Talk:People's Choice Awards

Two entries

Why are there two entries for this topic (i.e., see See People's Choice Award)? –Matt 06:23, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Good catch; I have turned the other one into a redirect. Indrian 06:26, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Online voting Might permit ballot stuffing

Isn't it true that, sometimes, with online voting, it's possible to vote, hit the backspace key and vote again and again, which allows ballot stuffing to take place? In January 9 2005, the nominated "2004 Release Favorite Films" were: "Shrek 2", (the biggest money-making film of the year which did quite well with the critics); "Spider-Man 2", (a hugh money maker and critical success), "The Incredibles", (a very big money maker and critical success); and "Fahrenheit 911", (made money and some critics liked it). "Fahrenheit 911" won the award, and the possibility of ballot stuffing was raised. A great many online voting sites, will permit a person to vote once and only once, while there are others that will allow one person to vote over and over again for as many times as they want to.204.80.61.10 18:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

It is true that online voting can be faked. There is no easy way to prevent someone from voting more than once. Almost every technology on the internet that could be used: IP address, MAC address, Cookies, etc, can be faked (sometimes quite easily), and many can easily represent more than one user. The most anyone can do, short of requiring government ID or Credit Card numbers, is just make it very, very difficult.69.95.232.214 (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Not "People's Choice"

How can it be the "people's choice" if we're only given three choices? 67.188.172.165 01:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I fully agree. There needs to be a list that is online or something with every single film in existence that people can choose from. Who knows something filmed long before the 70s or in black and white film would keep winning year after year if such options were made? Alot of this are intended as NLPs attacking specific targets. Some of the actors and actresses are mere hacks that are not original or even strong individuals or just plain superficial. - Jan 2014 from AgreeToDisagree (http://malaysiandemocracy.wordpress.com/)

Articles for each year's awards

Shall we make articles for each year's awards? Like 2008 People's Choice Awards ? --Pixelface (talk) 03:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I have created the articles for the 33rd, 34th, and 35th (35th being the current one, airing on TV right now). I think others should be made to. Take a look at 33rd People's Choice Awards for the template I used. TJ Spyke 03:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Which "people"?

Is this a United States award? Or North America? Or worldwide? The article needs to clarify this, as Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia. PamD (talk) 07:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Bullet point indentation

Currently there are two different styles used regarding the bullet points: Indenting all non-winners (e.g. 42nd) or no indentation (e.g. 43rd). The winner is always in bold. Having the winner listed first varies.

First I thought the indentation was an outlier because it looked a bit odd to me and the newest list (43rd) didn't have it, but looking through the list articles the results are rather mixed: The articles up to 30th mostly name the winner, so there is almost nothing to compare to. 31st to 35th use indentation, 36th to 39th do not (and also do not put the winner first, just in bold), 40th to 42nd have indentation again, and 43rd has no indentation (but has the winner first).

I'd like to use the 43rd format, meaning no indentation, but winner first and bold. The change isn't huge, but it affects a few articles, so I wanted to ask for feedback/consensus before editing. --aRTy (talk) 23:11, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Since there was no fierce objection and I later remembered WP:BB, I now just went ahead with the changes. --aRTy (talk) 08:39, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
