[edit] Deal or no deal
Lonesome Cowboy 3.38am 2 June 2007 Hi, I to would like to ask the same question as Spikeyshedster. I notice that thesecretcastle.com is not a suitable external link for the DOND uk wiki entry. I am new to the wiki as well and cant believe that you just delete an update without an explanation as to why it is not suitable.
Spikeyshedster 18:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Hi I notice that thesecretshed.com is not seen as a suitable external link for the dond uk wiki entry. As you made this decision I thought I would check to see why is this? Sorry if this is not the place to ask but as this says talk: I guess its ok... Additionally I would also be curious as to why it is acceptable to just delete without any real justification. I am new to wiki but I cant accept that the way things work is that people just go around deleting updates just because they feel like it!
Spikeyshedster 19:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC) As you managed to delete my update in less than an hour and it has now been nearly two hours since I asked you to explain your actions I am assuming you have no real answer for your actions. Thesecretshed.com is a site which features deal or no deal heavily and is just as relevant as the other links which have been allowed. I am going to put it back in until you can reply to my simple request.
Hi - I notice you've done a number of edits to the page Deal or No Deal (UK game show). I'm a bit concerned at the way the article is put together, and have added some tags to the top of the page and put a comment in the talk page. As I'm not an expert on the subject, and have not had anything to do with putting it together, I'd quite like the opinion of those that have, if you could spare a moment or two. Thanks. --John24601 16:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I quite agree. Essentially almost all of the 'Special Changes' and 'The Banker' sections probably need to go, and while I recently got rid of most of the clutter in the 'Viewer phone-in' section, in fact there really only needs to be sentence to mention that the competition exists at all. It is a tricky thing with the references though - a lot of stuff that really needs to be in the article isn't going to have a source aside from having been on the programme. However, I'm not really an experienced Wikipedia-doing-person (I don't even know if I'm meant to reply to this here, or on your talk page, or what) so I'm reluctant to delete large swaths of articles, especially since I can imagine the inevitable outcry now.--PaulTaylor 17:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- I don't mind if people reply here or on my own talk page, although some editors prefer you to reply on their page. I'm of very much the same opinion, if you see my comment at Talk:Deal or No Deal (UK game show), but am also reluctant to step in and delete due to the controversy it's likely to create, I don't want to end up locked in an edit war. Perhaps for now if you could just place a comment on the talk page below mine, and we'll see where the discussion heads over the next few days before deciding what to do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John24601 (talk • contribs) 18:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC).
- You could always do what I did the last time the cry of 'fancruft' went up, and stick the affected content on this link http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Deal_or_No_Deal_%28UK%29 . It's kind of a fanwiki, so it could be linked to as an external site, that way the info is still available, but not here. Elcondor 14:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
