[edit] Picture quality

The technology that allows high-quality pictures to be transmitted halfway around the world would once have been considered groundbreaking but is now taken for granted.

Is this really necessary? TMC1221 23:54, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
Nowhere near vandalism (referring to your edit summary) - but it seems a little out of place. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:06, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Maybe not 100% on topic, but it just struck me that here's this fantastic technology that everyone takes for granted nowadays and all they can think to use it for is some dumb game show. Gah. Lee M 02:20, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Not an encyclopedic statement, also not really the place for such a statement. TMC1221 02:53, Feb 7, 2004 (UTC)
I wouldn't say unencyclopedic, it is a true statement, just that the natural article for it would be history of television#live satellite rather than this specific show. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 09:01, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
It is true, it is verifiable, it is NPOV, but it is not Wikipedia:Informative, in addition to being out of place. TMC1221 20:24, Feb 7, 2004 (UTC)
Nowhere near vandalism I realize that, I was just at a loss for words and I guess I chose poorly. TMC1221 02:53, Feb 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Globality

Given how quickly Pop Idol and Who wants to be a millionaire? spread around the world, I doubt that this programme, which has a similar feel to it, is limited to only the UK, US and Germany. Anyone know if its on elsewhere? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 17:02, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Only France has since launched it, but that's because of similarities to Survivor. Digifiend 10:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
The show was also shown in The Netherlands (in 2004 and 2005 if I'm not mistaken) see the official site (in Dutch) here I've added this. Uhro87 08:54, 8 Oct 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

ive no idea how to do them so im putting this here...there needs to be more redirects...i didnt know this article existed until i saw there was a link from it on george bests page. it needs some sort of redirect for someone searching "im a celebrity" at the very least. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.0.224.126 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-27 19:50:18.

See Wikipedia:Tutorial, and in particular WP:R. There are already heaps of redirects for this page, and searching for "I'm a Celebrity" will show you many of them. I've added two more (by creating the article and putting "#REDIRECT [[I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!]]" as the content. When you leave comments on pages remember to sign them using four tildes, ~~~~. Thanks/wangi 20:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Survivor court case

Any link to the outcome of this case? The Survivor article says I'm a celeb won it.--Shtove 15:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red button

I added a quick explanation of the 'red-button', I live in the UK and I had to think for a few seconds what it was on about, I'm sure international readers wouldnt have had a clue! 87.127.25.131 14:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a quick note

The names I just put on were expressly mentioned on the Phil and Fern show yesterday and are also rumoured to be on the show just like the others. They are all rumours at this point in time. We wont actually know who is going into the jungle for another few days, so either we should leave all these people on the page for now or take them any or all speculation off til the actual announcements are made.

Remove them all, rumours don't meet WP:RS, and neither do "teasers" (what ever that might be). Remember Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Thanks/wangi 16:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
However consider WP:RS - two of the names have references and these refs are from a reliable source (I think). /wangi 16:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remote crocodile Lies?

"Marksmen were shown ready to shoot the animals if they attacked. It was later revealed that the crocodiles were man-made and moved by remote control by Ant and Dec" Where was this later revealed? Last I heard was that it was film of real crocodiles shot separately interspersed with the footage of annoying Sheila Ferguson scrambling in that mud pool.

[edit] Days of the week.

Just a quick question to Wangi. Why did you get rid of the days of the week? Those have been there for years now, and also are needed there. I did check the link you gave but I couldn't find out where you got the idea that they should be taken off. I present to you a part of the page where it states that the weekdays can be added but not linked to,

Partial dates If the date does not contain both a month and a day, date preferences do not apply: linking or not linking the date will make no difference to the text that the reader sees. So when considering whether such a date should be linked or not, editors should take into account the usual considerations about links, including the recommendations of Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context.

There is consensus among editors that bare month and day names should not be linked unless there is a specific reason that the link will help the reader to understand the article. There is less agreement about links to years. Some editors believe that links to years are generally useful to establish context for the article. Others believe that links to years are rarely useful to the reader and reduce the readability of the text. Another possibility is to link to a more specific article about that year, for example 2006, although some people find this unintuitive because the link leads to an unexpected destination.

Examples of links which do not respond to readers’ date preferences:

Year only: 1974 → 1974. Month only: April → April. Generally should not be linked. Century: 20th century → 20th century. Decade: 1970s → 1970s. Year and month: April 1974 → April 1974. Recent year and month: April 2000 → April 2000. Currently articles only exist for combinations from the year 1999 to the present.

Day of the week (with or without other date elements): Tuesday → Tuesday. Generally should not be linked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.12.169 (talk) 2006-11-19T19:19:32

Missed this. The days of the week do not add anything, and the partial dates need formatting properly so they are displayed according to each users preferences - they were not before, and are now. Thanks/wangi 13:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Compare the the two following formatted ranges for the 1st series:
Due to my date preferences these are shown like:
  • (8 contestants, Monday August 25 - Sunday 2002-09-08)
  • 8 contestants, 2002-08-25 - 2002-09-08:

[edit] Citations Desperately Needed!

The above says it all. Fin. (Willieboyisaloser 17:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] More In-Depth This Year

Could we cover this year's series more in-depth, a bit like this year's Big Brother series. Jinxed - talk 22:02, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bushtucker Trials for Series 7?

Do we really need a extensive list for the Bushtucker Trials for series 7? There are no mention of Bushtucker Trials for Series 1-6? Why should we have Bushtucker trial recaps if they are not mirrored in the other series? Strictly Come Dancing does it, but posters have been updating the page for a few years now.?-- 69.90.207.148 (talk) 21:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Samusek2

  • I don't think we should do it as it would look bad because none of the other series have it. However if we are going to do it we should do it right with a table. I'm all for editing it (but my preference it that we don't have it!)---- Hiltonhampton (talk) 22:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I think we should, because it gives more information about the series - why shouldn't we do it just because we didn't do it in the last series? Jinxed - talk 21:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Because it gives the impression that the other series didn't have trials--Hiltonhampton (talk) 19:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
        • Keep it because it doesnt give the impression that the other series didn't have trials at all____In23065 (talk) 19:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
          • But all the series need to be equal to the previous series just like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice. That is what the administrators would say. Maybe we should ask one to find out what to do, before getting into an argument. 69.90.207.148 (talk) 21:36, 21 November 2007 (UTC) samusek2

[edit] Query over title format

Just curious as to why the title format is "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here..."? Surely it would be better to be in the format "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"? The IMDb and tv.com have it in the latter style. If the title format should remain the way it is now, some article re-directs need to be fixed. -TonyW (talk) 15:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I have never seen it with the three "..." after "celebrity" and "here" , It should definitely have a "!" at the end of "here" because that is how it appears in the title sequence. I also think "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" would be better. 12bigbrother12 (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
The Official Title is I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! However Sky and teletext call it I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here...
No I think your mistaken. Sky call it I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out..., because they can't fit all of it in the box. I think we should call it I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!--Hiltonhampton (talk) 13:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure we need the three ... after Celebrity even though Sky appear to include it. Surely a comma will suffice? -TonyW (talk) 18:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
No I think that the ... in the middle is fine but not at the end.
In that case, I've begun the process of fixing I'm a Celebrity links on articles and relevant re-directs to make sure they point to the right page. Hiltonhampton, perhaps you could fix the link on your user page, please? ;) - TonyW (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

All done! Need anything else, don't hesitate to ask!--Hiltonhampton (talk) 18:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch

Do you think we should try and cover some of the Dutch versions?--Hiltonhampton (talk) 19:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

No, as there have not been any versions of I'm A Celebrity in Holland. There was a similar show called Bobo's in the Bush, but this was a different format that the broadcaster obtained from Endemol. Worldofbb (talk) 20:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
But in the main intro it states that as the Dutch version of the show.--Hiltonhampton (talk) 21:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bustucker Trials

Should we still record the trials that the public don't vote for--Hiltonhampton (talk) 22:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)?

Also why is the table for the trials yellow?--Hiltonhampton (talk) 19:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:ITVCelebrity.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.

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.
