Clarification
They traded the Rome Coliseum for the great pyramids, so a note should be included that it is not the real new 7 wonders of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.254.152 (talk) 02:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Rewrite
I have rewritten the article as a stub covering the TV show and the book in one go. It can, and should, be expanded but please avoid reintroducing any promotional material taken from the show's publicity or from fansites. Also, remember to use surnames for encyclopaedic tone. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I've seen two episodes on Science Channel in the U.S. already and neither had the "pop ups" that are mentioned in the article. jonnyGURU
I've edited the country lists so that the name of each country is now, like the flags for each country, also a link to the Wikipedia page for that country. My reason for this edit is not everyone may be aware that the flag is also a link. Also, beside the country I have added the Wonder or Bucket List item that Karl is supposed to experience so that each entry appears like this example:
- China - The Great Wall of China (Episode 1)
I also changed the wording of the title and description of that section to reflect the additions. I also changed the wording from Season to Series following the convention used in the UK. I've also left out some Bucket List items for series two. Until we see what exactly Ricky and Stephen have planned for Karl it's just a prediction.

Episodes
I don't think that adding a section per episode is a good idea. Episode one may get reviews which can be used as references but the others probably won't. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Daniel - i see your point, but does something actually need a review to have a synopsis included here on it? The whole series has been previewed, it would be encyclopaedically proficient to regale all aspects of the series, no?. We see mass overviews for all movies on here, i think a paragraph on each episode would be beneficial in time. But let's wait and see next week. Your comments are always welcomed. Googly75 (talk) 15:30, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- Everything in Wikipedia has to be verifiable. If we have sources that cover it, then a paragraph on each episode is fine, if not then it is a problem. As you say, lets wait and see. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- Fair point. I was assuming that a review was the only sort of coverage that was likely, which is why I mentioned it specifically, but maybe that is not the case. As you say, other types of RS coverage are fine too. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:14, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Advert tag
I noticed the advert tag on the article, and apparently it was actually added in September of last year. (The date was added by a bot and is wrong, then). I'm sure the tag was added in good faith; the editor had other contributions so it's not a "drive-by" tagging and maybe it did look like an advert at the time. But it doesn't, now; it looks pretty good. I would be bold and just take off the tag, but since people including the tagger are working on the article I thought I would just open up discussion for removing the tag. Seeing a tag that suggests speedy deleting an article that meets notability guidelines which people have been working on makes me a bit nervous, to be honest.

Show, series, programme or program
All of these are used to refer to the entire series at various points in the article. Yes I understand that there are specific situations where "show" is not synonomis with "series" or "program", however there are at least a couple of uses in the article in which it is used in such a way. If nothing else, a unified spelling of "program" throughout the article would be nice GusgusMadrona (talk) 04:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I think you're right it needs a unified spelling. I'd go for "programme" seeing as it is British. Googly75 (talk) 16:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
First names or last?
The way the article mixes first names and last almost at random within the body text feels stylistically wrong to me. I lean towards using first names to match the way the three personalities in the show refer to each other. Any arguments for using last names (or even leaving the names mixed)?

Does this statement have sources?
Does this statement have sources?- The show was supposedly going to be called Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders, but Ricky informs Karl of the new title at the end of his last trip; given Ricky’s love of harassing Karl, he may never have intended to use the purported original title. This statement reads rather odd. The word Supoposedly makes it sound like a rumor,and the bit about Ricky's love of harassing Karl sounds like spectulation and like a fan wrote it. If I cannot find sources for those statements I will remove it immediately! --74.179.215.67 (talk) 07:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
A better balance ?
Why does the article not mention that the show received criticism for an apparent patronising attitude to the cultures visited ? 90.199.27.133 (talk) 15:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
