;Project Updates
* A number of recent discussions have occurred to bring the Big Brother WIkiProject closer inline with Wikipedia guidelines and policies
** Recent move discussions have allowed the project to follow Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)|naming conventions for television]]:
*** An initial [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Big_Brother/Archive_7#Renaming_Big_Brother_season_articles_to_align_with_WP:NCTV|discussion]] was a first attempt at allowing community input on moving ''Big Brother'' articles.
*** A [[Talk:Celebrity_Big_Brother_1_(American_season)#Requested_move_28_May_2018|mass move request]] resulted from the above discussion however, it was closed as no consensus due to the largeness of the request
*** Other smaller move requests shortly followed suit on whether or not articles needed renaming.These requests and their result are listed: [[Talk:Big_Brother_Africa_(season_1)#Requested_move_21_June_2018|Africa, moved]]; [[Talk:Big_Brother:_Over_the_Top#Requested_move_12_July_2018|Big Brother: Over the Top, moved; Gran Hermano USA, moved]]; [[Talk:VIP_Brother_(season_1)#Requested_move_28_November_2018|VIP Brother, moved]]; [[Talk:Big_Brother_(Finnish_season_1)#Requested_move_28_November_2018|Finnish, moved]]; [[Talk:Gran_Hermano_(Spanish_season_1)#Requested_move_1_December_2018|Gran Hermano Spain, moved]]; [[Talk:Secret_Story_1_(Portuguese_season)#Requested_move_5_December_2018|Secret Story Portuguese, moved]]; [[Talk:Big_Brother_(British_series_1)#Requested_move_22_December_2018|United Kingdom, moved]]; [[Talk:Big_Brother_1_(American_season)#Requested_move_22_December_2018|United States, moved]].
***Following a community-wide [[WP:RFC|request for comment]] at NCTV [[Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(television)#RFC:_What_disambiguation_should_shows_from_the_United_States_and_United_Kingdom_use?|it was decided]] that American and British should be used as disambiguators over U.S. and UK. All affected Big Brother articles were subsequently moved.
** A [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Big_Brother/Archive_7#Discussion_about_Template:Big_Brother_housemates_and_Template:Big_Brother_endgame|recent discussion]] on the former [[Template:Big Brother housemates]] and [[Template:Big Brother endagame]] was brought to replace these outdated infoboxes.
*** The issue was eventually [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2018_December_5#Big_Brother_season_templates|brought to TFD]] with a result to merge with [[Template:Infobox television season]].
*** [[Template:Infobox reality competition season]] was created to nest inside [[Template:Infobox television season]] and all infoboxes were replaced.
**In addition a [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2019_April_23#Template:Big_Brother_sidebar|discussion]] also took place on the former [[Template:Big Brother sidebar]] and country specific sidebars.
***The result was delete and all templates were replaced with [[Template:Infobox television]].

Greetings!

After a successful [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/2018|first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year]], we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine|The AfroCine Project]] welcomes you to October, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content]] that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Participants|list your name under the participants section]].

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

*'''''Overall winner''''' (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
*'''''Diversity winner'''''
*'''''Gender-gap fillers'''''

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|here]].

; Project objectives
* Continue to improve ''Big Brother'' articles to bring them inline with [[MOS:TV]]
** All ''Big Brother'' parent articles should contain {{tl|Infobox television}} and {{tl|Series overview}}, either housed on the article or transcluded from a List of Episodes article, if there is more than one season of the series (see [[Big Brother (American TV series)|''Big Brother'' (American TV series)]] and [[Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series)|''Celebrity Big Brother'' (British TV series)]] for examples).
** All ''Big Brother'' season articles should contain {{tl|Infobox television season}} with the module {{tl|Infobox reality competition season}} (see [[Big Brother Canada (season 9)|''Big Brother Canada'' (season 9)]] for an example).
** The use of {{tl|Episode table}} and {{tl|Episode list}} with episode summaries of 200 words or less, or a general prose summary of 500 words or less, are preferred over other tables or formats (see [[Big Brother 23 (American season)|''Big Brother'' 23 (American season)]] for example).
** Both ''Big Brother'' parent and season articles should follow the general format of articles described at [[MOS:TV]] (see [[Big Brother 21 (American season)|''Big Brother'' 21 (American season)]] for an example).
** Any ''Big Brother'' series containing only one season should use {{tl|Infobox television}}, {{tl|Episode table}}, and {{tl|Episode list}} in its article but '''not''' {{tl|Series overview}} or any other season-specific templates such as {{tl|Infobox television season}} (see ''[[Big Brother: Over the Top]]'' for an example).
** Where possible both ''Big Brother'' parent and season articles should have information regarding production of the series.
* Per [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Big Brother 1 (American season) houseguests|this discussion]] individual seasons of ''Big Brother'' should no longer contain a standalone article of contestants.
* The [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television]] has caused numerous seasons or editions to be cancelled, postponed, or adjusted significantly; any information relating to this can be added in appropriate production sections.

;Community discussions
* Please take time to visit a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Big_Brother#Community_discussions|list of our current community discussions]] and participate.
** [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Television#Standardized_terms_for_elimination-style_reality_program_progress_tables|Discussion regarding standardization of terms used in progress tables]].
** [[Wikipedia:Notability (television)]] is currently being drafted regarding the notability of television series, seasons and episodes.

* It has been requested that the following articles have episode summary sections
** [[Celebrity Big Brother 3 (UK)]] - since August 25, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 1)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 2)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 3)]] - since September 14, 2006
** [[Big Brother (Australia series 4)]] - since September 14, 2006

== Survey about How Historical Knowledge is Produced on Wikipedia  ==

Hi Sean,

I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

== [[Wikipedia:The World Destubathon|The World Destubathon]] ==
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize and a $300 top prize for most Geography and Place destubs and improvements, with a big focus intended on populated places and districts. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 09:23, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
