Use of Low

[edit]

I have removed the term "low" from the progress chart a couple times now, simply because the show does not identify chefs using subjective high or low designations. There is a winning team from which one chef is the stand-out, and a losing team which votes out one member. The low designation is never used. Therefore, I have removed the subjective WP:POV term from an otherwise objective table and replaced it with IN (-), which objectively identifies the chefs receiving elimination votes. This is not a fan site, but an encyclopedia, where we must avoid judgments and POV in labeling, and just report what actually happened; this labeling system does that. --Drmargi (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that LOW is not appropriate for this article as no one is labeled as in the bottom they just recieve votes. No one is marked as being in the bottom 2.Worstcook (talk) 03:08, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use of SOC

[edit]

I have removed the term SOC because in the show there is a winning team and one chef is marked Most Valuble Chef, since the whole team is the winner everyone should be marked with WIN. We should also discuss changing something before actually precedding to do so. Worstcook (talk) 03:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SOC doesn't imply the Stand Out Chef didn't win; it adds information by using the label the show uses. The key clarifies that the SOC is a member of the winning team. --Drmargi (talk) 06:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Which is it? MVC or SOC? The table should follow the body of the article, so if the term used in the table is wrong, the body of the article has to be changed too. As seems to be the way with the "we love tables not narrative" set (remember the last time we had this discussion), this article is becoming all about the progress table and the narrative is lagging behind. Moreover, I question the need for the second, overcolored, table structure below. That could all presented in narrative form much like the Top Chef articles do. --Drmargi (talk) 16:45, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't start the design for the episode descriptions, and haven't contributated to them very much. I think they are fine, but I an see how you think they would be better in the Top Chef format. These episode descriptions are similar to the ones you can see on the Top Shot pages onn the History Channel. On the show they call it Most Valubale Chef and I think it would be more appropriate to call it that in the articles. I changed it on both the episode descriptions and the elimination table.Worstcook (talk) 23:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think you did (the color). I've pruned that down to an appropriate level. As for the terminology, I thought I remembered it being, MVC as well, but I wasn't sure. I just want it to be accurate and used consistently. --Drmargi (talk) 08:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the article is very clear now and I do believe that that colors were a little too much going on, and a bit confusing, thankyou for making it more clear.Worstcook (talk) 03:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
