Double Eliminations in the Elimination Order[edit]

Someone reverted my edits to the elimination table, claiming that Bridgette placed above Geoff just because Geoff entered the limo first, and that Owen is above Courtney because he entered the limo later. Why, exactly, should something like that determine place in the case of a double elimination? In the case of Geoff and Bridgette, they both got enough votes to secure their eliminations, and did not compete in anything game related during those few seconds Bridgette stayed on. The order they left does not matter and it is a rediculous form of trivia to use that to base who ranked higher, especially since Blaineley and Courtney are listed as tied just because they happened to drop at the exact same time. If Courtney and Blainely are tied, then Geoff and Bridgette should definitly be too, and maybe Owen and Courtney. (It's tricky for the latter since Owen was fired while Courtney was voted off.)

With Izzy and DJ in World Tour, their seperation makes sense since Izzy's removal was mid game during the challenge and DJ lost in an entirly seperate elimination ceremony. My point is that if they lose at the same elimination ceremony, the exact order they left shouldn't determine a tie break. Counting a few seconds is just unnecessarly trivial even for the Total Drama wiki, let alone here; we can just leave it at a tie. This is a table for how they played the game, not how long they managed to stay on. Changing the places just makes the thing rather confusing and over analytical.

Adendum: And yeah, not even the Total Drama wiki (which has very lengthy trivia sections for every character article I read) counts those few seconds. Bridgette and Geoff are tied, and so are Owen and Courtney. Great Pikmin Fan (TD) (Talk) 02:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, you may be right, I reverted my change which merged both of the ranks together. Also, it seems that there was no third place, so I have added Courtney as the 14th voted out and Owen as disqualified, both taking 3rd and 4th Giggett (talk) 04:24, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think that Bridgette should be put before Geoff because "B" comes before "G", but they should both say 14-15. for Owen and Courtney, they should both say 3-4, but have Owen be after Courtney as he entered a bit later and not together. Blaineley should be after Courtney because "B" comes before "C", but they should both have 6-7 on them. Izzy should have 13 and DJ with 12. On TDRI, Anne Maria & Brick should both have 8-9, because they still took the Hurl of Shame together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.70.71 (talk) 17:32, 20 August 2012 (UTC) .[reply]

Eliminations on Episode Tables[edit]

I've had a problem with a user with a changing IP that keeps adding eliminations on the episode tables several times. A few months ago we all agreed that eliminations were to no longer be added on these articles but this user just keeps adding them and as soon as I remove them, the user adds them back. I don't want to remove the eliminations again since I don't want to get into an edit war, so I'm asking if anyone reading this can remove those eliminations since I can't do it myself without being banned since I don't want to pass 3 reverts.

Colour contrast problems[edit]

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
