Hello, I'm AldezD. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Eggheads (TV series) that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ''Please do not make personal attacks in an edit summary. '' AldezD (talk) 20:38, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Eggheads
Hi there!

Do you remember me? I used to help out keeping the Eggheads article up to date. I don't really do much on the article anymore, because I'm busy and I usually watch Eggheads later on iPlayer, so I avoid the article so as not to see spoilers. However, I was just passing and I noticed that there has been a bit of conflict regarding the old 'Teams who have defeated the Eggheads' table, which has been taken down by another user.

Is there anything I can do to help? Personally I really feel that the table should be put back up - the information wasn't erroneous, and it really added something to the article. Ultimately, it's all the other user's own opinions that have taken it down. There are rules, but there are different interpretations of them, and I think that they should be followed on a case-by-case basis, rather than just blindly following them regardless of the situation.

Anything I can help with would be much appreciated. If it helps, here is the talk page for the article on The Chase. There was a similar conflict on that recently, and eventually a compromise was met by someone making a separate article with that information. The separate article was subsequently taken down, so maybe someone will try to reinstate it on the main article. The talk page contains some useful debating points: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Chase_(UK_game_show)

I checked, and the last time that the 'winning teams' was updated (before it was taken down) was for Series 14, Episode 49. The last episode I watched was Series 14, Episode 69 (last Friday), when the jackpot was up to £20,000, so unless the Eggheads have been defeated this week (and please don't spoil it for me if they have) there has not been another winning team since the last time it was on Wikipedia. That should make things easier - we can just restore what was there before, without having to worry about anyone winning without being added to the list whilst it was down.

I think we should carry on reinstating it - it has been there for years, is not causing a problem and there has not been any change in circumstances to suggest that it is no longer relevant. The rules are there for a reason, but I think that they should not be blindly followed, but used as guidelines to follow where appropriate. I would say common sense should come first. The article was more detailed and provided more information on the subject when it was there. See Ignore All Rules. George.millman (talk) 23:12, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Sphagetti
Hiya Cricket Scorer, it is good that you maintain the winner table but I do have the video & Sphagetti did win £19,000 not £20,000. Stacie Croquet (talk) 21:44, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
