Previous Seasons
Yes, I do intend to add previous seasons. I'm almost finished with Season 5 information, and I plan to add Season 1 info next. Even without YouTube videos, I'll try to find a way to watch the videos online if I can (legally) find them. The articles will not include as many videos, unfortunately.

Audition All Stars
So, what I'm doing very soon is making an "Audition All Stars" category, which will be a subcategory of Guest Performers. I want to keep them separated because Guest Performers will also include acts like Recycled Percussion and Quick-Change (who performed in Season 5). I like the All Stars as a separate category because they've become a unique tradition on AGT. Erik10101 02:14, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Admin Rights?
Hi! I have noticed that you have contributed A LOT of useful info, something I have had very little time for recently. How would you like to become an AGT Wiki admin? You will gain the rights to ban users and edit pages like the Wiki Navigation.

Erik10101 (talk) 15:29, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

You are now an admin. :)

Erik10101 (talk) 03:43, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

What you're doing right now, creating the pages for the acts, is basically what needs to be done for Seasons 1-4. Also, if possible, it would be great if you could add "Backgrounds" to some of the Season 5-7 act pages.

Erik10101 (talk) 03:52, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

I'll take care of that for now.

Re: Re: People who got eliminated on the Season 7 Quarterfinals
Sorry, but I don't see any use for it. I think it should be deleted. 68.45.225.205 18:26, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

I have an account
Hey there. It's 68.45.225.205. I want you to know that I created an account, so if you need to talk to me, post on this account's talk page. --TyberZannxxxx (talk) 19:22, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

We have a Season 7 picture for Walt Winston, sent to us by America's Got Talent! can we, or someone else who has knowledge post it for his wiki page. The pic is of he and his wife and has not been published as it's only been seen at his home in their hallway as a collage of  beautiful pictures of the lovely couple for their wedding. I'm just a family member who is a big fan of the show and of the Winstons. Can you please post his video of his Season 7 audition though it didn't air? Or at least a link to his song which I've seen on youtube. Also we have some wedding pictures if we can post them here for his fans and the fans of AGT to see! I'm sure Walt wouldn't mind if you ask him.

68.45.225.205 known as Tyber seems to think he can violate the DMCA by wanting to delete the Walt Winston page claiming that none of the legitimate information is relevant to AGT when in fact it is. We took the liberty to add a source for our information on the title and publishing with a link to BMI which is a legitimate source for our edits which in turn makes our edits relevant to AGT for both Seasons 6 & 7. Every producer knows Mr. Winston by name and will easily recall his appearances in both Minneapolis and in St. Louis. 68.45.225.205  needs to be kindly reminded that the information is legitimate and if need be we can send you the emails from the program to Mr. Winston indicating that yes he did make the cut and performed in front of the judges. We have the song list requested by the producers for the judges round as well as the BMI paperwork for the selection(s) that he performed on the programs as well as the royalty statement from BMI for his Season 6 performance. Any info you need from us please send us an email or send an email to Mr. Winston direct.

New Pages
Hey Jay,

I noticed that you are creating a lot of new pages. Although there's nothing wrong with that, I don't know if that's the best decision because those pages are very bare. It can be annoying when you click in an auditions page an act and it offers very little information.

Would you mind adding content to already existing pages (especially shortpages ( http://agt.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ShortPages )) instead? That would be great if you have the time.

 * Most of those images were replaced because their shapes were different than the other ones from their season. Basically, I wanted to standardize the size ratios as much as I could, which is why I replaced a few of them. I can tell you cut some of the images which is appreciated, but posting screencaps is what I think is better. It's not too big of a deal though.

Images
Hey,

Your creating all these Season 3 articles is extremely appreciated! Thank you! Would you mind not "editing" (cutting) the images like you did with Paul West & Tucker? The images for the acts are usually screencaps. Cutting the images makes the site less uniform. You don't need to take the extra time to cut them. :)

Erik10101 (talk) 01:42, July 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't watch it in full screen. I usualy just "Print Screen" the full video image and cut out anything that is not the video. It's probably what you do, only I keep the entire video.


 * Thanks! They seem better so far, but the bottom of the George the Giant Pic seems cut off. It isn't too big of a deal though, because it's the same size as the other Season 4 pics (i.e a rectangle and not a square).

For drag acts, I would refer to them by what they're born as (for Dorae, male) rather than what they seem to associate with. That's why I changed Gender to Sex for all the acts. Although Dorae may consider his gender Female, his sex is Male.

New Singer Categories?
I've been considering creating new categories for "Male Singers," "Female Singers," and "Vocal Duos," because the Singer category for every Season is always very big. What do you think?

This would be the new Singer Organization:

Male Singers - Solo Male Singers

Female Singers - Solo Female Singers

Vocal Duos - Duos (Male or Female)

Singing Groups (Groups of 3 or more)

Do you like that idea, or do you think it is fine the way it is? If we do make that change, the categories will have to be added to A LOT of acts.

Erik10101 (talk) 05:36, July 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * No need to split up Duos by gender. Kid Acts would be  an interesting category, but I don't know if it would be the best idea because some acts like Miami All Stars have kids in them, but are mostly adult acts. There's the question of whether they count as kid acts or not. Same with acts like Christina and Ali (one is over 18, the other is not). And then there's a large group of acts whose age is never revealed. Guessing based on appearance is too random, I think, to make a category based on age.


 * Erik10101 (talk) 06:51, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, if we start adding the categories, we should also take away the "Singers" category altogether. It's too broad. So act by act, we should add the new categories and take out the Singers and Season X Singers ones.
 * Erik10101 (talk) 07:13, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * If there is a way, I don't know it, unfortunately.
 * Erik10101 (talk) 07:18, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Most likely male. He/she was presented with the other Drag Acts in the Auditions All Stars, so that seems likely that he's male as well.
 * By the way, I'm going to head to bed soon as soon as I finish the pages for the Accepted Acts from last night's episode. Don't worry about getting all the Singers re-categorized. There's plenty of time for that. :)
 * Erik10101 (talk) 07:23, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Even though Eric doesn't sing, I would count duos with instrumentalists (who don't sing) into Vocal Duos because Season 7 sorted Eric & Olivia with Jorge and Alexa. The Millers is a vocal duo, and the harmonica player did sing for their first audition. I would say from now on, a "Band" on the Wiki must have three or more member. Not sure if Aaralyn & Izzy should be considered a Band or Vocal Duo, but that can be your call.
 * Erik10101 (talk) 07:52, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Singer and Instrumentalist Duo
That's a perfect idea, just having both Female Singer and Instrumentalist.

I'll give him a day or two to answer, then I'll reverse all of the proof-less edits. There may be some truth to what he/she posted, but I highly doubt it.

For example, they put that Brad Byers withdrew.

https://www.facebook.com/brad.byers.10

But he actually advertised the episode this week, so there's no way he withdrew.

Re:Unnamed Acts
Creating such a page would be very beneficial, but it sounds like a lot of trouble taking snapshots and figuring out which episodes have them. If we can make one, that would be great, but I think there are more important things to work on such as finishing Season 3 and creating articles for Season 4. Thankfully, though, Season 8 only has two unnamed acts so far.

By the way, what do you think about the new episode threads (for example, Episode 804). Somebody thought they would be a great addition, and I think they're an organized way to view an episode in more detail rather than just the list of names in the Season 8 Auditions page.

Erik10101 (talk) 01:37, July 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was considering including buzzers, but I decided not to since buzzers tend to correlate with "No" votes and it could get confusing if there were multiple X's, or a buzzer but still a "Yes" (like with Howard and Aaralyn and Izzy). I'll include buzzers in the live show episodes though because there is no official vote.


 * Sure, you can make a page. We can add a notice saying "If you know the name of any of these acts, please contact..."


 * Those were actually my additions. Looking back on them now, I completely agree they were pointless. :)


 * Erik10101 (talk) 01:49, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Recognized Act
I saw your Season 2 Unnamed acts page. Great job on it! I think the unnamed magician is actually Mr. Mystic PTP from Season 6. (http://mrmystic.com/ ) Do you see the resemblance? He even has the same vortex medallion.
