I have found a source that Caroline Flack will be the presenter of BBLB [1], I am not adding the information, as the website concentrates on the Eurovision Song Contest than Big Brother. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 17:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I log into the C4 press site everyday for current news on BB as now is normally the time they start to post things. Just logged into the C4 press site today and was presented with week 22 listings(Saturday 24 May 2008 to Friday 30 May 2008), it states, on Friday 30th May that 8:00pm as TBD(Which is the normal time the launch would start at) and 1:45am as TBA(When the all night live feed is likely to begin).
Now if C4 were to follow suit on the previous Friday (the 23rd May), they would show the next episode in the series of DEADLIEST CATCH.
Now this may be nothing, but I find it ironic that the gap between the TBD is until 10:00pm, the normal running time of launch night. And 1:45am, when the Live feed would begin.
This seems to indicate that BB won't start on June 5 after all.-- Hiltonhampton ( talk) 15:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Isn't Virgin Media sponsoring Big Brother but with the primary focus on their mobile brand? Wasn't it the same with Celebrity Hijack that they just decided to focus on their mobile brand. If so the article should be written as such. 01:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The official press release (which I don't have access to presently so don't ask) said that the sponsors being Virgin Mobile and that they are considering pushing some other products as well but as of now it it just Virgin Mobile. We should go by what the papers and press release are saying which is Virgin Mobile until they say otherwise.-- Hiltonhampton ( talk) 13:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The article move was not needed. WP:BIGBRO has clear guidelines that the UK edition should follow the style of Big Brother 200x (UK) not Big Brother x (UK).

"a round up of the previous day's events will be read by mock news reader 'Dai Davis Peach', who failed to apply for the seventh and eighth season of Big Brother."
Is this sentence correct? Perhaps it's supposed to mean "whose application for [BB7+8] failed" rather than "failed to apply"? Evercat ( talk) 00:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Now that the article is semi-protected and the show has actually started, wouldn't it just be simpler and more effective to put Big Brother housemates back as the regular template? Geoking 66 talk 21:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

All the previous BBs have the number written out and this series needs to follow the established style. Let's keep it as Ninth Series before it descends in to lamiosity. Darrenhusted ( talk) 11:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The nominations table doesn't match the weekly summary table. It says 12 housemates passed their task. The weekly summary table doesn't say those housemates had a task. The nominations table and the summary table both say 4 housemates failed their tasks, but the ref given, [2], doesn't say that. Also, the weekly summary table says that a part of the secret task of the first 4 housemates is to "convince the other housemates that Mario is in a relationship with Stephanie." That's incorrect. They only have to prevent the 12 others from discovering that Mario and Lisa are a couple. Also, the weekly summary table doesn't mention the wedding task. -- Geniac ( talk) 16:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I think we should improve the Highlight section by making the events seperated, not like an essay, beacuse that confuses a lot. -- BigOz22 ( talk) 23:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Channel 4 is saying that Stephanie's eviction percentage is 48% [3] while BBC is saying it is 43% [4]. We need to find out which is real the Channel 4 % or the BBC % and stick with it. We don't need conflicting percentages. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 07:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I know this article is about Big Brother 2008 (UK) but since it is one of the more active Big Brother articles I am asking this question regarding references, please do yell at me or point out this article is for the ninth British edition.
CBS has confirmed that Big Brother 10 (U.S.) will have 13 housemates this season via a advertisement on their network. The advertisement has been posted on YouTube and as of right now is the only "official" source since it is a copy of the advertisement. I know in most cases that YouTube videos are not acceptable but since this is an advertisement from CBS just on YouTube can it be used as a reference until the official CBS issues an official press release? I am unsure about this and would like some input. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 06:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I am aware of the fact, that the Friday Live Show time is wrong, the show doens't start at 8:30 PM, it starts at 9:00 PM till 10:00 PM, with a half hour break, however, I am not sure how long does the second show lasts. -- BigOz22 ( talk) 15:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Someone needs to completely edit the summary, there is very little info, and it seems to be weighted in Dennis' favour. "It was later reported that Dennis and Mohamed became involved in the dispute and that, according to Mohamed, Dennis had spit on him". It's very obvious to everyone he spat in his face, and Rebecca and Kathreya certainly don't need mentioning. also, the housemates weren't interrogated by the police/solicitors, that only happened with Dennis after he'd been taken out.

Ever since I have been involved with Wikipedia, fansites should not be used as sources or placed in the "External Links" section. This includes Big Brother UK Series Nine Website which W99 keeps adding. By looking at WP:LINKSTOAVOID it falls under
Fansites including the one mentioned also falls under WP:EL#ADV and WP:EL#Restrictions on linking #1. The site Big Brother UK Series Nine Website as of July 1, 2008 @ 8:19 ET contains a link so people can download/view past Big Brother series which infringes on Channel Four Television Corporation's copyrights. So by all of this fansites and this site Big Brother UK Series Nine Website should not be allowed in the "External Links" section. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 00:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I removed this content from the controversy section:
"On Day 30, Jennifer was evicted from the house after reports from all over the country that Rex' eviction line had been not working citation needed. This has resulted in numerous online petitions from fans to return her to the house."
This is a controversial statement that is likely to be challenged, so I looked through many newspapers from the UK, including ones that have been sourced in the article, and could not find a single reference to the above incident. Therefore, until someone can verify the information, this content should not be included in the encyclopedia. Z1720 ( talk) 05:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I was unaware that we needed to have a discussion about the new C-Class classification on the quality scale. (( Other WikiProject responses) So my question is should we (WP:Big Brother) adopt this new classification? I think so since now B-Class has had its requirements tightened and I had demote 11 former B-Class articles to C-Class due to the new change. Also this means that some of the Start/Stub articles could move up to C-Class classification as well. Since I kinda implimented this without a proper discussion you can see which articles I had to demote from B-Class and why and from my understanding articles that moved up to C-Class. So after explaining my mistake, my question is should we continue with C-Class or just keep A-Class, FA-Class, B-Class, Start-Class, and Stub-Class?

I have found a source that Caroline Flack will be the presenter of BBLB [1], I am not adding the information, as the website concentrates on the Eurovision Song Contest than Big Brother. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 17:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I log into the C4 press site everyday for current news on BB as now is normally the time they start to post things. Just logged into the C4 press site today and was presented with week 22 listings(Saturday 24 May 2008 to Friday 30 May 2008), it states, on Friday 30th May that 8:00pm as TBD(Which is the normal time the launch would start at) and 1:45am as TBA(When the all night live feed is likely to begin).
Now if C4 were to follow suit on the previous Friday (the 23rd May), they would show the next episode in the series of DEADLIEST CATCH.
Now this may be nothing, but I find it ironic that the gap between the TBD is until 10:00pm, the normal running time of launch night. And 1:45am, when the Live feed would begin.
This seems to indicate that BB won't start on June 5 after all.-- Hiltonhampton ( talk) 15:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Isn't Virgin Media sponsoring Big Brother but with the primary focus on their mobile brand? Wasn't it the same with Celebrity Hijack that they just decided to focus on their mobile brand. If so the article should be written as such. 01:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The official press release (which I don't have access to presently so don't ask) said that the sponsors being Virgin Mobile and that they are considering pushing some other products as well but as of now it it just Virgin Mobile. We should go by what the papers and press release are saying which is Virgin Mobile until they say otherwise.-- Hiltonhampton ( talk) 13:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The article move was not needed. WP:BIGBRO has clear guidelines that the UK edition should follow the style of Big Brother 200x (UK) not Big Brother x (UK). The article should have not been moved without discussion and now is weird for the previous articles to follow the pattern while this article follows the pattern of the US naming scheme. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 23:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

"a round up of the previous day's events will be read by mock news reader 'Dai Davis Peach', who failed to apply for the seventh and eighth season of Big Brother."
Is this sentence correct? Perhaps it's supposed to mean "whose application for [BB7+8] failed" rather than "failed to apply"? Evercat ( talk) 00:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Now that the article is semi-protected and the show has actually started, wouldn't it just be simpler and more effective to put Big Brother housemates back as the regular template? Geoking 66 talk 21:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

All the previous BBs have the number written out and this series needs to follow the established style. Let's keep it as Ninth Series before it descends in to lamiosity. Darrenhusted ( talk) 11:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The nominations table doesn't match the weekly summary table. It says 12 housemates passed their task. The weekly summary table doesn't say those housemates had a task. The nominations table and the summary table both say 4 housemates failed their tasks, but the ref given, [2], doesn't say that. Also, the weekly summary table says that a part of the secret task of the first 4 housemates is to "convince the other housemates that Mario is in a relationship with Stephanie." That's incorrect. They only have to prevent the 12 others from discovering that Mario and Lisa are a couple. Also, the weekly summary table doesn't mention the wedding task. -- Geniac ( talk) 16:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I think we should improve the Highlight section by making the events seperated, not like an essay, beacuse that confuses a lot. -- BigOz22 ( talk) 23:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Channel 4 is saying that Stephanie's eviction percentage is 48% [3] while BBC is saying it is 43% [4]. We need to find out which is real the Channel 4 % or the BBC % and stick with it. We don't need conflicting percentages. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 07:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I know this article is about Big Brother 2008 (UK) but since it is one of the more active Big Brother articles I am asking this question regarding references, please do yell at me or point out this article is for the ninth British edition.
CBS has confirmed that Big Brother 10 (U.S.) will have 13 housemates this season via a advertisement on their network. The advertisement has been posted on YouTube and as of right now is the only "official" source since it is a copy of the advertisement. I know in most cases that YouTube videos are not acceptable but since this is an advertisement from CBS just on YouTube can it be used as a reference until the official CBS issues an official press release? I am unsure about this and would like some input. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 06:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Should we delete the RED colour, since in both BB5 (When Emma was ejected, Week 3's eviction was postponed, the box was coloured WHITE/PLAIN. and BB8, when Emily was ejected, the eviction has been cancelled, it has been coloured WHITE/PLAIN aswell, what should we do now? -- BigOz22 ( talk) 22:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I am aware of the fact, that the Friday Live Show time is wrong, the show doens't start at 8:30 PM, it starts at 9:00 PM till 10:00 PM, with a half hour break, however, I am not sure how long does the second show lasts. -- BigOz22 ( talk) 15:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Someone needs to completely edit the summary, there is very little info, and it seems to be weighted in Dennis' favour. "It was later reported that Dennis and Mohamed became involved in the dispute and that, according to Mohamed, Dennis had spit on him". It's very obvious to everyone he spat in his face, and Rebecca and Kathreya certainly don't need mentioning. also, the housemates weren't interrogated by the police/solicitors, that only happened with Dennis after he'd been taken out.

Ever since I have been involved with Wikipedia, fansites should not be used as sources or placed in the "External Links" section. This includes Big Brother UK Series Nine Website which W99 keeps adding. By looking at WP:LINKSTOAVOID it falls under
Fansites including the one mentioned also falls under WP:EL#ADV and WP:EL#Restrictions on linking #1. The site Big Brother UK Series Nine Website as of July 1, 2008 @ 8:19 ET contains a link so people can download/view past Big Brother series which infringes on Channel Four Television Corporation's copyrights. So by all of this fansites and this site Big Brother UK Series Nine Website should not be allowed in the "External Links" section. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 00:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I removed this content from the controversy section:
"On Day 30, Jennifer was evicted from the house after reports from all over the country that Rex' eviction line had been not working citation needed. This has resulted in numerous online petitions from fans to return her to the house."
This is a controversial statement that is likely to be challenged, so I looked through many newspapers from the UK, including ones that have been sourced in the article, and could not find a single reference to the above incident. Therefore, until someone can verify the information, this content should not be included in the encyclopedia. Z1720 ( talk) 05:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I was unaware that we needed to have a discussion about the new C-Class classification on the quality scale. (( Other WikiProject responses) So my question is should we (WP:Big Brother) adopt this new classification? I think so since now B-Class has had its requirements tightened and I had demote 11 former B-Class articles to C-Class due to the new change. Also this means that some of the Start/Stub articles could move up to C-Class classification as well. Since I kinda implimented this without a proper discussion you can see which articles I had to demote from B-Class and why and from my understanding articles that moved up to C-Class. So after explaining my mistake, my question is should we continue with C-Class or just keep A-Class, FA-Class, B-Class, Start-Class, and Stub-Class?
