[edit] Oh, the colors

Do we really need more than 2-3 colors to highlight the stats? Adding an additional color for ties was OK< but the individual colors for the Chefs are a great cause for eyestrain.--Bedford 13:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The colors make it easier to track Iron Chef wins but I guess you're right... --Destron Commander 06:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Season

There are 24 new challengers in the 3rd season, including the rematch with Roberto Donna. Someone should add it to the stats page, im not familiar with working with tables. The list of the challengers is on the food network website. There are 25 people listed, but two of them are a pair, like the Too Hot Tamales were.

[edit] Stub

I think we have enough on here to remove the "stub" status of this article. Everyone else agree?--Bedford 00:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. --SCSI Commando 07:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Throwdown

Anyone have win/loss stats on Bobby Flay's Throwdown show? David Bergan 03:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Table additions

The table should have the date each episode first aired, and instead of having a note reference every so often, it should just have a "notes" column at the end of the table to mention anything notable that happened in the episode. VegaDark 04:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can the spoiler columns be hidden?

In the list of battles, is there programming that would allow the "secret ingredient" and most especially "winner" columns to be hidden until revealed by the user? (I am thinking of the kind of feature like in the table heading of various templates [e.g., Template:AmericanMorningHosts], but applied to a column rather than the whole table [template].)

No, Wikipedia is not a spoiler free zone. Collectonian (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Rename

I'd like to suggest this article be renamed to List of Iron Chef America episodes as the bulk of the article is formed by listing of each episodes with the contestant and results. This would also bring the list more in line with the Television project and allow it to be expanded to include DVD releases and the like. Collectonian (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. AyaK (talk) 20:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree as well, but suggesting things sometimes isn't enough, you sometimes need to take the Wikipedia suggestion and Be Bold and do it DemosDemon 04:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

In addition to WP:BOLD, Help:Moving a page DemosDemon 04:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Rename is done and links updated on the articles that link to it :) Collectonian (talk) 04:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong information listed!

In season 5 episode 10 it states Cat Cora and Paula Deen won which was not the case! It was infact Tyler Florence and Robert Irvine that won! This should really be fixed in fairness to the true winners! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.174.151 (talk) 02:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Um, no, Cat and Paula won. Whether or not you agree with the decision is a matter best discussed elsewhere. Collectonian (talk) 02:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of the Masters Results?

Why was the Battle of the Masters miniseries results table removed?

The Battle of the Masters was a special episode and not really part of the main series. Its discussed in the main article. Collectonian (talk) 02:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

That's not correct; Food Network shows these episodes as part of the main series. On January 6, Food Network re-aired the Morimoto v. Puck battle (IANS03) as part of its Iron Chef America repeats for the day. The episodes are coded in the Iron Chef America series, although as season nul (zero). I don't think we should be in the position of trying to tell Food Network that it has incorrectly classified episodes as part of the Iron Chef America series. Thus, I have re-added the "Battle of the Masters" episodes to the list of episodes. - AyaK (talk) 06:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

If we want to call it part of the regular series, the amount of detail on it should be removed from the main article. I had removed it again, but I've put it back, formatting it properly and listing it as Season 0 with a paragraph intro. The other option for a header could be Pilot: Battle of the Masters. Collectonian (talk) 07:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The numbering scheme is consistent with calling it Season 0, and this seems like a good solution to me. Thanks for all your work on this. - AyaK (talk) 06:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
