[edit] Extremely POV/Citations needed

For edits regarding popularity, as well as a good clean up needed.ZlatkoT 11:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

If by popularity you're referring to Sara-Marie, it's true. It's on the BB06 website as well. —JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 11:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no references for it though.ZlatkoT 11:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

There's no point, because the series just ended; and the website will most likely be taken down in a week or so, or replaced with a new site for BB07 information. —JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 12:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This page is inconsistent with the latest style of the series Big Brother Australia series 6, and needs to be brought up to date with images, bios, diary, etc. Ste4k 10:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

There's not much information left about the earlier series, but I can try my best to expand on it later, if people don't mind. --JD^talk_email 10:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It would appear to be more important than editing the current version. The longer this waits, the less odds people will have of finding the information. You should also consider that you are not the only editor on Wikipedia. Ste4k 10:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course I'm not, but it seems unlikely that anybody else would do it, since the page is so old and no major edits have been made in a while. If anybody else is willing to do it, then by all means I'm not going to complain or anything. I was just saying that I will try later today, to try and do that. --JD^talk_email 10:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I find it puzzeling that you believe that you can both predict the future and judge the rest of all of the editors on Wiki in such a manner. Clearly you fail to recognize that by scheduling cleanup this is the purpose of such actions. Thanks Ste4k 11:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

If by preficting the future you're referring to my last comments on this page, I'm not making a prediction, I'm assuming. I know I shouldn't assume, but based on the page history it seemed unlikely that anybody else would do anything major. I'm not trying to schedule anything, I'm just saying that if nobody else does anything major to the article by the time I'm back at home, I will try to do something to help it. Sorry if the way I'm coming across seems a bit arrogant or anything like that, it wasn't what I was trying for. --JD^talk_email 11:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup started with some links. Not sure what "jargon" needs a cleanup though. I'll add some more info on this first season when I think of it. Big Brother has really come under the magnifying glass on wikipedia this last couple of days. Look at the failed attempts to have Ryan Fitzgerald and Simon Deering evicted and the arguments over Tim Brunero and David Mathew. Asa01 11:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date Clarification

Series 1 is listed as starting on April 23, which was a Monday (I just checked). Can someone confirm that the opening night was aired on the Monday? I thought they all started on Sunday, but I might be wrong. This also applies to Series 2's starting date, was that a Monday, too?

Series 1 actually started on a Tuesday, though the housemates went in on a Monday. Series 2 aired on a Monday, the housemates entered on the Sunday. I think in Series 3 and 4 opening night was on a Sunday and it was live, from Series 5 on housemates have entered on the Saturday (which was known as Day 0 not Day 1) and it was aired on the Sunday. -- 3bay sam 04:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdays

This is from IMDb. I don't know if it's correct or not, so I haven't added it to the article.

Sharna West 30 April 1966, Johnny Cass/Cacciola 24 Dec 1970, Peter Timbs 26 May 1972, Gordon Sloan 31 Oct 1972, Todd James 18 Jan 1974, Christina Davis 7 April 1974, Jemma Gawned 22 Dec 1974, Andy Silva 27 Jan 1976, Lisa Standing 19 Dec 1976, Anita Bloomfield 21 June 1978, Sara-Marie Fedele 18 Aug 1978, Ben Williams 21 Sept 1979, Rachel Corbett 11 March 1981, Blair McDonough 30 April 1981

[edit] Intruders

Rachel (2001), Nicole (2002), Jaime (2003), Violeta (2004) were all evicted through existing housemates voting for which intruder they wanted to stay. Each year, these specials were advertised as "Housemate's Revenge". Only Jaime from 2003 is quoted as being evicted in this way. Due to no public involvement, this is significant and thus I have added these to the respective years' HM tables.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BB12.jpg

Image:BB12.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
