Nominations table edit

Rosie's row in the nominations table should be subtitled "Baked Potato" to keep consistency with similar name changes throughout the series (e.g. Big Brother (British TV series) series 10's Sophie/Dogface and Freddie/Halfwit. 51.219.48.67 (talk) 20:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out this has already been done in the time it took me to write this! 51.219.48.67 (talk) 20:49, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations table suggestion and page suggestion

Since I can't edit the nominations table (and the page, since I am not extended confirmed) and that this might require some discussion, I might put them here:

I don't think that there should be a separate row for Head of House, if we are following a previous series with the same twist. If we are not following that, maybe we should add the Head of House row on that series page instead?
I personally would prefer to have some sort of multiple columns for nominated housemates and against the public vote, in a similar style as Series 11 and Series 19 especially if the save-and-replace is used other than the killer nomination. Something in a similar style to this:

Nominated (pre-HoH)	none	Ali, Daze, Lily	A & B, C & D
HoH decision	none	Martha (to nominate)	A & B (to save) E & F (to replace)
Against public vote	Baked Potato, Dean, Nathan, Ryan	Ali, Daze, Lily, Martha	C & D, E & F

This might be a complicated task to do, especially with two options, but I prefer something like this, other than having all HoH decisions in the same table space, which might confuse some readers.

I also have a suggestion as well in regards to the page, especially with the Head of House, where we list how the HoH is decided like in Series 9, as it is one of the main twists for this series. However, it is up to the eligible editors to add them or not (I will be able to add it post-series after the protection, if it is not lifted)

Week 3 nominations

Just to be aware that the housemates were nominating pairs for eviction NOT individual housemates so this needs to be reflected in the nominations table. Thanks. MSalmon (talk) 09:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly average

Name of the article

The title Big Brother (British TV series) series 21 looks sloppy, why can't it be named Big Brother 21 (British series) ? It has probably been discussed already, but the titles of all BBUK series on Wikipedia are awful and not sure why anybody chose this. The 'series 21' part looks like it should either be in brackets or just having 21 without the word 'series' would look more professional. The word 'series' features twice in the title, obviously American English uses the word 'season' as opposed to 'series', but the U.S BB writes article title as Big Brother 21 (American season). The UK titles are all over the place. Reli source (talk) 23:18, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marcello's last name

Marcello's last name is Dentamaro, as he stated on Big Brother: Live Stream BigBroDude (talk) 23:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BigBroDude Do you have a source for this? MSalmon (talk) 06:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Msalmon it was mentioned last night on the live stream, but here are various sources backing it up. His surname is Dentamaro [2] [3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.76.192 (talk) 01:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC) strike sock-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:32, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should use his stage name for now as that is what his instagram (@marcellospooks) says. I don't know what other people think though so I am not going to change it for now. MSalmon (talk) 09:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Msalmon You said in your edit summary that this had been discussed. It hadn't. You said you were not changing it. Someone else took the initiative to correct it. Marcello's surname is Dentamaro as confirmed by various sources and Marcello himself during the programme. This needs changing back please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martha Church (talk • contribs) 14:07, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all I didn't say that and secondly that's why it needs to be discussed MSalmon (talk) 14:16, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
