Highs and Lows

Does it even make sense to have "High" and "Low" on the chart during the second half of the show? I mean after a certain episode they don't distinguish between the safe and the best/worst. After a while it's just winner and bottom 2. For example, in week 11 why is Bianca Del Rio "safe" and not "high" and why is Courtney Act "low" and not "safe"?

I think the highs and lows should end whenever the "safe" ones stop being separated (episode 7 for this season). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potsiiscool (talkcontribs) 23:41, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Please lock this page.

I know it's ironic for an anonymous user to ask for a wiki page to be locked against anonymous edits, but yeah. Anons are playing fast and loose with this page. 24.206.46.226 (talk) 19:52, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I completely understand the frustration. I've edited the Drag Race for three seasons now, and it's the same every time. Last season it was pretty bad, and I put a request to semi-protect it, but they refused at the time because they were saying it wasn't that bad. At the time, I considered it pretty bad, but they didn't. This season, I don't think it's actually that bad, it's under control. I would be really surprised if someone was to put a semi-protection. Who knows... you can always request it... ─ Fabzzz talk 03:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for staying on top of it and I'm sorry that the mods were reluctant to protect the page and save you unnecessary revisions. I appreciate your efforts in keeping this wiki up to date and accurate.24.206.46.226 (talk) 17:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Spoilers to remove

Can we please not spoil the show ? (Like announcing the top 7) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.118.223.249 (talk) 03:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

This is usually the act of vandals. I try my best to revert the ones who make those edits. It's most likely not a spoiler however. You can also revert the edits by doing Undo in View History. Let's try to keep this page clean as much as possible : ) ─ Fabzzz talk 07:47, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Sort order

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we usually do an alpha sort for all queens still in the competition? So at this point Kelly should be on the bottom of the table and everyone else should be alpha. Otherwise it'll get too complicated to determine sort order as the episodes and results continue. I'd edit myself, but with my computer broken, I'm not willing to do that level of table editing on a mini-tablet. --Siradia (talk) 04:43, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I agree that this is the way that it has been done in the past.Naraht (talk) 21:20, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I also agree, so I have made changes. ─ Fabzzz talk 20:10, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! I'm sure it will be changed again, but it's a good target. --Siradia (talk) 05:09, 1 March 2014 (UTC) (looking forward to getting computer back tomorrow with a functional screen!)

More spoilers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.75.117.227 (talk) 20:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


Question: Does the order presented spoil the show? In previous Season pages, the order of the contestants seems to predict their order of elimination and therefore who wins overall. Is this a coincidence or intentional? Does the person creating the table have inside knowledge to the out come of the show? Or perhaps they are just good at predicting the order of elimination.

In order to avoid spoilers in the future can the table be sorted alphabetically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Testrogue (talkcontribs) 15:17, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I understand your concerns. The table is currently sorted in alphabetical order and it's always been like that. Of course, the queens eliminated are in order of elimination. Please specify if you meant something else. ─ Fabzzz talk 16:57, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
The reason the list of contestants on past seasons are in elimination order is that they're re-sorted after each elimination. At the start of the season, they're all alphabetical. When someone is eliminated, they're moved to the end section in order of their elimination. By the end of the season, they are entirely in elimination order. The current season is alphabetical for contestants still on the show and then in reverse order of elimination. If by chance your concern is that someone who hasn't watched a previous season will be spoiled by the table, then you might want to read WP:SPOILER to learn why we don't avoid things like that. The current season doesn't include any insider knowledge beyond what has been released. --Siradia (talk) 05:39, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


-- My mistake. I went back in the history and looked at the first table and you are correct. Although for a number of episodes is seemed to be elminating from the bottom. Thanks for the reply. Feel free to clear the Question post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.0.134.203 (talk) 02:15, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Ben De La Creme vandalism

Someone changed Ben De La Creme's name in the contestant graph to "Michelle Visage" as a joke because of there comparison on the show, I would change it back myself but I don't know his birth name. --LurganShmith (talk) 01:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

You can change it to Ben, because that's all the information we have so far. But I did the edits... I know, vandals are super annoying.─ Fabzzz talk 03:48, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh, alright. Well, thank you for getting that. ...I still don't understand why Ben and Vi haven't at any oppertunity said there real name or even had there real name surface. I did a search trying to find either of them, but never could find anything. --LurganShmith (talk) 17:46, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

The Gray spaces

For the queens, for the part of the premiere they didn't compete in they have a gray block and I just don't like the look given as the gray has always been used for when a queen isn't present on the show any longer/has been eliminated. I know they weren't present for both openings, but they had to be eliminated and I think something like 'IN' or 'DNC' short for 'Did Not Compete' would be and look better than just the blank gray that sort of blends and blurs some of the spaces together. 71.104.231.7 (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I feel like the grey boxes are okay. I don't think they should be changed to something else. Something else would look too charged on that board. ─ Fabzzz talk 03:56, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I agree it looks a little weird, but I'm hoping it will look better once we get some weeks with all the contestants in there. I'm taking a wait and see approach, personally. If anything, maybe a light grey instead of dark grey? But I'd rather wait a week or two first to see how it looks. I think new words would make it look more confusing. --Siradia (talk) 05:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I'd definitely support a lighter grey, just anything to make it different/not have it look like cells are blending/merging together.71.104.231.7 (talk) 23:45, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I've been trying to play around with it, and this is the best I could come up with... It looks a bit weird now, but I think after a few weeks it will look better. We would add a footnote to the table explaining what DNP (Did not participate) means. Any suggestions are welcomed *edited, see below*. ─ Fabzzz talk 05:58, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

I think it is an improvement on what we have now. Having said that, it is *entirely* possible,that I'll like something else better. :) Naraht (talk) 20:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I know something else would be better, but that's all I can think of :P Any other suggestion is more than welcomed. I just don't know what else to do with this. ─ Fabzzz talk 05:08, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
That looks good to me! I think it'd still look fine/good/better with or without the DNP, just so long as that lighter color is kept 71.104.231.7 (talk) 00:40, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Support I agree with 71.104.231.7, but I think DNC (Did Not Compete) might work better.--LurganShmith (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Support I slightly prefer DNC to DNP, but largely shrug. I *definitely feel it should be lighter than the eliminated darkgray.Naraht (talk) 17:03, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Just updated with week 3's results... just so you guys can decide if you like it or what could be changed... also changed the DNP to DNC. ─ Fabzzz talk 21:31, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Maybe I know I'm the one that came up with "DNC", but honestly now that I see it with this past week's results added in it looks a bit busy. If you guys like DNC it would look fine, and I could support it, but I thought this might look a bit cleaner:

  The contestant won RuPaul's Drag Race.
  The contestant was the runner-up.
  The contestant won a challenge.
  The contestant was one of the best but did not win the challenge.
  The contestant was one of the worst but was not in the bottom two.
  The contestant was in the bottom two.
  The contestant was eliminated.
  The contestant did not compete in this episode.
I know we're already using silver for the runner-ups', but I thought the difference in shades of gray was obvious enough that this would work. Regardless, I think we should wait another week or two to see how both our proposed options for the future of the graph appear when more full. ...thoughts? --LurganShmith (talk) 14:16, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
PS, Just for the record, I'm hardly an expert with HTML, so there is always the possibility I made a minor error with it in the graph that can't be seen in the end result. --LurganShmith (talk) 14:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Since no one seems to care too much for the DNC, I'm just gonna apply the modifications with the lighter shade of grey. If anything looks funny or someone disagrees, reply here : ) ─ Fabzzz talk 04:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Alright, sounds good.
But, I noticed you added the <  The contestant did not participate in this episode.> right in the middle of the boxes that explain how well the contestant did in the episode, all of which are arranged in a gradient from best to worst, which brakes up that gradient... So it makes more sense to place it at the bottom of the list... I just wanted to tell you before I moved it, and why, since I know you're the one that put it up, and I hate it when someone edits something I added without explanation.--LurganShmith (talk) 13:57, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Example from other article

Under the Gunn has the exact same situation that we do. I think their boxes are a little darker than the ones that we've proposed.Naraht (talk) 18:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Their grey is even darker than the one used for eliminated contestants it seems. I'm not sure what I like better but I think the lighter grey we currently have is better. ─ Fabzzz talk 18:47, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
Agree with Fabzzz I like the lighter shade. The darker shade of grey works for Under the Gunn because the rest of their colors are very vibrant and pop out and it's just a different look from ours all togeather.--LurganShmith (talk) 22:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Age and name

Hello,

I would like to open a talk about whether or not we should add a "(ages stated are at time of contest)" notice before the contestants table. We can see that sometimes in a Reality-tv show, it tells (ages stated are at time of contest) because it's true, it shows the age at the time of filming.

Not only I'm wondering if we should add that for the age, but also add something for the name of the contestants. I'm saying this because we have a few contestants that have actually transitionned and are now women (Carmen Carrera, Sonique, etc). Perhaps we should add a notice for the name too?

I don't know what to do about this and this is why I'm putting this here! Please leave your opinion so I have an idea of what you want! Thanks! ─ Fabzzz talk 02:12, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if noting contestants who have transitioned matters besides what is already noted on the main RuPaul's Drag Race page. It seems like too much to do since we usually only have one trans contestant per season and it doesn't affect how they do in the show. Isn't "age at time of filming" a given that doesn't need to be noted? (I have no idea what other reality show pages do). Burnberrytree (talk) 00:27, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Well I know America's Next Top Model does... It was brought to my attention only because someone changed the real life name of Carmen Carrera to Carmen Carrera on season 3's page and i realized no where it says that either age or name were at the time of filming. But I understand that a notice might be a bit too much. I didn't know what to do about it, so that's why I was asking for opinions : ) ─ Fabzzz talk 01:26, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Now, I'd say yes on both, especially if it stop the debate/edits of that page with Carmen's name. Go with it. Burnberrytree (talk) 00:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
It only seemed to be a one time edit that the person did for Carmen, but still I thought it made sense, and I put it on all seasons. I wrote in the edit summary to come here if they wanted to talk about it, so people can always come here if they disagree. ─ Fabzzz talk 05:21, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I like the concept, but I don't believe that "time of contest" is clear. I think it should *either* be "time of filming" or "time of showing"(or better term than showing for when Episode 1 of the season goes on the air).Naraht (talk) 15:38, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I think so too... I just copy-pasted what I saw on the ANTM page : ) I think time of filming would be a good alternative. ─ Fabzzz talk 22:09, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Is time of filming known? I mean we know that the first episode was release on day such and such, but do we know when filming started for the first episode or filming for the cycle started (I think for the all-star season, when they did the fact that the queens could get $100,000 the queen in that clip was whoever lost the previous episode, so they may have filmed all of those first!)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Naraht (talkcontribs) 12:15, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
I don't think the time of filming is known precisely, but I don't think that's important. If we say (ages and names stated are at time of filming) I think people will understand. ─ Fabzzz talk 19:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Kelly Mantle's farewell message

At the end of the first episode while Kelly is still writing the message and during her walk away from the mirror you can clearly see she wrote "Love u girlz! Rock your Pussies! XOXO Kelly Mantle P.S. Eat my Bacon!", before the producers wiped away "Pussies" and replaced it with "Pxxxxxx" for when the girls came back to wipe it away. I just wasn't sure which should be used since technically her message didn't use the x's. I know currently the article uses the x's, which is why I'm asking; I didn't want to just go and put "pussies" on a Wikipedia article without making sure it was okay. --LurganShmith (talk) 05:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I think we should leave the x's. In season 5, Detox's message had Go F****** Kill, which I assume was Go Fucking Kill, or something like that with the F-word. So we should leave it like that. ─ Fabzzz talk 04:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
I remember hers... but still. Thank you. And, for the record, I corrected the number of x's in Kelly's message... so, at least that's correct.--LurganShmith (talk) 13:33, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

The Covergurlz

All the queens participated in the album The Covergurlz. They all did a cover of one of RuPaul's song.

What I was thinking is that should we create a section in this article talking about this? Or should an article on its own be created, and on this page we should just mention it in the season introduction or something?─ Fabzzz talk 04:27, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Unless The Covergurlz charted on a recognized chart (iTunes isn't included1) a new article made in it's name sake would be deleted for lack of notability per Wikipedia guidelines. I was actually thinking about making a "soundtrack" section, myself, or such to include it and mention RuPaul's Born Naked in a greater detail as to how it pertains to the season and their simultaneous releases. --LurganShmith (talk) 13:33, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
As usual, I had time in my hands and decided to do the tracklist for the album. I added the link for each song to the original album or article. I also added the collapsible feature, since this will be in the season 6 page, and I was afraid it would look too busy. The collapsible feature can be removed easily if people think it's unnecessary. You can use it if you do the soundtrack section, which I think is a good idea by the way. The title of the album on Itunes is RuPaul Presents the CoverGurlz. ─ Fabzzz talk 19:31, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

By the way, by any chance do you know how to request that something redirect to a article?... more specificly a section of an article? That's the only thing I don't know how to do to set up a section on this page devoted to RuPaul Presents: The CoverGurlz. I've seen it done, I just don't know how.--LurganShmith (talk) 23:02, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
If you mean how to create a section in the Season 6's page for the soundtrack, you need to click on Edit on the main page. Then, where you want to enter that section, do == name of the section == and enter the content below that.
However, if you mean how to add a link to an article, then more specifically to a section in this article, I did something like that in the track list for the song Lick it Lollipop. Since it's only a single and doesn't appear on any album, I created a link to the Singles section on RuPaul's discography section. You just need to add a # in the link, for example, [RuPaul_discography#Singles|Lick It Lollipop ]--> Lick It Lollipop will redirect you to a section specifically. I don't know it that's what you meant, but now you will know! ─ Fabzzz talk 01:11, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
No, but thank you. I kind of meant the reverse of your second option. Like this--->Fashion (Lady Gaga song) ([ [ Fashion (Lady Gaga song) ] ]) and this--->Wikilink ([ [ Wikilink ] ]), or to a lesser degree this--->Mark Foster (musician) ([ [ Mark Foster (musician) ] ]). It's so when people go to search "RuPaul Presents: The Covergurlz" and/or "The Covergurlz" it will automatically redirect to that section in this article. You have to request to have all search results & wikilinks redirect to a different article or section of an article, different as in different from the words in the search or link. I just don't know how to request that.--LurganShmith (talk) 01:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
I wasn't sure if you forgot, or didn't wanted to do it, so I just added the section on the article. It's very basic at the moment, so any modifications or additions are more than welcomed. ─ Fabzzz talk 05:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, sorry, I got, like, really busy with life and I didn't have time to get on here. I'm about to finish the section now, thank you so much for doing the basics of the section until I could get around to doing it. Really, thank you. --LurganShmith (talk) 09:27, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
I'm done. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it. You're welcome to review my revision for typos, I'm dyslexic so I'm bad about making them. Thanks, I mean, if you do.--LurganShmith (talk) 18:25, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm just posting this hear for myself for when I make the section. I found how to do it and I don't want to forget.--LurganShmith (talk) 02:58, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Spoilers

I understand that Wikipedia doesn't do spoiler warnings anymore, but I think something should be done about spoilers for episodes that have not fully aired yet. Somewhere else in this talk section a person mentioned that those are sometimes spammers. While that may sometimes be true, sometimes they're correct (it seems, in fact, that they often are correct, at least the ones I've noticed). I think this is because Logo releases part of the upcoming episode on their Logo TV app (specifically giving away the winners of mini-challenges). Not everyone has access to the Logo TV app because it's only available on iTunes (I, myself, use Amazon app). Anyway, that's just my 2¢ on the matter. 98.233.161.32 (talk) 02:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Andrew

We basically had the same discussion last year, you can take a look here. Basically, we can't hide something that's available to someone, just because someone else doesn't have access to it. ─ Fabzzz talk 05:27, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Is it ethical to have Ben's last name here when he very purposely tries to retain some privacy on the internet? 76.112.2.28 (talk) 08:04, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. By Ben, do you mean BenDeLaCreme, who has both a website and a twitter account? Cannolis (talk) 09:18, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
I believe you mean putting the last name Putnam as not being ethical? If that's the case, the wikipedia article for every season of Drag Race displays the full name of every contestants on the show. If you do a google search, you will find quickly that Benjamin Putnam is indeed BenDeLaCreme irl name. I'm assuming you mean we should include a source of some sort? ─ Fabzzz talk 16:16, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 April 2014

It states that: "Darienne Lake is the first contestant ever to not be eliminated after being in the bottom two 3 times", which I believe is incorrect, as stated in Wikipedia, "Coco Montrese is the first contestant in Drag Race history to lip sync four times in the same season.", so Coco Montrese is actually the first contestant ever to not be eliminated after being in the bottom two 3 times, she was eliminated after the 4th lip sync.

Contestants Information

Hello all.

If you are going to modify the information about any of the contestants (city, age, name, etc), or as a matter of fact, any information on this page, please provide a reliable source to back up your change. This is just basic wikipedia rules. If you do a modification, provide source, pretty simple.

If you can't provide a source, the modification will just get revert back everytime, and you will waste your time doing it. I am only saying this because currently people are modifying information in the Contestants section, and don't provide sources or links to back up the changes. So, please provide sources, Thanks. ─ Fabzzz talk 18:24, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Ongoing discussion regarding high, safe and low placements.

Hello all. Currently, at the page for the RPDR Wikiproject, we started a discussion about how to properly define these placements, since the lack of clear criteria has led to a lot of subjective edits and in some cases, edit warring. Since these definitions could potentially effect the placement tables through all the seasons, we would like to receive the widest possible input, to make sure that all the views and perspectives are taken in account. So, anyone interested in taking part in the conversation, please give us your view at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_RuPaul%27s_Drag_Race#Establishing_a_consistent_criteria_for_SAFE%2C_HIGH_and_LOW_placements Not A Superhero (talk) 05:33, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
