephrase or remove in the article so that it won't look like an advertisement? --Jojit fb 00:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I already merged it, all the names of the contestants redirect here. --Jojit fb 01:21, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
You have to remind Kevin nico about this because he is the one who unknowingly "violated" the standards and just made articles and added images for cosmetic reasons. In fact, he started the "ad job" in the first place. I had to fix it! As for your question, Jojit fb, so far, none that I can see, except I have to change "Date that voted out the house" to "Date of eviction" becuse it sounded like the house was evicted.- Nanami Kamimura 09:28, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I agree with the change. BTW, Orange and Lemons is the correct spelling of that Pinoy rock band see this link. Although, I heard that they got their name from Oranges and Lemons nursery rhyme. --Jojit fb 10:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
BTW, we all have talk pages, right? So can you contact him using Kevin nico's talk page? - Nanami Kamimura 00:14, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Nanami, I already contacted Kevin regarding his (or her?) writing style. --Jojit fb 01:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

We all know that every show has to be criticized, so I've added some criticisms about the show. But these are from the Inquirer alone. Do the Philippine Star and the Manila Bulletin have articles criticizing the show, too?—Nanami Kamimura 03:20, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Some background music tracks used in the show are also based from this song... This line is vague. Please clarify what your are trying to address. 05:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)~

[edit] Housemates Own Article/Page

  • I took the liberty to create Rico Barrera his own article since he's already evicted in Pinoy Big Brother. In case he became a future actor, in which ABS-CBN promises to, at this moment I suggest Rico Barrera should not be merged with the article Pinoy Big Brother anymore.

Hope it is ok now to create individual housemates pages?Micah 17:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It depends on how much info you gather about their lives before and after their stay in the house.- 上村七美 23:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Posting Links

As a reminder, please don't change the names in the list and add links to the links list if it leads to a forum; post a link only if you think it has enough content to be a link.Nanami Kamimura 10:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About the section "Legality of the show: License and Plagiarism"

Can somebody explain why does somebody have to post that section? Is it reported? Is it known to all of us? Is it relevant to the topic? Or does one have to post this as a militant stand? For now, I decided to hide the section as it may or may not be important, but however posted the section forgot the issue of neutrality here in Wikipedia. - 上村七美 09:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Season 2

Please state your source below regarding to the information about Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 Mishee 15:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Should majority of those deserve to be even there? Howard the Duck 15:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The articles are a mess

And the categories too. THe contestants are categorized both on Category:Pinoy Big Brother and Category:Pinoy Big Brother Contestants. We should have a consensus on this. Howard the Duck 16:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Voluntary Exit = Walked; Forced Eviction = ?

We all know that because of the concensus, "Walked" is the term used for "voluntary exit." Recently, in the seventh edition of the British version, Big Brother there gave one housemate something that is the equivalent to the "forced eviction"; the term used is "ejected." Can we use "ejected" in the PBB articles? - 上村七美 | talk 12:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I know that a great majority of BBs all over use identitical rules, except for a chosen few (like the USA). --Howard the Duck 07:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pinoy Big Brother Table

Hi! Why'd you delete the Pinoy Big Brother table? While words may be better than pictures (which is true in Western setting), there are numerous researches that demonstrate that Filipinos read more if presented with pictures and summarized collective entities (such as the table). And furthermore, the table is patterned after the Big Brother (TV series) table, cuz' there will be more seasons to watch out, so information is more presented easily on such a medium. Honestly, I see nothing wrong about having the table in the article. -- User:Matthewprc

To you, there's nothing wrong. But to Howard, it is different. You have to understand that Filipinos are not the only users in the English Wikipedia. So don't just stress what is right for you. You should talk to him and have a compromise. For now, your edits will be reverted until that issue is resolved. In fact, you have the wrong info. - 上村七美 | talk 11:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm willing to have a table form if it made into an infobox, but not as extensive as those seen in the season article. You can see Big Brother (UK) for an example. --Howard the Duck 07:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
