I'd Do Anything again!

Hi just wondering if I could ask for your input on the article? To be honest I'm beginning to get a bit fed up with it. I tried bringing up about how each week the results are added before the Sunday show airs on the Admin noticeboard, but got told that people weren't interested in spoilers and that if the info is correct then it should stay etc. Even though the supposed results added for last weekends shows were totally made up. Someone added that Jessie had been eliminated after a sing-off with Ashley, even adding a song they didn't sing and a whole made up speech made by Lloyd Webber.

It was brought up on the articles talk page the other day about the tables - which I know we discussed previously and how they might become too much in the end. User:Mattbr made some good points and even praised the info being added and said the article might eventually, if it carried on the same way presumably, become a "Good article" Wikipedia:Good articles. Which is fair enough. So yesterday I changed the tables back to list format, after User:RyanLupin added their comment about the tables. Now today, Ryan has added two tags after I did exactly what was asked, the "confusing article" and "very long" tags. To be honest I am getting fed up with it all as I did what was asked and then that gets added without it ever even being discussed and would be grateful for any input from you especially as much of the content is as you edited it? Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, and apologies for my message. It has probably been compounded by my being listed in a suspected sockpuppet case earlier today too which I found when I logged on, from just voting on a poll! Ah well, anyway, someone did say the other day about possibly asking on Saturday afternoon about semi-protecting the article until after the Sunday show airs (so IP and new users then wouldn't be able to edit it for that period which would be 31 hours). I am always loathe though to exclude anyone from editing just because of the actions of a few. However, I suspect that with it being Q/F stage this coming weekend and then the S/F next, both weeks will see someone adding the result before the show airs. What do you think?♦Tangerines♦·Talk 16:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
