May 2011 hack

The hack by group LulzSec where personal data of 73,000 potential X Factor candidates were leaked[1] should be mentioned.

Addition of new judges to "Judges and their categories" section

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

With the new judges being confirmed as Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio could they be added alongside a new row for Season Three to the Judges and their categories table. I would've added it but it's protected 109.149.205.185 (talk) 09:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet, as that table is for when the catergories are revealed --MSalmon (talk) 09:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it usually just updated as the judges are revealed. The UK page has Louis Walsh under a Series 10 row on the table, as does the Australian page with Redfoo, Natalie, Ronan and Dannii — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.205.185 (talk) 11:34, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, only when the judges have been given their categories (the UK page has it removed) --MSalmon (talk) 19:57, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The list of judges is given elsewhere. That table is specifically to show what their category is and who their finalists are. So until such time as the categories are revealed, the judges do not need to be named there. –anemone projectors– 15:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 04 April 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved.{{db-move}} added to target (non-admin closure) Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 05:14, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The X Factor (US TV series) → The X Factor (U.S. TV series) – The page was moved by Paine Ellsworth on 19 October 2015 citing WP:DABNAME. However, that guideline applies to disambiguation pages, which this is not, and MOS:US clearly prefers "U.S." – this is also the common convention for disambiguated TV series article names. – nyuszika7h (talk) 12:29, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Philg88 ^♦talk 15:12, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from WP:RMT

Strong support as per WP:NCTVUS. Actually, I'd even go with Speedy move. It should never have been moved in the first place. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:22, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- See also requested move discussion initiated on 29 March 2013 above, which ended with this article being (properly) moved to The X Factor (U.S. TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:27, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly oppose. Those types of abbreviations should be written without dots. Mimi 822 453 233 (talk) 20:39, 4 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]
- Note: The account that posted the above was just created today.
- This isn't the place to argue this. You are asking us to ignore a guideline because you don't like it. That's not how it works. The guideline, as well as the previous RM result, are clear on what this outcome should be. Your personal opinion is not relevant to that. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:57, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support U.S., per nomination. Randy Kryn 23:11, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and MOS:US. Unreal7 (talk) 17:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and comments by IJBall. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
