Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

17 pros

I do think it needs to be mentioned that there are currently more pros on the roster than celebrities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.182.169 (talk) 20:45, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know that is what I thought as well but it means that two may miss out on a partner --MSalmon (talk) 20:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have a Twitter, and got tweets from Natalie Lowe and Kevin Clifton confirming that 2 of the dancers (not yet specified), previously announced as professionals, will be demoted to only appearing in group routines and other background areas. In my opinion, that is a jumbled mess of a way to announce the pros. I was really looking forward to the entire pro line-up and now 2 will just be dropped like a ton of bricks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.182.169 (talk) 13:07, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrity Professions

Instead of using the subjective "known for" column for each celebrity, why not use the "profession" listed on their official Strictly bio found here? I am suggesting this here in an effort to reach consensus for making any changes. Knope7 (talk) 20:03, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lesley Joseph

I noticed her known for column is Stage & screen actress, however she's best known for appearing in Birds of a Feather, this was similar to Kellie Bright last year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8AA4:5600:A55C:E5FF:5CA6:1B93 (talk) 19:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my suggestion in the previous section. Knope7 (talk) 03:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Robert/Judge Rinder

His [bio on the Strictly website] has him down as Judge Rinder, so it seems that's how he'll be referred to on the show - I don't think there's any precedent for this, so should we go with how he's referred to on the show and have him listed in the article as Judge Rinder rather than Robert? Cwmxii (talk) 19:35, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be in agreement to refer to him as he is stated on the website and now in live shows, he is referred to as "JUDGE RINDER" so this article needs to reflect that. Superdry19 (talk) 01:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How about Robert "Judge" Rinder? That allows readers to see both names. Knope7 (talk) 17:31, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They announced him as Judge Rinder on the first live show so that is what needs to be used --MSalmon (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Robert seems to be a non-word from here on in. Although (curiously) Rinder seems to rhyme with Tinder not Grinder. Mercy! that Cha-Cha-Cha was on fire!! Just shows what two years dressing up on ITV can do to a man. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:52, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As he is known as and classed Judge Rinder on the titles and in the live shows that name needs to be used from now on, all mention of the name "Robert" needs removing from the page immediately, I will do it but can no-one revert it please. Superdry19 (talk) 23:52, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full lists of pairings

Both Radio Times and Telly Mix have full lists of the pairings. If you are adding pairings to pages, please provide a source. The Telegraph also has some of the pairings along with some more background/commentary. Knope7 (talk) 19:50, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi Protection?

Can someone put the page on Semi protection for the course of the series. The dance chart gets so vandalised at this time between the launch show and the dance list for Week 1. NaThang0P (talk) 10:43, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please remove the semi protection for the course of the series? I wanted to add the TV ratings for the launch show but I am blocked from doing so. Wikipedia is a site for all to freely edit, not the property of some elite who believe they 'own' the site and it's content. 103.10.23.252 (talk) 00:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good news! Wikipedia accounts are free and anyone can create one, not just "elites." You just need to come up with a user name and a password. If you do not want to do that, you can request someone else add the content for you. If you leave a message on this page with the information you want added and a reliable source, another editor can add it, assuming it's appropriate for the article. Knope7 (talk) 22:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to semi-protect it you need to update it to the second. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacktheladisgood (talkcontribs) 20:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You Don't Fucking have the right to semi protect

Wiki elites have the right to do whatever they like. They use and abuse the site to make sure they and only they have access to it by 'semi protecting' (aka locking), protecting (aka locking) and blocking users. So even if you create an account, they will simply block it if you try to add anything without royal approval from an elite. Wikipedia was created to be freely edited. It is now just the domain of the elite. And woe betide anyone who disagrees. One flick of the mouse and you're blocked from editing forever.60.249.88.104 (talk) 16:11, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Identifying dance styles

Dance styles should be identified if they are supported by a reliable source. The source should, in my opinion, identify clearly what style will be performed on a given week. It should provide more than just rehearsal footage that requires editors to guess what style is being practiced. There is no harm in waiting to identify dance styles until a later date when a source expressly confirms it. Knope7 (talk) 20:30, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll renew my objections to the way the dance styles are being sourced. Some of the videos are clearer than others as to the style being danced and it being the assigned style week 1. In any event, a full citation to the Strictly website would be better than citing to a twitter posting of the same video. Knope7 (talk) 17:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tameka Empson Week 1

Aswell as the Y VIVA espana she danced to El Gato Montes it is on the website — Preceding unsigned comment added by MidnightSilver (talkcontribs) 18:26, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please unprotect this article

Wikipedia is a site for everyone to use, regardless of whether or not they wish to set up an account. Please remove the protection to this article so that the founding principle of wikipedia can be followed by those of us who have relevant (and sourced) content to add. Thank you.61.220.162.2 (talk) 07:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the superior editor who locked the page, you will have to beg them to be permitted to add to the article via a request to edit or some such nonsense. Give up, mate. Let them have the power. We'll all just move on with our lives, something the 'owners' of Wikipedia articles don't have.218.161.125.238 (talk) 09:44, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
