User talk:Msalmon
Welcome!
Hello, Msalmon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for joining our community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. First thing: be bold! Editors are always happy to correct or revert mistakes and discuss changes with which they disagree. Here are some links you might find useful:
And for more detailed information:
- Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know
- The five pillars of Wikipedia - our principles, or how to get on with other editors
- Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.
You can also check out the community portal, which has lots of ideas on how you can help Wikipedia.
All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Wikipedia:Where to ask a question. One last thing: please sign your name when leaving messages for others on article and user talk pages using (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Jennie's exemption
Hi there, do you know for sure that she is exempt from nominating? If you are speculating, it shouldn't be added. Thanks. --Alex9891 15:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The table of contents on the Big Brother 7 UK article
Thank you for changing the position of the table of contents yet again, with total disregard to the comment I made on the article's talk page. talk to JD wants e-mail 09:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I didn't do anything to it, someone else did it while I was editing talk to Mslamon wants e-mail 10:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
This diff says you moved the TOC back to where it is now. I'm not here to start an argument about it, but if you have a good reason for it not being where it was, could you please bring it up on the article's talk page? talk to JD wants e-mail 09:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Look, I just left it where it was I only moved it once and that was it. I don't mind it being where it was talk to Mslamon wants e-mail 10:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm moving it back then, that's okay with you? talk to JD wants e-mail 09:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, fine but don't blame me for something I didn't do. talk to Mslamon wants e-mail 10:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm only saying you did it because the diff says you did it, and as somebody once said, "The diff doesn't lie". If you take offence to that, I'm sorry. talk to JD wants e-mail 09:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I know that but someone else moved it while I was editing something else. talk to Mslamon wants e-mail 10:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
It would have appeared as a separate revision in the article's edit history had that been the case. In all honesty, I'd have dropped this ages ago, and still will, if you're willing to do the same. There's really no need to drag it out as far as it is going. talk to JD wants e-mail 09:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Source
Hi, do you have a source for the Celebrity Big Brother 5 info? --Alex (talk here) 22:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Celebrity Big Brother
Please stop going against consensus, and read the talk pages. If you have a problem, comment before you take action, as moving all the pages to where they are now took a lot of effort from a lot of people. jd || talk || 09:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
If you want to change it (which I don't see why you need to) please rewrite the intro or change the name back to what it was, otherwise it looks wrong. User:Msalmon 10:38, 23 October 2006
- Was it not already rewritten? jd || talk || 09:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
No, on CBB5 (oops I meant 3) it say "CBB5 was the third season of Celebrity Big Brother". Does that look rewritten to you? Msalmon 10:46, 23 October 2006
- Yes, it does. Celebrity Big Brother 5 isn't the fifth season of the series, as there were only two seasons before it. jd || talk || 11:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Genie in the House
Hi! I'm sorry to bother you, but do you, by any chance, know where I can find screencaps and/or videos of the episode Out of our Minds? I really want to see it! I hope you can help me! Thanks. Miss.Hazelnut 25 October 2006
Sorry, I can't help you but y did u come 2 me? Msalmon 21:03 25 Oct 06
Hey Msalmon! Thanxs for all your work in moving the episodes in order or air date. However, the talk page reached a consensus and all episodes were organized according to production code. Check the talk page before making major edits, in case the issue was already discussed before. I had to revert back to the original version. Sorry about that. Keep up the good work and have fun editing! =) Jumping cheese Cont@ct 23:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't episodes be ordered in list of episode number because 'Bueno Nacho' wasn't the first episoded aired it was 'Crush'. See [1] for episode order. Msalmon 19 Dec 2006 09:30am
- Yeah, but something about how Disney does not air them in the correct order. ^_^ Jumping cheese Cont@ct 10:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Big Brother 2007
As various sources have confirmed, Chanelle has asked to leave. Despite the fact that she has to stay for a while longer, she can no longer be regarded as a HM as she has techincally left. Futher reverting could break WP:3RR and could be classed as vandalism. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 17:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
She hasn't left yet so she is still a housemate
I agree with you reverting the edits as she has not left :) Babygurl1853 18:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
BB8 UK Nom. Table
It's polite to discuss the matter first (but from seeing your talkpage i can see this isn't always the case) on the articles talk page. You revert the article (to a bad version i may add) when so far you are the only person to disagree with it. -- Halo2 Talk 19:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Go back to two tables then, personally I think that the main table will look crammed and funny with it in. Msalmon User talk:Talk 20:34, 6 August 2007
- Yes exactly, "you think", that's the point of a talk page to discuss it. The problem at the moment is that there is no point having the total nominations, it doesn't show anything. (You may also want to fix your signature if you haven't doe so already.) -- Halo2 Talk 19:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. ~~ [Jam][talk] 10:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Celebrity Big Brother 2009 (UK)
Msalmon, you recently removed a citation needed tag I added to the Celebrity Big Brother 2009 (UK) article. The reason why I added a citation needed tag, is because information about when an upcoming show will begin should be cited. I realise that you said in your edit summary when you removed my citation needed tag that C4 has confirmed that that is when the show will start, but a citation is needed to prove that. I am not suggesting you made up the date, but unfortunately your word is not enough. I hope you understand why I therefore reverted your removal of the citation needed tag, and I hope you will be able to replace the tag with a citation. Thanks for reading. Terrakyte (talk) 23:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the citation. :) Terrakyte (talk) 23:09, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Hope that is ok Msalmon (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- It's good. Thanks again. Terrakyte (talk) 23:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, it might be better for you to leave messages on the talk page and discuss with us whether to include rumours, before wiping it out. Like I've said, there's a precendent for listing the possible contestants, and whether or not I agree with it (which I don't, entirely), you could've left a note. I won't change what you've put, but I think you were a little hasty. Best wishes. Sky83 (talk) 13:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
December 2008
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Strictly Come Dancing (Series 6). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. ~~ [ジャム][t - c] 17:11, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Route Table
You only needed to correct the relevant section in the first place rather than get into an unnecessary edit war with the whole table! Jenuk1985 | Talk 21:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I will leave it like it is but personally I liked it the way before Msalmon (talk) 21:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know about you, but the style of editing of this "new" user on First Leicester and Arriva Fox County seems awfully familiar ;-) All seems constructive so far, but an admin is aware of it and is keeping an eye on it. Just so you are aware :-) Jenuk1985 | Talk 17:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ok I will keep a look out for it, but he/she hasn't made any big changes like the blocked user did Msalmon (talk) 17:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Now almost certain it is the same person, as he/she has just blanked the page of User:Snleicester. Expect the his/her edits to get a lot more annoying! Jenuk1985 | Talk 16:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I just noticed that. MSalmon (talk) 16:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- No i will not be as annoying because i am finding information out to put into pages for the encyclopedia Stewiewispa (talk) 17:10, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Just don't make any of the changes like you were before otherwise you will be blocked againMSalmon (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- i am checking the show changes box THEN adding information where it is needed as with centrebusif you want to take a look Stewiewispa (talk) 17:10, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Good. And also when you reply on the talk pages use one more of : than the last one which will indent it more MSalmon (talk) 19:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what did I say? :-) Jenuk1985 | Talk 22:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Huh? MSalmon (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Regarding Stewiewispa.. "Expect the his/her edits to get a lot more annoying!". I think I showed too much good faith in not suggesting he/she not be blocked right away. Jenuk1985 | Talk 22:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Huh? MSalmon (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, he has been blocked indef again MSalmon (talk) 22:24, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Big Brother 2009 (UK)
Channel 4 have confirmed that launch date of the series. A consensus has been reached on the article's talk page; there you can find sources that confirm this. Your constant reverting is distruptive and could be seen as vandalism. If you continue to edit obstructively, you will be reported to an administrator and most likely blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Google Street View
RE: If information is interesting and has no citation should insert a fact ([citation needed]). In this case the information is completely unnecessary; Google cars we could find in almost all countries in Europe. When Poland and Czech Rep will be released must be mentioned. In future (2015 I hope) all streets over the world will be available (possible exception Iraq and Afganistan). TouLouse (talk) 16:09, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Big Brother 2009 (UK) - it's all been kicking off
After an afternoon of intense edit wars (too long to go into, you'll have to check the article talk page) the article has been fully protected until we can come to an agreement on the Housemates section. If you'd like to place your vote here, it would solve the issue quickly. I was under the impression that we had already reached consensus for "Option 2", but I must have been mistaken.

XFactor
Under results summary in this article: The_X_Factor_(UK_series_4)#20_October_2007, it states that Simon's reason was to state that it was a "singing competition". I don't see why that cannot be applied here: The_X_Factor_(UK_series_6)#Week_7_.2821.2F22_November.29 to Dannii's comment. Whilst it may not be in your opinion to be a valid reason, she did actually say something, so "gave no comment" is a bit inaccurate? We could write it as "Commented that it was a singing competition" perhaps, showing that it's not a reason? Thanks, --Ictl (talk) 21:32, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Discuss on article talk page, not here MSalmon (talk) 21:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- "please stop deleting this as it is needed"
I don't understand your comment:
- Why do we need an empty column? Of course we will need that column when the series has begun but, until then, the article looks tidier without it.
- Why do we need two of the columns arbitrarily picked to have widths specified on them?
- Why do we need all this inappropriate capitalisation all over the place?
- Why do we need a section that at the moment contains no information? Or rather, at the moment, the information there is meaningless - it states that "X indicates the couple who did not skate that week" but at this moment (at least if the show is live as implied) this is true of every participant in the competition.

Hello, I've been following the article above (I added the image of Lady Gaga) and I though that unregistered users were banned from editing this article, seeing most of the time they just vandalise it.

Dancing with the Stars Season 10
I replied to you in the discussion about the 1+2 deal. If the chart is the way you have it, the sortability of it is messed up and you can only sort that column by the week 1 scores, not the final scores. For seasons 4, 6, and 8 where the judges combined scores from Week 1 and Week 2, the "1+2" part is just left off completely and so I think we should either do it that way or my way so the sortability of it is not messed up. (Sortability probably isn't a word, but you get my point.) Onesmallnote (talk) 20:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
