Talk:The X Factor (British TV series) series 5/Archive 1

Semi-protection
In light of the numerous edits made by non-registered users, I've semi-protected the page to counter the endless unsourced additions, naming potential replacement judges for Osbourne. As Wikipedia is not a medium for gossip or conjecture, these edits cannot be accommodated. The page can be unprotected once the fourth judge has been officially confirmed, which should be sometime later this week :) Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Cheryl Cole confirmed!

From ITV themselves. I would add this to the article but I don't know how to add references so I was hoping someone else could do it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.6.240 (talk) 18:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Format section needed
This article is wholly without an overview of what the show is actually about. I don't actually know myself, but someone should definitely add a description to the top that doesn't assume you're already familiar with the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.228.191.181 (talk) 05:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Finalists
What's the source on the finalists?--86.137.84.153 (talk) 11:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Unconfirmed
This article needs nearly an entire re-write to remove all of the unconfirmed speculation. I've done what I can but it's been reverted. This is an encyclopedia, not a news article and there is no room for unsourced opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.84.153 (talk) 19:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
