Brave new world predicted[edit]

Wikipedia is Big Brother, you sit there editing the past to conform to what is commonly assumed to be correct, you've started the end of human civilisation and freedom! —The preceding ungood comment was added by 86.31.9.88 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Big Brother Award.jpg[edit]

Image:Big Brother Award.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

No Listing of Award Winners[edit]

There is a temptation to list the winners of the Big Brother Awards, however I strongly advise against doing so.

While researching the first US awards I found a report that at least one of the recipients challenged the basis upon which they had been given the award. There will be cases where there are reliable sources that state who was given which award. However it is likely that there will be cases where the people making the awards have not checked their facts so diligently. Given the high probability of naming undeserving recipients, the safest policy is to name none. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 09:27, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly like saying we shouldn't list the recipients of the Oscars because such or such movie was undeserving of the award. Wikipedia is to provide information which exists out there, not to self-censor on the basis of opinion.Rosa 08:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh come on please add the list, I just came across this article and it's pretty bad without the list, I now have to go look elsewhere for it since wikipedia doesn't have it.BlueBerryWizard (talk) 15:24, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Big Brother Awards. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
