Is is Just me or does anybody else feel it weird that only Sanjaya has his race listed next to his name. Also it serves no purpose as far a i can tell 69.122.66.33 03:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC) BB 69.122.66.33 03:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure why there's a references and sources tag on this article. References are cited throughout the article. I'd like to remove the tag unless there's discussion and disagreement here. I just don't see how the tag is relevant to the article as it now stands. Thanks! Moncrief 14:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
That being said, on a further look, the eight cited references are not showing up at the bottom of the page, and the "History of VFTW picks" is shocking unencyclopedic and POV and should probably be deleted until the POV adjectives can be taken out. The whole section is POV because what was the "best VFTW" performance/moment of a season is totally unverifiable and POV. A Wikipedia embarrassment! Moncrief 14:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
This page has a few problems. I had heard about this website on the radio and came to this article to learn about it. Right now, it is really in bad shape. I agree that the "Best VTFW" cannot verified and is a matter of opinion. Remove it if you so desire. Perhaps one of the people who created the article should work on the cleanup. As it is now, it's not even close to Wikipedia Standards. --Cyrus Andiron t/c 15:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
This article should be deleted until we can find some more verfiable facts other than the website i'm pretty sure these people don't even accumlate over 1,000 votes. So this should be changed to a smaller article rather than just an advertisment written by the people at this website. --Casey S (talk) 00:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree the page needs work! Deleted the remarks on Dave Della Terza sexual orientation for that is not relevant to the article. That would go on a Dave Della Terza article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.114.232.78 (talk) 01:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
I don't see it. In what way is this written like an ad? --Stacecom 15:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
As of 12:30 The Site cannot be viewed, at the moment reasons are unknown, if you are aware of the reason please post it in the TALK page and not the main article —BYMAstudent (talk • contribs) 16:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
There needs to be uniformity in the citations used... there is a mixture of external links and links to internal footnotes.
Would this, http://howardstern.com/archive.hs?h=1028, be a good cite for Howard Stern talking about it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.252.45.197 (talk) 14:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
Would this be a good line: The contestants the website supports are technically not any better or worst than the others, but are usually the ones who they believe are the least likely to win the majority support of the mainstream public.
? It seems POV. Elle Bee 18:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I've removed "Practical Joke". This isn't a practical joke by any real definition of the term and the category isn't relevant here.--Isotope23 13:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
It's satire, but not very good satire. Their choices are more based on a general perception of oddity than a lack of talent. If they are trying to make a political statement, then they are hypocrites. The Legend of Miyamoto 17:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Weeks ago when I accessed this page, there was a table describing the history of the various VFTW picks, including the season of each contestant, how long the contestant stayed in the competition, and how long VFTW had been supporting him/her. I found it very helpful. It turns out it was deleted and replaced simply with a list, which is not nearly as helpful. Is there any particular reason why?--Benfergy 23:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, folks. I should have known better. YechielMan 20:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm a little confused by the inclusion of the tag that Sanjaya is VFTW's "longest-running pick". I saw the link to their site, and I agree that it definitely states that, but by my count, based on the data in this article, Sanjaya and Constantine were both VFTW candidates for the same amount of time. Are we missing someone from the Season 4 list then? If not, is it possible that VFTW meant that he was now tied for longest running pick? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Thought I'd add it in because Professor Chan returned my e-mail on his most recent episode reviews. It really isn't a bad show, it's just tooled so incredibly wrong and wow, are the ratings low... Badgergrl04
Way to take it down, guys. I was bemused that whoever created that site wanted to try to cash in off the original's popularity, and then tried using Wiki to promote it! If a lawsuit gets filed, it would be a cool add-on to the site, maybe a "ripoffs" section or something. Badgergrl04 19:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned that Chris Sligh was an honorary VFTW pick? (or something to that effect) Darrik2 02:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Vftwlogo2.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

"The website is also widely credited for the victory of season 5's Taylor Hicks.[5]"
Can you really state that certain contestants lasted longer than they should've (or won the competition) without raw voting data? Using votefortheworst.com as a source/citation for these claims also seems like a bad idea.201.172.230.226 (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
