Songs in Week One[edit]

You list Mama Told Me Not To Come as Tom Jones & Stereophonics, which was a great version. But the original was written by Randy Newman and also covered brilliantly by Three Dog Night. Should probably be listed as by one of those two. Tullydawg (talk) 14:04, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The way it's been done for the song charts in all the past seasons is that the version used (also the one listed on abc.com) is the one that is listed. It does get confusing because a lot of songs have multiple versions/recordings, but this was sort of a consensus reached a while ago. Onesmallnote (talk) 03:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Mike" vs. "Situation"[edit]

Since there seems to be an edit war over what to call him, why don't we just try to establish some sort of consensus? His name is Mike, but everything on-screen lists him as Situation. So...ideas? —烏Γ (kaw at me), 01:03, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a similar situation (no pun intended) exists with Maksim; on-screen he's usually listed as Maks. —烏Γ (kaw at me), 01:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think they (The Situation and Maksim) must be called in the article as the way they are called in the show. NandoHough (talk) 03:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Macy's Stars of Dance[edit]

This is incomplete for the late September performance, and how about putting the Mark vs Max's brother thing (oct 5th) in here as well.--Cooly123 01:50, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Average Score Chart Dances[edit]

For every couple who was in week 4, the number of dances in the Average Score Chart is one more than it should be. I understand that the Total is divided by the number currently in the chart to get the average, because that is the number of 30-point SCORES. Week 4 had two SCORES per couple, not two DANCES per couple. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vupiccolo08 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed now --MSalmon (talk) 21:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the average chart it has Jennifer and Derek's avg score as being 27.2, but 462 (their total score) divided by 16 (number of dances) is 28.8 and not 27.2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.88.88.19 (talk) 16:02, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done --MSalmon (talk) 16:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It still says 27.2??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.88.88.19 (talk) 02:16, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the number of dances, you have to add one to the total of all contestants who were there week 4 and onward, because that week was the double score showdown, so there were two sets of scores for the one dance. 462/17=27.2 Onesmallnote (talk) 07:35, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting for removing the "Stub" sign[edit]

This article ain't a stub!!!! could you delete the sigh that says "This article is a stub"?

200th show[edit]

More information should be included in this section, and this section should be both here in the 11th series page and the main article.--Cooly123 00:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Cheating Allegation[edit]

Is it worth noting the cheating allegation of several conservative groups telling its members they don't need a valid email address to vote thus creating infinite number of email votes? http://jezebel.com/5691445/how-palin-conservatives-are-cheating-the-dwts-voting-system —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.216.218.138 (talk) 12:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't need a valid email that's DWTS problem and it was available to everyone. That's more of gaming the system and many voters did it. I voted for Brandy about 30x the same way. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The executive producer has stated that type of "cheating" described is impossible.[1] Kelly hi! 23:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Call-out Order Table[edit]

The Call-out Order Table is full of mistakes, and needs to be fixed or removed. I'd tackle it; but: I don't have the data to do the work. --heathquinn 23:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if it's been fixed or what, but I have the data, and I read over the table and there are no errors now. Onesmallnote (talk) 03:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Call-out Order Table needs to be fixed again, for episode 10, the finale. The call-out order is reversed (and as such, the colors need to be changed, too). 75.20.154.204 (talk) 04:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The reason the finale order is listed that way because it's 1st 2nd 3rd place. It's fine the way it is. Onesmallnote (talk) 05:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One more reason is that is 'has always been done like that' in all the wiki pages. Someone could update all the pages though, it would be more correct than it is now.

Bristol Palin[edit]

I take issue with her being listed as a "Teen Pregnancy Prevention Activist" instead of the real reason she's on the show, being the daughter of the former candidate for the vice presidency. Sure, a couple weeks ago she shot a teen pregnancy PSA, that does not make her notable for it, nor does it make her a "star" for it. Her "stardom" comes from the campaign, her relationship with Levi Johnson, and all of that; very, very little comes from her shooting a 30 second PSA, if any. In my opinion, it should be changed to the real reason she's allegedly a "star." 99.169.250.133 (talk) 03:08, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the show introduced her otherwise. Discuss to see if there is consensus to add it to the teen pregnancy activist. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The show introduced her as a cast member by saying she was the daughter of Sarah Palin, not a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Activist." 99.169.250.133 (talk) 03:19, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, no - she was consistently introduced as a "teen activist". Kelly hi! 03:23, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, for the first several shows, she was introduced as Sarah Palin's daughter. Only after her 30 second PSA with the doofus from Jersey Shore was she mentioned as an "Activist." 99.169.250.133 (talk) 00:28, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Overall it was "Teen Pregnancy Prevention Activist." The show at times also introduced Jennifer Gray as the "Dirty Dancer" and Florence Henderson as "America's Mom" but those monikers aren't in the chart either. So when they pull out the "Alaska's most famous daughter" stuff it's in the same realm. Fyunck(click) (talk) 00:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Averages with Team Dances[edit]

Do you think the team dances should be included in averages? They do not really relate to the individuals' scores as much as an individual dance. What do you all think? TDI19 (talk) 01:06, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dogs[edit]

What do dogs have to do with Dancing with the Stars, anyways?! --67.81.194.190 (talk) 01:43, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced WP:IINFO and stats[edit]

The following sections contain no sources:

Does anyone have a source for any of this information that meets WP:VERIFY? Sottolacqua (talk) 14:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, Sottolacqua, please don't delete all that informations please! Everybody needs them! And those are truth! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.71.165.223 (talk) 15:27, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That addresses none of the issues described in WP:VERIFY and WP:IINFO. Participate in a discussion instead of edit warring. Sottolacqua (talk) 15:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You could link the you tube videos as a source but it isn't needed. The person writing this watched the show and filled in these scores etc. (as well as those for season 12) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.144.241.71 (talk) 18:08, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Finding sources for scores, songs or dances[edit]

There are dozens (hundreds) of articles in the OK Magazine website (for example), which include most of the details for the weekly scores, dances, songs, and elimination date for each couple, plus the reported injuries of each dancer. See Google Search for:

Google:  site:www.okmagazine.com "DWTS Watch" 2010

That search will list results matching news reports for U.S. season 11, as well as U.S. season 10 (which ran in early 2010). For example:

• "'DWTS' Watch: Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough Rule the Dance Floor" (Sep. 28, 2010)
• "'DWTS' Watch: Jennifer Grey Tangos to the Top" (Oct. 12, 2010)
• "'DWTS' Watch: Bristol Palin Bombs; Brandy's the Best" (Oct. 19, 2010)
• "'DWTS' Watch: Brandy & Jennifer Grey Tie for First" (Nov. 2, 2010)
• "DWTS Watch: Brandy Elimated; Bristol Palin Makes the Finals" (Nov. 19, 2010)

There is one major "DWTS Watch" report for each of the 10 weeks, and several others for specific celebrities during each week. Including other websites, such as CBS News, there are many hundreds of source webpages. The tables in the Wikipedia article are composites from checking the sources for each week of the competition. -Wikid77 (talk) 04:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
