[edit] gladiatiors and the game

There should be a description of the challenges faced by contestents on this page and the list of gladiators throughout the seasons should be on a seperate pageJesus On Wheels 14:54, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Defunct

I, like an easy 99% of Wikipedian users, came to this article looking for the Roman Gladiator entry, I think having a short lived television show taking the main page is a moot concept and quite annoying considering most people would be coming for Gladiators (proper). Perhaps we should setup Gladiators_(tv_show) may be the best method of avoiding this confusion? Jachin 21:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Not at all. The show was hardly "short lived" (it ran for 7-8 years at least). This page is fine as it stands, the other article is under another heading and a note is made for it here. That's enough! 74.65.39.59 20:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Jachin where did your 99% come from?? A guess on your part I bet, nothing factual! 205.188.116.72 23:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

For common nouns, always search for the singular. It's all there at gladiator.--Shantavira 17:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Mix-up?

After watching a repeat on Challenge, I saw the gladiator Nightshade fall awkwardly and hurt her neck on the game, "Tilt". However, it says she left for another reason, and Panther was the one who fell in "Tilt". Could someone please clarify this for me? WhoIzzet 16:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Gladly, Nightshade was not injured on Tilt badly. Nightshade caught an illness whilst filming in Australia as part of the Ashes series, and was never the same afterwards. In 1996 she was simply too ill to carry on. Panther however was injured quite badly on Tilt, but carried on as part of the show regardless.

[edit] Quality

This is a pretty terrible article. Spelling/grammar errors, weasel words, author's POV throughout. I suggest it's tagged at least for cleanup.

I suggest whoever posted this sign their comment! It easily shows when comments are posted. Thanks. Goldbringer 19:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

This article is giving War and Peace a run for its money. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.69.160.1 (talk) 15:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Additions and Revisions

Please do not change this page unless discussing it first. I have just had to replace all pictures which takes a huge amount of time. The images add to the article and are a important part of it. Many Thanks GladFanJ 12:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bloat

This article is both bloated and, to a fair extent, a mess.

In particular, there's no real reason that the list of gladiators should be as it is rather than a simple table. I've redone it as such at Talk:Gladiators/rewrite. The only question is whether we want to keep the images, and if so, how. (Yes, I have told GladFanJ he/she/it doesn't own the article, but thought I'd hold back a bit anyway.)

No doubt the "Gladiators Series and Shows" section could be made more concise as well, but that's another piece of work. -- Smjg 13:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I've put the pictures back in the rewrite using galleries. Please let me know what you think. -- Smjg 21:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
