Talk:Big Brother 9 (American season)

General MoS table for reference

Good Bad References Sourcing of all information pertaining to the show. This is not to say that all sentences must be followed by a <ref> tag, but on statements of House events, it is requested that sources be applied. Facts about housemates must also be referenced or they will be deleted. Do not space between punctuation and reference tag and make sure tag goes after punctuation. Inadequate souring in chronology and housemate sections. Not referencing housemate information can even be a source of libel. HouseGuests A well written but not very long section for each HouseGuest, containing referenced birth dates, pre- and post-Big Brother life, entrance and eviction dates, and actions within the house. If the article goes over 55-60kB with the HouseGuests section being the majority, it should be split. Too long without being split or too short. Eviction table Look at the tables for Big Brother 2005 (UK) and Big Brother 2006 (UK). Contrary to what has been done on past BBUS articles despite its inaccuracy, the eviction (bottom) row should read '''X'''<br>5 of 6 votes<br><small>to evict</small>. This is the international standard. Incorrect colour coding, twist syntax, or having the entire evicted [Evicted (Day 14)] row italicised. Only "Evicted" should be italicised. Commas within lists of nominated/evicted housemates. Chronology Short, referenced, concise. The chronology reads like a short selection of extremely major events: HoH, evicted, PoV, nominated, et alii. No minor or useless house events or strategic information. Anything similar to Big Brother 8 (U.S.)'s chronology. House A picture (fair-use rational acceptable) should be used just to illustrate the house. A relatively cited description of major changes in décor or layout. No section or one that is confusing and poorly cited. Lexicon Untitled HouseGuest House (capitalised) Day 25 (capitalised and cardinal, not ordinal, number) HoH, Head of Household PoV, Power of Veto 5 of 6 votes to evict HG, houseguest, Houseguest house day 25 HOH, hoh POV, pov, veto (except when used as a verb) 5 to evict Eviction Table/Voting History Color Guide Head of Household Nominated Evicted Not Eligible Exempt Expelled Walked Jury Member Power Couple Re-evicted No Nominations #CCFFCC #959FFD #FA8072 #CCCCCC #FBF373 #FFE08B #FFCCFF #CCCCFF #C3B091 To use place style="background:[COLOR];"| in the square needed. Replace [COLOR] with one listed above. Exempt needs to be used only when another HouseGuest other than the Head of Household has been awarded immunity from eviction for that week. See Big Brother 8's voting table.

Recent changes

I would just like to point out that all BB articles should now have a written summary rather than the weekly chart. I had already went through and fixed all of the other seasons, including this one. For some reason, the changes keep being reverted despite the summary being fully sourced and correct. Why is this? Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully reply! :) -- Sethjohnson95
