Some time ago I created articles for two BBC-related people of my personal acquaintance. Since then both have been deleted as non-notable. I am past debating that, but I thought it worthy of mention here in case those people interested in creating BBC-related articles might want to take up the cause again if they disagree with that position. To be honest, the main problem in both cases was that I was unable to find sufficient reference material other than on their own web sites (that may now have changed): |

Can anyone explain what is up with the 'story arc' section in a few of the episode pages. If there is a serious, noteworthy story arc then it's probably worth a mention but lines like 'During his "war is hell" speech, Grandad mentions his brother, George, who would also be mentioned in "Strained Relations" as being Del's assumed godfather' or 'Del says that he was a little infant when his parents got married' is really not encyclopedic and in my opinion lets the articles down. Are there any objections to removing the unnecessary points? [[User:RaseaC|RaseaC]] ([[User talk:RaseaC|talk]]) 00:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC) |

I would appreciate it if you could re-assess [[Raven (game show)]], as lots of people have put in a great effort to get it up to speed, and it is almost certainly no longer Start-Class. [[User:SynergyBlades|SynergyBlades]] ([[User talk:SynergyBlades|talk]]) 03:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC) |

The BLITS ident also features in BBC HD's current 'Barker' sequence. It re-occurs every other hour, accompanying the HD testcard, and alternates with Rowan de Pomerai's 'clapper-board' lip-sync test. Please contact Andy Quested (BBC HD Head of Technology) for further information. |

I am a new editor [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers]] May former members of staff become members of this group as subject experts or is that considered a conflict? I think [[CBBC]] and [[CBBC (TV channel)]] need a tidy up with the [[CBBC]]page being renamed BBC Children's with a clearer explanation to the division BBC Children's (distinct from the former name of CBBC which was Children's BBC) and this page should link both to [[CBeebies]] and [[CBBC]] as well as outlining digital services. [[BBC Children's]] is currently a redirect to a section of [[Cbeebies]]. I have also created a page [[Director of BBC Children's]] before realising I should be requesting new BBC pages here so someone may want to review this too.

This article has a bunch of rubbish in it, misinformation, inappropriate pictures, and so on. I don't know enough to put the correct information in, and the Red Dwarf wikiproject appears rather dead, hence my request here. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 18:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
