[edit] "Instrumental" week

I'm not sure "Instrumental" is an accurate description of Week 6, as it implies that the songs were performed without vocals. I'm not sure what to suggest as a more appropriate description. Cnwb 11:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd probably choose "Idol's Choice" for that category instead. Jessica and Ricky didn't play a musical instrument anyway (unless you assume the voice is an instrument!). RaNdOm26 15:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice to meet you wasn't laughed at by the judges!! They thought it was really good... looks like vandalism to me, someone should compare this versio to previos versions of the article

Found the version that was changed, and have reverted it. RaNdOm26 03:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birth Place

Dean was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, not Pretoria. It even says Johannesburg on the Australian Idol offical website. I changed the bit in the "Background" where it said Pretoria but I don't know how to edit the other bits. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to write here, just thought I'd let you know so someone could fix it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MandyJane123 (talk • contribs) 04:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC).

Anyone can edit, that's the whole point :) If it's wrong just change it, and preferably say where you got it from, just put [http://the.address.you/got/it.from] like that after it so it is sourced. For this purpose I would say anything on any of the major newspaper websites or on Australian Idol's website could be used. DanielT5 14:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Edits

I snipped a lot of stuff from this article on 9 February, it seems to have come back so I fixed it again. This is meant to be an encyclopaedia. Comments on his alleged sexuality, VCE score, and any number of other unproven or undocumented elsewhere things should not be in a Wikipedia entry, they should be on a myspace or blog... Please raise stuff here if you want to add it back. DanielT5 13:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I read a Smash Hits article saying he used to turn to prostitute himself for cash. I don't believe it but someone can add it if they want SilverNightFire 10:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

much as it would be fun if it were true, Wikipedia is not about spreading rumours, but if you have the edition number/date and page of this article i dont see why it couldnt go in, smash hits is a very widely read mag DanielT5 13:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Um...just incase you guys were wondering...Dean is VERY Christian and doesn't believe in sex out of marriage... Monique Lee M 01:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

As if that was in Smash Hits. And it's not true. ^ Person above me is right. 220.240.139.68 06:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you...I'm not all creepy 'bout him...love the Pop/Rock genre...but I don't think the people that don't like Dean have a right to poke fun at him... Monique Lee M 01:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Deangeyer-ifyoudontmeanit.jpg

Image:Deangeyer-ifyoudontmeanit.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
