Should the spoiler go at the top? People who are watching the channel 4 shows won't know that George has left. Ellisjm 21:45 UTC 30 May 06
I'm pretty sure that the swear-word Pete says that gets blanked out would be 'C*nt', because C4 don't bleep out 'F*ck' after 9:00pm

Although, interestingly enough, while they don't bleep out 'f*ck' after 9:00pm, they DO bleep it out when used in the context of 'motherf*cker'. Odd, no?
We really have to be careful about how extensive this article becomes. It's already over 30kb, and it's already giving the "...This may be longer than is preferable..." message when editing. What do people think? Should we split the articles into further subpages or leave it as it is? We're only half way through the second week (of 13), and the chronology is just about as long as the whole of the chronology for BB6. — FireFox user talk 13:02, 31 May '06
Ooh, I have an idea. Hows about we put the Chronology on its own page..? I know, its a wild idea, and it'll never work, but heck, hows about we give it a go, ey? JD 19:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I think it'll needlessly fragment the article, and we don't actually need all that chronology. We should cut it down to size. -- cds (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I've cut back much information - I'd appreciate rather than start an edit war if people say if they think certain bits should be returned. ;) -- cds (talk) 23:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, will do... Ellisjm 23:24 UTC 31 May 06
I have started a full, detailed version of the chronology at Big Brother 7 chronology. This will provide detailed accounts of each day, but the main article should be short and to the point... Ellisjm 23:41 UTC 31 May 06
Now, usually, I'd just Be Bold and do it, but seeing as this article seems to be quite contentious, lets discuss it here first.
Recently, I've noticed that the article naming is wrong. The name of the series is "Big Brother series 7", so that should be the title of the article. However, there are many different Big Brother series, many with articles on WP. So, the naming conventions call for a unique identifier in parenthesis. As such, I think that each series should be renamed to Big Brother series 7 (United Kingdom), Big Brother series 6 (United Kingdom) ...etc.
What does everyone else think? Regards, -- Cel es tianpower háblame 09:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
This template labels the series' as Series: 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006, whereas the articles are named 1–7. I think this would potentially be highly confusing for somebody who hadn't read the BB articles before. — FireFox user talk 10:13, 02 June '06
I know theres a drive to have sources cited here, but Q102 are notoriously slow at updating their website (the morning show section barely mentions Sue Carter, who is the current holder of the ticket they found, as even presenting the show she has both worked on and produced for at least two years), but they -did- find one of the golden tickets among the >10,000 tickets they purchased on a trip to the UK which was funded by Stena Line and a Dublin Peugeot dealers called Mongey Plunkett. As a regular listener to Q102, and on the basis that they will eventually mention it somewhere on their site, I'm willing to stake what little reputation I have on the Wikipedia that its true. There should be an Australian girl called Sue Carter amongst the hopefuls for the golden ticket place(s) in the house, and indeed, a Susan Carter who "purchased over 10,000 tickets" has appeared on the list released of known ticket holders. -- Kiand 03:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
The article refer's to Celador's Golden Ticket list - I think you meant Endemol. Digifiend 09:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Digifiend
The more the series goes on, the more good screen grabs we'll have e.c.t. I think we should start a "Big Brother 7 Gallery" page, or something to that effect. Comments??? Dalejenkins 07:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I am developing a series of Big Bro wallpapers, to post on the net. Can I use the “promotional shots” that they use on the show (the housemates faces with a white background), or would I need to seek C4’s permission? Dalejenkins
Would it be possible to have the list in alphabetical order rather than in the order they entered the house? It's been bugging me for ages, and also I just noticed the BB6 page has the housemates listed in alphabetical order, so having them the same would be kind of good. Sweetie Petie 23:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't the housemates be put alphabetically by surnames?? Ellisjm 17:32 UTC 5 June 06
Looking at the article, having the housemates listed alphabetically looked strange at first but having got used to it I think it was the right thing to do. I do think that the info box should be listed in house-entry order though. Celardore 18:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I can't remember what her age is supposed to be but in yesterday's highlights show she said she was 36, then later when Richard said she was 38, she said she was 35. On last night's E4 live coverage, she said to Nikki, "I'm 15, er, 11 years older than you". Just wanted to point that out. Sweetie Petie 15:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I think everyone is confused about leas age, on the show the narrator says shes 36, her channel4 profile says 35 most (if not all) or the channel4 big bro news articles say shes 36- shall we just take a guess?
What's happened to Nikki's E? In several newspapers and other media, she's called Nikki GRAHAME [5], and the C4 website doesn't list her second name. She does appear as GRAHAME on several other websites.-- Escaper7 16:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a new picture of sezer after the vote was revealed. Classic! Dalejenkins 15:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I've rewritten the template almost entirely using wikisyntax rather than a mixture. This makes it futureproof, and less likely to break the page. Let me know if anyone sees any bugs. -- 9 cds (talk) 16:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe it will help progress this article if a more understanding approach is adopted. At least 2 contributors to my knowledge have been alienated, and perhaps due to some heavy-handedness the chronology is now somewhat patchy and out-of-date. Should it be removed as not adding much?-- luke 05:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
User's who don't like sezer's pic, please don't change it as we agreed a few pointers up that it was better than the previous on! Dalejenkins 07:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I changed Sezers pic from the 'eviction face' to the previously used picture for a couple of reasons.
I won't revert the image yet, but I would also like to repeat an earlier comment of mine that housemate images should be rotated semi-reguarly to 'freshen up' or avoid stagnation in the article.
I also feel that the objection to any change of the image to be against WP:OWN. Kind regards, Celardore 17:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
my 2c: Sezer's photo should be of him in a neutral pose. aLii 21:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
How is the link provided in the title sequence illegal? Please explain. Dalejenkins 07:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
It comes to my attention that if I search (well hit "Go" rather) and I have "Big Brother 7" typed in, that it takes me here via redirect. I'm not sure, and I should probably be bold, but with the U.S. having its Big Brother 7, should I just make "Big Brother 7" redirect to Big Brother (TV series)? FireSpike 17:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
All the other ones however redirect to Big Brother (TV series). Should I redirect to there just to keep things uniform? FireSpike 19:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
When I was updating the article with images added, it must have only uploaded part of the article (I blame my internet). Sections like criticism are gone now. If someone could fix this, without a revert [images took me ages to add] that would be great thanks. I'd have a go but I really must go out now, sorry for the trouble.
