We need the name of the artist. I need to add it. OK
To the original poster, you really should sign your posts. If you don't know how, you can by simply using the ~ key 4 times in a row at the end of your posts. Its the tilde symbol, and on most standard keyboards, its right below the Esc key. Aidensdaddy2k9 ( talk) 18:14, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
People who give date of birth for contestant please give s source for their information. There are people who like to put false information on wikipedia, for example here which appears to be made up by checking a few known sources. Without sources it can be difficult to determine if any specific piece of information is accurate or not. Although in past season they did give date of birth for Top 10/12/13 finalists, but they don't for those who are not finalists, so don't put down any birthday date without a source for those whose birthday was not mentioned on the show. The information gets pass around the internet because many websites use wikipedia as a source, so please make sure they are correct. There are also no sources for the dates of birth for semifinalists for some past seasons, and I am considering deleting those because it is hard to know if they are made up or not.

General dates have all been sourced, if reliable sources are found giving the exact dates, they would be welcome. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 02:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
FYI, worth checking out. Sportfan5000 ( talk) 00:40, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
The Article herein mentions new voting via Facebook and Google Search but does not explain how that is done. I wondered and so followed the links provided in the Article here, to find out: "“Google Voting” will pop up on the Google search page whenever fans search Idol-related terms, allowing them to place up to 50 votes with the click of a mouse — prior to the voting period ending at 10am PT on Thursdays. (Check out the sample screengrab below to see the format/layout of the Google Voting interface.)" — I guess that is enough for others to also follow that path, if they really want to know. What does Facebook do to facilitate voting? — Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 18:48, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
Will people please stop putting fans getting upset over elimination down as a controversy? It happens every year, and they are not controversial. Controversy requires that something be actually controversial and something widely reported in reliable news sites. Jessica Sanchez said she didn't watch the show much then complained about Malaya's elimination (she appeared only to have heard that Malaya was doing "awesome"), putting her "opinion" in this page is just inviting mockery. And JLo looked upset every week at eliminated contestant, how is that controversial? Fans getting upset is not controversial, and every week there are upset fans. Hzh ( talk) 21:47, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
What happened with the results today? I know that this is a public site and that entries can be entered or edited at any given time by generally anybody. But this afternoon, I looked up the results for the top 6, which airs this week of April 23rd and 24th. (And I did so only to look up the names of one of the songs performed, not expecting to see early results.) And at that time, it had already listed who was eliminated when the show has not even aired yet. Though I am not sure if it airs over in other countries at some point, but they do not record the show live in Hollywood California until around 6pm Pacific Daylight Time. And the results that I saw, showed Alex Preston being in the bottom 2, and CJ Harris being eliminated, and they were posted at about 11 AM Pacific Time. Who posted these results early? I mentioned the posted results on American Idol's Facebook page, and moments later, they were changed. Whoever posted them early, whether you did it out of opinion, by guessing, or somehow had this information early, (though I cannot see how you could) you were wrong in doing so. Just sayin.

Thanks. That's kind of what I thought. As far as editing is concerned, I can edit standard text, lines, or paragraphs on the articles. But if its within a table, such as the ones that list when they're eliminated, and the table graph showing the results per each week, I will leave that to the pros on this site. I haven't mastered fixing those yet. Aidensdaddy2k9 ( talk) 00:43, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

What are the sources for the DVR ratings? The table needs to be filled out — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.211.118 ( talk) 20:41, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
In the Ratings section, there is a long list of CS1 errors in the references in the table. Can somebody fix those errors? Paul Badillo ( talk) 00:06, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
I would ask anyone who want to add content to the controversy section please understand what controversy means. You need good coverage of the issue concerned, and the issue needs to have controversial elements that provoke strong (usually negative) reactions in the viewing public or in the media.
