Elimination Table

I will start using the Talk Page more frequently then I was to tell you guys why I edited the thing I was editing like that. I use the terms None in italicized letters and N/A in regular text, just to make it easier for a person to understand and read. None indicates that there was no winner, and N/A indicates that there was no camera or mini challenge, as you guys already know by now. It is done in all the other seasons (besides Season 6) and I just thought that I would do it for Season 4. Thank you guys so much! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.90.92 (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm glad you're beginning to understand the use of the talk page. That's a big step forward. Now let's work on your understanding of edit warring and consensus. Commenting on a talk page done to open a discussion, not simply explain what you want with the expectation it will remain. At the time FNS 4 ran, a group of editors agreed upon the formatting for the article. The none-N/A thing is only part of what you changed; you did other formatting and removed several notes. Those need to be discussed, and frankly, "it's in the other articles" isn't persuasive to me. Each season is different, and each article will be different. You can't expect them to be perfectly uniform. As a rule, none is used when something doesn't happen, and N/A is used when a term or statement doesn't apply -- they have different meanings. That's probably why they used none with a note. Regardless, N/A needs to be explained. Moreover, you've also removed a note indicating there was no winner of one or more of the mini challenges with no alternative explanation in the table. Given that, I'm going to revert back (particularly since you shouldn't have reverted yet again to begin with), and let's talk about how to make this work. --Drmargi (talk) 17:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
