Talk:The Real World: Cancun

Hotel and cast
I just came back from cancun they were definetly filming the real world at ME (the hotel we stood at) the housemates are working with studentcity.com and were walking around the hotel lobby (cameras following them)

Per usual before the official announcement, Vevmo has the cast listed. http://vevmo.com/f56/the-real-world-cancun-complete-cast-2978/ 64.89.250.90 (talk) 12:57, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip Zredsox. 98.212.129.124 (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, realityblurred is now linking to that story (listing the cast names) and BMP is linking to that realityblurred article, so there might be enough to start a cast table. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_real_world_cancun/2009_Apr_28_cast_house_swine_flu http://twitter.com/BunimMurray 64.89.250.90 (talk) 13:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Then start the damn thing already, lol. No offense but we at vevmo knew of the cast since filming began.66.157.30.183 (talk) 23:56, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I got things started. Hopefully someone can run with it and get it in line with the quality standards that the other seasons have in place.Neutralis (talk) 13:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

CANCEL
The filming of the Real World Cancun has been canceled by MTV due to the spread of Swine Influenza in Mexico —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jowee623 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Funny rumor that is entirely untrue and has no place in this article. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610286/20090429/story.jhtml 64.89.250.90 (talk) 12:02, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Picture
I am not very familiar with the CC license and how it applies to wikipedia. I'd like to use a picture of the ME Cancun that is listed as CC - http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewl04/1326202250/ but am not sure if it can be used. Neutralis (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I was able to make the determination reading the flickr faq on wiki commons that the photo in question is not acceptable.Neutralis (talk) 20:49, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hotel
So I've been watching the Real World since the beginning and an emphasis has always been placed on the Real World 'House'. I've recently tried to include a link to this season's 'house' which happens to be a hotel. Editors have removed the link citing that it is an 'advertisement'. I'll begin by saying that I'm certainly not advertising for the hotel. In all honesty, I think the whole Real World' page is pretty much an advertisement.

Just curious to get feedback from the rest of the community on whether including a link to the real world 'house' would benefit this listing. Cheers


 * The article is not an advertisement, at least not as a primary function. Its primary function is to present general knowledge about its subject to readers. Information about the residence is perfectly fine, but only as it pertains to the show. To this end, the links to realworldhouses.com and other news sources fulfil that function, giving info about the residence in terms of its use on the show. The link to the business' website does not. It's just the site for the hotel, which gives no information about the show. Nightscream (talk) 04:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Plastikspork (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * To your point, if links to realworldhouses.com are appropriate, what are your thoughts on the relevance of a link to realworldsuiteme.com? This is the official website of the Real World Cancun Suite. Thanks for your feedback on this matter. RickMagg (talk) 10:59, 26 June 2009 (EST)

Any time. As for that other site you just mentioned, it does not appear to offer any information relevant to the article. Nightscream (talk) 04:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, that's correct. Do you have a point to make, or an idea of how to improve the article? Nightscream (talk) 05:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
