Thursday 5th June
Should we be really saying that BB9 will start on the 5th of June. In23065 (talk) 09:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
It has been reported on Digital Spy. Yes, it could change but until then, the post on the article reads "rumoured". Why you keep reverting it who knows seeing as its a sourced article. It was also reported in The Mirror on the same day. 172.159.137.205 (talk) 10:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Digital Spy Reported on the mirror and have not actually reported it as their own story. I suggest until it has been officially confirmed that you leave it. In23065 (talk) 19:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
And i suggest you be the one who leave it. You've been reported for your constant reverts. You don't rule this site you know. Any information that has a source should be left on the appropriate page UNTIL it is proved otherwise - and seeing as you have no source yet... 172.213.250.215 (talk) 21:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Dunno, The Daily Star seems to think it is done and dusted. Don't care for weasel words like rumoured though. Please check out verifiability guidelines before entering into an all out edit war. BpEps - t@lk 21:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
We've never had rumored dates before. If your leaving dates in because they have sources then I have 17 sources all suggesting different dates.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 23:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I have removed all of the dates and if anyone feels the need to put them back in they will be reverted ASAP. In23065 (talk) 23:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Alternative dates are not a problem in Wikipedia only verifiability is. The Daily star source def classed as a verified source - can we have your 17 sources now please? BpEps - t@lk 21:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Well Star magazine has reported 6th June, The Sun has reported May, The Mirror has reported May, as have Digital Spy and The Daily Record. Also the Star isn't exactly a reliable source seen as last year they print an logo that turned out to be fan made. Now I have a lot of things going on right now so I don't have time go and get links for all of these but I hope you trust me they're true. Most importantly C4 has said May[citation needed].--Hiltonhampton (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
citation needed above has C4 commented since 5th April 2008? -- BpEps - t@lk 01:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Not to the press no but in a email to HQ. Not sure if that counts though.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 16:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
YOU ARE NOT A MOD! YOU CANNOT MAKE THAT DECISION. PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO POST ANY INFORMATION TOWARD AN ARTICLE ASLONG AS IT IS SOURCED - THEY DON'T DO IT JUST FOR YOU TO BE PETTY AND PATHETIC AND HAVE IT REVERTED, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT! 172.216.208.133 (talk) 15:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
"PETTY AND PATHETIC" says the person who edited User:In23065 YOU are petty and pathetic you little child (If anyone want to see what he did go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:In23065&diff=205343770&oldid=198639112). And you will be banned from editing soon. So good look with your tragic little life hope I dont have to speak to you again. In23065 (talk) 17:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Says the sad little WANKER who spends all his pathetic time on this pile of shite editing pages with shite HE CANNONT PROVE!!! YOU ARE A REAL WANKER! AND YOUR THE ONE WITH A SAD TRAGIC LIFE - HERE'S TO IT BEING EVEN MORE TRAGIC!!! LOSER! BOO HOO TELL EVERYONE WHAT I DID - CANT FIGHT YOUR OWN BATTLES!!! PATHETIC BABY!!
Does anyone have any suggestions in what we do with this vile person? And by the way I never told anyone to ban you they just obviously think you are as much of as idiot as I do. In23065 (talk) 23:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
God saw what he did and it looks like someone needs to chillax pronto!--Hiltonhampton (talk) 00:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Jan Hamilton
Should we include her. I don't think we should as it is mere speculation and even if she was going in she will have been told she can't now the papers have caught wind of it according to official BB rules. I have removed it.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 23:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Lock
Can we please Semi-protection this page, Semi-protection prevents edits from anonymous users (IP addresses), or from accounts which are not autoconfirmed. Due to the constant edits that go against the Wikipedia policy, I really think we need to do this. In23065 (talk) 17:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree, almost everyday info about the aunch has had to be removed or what is written in the infobox. It's getting annoying.
- I have changed it from "late May to the first week of June" to just "the first week of June" as Big Brother is listed in the Channel 4 listings for June and is not mentioned in May.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 15:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Semi-Protected for a month for now. One editor blocked indefinitely. Page is watchlisted. --Rodhullandemu 23:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I had no clue this page had this much vandalism until today. Wow for the talk page as well. I just noticed what happened today because I forgot to add this article to my watchlist due to Big Brother 9 (U.S.) but wow. I have it added now. And in a weird sense this is cool that the page was protected on my birthday. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 07:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Happy Birthday. It is also cool that the page will be come unlocked on the day of the launch. In23065 (talk) 09:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Archive Bot
I have set up a bot to archive discussions seven days old from the last comment. This will really come in handy when the season starts. Plus the {{talkheader}} will automatically update with archive page numbers. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 07:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Davina quitting?
I just noticed that Davina quitting Big Brother is included in the article. Since the source is from the unreliable tabloid News of the World isn't safe to say that is a rumor? I am sure it is and shouldn't we wait for more reputable sites to post this or wait to hear from Davina, C4/Endemol themselves. It just seems like a rumor due to the fact she is rumored to quit after every upcoming season at this point. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 16:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- It can be reworded to state "It is rumoured that..." perhaps. Al Tally (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree about removing it. Untill she confirms it, it's not officially true. Similar rumour occur EVERY year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.86.158 (talk) 22:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I heard this too on digital spy.... i so hope its not true!! :( --Mikey-is-lost (talk) 16:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Caroline Flack
I have found a source that Caroline Flack will be the presenter of BBLB [1], I am not adding the information, as the website concentrates on the Eurovision Song Contest than Big Brother. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 17:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
May 30
I log into the C4 press site everyday for current news on BB as now is normally the time they start to post things. Just logged into the C4 press site today and was presented with week 22 listings(Saturday 24 May 2008 to Friday 30 May 2008), it states, on Friday 30th May that 8:00pm as TBD(Which is the normal time the launch would start at) and 1:45am as TBA(When the all night live feed is likely to begin).
Now if C4 were to follow suit on the previous Friday (the 23rd May), they would show the next episode in the series of DEADLIEST CATCH.
Now this may be nothing, but I find it ironic that the gap between the TBD is until 10:00pm, the normal running time of launch night. And 1:45am, when the Live feed would begin.
This seems to indicate that BB won't start on June 5 after all.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 15:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Sponsorship?
Isn't Virgin Media sponsoring Big Brother but with the primary focus on their mobile brand? Wasn't it the same with Celebrity Hijack that they just decided to focus on their mobile brand. If so the article should be written as such. 01:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The official press release (which I don't have access to presently so don't ask) said that the sponsors being Virgin Mobile and that they are considering pushing some other products as well but as of now it it just Virgin Mobile. We should go by what the papers and press release are saying which is Virgin Mobile until they say otherwise.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 13:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The Article move not needed.
The article move was not needed. WP:BIGBRO has clear guidelines that the UK edition should follow the style of Big Brother 200x (UK) not Big Brother x (UK). The article should have not been moved without discussion and now is weird for the previous articles to follow the pattern while this article follows the pattern of the US naming scheme. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 23:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- And for discussion purposes one of the reasons the UK follows the naming scheme it does (if I remember right) mainly due to the celebrity edition. Channel 4's BB Archives calls CBB 2005 Celebrity Big Brother 5 despite it being third overall. The same was brought up with the 2007 series, the C4 archives, again, say the 2007 edition was the seventh CBB edition despite it being fifth overall. The UK uses years for its articles to avoid confusion. That was a big key point last time I believe. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 23:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
House pics
Should we add that house pictures have been leaked today???89.100.221.196 (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)E-To-The-Izzo
- Personally, my vote is yes, because it's relevant considering it's not a rumour, it's evidence that the previous stories about the house have been true. I think it should be added. Sky83 (talk) 20:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I've added in a description of the main features of the house, that will be enough until the the series launch.
Vandalism
Can someone semi-protect the article or something for now? Thanks Exxy (talk) 20:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Some of it has been restored, but it is missing a lot of real content that was added.Trious (talk) 20:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Can someone just fill out the housemate details from the profiles here http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/housemates/ and lock it for tonight. There'll be lots more in tomorrows papers --Tshannon0 (talk) 21:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Failed to apply?
"a round up of the previous day's events will be read by mock news reader 'Dai Davis Peach', who failed to apply for the seventh and eighth season of Big Brother."
Is this sentence correct? Perhaps it's supposed to mean "whose application for [BB7+8] failed" rather than "failed to apply"? Evercat (talk) 00:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
