==Wrong name for article?== yeah bruv Shouldn't this article be called Butlin's since it is named after a singular person named Butlin and the full and proper name is Butlin's Holiday Camps?

-- Butlins dropped the apostrophee in 1999 (see website)

Question

Whatever happened to those cartoon families from the 80's? One was a family of barbers, another a family of brainiacs (or were they college graduates?), and another family looked like they were in the construction business. They were all singing about Butlins. Here's the link, just look under Butlins. 71.111.215.224 02:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Redcoats (Butlins) stub with this article

Surely that article (well a stub) should be part of this article and not a separate article?Robertsteadman 21:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has potential Rob, there is a mass of information about the recruitment process, much more info about the uniforms and the roles of the redcoat themselves. far too much to be accommodated in the main article. I tell you what, why don't we let the community decide?Neuropean 21:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked you not to call me Rob - please desist. Maybe it has "potential" but, as it stands, it doesn;t warrant a separate article - including it within the mnain Butlin's article would give plenty of people a chance to enhace its potential. Robertsteadman 21:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest that the list of Redcoats could be made into a proper WP category too. Robertsteadman 07:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that there is enough separate content in this article to merit a separate article and it would unbalance the Butlins article to include it. Within the UK enough people have heard about redcoats to justify this. I would be unhappy to see the articles merged unless there was a consensus to do so within the Wiki community.Neuropean 20:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There is too much content to be merged in and it has numerous pop-culture references to warrant a seperate article. Timb0h 09:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Odd Link?

Any idea why the BT Tower link is included on this page? JXM 18:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, The BT Tower is linked, because Sir Billy Butlin (Butlins) opererated the revolving restaurant at the top of what was then known as The Post Office Tower, 6th March 2007. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.206.220 (talkcontribs)
Well it needs explaining as it looks really weird. Secretlondon 09:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this logo used rather than any others (this is one which was considered for use in 1999, but a slightly different one was chosen. Also, it has changed since anyhow (see website). Could do with an explaination.

No idea. Sounds like it wants replacing with the current one. Secretlondon 09:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Old logo tagged as orphaned Cowplopmorris 20:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
