September 22 there's going to be a rematch between Kely Monaco and John O'Hurley (possibly due to the controversy surrounding the fact that Kelly was working on an ABC show and was touted as the underdog all the time).

Pafcool2 19:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)== Corrected some major inaccuracies ==

There were a number of inaccuracies which I have now corrected. Many of the versions listed were not the Dancing With The Stars format at all. Dancing With The Stars [the best show evahh] is the BBC format known in the UK as Strictly Come Dancing. Of course there are other dancing shows on television around the world, but they do not belong in this article, especially as many of them could be unauthorised copies of the BBC version.

The statistic on SCD/DWTS being the most popular show in the world in 2006 comes from a report by Eurodata TV Worldwide for BBC Worldwide. RMM77RMMM

So, RMM77, What exactly is the Dancing with The Stars format and why are those other ones different?Some of those ones have been influenced and originated from the ideas on the show. Perhaps there could be some sort of influences part on the page or maybe a link to other types of dancing shows like the one's you omitted. I thinkit could be a fair thing to do if people are trying to look at this page for information on those shows.

Hi Samsuek. My previous edits (the discussion seems to have been erased now) were just to point out a simple fact. With any television format, it can only be a version of the actual format as described (in this case, it was described as a BBC format) if it is an officially licensed version. Otherwise it's just a copy - it's not a version of the show. And although I agree that people may well want to look up info on those copies, it is factually inaccurate to say that it is the same programme; that was all I was trying to point out. But I take the point that it might have a place here - it should just be more clearly defined because at present, it's not accurate unfortunately. But I'll leave this to others now as I am no longer following the different versions. Have fun! RMM77 (talk) 00:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Poland dancing

Should we make a seperate page for the Polish version as there is alot of information for it here, making this page clutered.

[edit] Canada?

Why is Canada colored in on the world map when Canada doesn't have its own version of the show? Please correct this inaccuracy. Alex 04:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1154692497.jpg

Image:1154692497.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Map update?

I've added China. Someone with the appropriate software might like to add China (including Hong Kong, not including Macao or Taiwan) to the map. Matt's talk 21:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish version as model

The spanish language version looks cleaner and more organized than the english version. this might be a good model to emulate here. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailando_con_las_estrellas 76.88.44.229 (talk) 06:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
