Hi Xoruz ↗, I saw that you added the unaired tasks to the wikipedia page of TARAUS2.
If you don't mind, can you also add them to TAR Wikia please:

TARC CANADA
Hi Xoruz ↗, first thank you so much for all the work you are doing for TARC. As a fan, I would love to keep the links that you just removed in the result table as way quick access way to profile whiteout having to read through the other paragraphs. Its very confusing to have to scroll throught other text to find more info about contestants. I think the links in the table are welcomed and give fans a easier access to the contestant's profiles. A link on the result table was also done for Elias Theodorou ↗ on season 3 of TARC. Can we please agree to leave it there. Lethweimaster ↗

TAR 8 and Latin 4 Final Memory Challenge
Hi Xoruz,
I noticed that you did added a memory challenge solution to the final leg on third ''TAR Australian'' season ↗, and also a long-time TAR fan (I am too, for the record); for the sake for viewers who did not see the series and want to know the answers, just like the one did in ''TAR14'' or ''TAR China Rush 2'' etc, can you do a solution/answer for the final memory challenge for ''The Amazing Race 8 ↗'' (Final Amazing Challenge) and ''The Amazing Race 4 (Latin America) ↗'' (Final Leg), and if possible, any answers to questionaire tasks as seen in The Amazing Race Australia 2 ↗ or Asia 4 ↗, or the memory code task in TAR25 ↗? Thank you so much if you appreciate helping us one another!
BTW, I also did minor editing on grammar and format and anonymous users (like me) did all the help for them. I will help you as well. (203.78.15.150 ↗ (talk) 06:29, 25 August 2019 (UTC))

::Hi Xoruz, I noticed on the edits, it was pretty good to say at least; and I also saw you added the icon for a face-off/duel/head-to-head and One Way icons on the respective pages. Well done for the clean-up! I can sugggest improve the article clarity further (including adding missing airdates on the ''HaMerotz LaMillion 2 ↗'' and ''The Amazing Race: China Rush 1 ↗'').

::P.S.: If time permits, may I also use colour coding for the Countries and Places visited for other versions to indicate which countries the race visited before the original American version (i.e. pink if the country made their franchise-first visit, Yellow if a previous country visited during other versions but had yet to visit in the American version, and Green for country visited in the American version. Examples such as Nepal (pink), Cuba (pink in the Australian version, Yellow for the Canadian version), Indonesia (Green for all versions)). For the record, the race and the whole franchise had visited over 100 countries, believe it or not! (203.78.15.150 ↗ (talk) 05:45, 4 September 2019 (UTC))

"Future appearance" proposal for TAR articles
Hi there, {{Ping|Xoruz}},
I recently saw those from ''Survivor (American TV series) ↗''-related articles and now I was writing concerns on wanting to improve those articles such as ''Survivor'' and ''Big Brother ↗'', with an inclusion of the subhead section "Future Appearance" in all TAR articles which feature teams that would return in a future season, or any other relevant appearances. I think that the "Production" and "Casting" needs to be reorganized as a section so that it will flow the context more smoothly. I just gave some ideas just a heads up. TVSGuy (talk) 06:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
:{{U|TVSGuy}} So a change like this ↗. Xoruz (talk) 11:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Xoruz}} Not bad. I think placements may also included if needed, otherwise if not, then maybe cleanup for ''Survivor'' or ''BB'' will be fine if time permits, but otherwise pretty fine. TVSGuy (talk) 05:39, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
A little help please
Hey, {{ping|Xoruz}} I have a favor to help with the page on ''The Bachelor'' (American season 24) ↗ as my edits on the finale part 2 episode (aired March 10, 2020) have been reverted twice due to poor English issues as English is my second language. That needs a major help:
{{collapse top|title=''The Bachelor'' (American season 24) finale, aired March 10, 2020}}
The episode concluded when Madison had already departing Australia and left Peter's heart, Peter got nervous on what he is doing next and thinking that Hannah Ann is the one planning to get engaged to her. Chris Harrison came to Peter's place knowing Peter became frustrated and totally shocked, then Peter had his opinion to propose Hannah Ann. When Hannah Ann arrives at the final rose ceremony, Peter proposes to her and giving the final impression rose.
A couple of months later, Peter meets with his family in Los Angeles and telling the news of his engagement with Hannah Ann, then Peter calls Hannah Ann to his family on this exciting moment. Several weeks later, Peter arrived at the safe house and has to talk to Hannah Ann, as Hannah Ann felt sobbed, depressed and lost her emotion, Peter follows her and declared the engagement is about to end. Then, Peter and Hannah Ann are seen for the first time since the breakup and Hannah Ann gives Peter an apology to accept the plea.
Chris comes to Auburn, Alabama to see Madison and he asked the news on Peter's breakup with Hannah Ann and he tells Madison that she is barely in love with Peter, and Madison prepares to travel to Los Angeles. Peter and Madison are seen for the first time since Madison's sudden elimination back in Australia and they have asked a second chance to pursue a relationship. Peter's mother Barbara is on stage and telling the facts over Madison's feelings when Peter's family first met her during the first date. Knowing that Barbara has really done nothing in common with Madison that specifically letting Peter on his relationship with Madison would become better.

The Amazing Race
Thank you for all of your efforts to keep these articles so well constructed! Bgsu98 (talk) 13:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
:@Xoruz, please take a look at some of the modifications I've made to ''The Amazing Race 1 ↗''. We need to remember that this is a TV show. I saw where you added relevant details to each leg regarding who won a challenge, or who did a particular challenge. I think that's good! Look at the individual ''Survivor'' ↗ articles. The episode summaries include not only the details of the challenges, but also the interpersonal dynamics between the teams. This is where notations like "X overslept and left the pit stop late" and "Team Y was eliminated with the Express Pass in their possession" belong. Let me know what you think. Bgsu98 (talk) 18:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
::{{u|Bgsu98}} I don't see that as necessary as task-based shows like DWTS, Project Runway, and Top Chef only include task info and no interpersonal dynamics. That makes sense for social games like Survivor and BB. If that stuff has to be included, it could probably go under additional notes. Xoruz (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
:::''The Amazing Race'' has always been more like ''Survivor'' and ''Big Brother'' than those other shows. Bgsu98 (talk) 19:04, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I have just finished updating season 13. I haven't seen this season since it aired originally, and there are some holes in the chronology of events.

I can go pull up the episode and check later, but if you know whether some of the trains on Leg 8 (Botswana → Switzerland) ↗ are actually funiculars (which I seem to think they are), and can change them without having to re-watch the actual episode, that would be great.

There was an unaired task in The Amazing Race 3#Leg 3 (Mexico → England → Scotland) ↗ that took place after the teams arrived in London, but before they left for Cambridge. I haven't been able to find a source on it. It's been several years since the season aired, so I don't remember what the task was, but I seem to remember it was pretty dopey and didn't affect the teams' order.

Yet, the source states the following: "In this Route Marker, Country singers Caroline (left) and Jennifer (right) must make their way '''<u>to</u>''' Plaza de America in a horse drawn carriage."

The Amazing Race Canada 2 ↗
Thank you for your help in improving this article today! I'm sorry that sometimes our edits overlapped; I think I inadvertently overwrote one of your edits, but I believe I reinstated it. I do have a question, though: the note for leg 2 states: ''"Jen & Shawn chose to withdraw from the race after Shawn dislocated his shoulder during the surfing task. Jon visited them at the Tofino General Hospital in Tofino ↗ to inform them of their elimination."'' Did they withdraw (ie. quit), or were they simply eliminated because all of the other teams checked in while they were being tended to at the hospital? Because that note gives a conflicting statement. Was it like Becca & Floyd, who stopped racing to be tended to by medical, and also happened to be eliminated, or was it like Dave & Connor, who made a conscious decision to withdraw from the race? <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 02:47, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
:Jon and Jen said that they chose to withdraw from the race. Rex & Bob were still waiting out their penalty, so all of the teams hadn't checked in. Xoruz (talk) 10:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Leg 7 (Ontario) ↗ apparently aired over two episodes. Was this a double leg or mega leg or something special, or just an ordinary leg split over two episodes? I see there is no notation on the placement chart as to the teams' placement at the midpoint of the leg. <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 02:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
:Never mind, I think that was bad information. Someone had two dates listed for leg 7, but the same date was given for leg 6.

:Double leg with teams told to keep racing. Unlike other instances, Jon did a voice-over for the first clue of the Kingston leg, and all but one team were shown getting on a train. Xoruz (talk) 02:14, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Zip line ↗
Which form should we use for this? The main article is zip line ↗ (two words), and we've used both '''zipline''' (one word) and '''zip-line''' (with hyphen). I'm fine with any of those; I just want them to be consistent among seasons. <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 00:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello {{ping|Xoruz}}, could you rework all the pages of TAR pages ranging from Israel, Asia, and all other versions at your own time, and reformat for the template to match those of the current format like the original one, Canada and Australia version?

Hello Xoruz!
- The New Pages Patrol ↗ is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting ↗.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial ↗ before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page ↗ with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider '''applying here''' ↗.

The Amazing Race Canada 10 ↗
I see where there is something called an Assist that was used in the first episode, but there is no mention of it in the episode summary. If it's noted on the table, it should probably be mentioned in the episode summary. <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 18:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

The Amazing Race 37 ↗
Hello... My complaint about WP:CRYSTALBALL ↗ had nothing to do with having two columns, which is entirely appropriate, but about graying out teams before the episode aired. Once the episode airs, I agree that the teams who do not pursue one fork versus the other should be grayed out. I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself. <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 16:57, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::You two need to provide actual evidence that the new season is actually going to be called "Season of Surprises." The very end of the first promo said "new season of The Amazing Race." It didn't say "The Amazing Race: Season of Surprises" in the logo. This is not the official title of this season.

Curious as to why you edited the chart/columns for Episode 5 despite the episode having not yet aired in the US.
The Amazing Race 1 ↗
I have once again nominated this article for Good Article status. I made some edits this morning prior to submission that I anticipated they would insist on, such as removing the double-linking in each episode summary. Until we hear back something on the GA review, I won't worry about making similar edits to the other seasons. Also, from speaking to someone a while back, I don't believe a footnote notation is required for the FF icon, since the FF icon is provided in the key above the results table. <span style="color:darkorange;">'''Bgsu98'''</span> <span style="color:darkorange;">(Talk)</span> 15:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

TARCAN11
Hello,
I recently edited the article The Amazing Race Canada 11 ↗. I inputed the 'future leg' details for leg 8, which took place in Mississauga. I normally wouldn't add something in advance, but I followed teams around for the entire day, and even agreed to being on the show because I was helping multiple teams. As I'm curious, is there a specific reason it was taken down?
Thank you Booklet10 (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
