Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:13, 9 July 2010

Someone fix the chart - Mikey was the one who was eliminated last episode - Andrew didn't leave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.52.207 (talk) 01:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

never mind he did leave - sorry xD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.52.207 (talk) 01:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Where did the chart information on episode 5 come from? It hasn't aired yet. 216.17.228.103 (talk) 18:50, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Episode 5 & 6 haven't aired yet, but eliminations shown on chart?

Very odd... This information needs to be removed, as it's either incorrect or spoilers.99.6.143.133 (talk) 04:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Episodes 705 & 706 are airing right now. 705 was added moments ago yet persistently removed. I'll edit the table for 705 and 706 @9:00e Altarep (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks. We really need to watch for any suspected spoilers and revert them immediately, though, in the future. Connormah (talk | contribs) 00:36, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

As much as I'm for keeping some aspects under wraps, at what point are we lifting the embargo on episodes? After the program has finished in the East Coast, the West Coast still has another 3 hours before it is complete. I can speak from experience that I would like to see what the synopsis of the episode is without having to wait the 24 hour embargo for Hulu to put it up online. I'd like to make the suggestion that the embargo on episode synopsis and result table be embargoed for 1 hour after the completion of East Coast broadcast. The justification being

1. a period to get all the facts for the episode down correctly and to generate a coherent synopsis of the episode.
2. time to make sure (in your sandbox) that you have all the wiki tags and formatting set so that it can be done in one swoop of content
3. keep those who have low impulse control from spoiling the ending for themselves if they don't live on the east coast.

Please let me know if this will work with everyone Hasteur (talk) 02:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Progression Chart Changes by user:68.9.223.10 and user:173.56.83.179

Thank you both for your changes to the progression chart, yet to do something so radically to the progression without discussing here or at the main HK US page first and to break precedent with all 6 previous seasons of HK screams problems. I intend to revert the progress box section changes. If you want to make this change please give your justification for it. --Hasteur (talk) 12:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, but there are also additions they have made to the descriptions of the recent episodes that might be worth keeping.Naraht (talk) 12:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I pulled the changes from the 'last' agreed version of that section and applied them to the main page with a pointer to come see the discussion --Hasteur (talk) 12:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Users notified that they are being discussed --Hasteur (talk) 12:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-Protection

I applied for semi protection on this page due to the IP editors inserting and removing the Episode 10 "elimination" reason. Please come discuss it here so that when the semi-protect comes off we can drop the back and forth bickering? Thanks Hasteur (talk) 13:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure it rises to the level of semi-protection, given WP:SILVERLOCK and WP:ROUGH. Also, I've found that this page has useful editing by anonymous users more than most other pages that I've seen. While I'm not going to apply to have the Semi-Protection lifted, I think we need to study the level of vandalism vs. valid edits by anonymous users.Naraht (talk) 15:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

My concern is that the annon IP editors are making changes without any edit summary other than what is provided when they edit the section. To my understanding you're supposed to put a one line summary of the change when you edit so people can (at a high glance) see what's happening to the page. Hasteur (talk) 15:51, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree that that is annoying, but if that were the case, I think we'd have to Semi-Protect most of Misplaced Pages. Not providing an edit summary doesn't make an edit into vandalism.Naraht (talk) 17:17, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Preview Information?

Include information from the Previews? For example, at this point we have had episodes 9 & 10, but at http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/recaps/season-7/episode-11/index.php , there is a preview (more or less equivalent to what is shown on the next time, but some more information). This includes information such as what the challenge is.Naraht (talk) 12:42, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

IMO, Misplaced Pages is not a WP:Crystal ball and we're really supposed to be making a lasting document for the season rather than a play-by-play of the season's reveals. I'd prefer to hold all changes that are for an episode to 1 hour after the conclusion of the episode's broadcast East Coast time. Several of the spelling/wording issues that cropped up after this last episode could have been resolved prior to saving by staging the changes in the personal sandboxes before it gets committed to the season's page. Just my feeling. Hasteur (talk) 20:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
