Teehee 11, it is nice that you decided to contribute to Wikipedia but the reason I deleted your "Strategies" section is because it is not written in an encyclopedia sense. A table with all the strategies that have been used in the game isn't needed. The most that strategies should receive is a sub-section. It shouldn't have a table listing all strategies used, who used them, the advantages and disadvantages with each. Some experienced users may slap your section with a tag that may read "Trivia sections are discouraged by Wikipedia." Granted strategies need to be mentioned in the article but the way it is currently written is what some users would consider not a Neutral Point of View (NPOV). I am not trying to sound mean or anything but explain why I removed the section. I do believe with some more work it can be a good section but the way it is written would in my belief jeopardize the articles Good Article nomination. Please don't be mad I am just trying to explain why I removed it. I can help you work on it to make it encyclopedic if you want. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 02:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Teehee 11, this can be encyclopedic if we work on it trust me. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 02:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
I don't have the Live Feeds so I didn't know. Plus I can't cite that one. You can add it back. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 02:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
I don't do this because you are new to Wikipedia, believe me. It happens to a lot of us sometimes. I don't want you to think I did that because you were new. I didn't even know you were new until you commented on my talk page. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I didnt get back to you sooner. I am now going through your edits. First, I would like to say that you did a good job on the Strategies section. It does show that you did a lot of hard work. However, I partially agree with Alucard on it. At the moment, the page is nominated as a Good Article, which may be a reason that Alucard is being a tad over protective of it. I don't think that all of that information should be on the main BB page tho. Have you thought about putting the main strategies from each season, on that seasons' specific page? That may be a better idea. As far as Alucard saying that it wasnt from a Neutral Point of View, I dont know what he's talking about there. I see no problem as far as NPOV.
As far as the live feed info you added, I think it was great the way you had it, and should be re-added if you didnt already (I dont know if you already did because I am going through each of your edits as I am writing this).
OK. Hopefully this helps. Maybe take my suggestion and add that strategy info to each individual seasons page, rather than the main article. However, before you do that, it is best to start a discussion on the talk page. You should inform everybody what you would like to do on the main BB talk page or the BB season 8 talk page might get more attention. That way you wont work so hard at it just for people to come and make a bunch of changes. If you have any other questions, dont hesitate to let me know. - Rjd0060 15:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, my suggestion was pretty much the only alternative, however now that you mentioned a stub page, that might be more appropriate. Feel free to add a proposal. There is information on this here. - Rjd0060 19:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Anyone can create a stub article, I think the confusion is between a stub type and a stub article. Stub types are generally discussed prior to creation but a stub article is just an article that happens to be small so anyone can create one. Waacstats 09:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Project objectives
Continue to improve Big Brother articles to bring them inline with MOS:TV
The use of {{Episode table}} and {{Episode list}} with episode summaries of 200 words or less, or a general prose summary of 500 words or less, are preferred over other tables or formats (see Big Brother 23 (American season) for example).
Both Big Brother parent and season articles should follow the general format of articles described at MOS:TV (see Big Brother 21 (American season) for an example).
Where possible both Big Brother parent and season articles should have information regarding production of the series.
Per this discussion individual seasons of Big Brother should no longer contain a standalone article of contestants.
The Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television has caused numerous seasons or editions to be cancelled, postponed, or adjusted significantly; any information relating to this can be added in appropriate production sections.
