The 11th series of Celebrity Big Brother (UK) will launch on January 3rd. In this article it says that 'it is expected to launch in January' so please will you change this to make it accurate.

I can't add the start date because it is fully protected and only admins can edit the page (which I am not) --MSalmon (talk) 18:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 10:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The dates that have been added are not in the english format (dd/mm/yyyy) and there needs to be a source. --MSalmon (talk) 18:04, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask

Why was the page fully protected? --RachelRice (talk) 18:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Now I know why it was protected, why don't you just block the two users rather than protecting the page so nobody can edit and add appropriate information on the article? --RachelRice (talk) 18:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it to semi-protected. One of the users was already blocked. –anemone projectors– 18:43, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know it was me that was warned about 3RR for removing unsourced information from the article. --MSalmon (talk) 22:54, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I don't think you should have been, since you were removing obvious vandalism. –anemone projectors– 10:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I didn't understand it. --MSalmon (talk) 18:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Speidi"

Do we have to follow the CBB website and call them that, or can we be more encyclopaedic and use their actual names? Is Big Brother actually calling for "Speidi" to come to the Diary Room? –anemone projectors– 18:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should use their full names in the infobox and "Speidi" in the nominations table (like Kristina and Karissa from CBB9) --MSalmon (talk) 18:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are one housemate, known as "Speidi" by the website, as well as Big Brother, so they should be kept as "Speidi" --RachelRice (talk) 00:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In last night's episode, Marcus Bentley called them "Spencer and Heidi" (or "Heidi and Spencer", not sure which). But why should we go by the name that Big Brother uses? We're an encyclopaedia, not a fan site. We should be using surnames anyway. –anemone projectors– 21:43, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have they actually been reffered to as Speidi during ther time in the house? --MSalmon (talk) 22:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet. –anemone projectors– 22:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So why are we using their nickname then? --MSalmon (talk) 22:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's on the CBB website, but I don't see that as a reason. –anemone projectors– 22:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know, it is like Karissa and Kristina in CBB9 --MSalmon (talk) 22:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Basement table - confusing

Attempting to use the table to indicate both location and voting for Day 2 is confusing. Why not simply use it for location, with a footnote indicating that HM x,y & z voted for Frankie to be sent to the basement? Using the table for dual purpose serves neither purpose well. Leaky Caldron 12:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well we did it for Rich & Poor and Heaven & Hell, what's so different about it this time? I don't find it confusing. --RachelRice (talk) 10:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dates of birth

WP:BLP is very clear on dates of birth, if they're not sourced by very good reliable sources they have no place in the article. GimliDotNet^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 21:51, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
