I wanted to remove a false claim on the future of the show which can be visible in the article. So can you give me the permission to delete that statement. The sentence is given below and it is not acceptable. So I would want to delete it.

The show will be stopped due to alleged controversies. 43.250.243.125 (talk) 11:41, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done The sentence is unsourced, and I have therefore removed it. Sam Sailor 12:42, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

I wanted to add an information to the article about the controversies which have thoroughly affected the reputation of the show. Some new sources state that Kamal Haasan has fallen into trouble for hosting the show. The programme is set to stop due to the protests of Film Employees Federation of South India where it has requested to stop the shooting of the show. I wanted to insert another information that Kamal Haasan is to leave the season due to the above mentioned controversy.

@User:Namelesswarrior55 What are you going to edit?

Why its protected. Can' t edit it. Please help me to change the content. 112.134.78.124 (talk) 07:00, 6 August 2018 (UTC) There is a lot of similarities between Bigg Boss Telugu 2 and Bigg Boss Tamil 2. What's the reason behind Kamal Haasan to visit to the Bigg Boss Telugu sets from Bigg Boss Tamil sets.

Yashika Aannand was appointed as the captain of the Bigg Boss Tamil 2 on behalf of her close friend and contestant Shariq Hassan's nomination before his shock exit from the show due to gaining low votes. 175.157.216.89 (talk) 09:08, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

I wanted to add the following. The Bigg Boss inmates were issued the notice of the death of political veteran M. Karunanidhi who passed away on 7 August and the house inmates paid tribute and respect to him during the show. These are the references.

 * Yes check.svg Done I have accepted this request because the person seems to be a well notable politician in Tamil Nadu as well as in other states of India. Looks like you have also asked for this to be added into the article of that late politician when I looked at your request at the talk page of M. Karunanidhi, but it is irrelevant to include this fact there. Abishe (talk) 12:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Strikeouts
Though I applaud you for being the first person to actually address the strikeout issue in this edit, let's be very clear about something: This is an encyclopedia article, not a fansite. Ambiguous coding that only makes sense to people who watch the series is not helpful for this project. We are supposed to present information to the widest possible audience, so we have to assume someone in Brazil isn't going to understand what the strikethroughs mean. We typically do not use strikethroughs in encyclopedic prose, because it's not terribly professional, it is potentially ambiguous (as in this case), and because it is a contravention of our Accessibility guidelines; strikethroughs make it difficult for people with vision impairments to read text, and some computerised screen readers don't process them well. See MOS:NOSYMBOLS.

Your embedded note says that the strikethrough indicate "that the person was disassociated with something in the Bigg Boss Tamil show for some reason; like being stripped as house captain or being saved from the eviction". Okay, then we should be expressing that with actual words and sentences like we'd expect an academic tome to do. Why would we err on the side of ambiguity and lack of detail, especially if the content is allegedly of importance? When someone unfamiliar with the series looks at this...

...there is no context for what the strikethrough means. Zero. It is a totally ambiguous method of formatting. Did Ramya die? Was Ramya's name added to the table by mistake? Did a vandal cross out Ramya's name because they don't like her? Ambiguous. What would make more sense is explaining the details:

or

There's no rule anywhere at Wikipedia that says details have to be explained in two words or less. We write clearly, so that people unfamiliar with the series have a full idea of how it works. So how do you want to remedy this, since the ambiguous strikethroughs should not be used? Do you have enough information about the series to provide explanations similar to what I've proposed above? Do you have an alternative idea? Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:44, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Wanted to add that a technician called Gunasekaran died on 10 September during the show while being employed as one of the crew members in the ongoing Bigg Boss Tamil 2.

 * Yes check.svg Done I added it here in a Production section that I stuffed in between the cast list and the guest list. Hard to find a place for it among that giant wall of useless fancruft.

I earnestly ask somebody to delete this article either by Afd or PROD or speedy deletion because it is less notable and this show has deceived the audience with fake votings. What's the point of inviting Vijay Deverekonda and Sunaina as guests to this show? Just to spoil their names. 43.250.241.18 (talk) 15:31, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

The show is already ended just before the start of October and it is still protected until 28 December 2018. Why is that and the number of edits would diminish within this period. 112.134.78.130 (talk) 09:08, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

 * You would need to go to the talk page of each respective WikiProject for an answer to that. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Content assessment is done by members of one or more of the Wikiprojects associated with this article. I suggest posting your request at WT:TV. That said, please explain why you made the opposite request at Talk:Bigg Boss Telugu 2 requesting to change that article from List-class to Start-class? &#8209;&#8209; El Hef  ( Meep? ) 14:05, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: As a member of WP:BIGBRO a child Wikiproject of WP:TV I reviewed and re-rated Talk:Bigg Boss Telugu 2 accordingly based on both projects assessment scale since this article falls under the scope of both. I also updated WP:India since their assessment department is currently inactive for the most part due to lack of volunteer reviewers.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  09:58, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

@User:Cyphoidbomb Please protect this page, lot of IP Vandalism and people who hate this show is describing the content in a very bad manner. Lot of tamil bad words are used in between the content. Request you to revert to the good version -Lesenwriter (talk) 06:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know which version is the good version. You should revert if you have a better sense of that. I've protected the article for 3 weeks. Also, please note that if you want to ping someone, you should use the ping template. I only happened to see your comment because by chance I noticed a talk page post in my watchlist.
