Too early?

Is it too early to create this page yet or not? --MSalmon (talk) 13:37, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not the show page, but the rumours are pure tabloid speculation and should be avoided under WP:CRYSTAL.Carl Sixsmith (talk) 10:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The show begins in less than two months. Not too early. Bbmaniac (talk) 12:16, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have a date yet, or is it still "some time in January"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.198.125.1 (talk) 16:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It premiered January 5, 2012. I would update some info on the cast but there are no edit links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.9.97.114 (talk) 00:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rumoured cast

References for personal info

C'mon guys, private personal info such as DOB's, info about family etc. need to be cited to publicly available, reliable sources. I've added citations for the DOB's (if I can find them). Uncited, sensitive or personal info about living people should be removed immediately, as per Wikipedia guidelines. Sionk (talk) 15:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The twins in Nominations table

There's gotta be a way to decide how the twins will be listed in the nominations history, the three possible suggestion I have, are

	Original	Nowrap	The Twins Kristina and Karissa	K & K

	Kristina and Karissa, Andrew	Kristina and Karissa, Andrew	The Twins, Andrew	K & K, Andrew

Surprisingly enough, using the original might actually wrap, thus making the nominations boxes bigger, while the nowrap will just stretch the box out. I've noticed The Twins are the best version, while K & K might be confusing. --BigOz22 (talk) 15:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave it as Kristina and Karissa without wrap for now until we know how they are portrayed during nominations (which should be either tomorrow or Monday, first eviction is Wednesday). --MSalmon (talk) 15:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe they're gonna be classed as one contestant, as it was stated during the revelation of Natalie's secret task. --BigOz22 (talk) 02:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should just stay as the original. Flamingjoe (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did BB refer to them as Kristina and Karissa during nominations? --MSalmon (talk) 22:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BB listed them as K & K on their on-screen nominations list! Sionk (talk) 00:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of C5 +1 on Ratings

Should we include C5 +1 in the ratings table or just C5 since this is the first series to have C5 +1? --MSalmon (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Channel 5 +1 should be included as +1 figures were used in the channel 4 series. Here are the Actual viewing figures http://www.bbspy.co.uk/ratings — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.31.115 (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Someone keeps changing the ratings table, removing the inclusion of +1 ratings. I will re edit the table later on, however it needs to stop, including +1 ratings means the viewing figures are more representative, (they were included in Channel 4 series) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.163.3 (talk) 17:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed them because there are no sources, and BARB haven't supplied them yet (when there are sources or BARB release them they can be added in) --MSalmon (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings table in BBSPY bbspy.co.uk/ratings Channel 5 do not subscribe, but in future I will add the source! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.163.3 (talk) 20:20, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Try to use refs other than fansites as they can be unreliable. --MSalmon (talk) 22:10, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

I had just finished filling all the nominations in and then there was an edit conflict because someone added "Frankie takes cocaine." onto the nominations table. Please can we stop the vandalism some how. Flamingjoe (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request protection. It will stop all the IP's from vandalizing the page. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 21:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2 series per year

Apparently there will be another series this year. I've reverted page moves as unnecessary disambiguation, but how should we name the article once one for a second 2012 series is needed? –anemoneprojectors– 14:46, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that since there are two a year they should follow the American naming scheme (Celebrity Big Brother 9 (UK)/Celebrity Big Brother 10 (UK)) ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 20:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We may have to rename the previous articles and regular series articles though so they match each other but I don't think we need to. Having Celebrity Big Brother, January 2012 is too long and unnecessary. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 20:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If we're going with the numbers option then all past series need to be changed to numbers for consistency, it makes the articles easier to follow and appears more professional12bigbrother12 (talk) 21:13, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the numbers option is best and it looks professional. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 21:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this is the best way to deal with it. The person who moved the page before used a pretty bad page name. –anemoneprojectors– 12:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AnemoneProjectors, could you move the following pages for me to the new naming scheme. I am running into messages asking for an admin to handle it:

Celebrity Big Brother 2002 (UK) → Celebrity Big Brother 2 (UK)

Celebrity Big Brother 2005 (UK) → Celebrity Big Brother 3 (UK)

Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (UK) → Celebrity Big Brother 4 (UK)

Celebrity Big Brother 2007 (UK) → Celebrity Big Brother 5 (UK)

Big Brother 2006 (UK) → Big Brother 7 (UK) (I don't have the rights to move this one.)

Big Brother 2011 (UK) → Big Brother 12 (UK)

If you could fix these for me then the new naming scheme will be effective on all articles. Thanks. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 04:13, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a Big Brother 12 (UK) page which has been redirected to the Big Brother (UK) page. --MSalmon (talk) 09:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we should have had a little more discussion before going ahead with this. The justification is not entirely clear and no contra views have been able to pipe up. I'm not against it per se, but there was no pressing need to get it done on such limited consensus. A bit of discussion would have done no harm. Leaky Caldron 09:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was done because there will be two celeb series this year and the American version name them by number not year. --MSalmon (talk) 10:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to do the page moves but only if everyone else is happy - or at least consensus is reached first. Let me know on my talk page what the conclusion is. –anemoneprojectors– 12:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
