Hi,

I'd like to request Burecraut rights on this wiki. I promise not to abuse my power, it's just that I want to make this wiki better. I already see many things that can be done.

 * I can add a grapic wordmark if you like in replace of the words (title area thing), I can edit the community corner if you want, I can change the auto welcome bot (User:Wikia) messages. I can change the You have a new Message thing to say whatever, add policies if nescessary, do the blocks, all that admin stuff (including page protection), I can change that navigation bar, make some disambiguation pages, edit some mediawiki things, archives, add a chat to the sidebar from the wikia labs section, make userboxes, and some other things.

Admin Vs. Bureaucrat
There, as far as I know, is that you can not remove Bureaucrat rights but Admin you can and that Bureaucrats can promote users. If I can't edit something, I'll let you know. (But I shouldn't have any problems ;) )

Spotlight Request
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape. There are a handful of uncategorized pages; could you sort those out? Also, the main page could use a little bit of sprucing up, and would need at the least a picture added to it to meet the spotlight criteria. Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:39, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
I am the founder of America's Got Talent Wiki, I just started this wiki just before I realized that this wiki is already here. So I thought of asking you if we can merge my wiki with this one, so that we can all work together on this project and make America's Got Talent Wiki a great wiki with alot of contributers. Thanks in advance.MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 01:00, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Merging
Actually, merging is just when two wikis merge their articles. So as in this case, you would merge all their articles with yours, and then the founder of the other wiki will contact support to close their wiki. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Head <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">of <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Ravenclaw  | <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Message ME!!! </i> 15:31, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that is correct. But since there isn't any articles on my wiki, we can just redirect that domain or sub-domain to here. And I really suggest making americasgottalent.wikia.com domain name be the official domain name for this wiki. Because wiki's domain names always the official name of the subject it is on not what they are known as. For example Harry Potter is also known as HP, the domain name is harrypotter.wikia.com not hp.wikia.com. But the wiki can be named the hp wiki. Now if you agree, then all we just need to do is contact one of wikia's staff and he will help.MarwanNabihWikia (Talk | contribs) 19:23, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Request #2
Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:03, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Many of Walt Winston's fans believe he should be added as a Season 7 Act since he did perform in St. Louis and many of his local fans saw his performance in person. Sadly, his performance did not air. Last Season's performance was a dis-service to him as this year he did much much better and should have aired. I was at the performance in St. Louis and he played very well.

Inactive
Sorry I've been inactive, but since I'm not too good at writing articles I haven't been able to help out much. If there's something I can do let me know.

 * It's okay. Without you, the wiki wouldn't look nearly as great as it looks now! To be honest, there isn't much to help with at the moment. Season 7 so far is complete, and Season 5 information is nearly complete. I'll contact you if there's something you can do. :) Erik10101 20:18, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Other seasons
Hi, I'm wondering if seasons 1 - 4 will be added to this wikia as well at one point? Because unlike seasons 5, 6, and 7, they aren't completely up on Youtube.

Audition All-Stars
Hi, another question, since there's a Season 5 Guest Performers category now, would there be a point in adding an Audition All-Stars category or something for the acts that returned to take part in the finales?

Episode Tonight
The episode tonight was probably the best single episode in performances ever. I liked 8 of the 12. -- Webkinz Mania 02:13, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

New Pages
Alright. I just figured I'd add them quickly since they weren't up yet.

Also, are the audition images I'm inserting acceptable? Because I've noticed a few times that some of them were replaced.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:01, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Do you take the entire screencaps when the video is in full screen? I usually don't, which is why I cut the still of the video out. But if that's how you do it then sure I will too. JayDK103 (talk) 01:51, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the notice, and I'll go ahead and replace the last few I took. If you can, let me know if they're better. Thanks JayDK103 (talk) 02:03, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Drag Acts
Hi,

I have a question regarding drag acts. Should we refer to them as males or females? Such as Dorae Saunders who I was currently working on, for example.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:45, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Erik10101,

You've got one of the act names wrong. On YouTube they changed "Bones & the Machine" to "Bones the Machine and djaaron". Just wanted to let you know.

˜˜˜˜

New Categories
Sure, I think it's a good idea. I believe we already have a singing group category though.

For the singing duos, are we going to divide them by gender or just put all singing duos into one category?

Also, past Vegas Weeks on the show have had the kids compete in their own category. Would that work on here as well?

JayDK103 (talk) 05:42, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

For the Kid acts I was thinking about labelling those that are only kids, not a mixture of kids and adults. But then again, I agree with you. It might not be the best idea. JayDK103 (talk) 06:55, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Is there a way to mass delete the Singers category and make it disappear on all the acts' pages so we don't have to individually remove them from each page? It would be easier. JayDK103 (talk) 07:17, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. And to again bring up the Drag Acts, we're going to add them all to the Male Singers category, right?

And speaking of drag acts, Maximilliana from season 2 is indeed male, I believe? Although that in my opinion would be the hardest to tell. JayDK103 (talk)

Is it ok to add duos like Eric & Olivia and The Millers where one person sings and the other plays an instrument into the Band category? JayDK103 (talk) 07:48, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Eric & Olivia are currently listed as Singer and Instrumentalist. I guess we can keep it that way then? Add the Female Singer category and leave the Instrumentalist for Eric? If so, same can be done for Aaralyn and Izzy JayDK103 (talk) 07:54, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

76.208.144.214
The user is continually adding information to certain pages without proof despite you and I both having reversed their edits. They also never responded to the question about the unproven names they have added to last year's auditions.

JayDK103 (talk) 21:30, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Unnamed Acts
Would it be benificial to have a page or a list or something with photos of all the unnamed acts per season? That way there might be a better chance of eventually identifying them. JayDK103 (talk) 01:31, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

I think the new episode threads are a good idea. What do you think about also including the use of the buzzers per act, or would that be too much?

The Season 7 auditions page has a list of the unnamed acts, and of course in past seasons, there were a couple seen in the Vegas round that were never identified. Maybe eventually I could start listing some of them, after the two missing seasons are more complete.

Also, I've started editing some finalists' pages removing such categories like "Season 3 Winners" or "Season 3 2nd place". I don't know who originally added them but in my opinion categories like that seem pretty pointless since there's obviously only one act that can fit each of them. JayDK103 (talk) 01:42, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks.

I think it is him. I managed to find his website and he has listed himself appearing on AGT in 2007. http://mrmystic.com/tour_dates.html

So I think we got a match. Thanks!

As for other unnamed acts, sometimes I've gotten pretty lucky in finding them. For example, Octavius Womack from season 7 was never named on the show, but the song he sang was Superstar. I went to Youtube, searched for "Superstar cover", and amazingly his cover was the first result.

Hopefully we can fill in more of them eventually.

JayDK103 (talk) 04:56, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, just the Vegas page, right?

By the way, the HumanSlinky channel on Dailymotion uploaded the automatic results, in case I missed anyone. There were at least two acts I couldn't recognize straight away.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:14, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Number of Quarterfinalists
I thought I heard Nick say in the beginning that 60 acts will be moving on, and not 55.

It makes sense if, for example, they drop the YouTube round, which is what I'm assuming will happen this year.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:02, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11zdm8_talent-selection-agt-2013-vegas-week_tv

Nick says 60 at around the 3:50 mark.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:11, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Forte
Should Forte's current image be changed since it looks like one of their members was replaced?

JayDK103 (talk) 11:59, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I'm wondering who your personal favorites are from the remaining acts this season?

For me, Hype and Kenichi are two of them. Travis too if he hadn't been cut tonight. JayDK103 (talk) 04:20, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Oh I really like Sprice too. I didn't like Special Head's audition and personally thought he was overrated but in Vegas he impressed me more.

What is your general view of singers on the show?

I'm not a fan of how singers have won every season but one so far. Terry, for me, was the best winner of all time though. I'd put Kevin Skinner at the bottom of that list. JayDK103 (talk) 06:48, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Wow that's pretty funny but also pretty cool at the same time. Aaralyn and Izzy have a bunch of votes on the poll so far too. They have quite a YouTube fan base, as far as I know.

I was also gonna ask you, based on what we know of the acts so far, which four you think will move on from the first group?

I think it's a really tough one to be honest. Anna, Special Head, Hitmen, Collins, Branden, and Hype all have a good chance. But of course it may also depend on whether they manage to somehow screw up or not.

I'm personally hoping Travis comes back to the Wildcard, but if both Branden and Jonathan make the Semis then it probably won't happen.

JayDK103 (talk) 05:01, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sure. I'll go ahead and do the Quarterfinal and Ep 810 threads and you can do the act descriptions since I believe you do a better job at it, if that's okay. JayDK103 (talk) 01:17, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

So after seeing all of the performances, which four do you think are moving on?

I think Special Head is surely out of it, along with Fresh Faces and Kevin. Tellavision might have a chance, but it seems a bit dim.

I think Brendan, KriStef, and maybe Collins/Hitmen will be the top three? With the judges vote coming down to whichever of Collins/Hitmen isn't in the top three and someone like Hype, Anna, or Alexanderia. I don't know. Something like that.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:28, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Tellavision
The NBC site and their Facebook stylizes the spelling as tellAvision with the emphasis on the A. I tried changing the page name to that but the first T is automatically capitalized. I guess we'll just leave it how it is then?

JayDK103 (talk) 10:12, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Were you pleased with the results tonight?

And also, since we brought up the winners a couple days ago, how would you rank them? JayDK103 (talk) 02:55, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I really wanted to see Hitmen go through, and honestly, I'm not a big fan of Collins. Most of the tricks he's done (the predicting) were pretty much the same, weren't they?

Here's how I'd rank the winners:

1. Terry

2. Landau

3. Olate Dogs

4. Michael

5. Bianca

6. Neal

7. Kevin

Season six was the first season I watched live and was rooting for Landau and iLuminate the entire time.

Regarding next week, here's what I think:

Alexandr - Out

Angela - In

Aquanuts - ?

Brad - Out

Ciana - ?

Dave S - ?

Forte - In

Innovative Force - Out

Kid the Wiz - Out

Marty - In

Struck Boyz - Out

Tone - Out

Dave S seemed pretty unique in his audition so we'll have to see what he does next. Same with Aquanuts. There was a group similar to them on Britain's Got Talent last year and they made it to the finals. So it depends on what they'll do.

I think Marty and Forte are already definite ins though.

What about your thoughts?

JayDK103 (talk) 03:07, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Screwed-up formatting
Hey. I just edited the Connor Doran page, and something... weird happened to the formatting afterwards. All of the text got pushed to the right of the videos, which are lined up in a row on the left side of the page. Do you know how to fix this?Aura Master Fox (talk) 04:29, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Danger acts like Brad don't do well on the show.

To be honest, I think most of the people that vote on AGT might be female, and in my opinion danger acts may generally be more directed at a male audience. Bringing up Collins again, I think his looks might have played a part in him being so successful so far, which could also bring that point along. But, I don't know.

By the way, would there be any point in using the NBC America's Got Talent photos (http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/contestants/) on the Wiki?

JayDK103 (talk) 08:17, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but the video listed Struck Boyz third, didn't it? When in reality now we see it as being Alex. JayDK103 (talk) 01:27, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, you're right. Sorry, my mistake. JayDK103 (talk) 01:31, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

So after tonight, which four do you think are moving on?

I actually didn't pay full attention to the episode. I was multitasking so I can't give my concrete opinions yet. But I did catch some of what happened, such as Marty Brown letting the judges down. So I don't think he be moving on tomorrow.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:01, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I think Angela might be moving on. I watched her performance and I pegged her as one of the top even before tonight.

Aren't Aquanuts also somewhere in the top?

And could Tone really move on? I think he'll just keep performing the same track, so the others should get a shot over him in my opinion.

JayDK103 (talk) 03:49, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

So this week's results have been revealed, and Marty was in the top 3, which personally, I think is one of the worst results ever. Even the judges agreed that the two he was up against (Alex and Ciana) did much better last night. So that was really, really disappointing.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:16, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Ciana was robbed. She could actually sing well, unlike Marty last night. Just terrible result all around.

At least Forte and Angela made it.

To be completely honest, after tonight I may have lost interest in the rest of the season.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:29, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Do you think it's possible that Marty (or Jimmy) could win the entire thing?

Other similar reality shows have shown how much support country singers get, and last week proved that they don't even have to have a good performance to move on...

As good as next week looks, I don't have high hopes for most of them in the long run.

JayDK103 (talk) 02:48, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
