This is just wrong! Why is the freakin template template protected? I made it! If it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be a friggin tempate to protect! The person who did it, did it wrong. And they are missing people! Wake up, whoever! Please resolve this. Sorry about the explosion. I'm really mad. Sorry. StarbuckDude 10:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)StarbuckDude

Template was protected by User:Blynguyen after I asked for his help because the template was the subject of much vandalism by an anonymous user. Just because you made the template doesn't mean you "own" it - if others want to improve it they may. If names need to be added you are welcome to put them here and I will add them in. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:00, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

You/I cannot make pages for the ones that were deleted... they were deleted for a reason and should not be resurrected. I will add the others into the template. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

and Kathy Hoxit. why were they deleted? StarbuckDudeStarbucksDude

They were deleted because they do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Many of the others may also be deleted in the future, so I am considering removing the contestants from the template completely... links to the contestants can easily be found on the article for each cycle. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow. I've seen several stubs which are shorter than this template, but since there's very little I can do directly about that matter, can we at least get the Cycle 6 winner Danielle Evans in bold? Thanks! — ArkansasTraveler 17:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I want control back, thank you. StarbuckDude 04:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)StarbucksDude

[edit] template is needlessly long

This template is longer than many of the articles it's on. There's no need to make the template a List article unto itself - we don't need a link to every single model's article, especially now that many of them have been deleted. wikipediatrix 18:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed that up drastically. Since each cycle has a list of that particular cycle's contestants, I removed all non-winners from the template while referring readers to the individual cycle pages for more details. If anyone else has better ideas on how to handle this, feel free to take a crack at it. I won't be offended. — ArkansasTraveler 18:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
