[edit] Wikify!

It seems I am the only person working on this article. Because of the popularity of American Idol, and Canadian Idol, I figured this article would develop as quickly as the American Idol article did. However, that does not appear to be so. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to wikify articles, and the instructions listed in the template are not very helpful. If someone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Canadian_Idol_Fan 01:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello fellow CI fan! I think the reason why it hasn't developed as much as the American Idol article is simply because the US is a bigger country so there are a lot more people interested in AI. As for "wikifying", it simply means bringing coding and the like up to Wikipedia standard. That's only a problem for the finalists table. I'll try and do that when I get the time.

By the way, could you work on the Season Four article, and style it a bit like the American Idol Season 5 article? I'd appreciate that so much! And I'd be sure to help. Canadian_Idol_Fan 00:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • In this case, to me American Idol is so overly edited & has pointless information it really is not consistent, the way Canadian Idol is edited is great, needs a bit of work but not like US Idol.

[edit] Current Event Tag

Considering this season is currently underway, can we tag it? --WestJet 16:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

See Canadian Idol (Season 4). FellowWikipedian 00:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mystery numbers

Maybe I've missed it, but what do the 2's, 3's and 4's mean after contestants' names, eg: "2 September Love Songs Audrey de Montigny (2) Gary Beals (2)" PKT 18:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it's the number of times the contestant has appeared in the bottom three (or two). -Gemtiger 03:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
