Talk:Jeremy Vine

message: "Openly Christian" ..... is being a Christian on a par with being gay?
:Openly, in that he "wears it on his sleeve", so to speak. Most broadcasters in the UK keep their religious views (if any) pretty much to themselves. Jeremy Vine is an exception, which I thought worth mentioning. --Bonalaw 12:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I got rid of the ridiculous grammar note that someone put in the references section. And I wish these anonymous people would stop complaining. If you don't like his show then why are you so concerned by this article? Rupa zero 12:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there really any point in having that picture there? Vine is such a small figure in the photo, you can't really tell what he looks like. -Q4 (talk) 10:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say it's better than nothing.  We could always create another image from this one, by cropping everything but his head and shoulders - the resolution isn't that great, but it's recognisably him. Waggers (talk) 11:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed the deletion of a reference to a previous marriage.  I don't know anything about this but a quick check shows
:Birth Q2 1965 Jeremy G. VINE Surrey Mid E registration district, mother's maiden name TILLETT
:Marriage Sept 1992 Westminster registration district Jeremy G. VINE to a Janelie H. MUNTZ
I have no idea if this is the same Jeremy G VINE  --jmb (talk) 01:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have searched FreeBMD for any marriage of a Vine, between 1988 and 1992 (no records available from 1993) but there are no results. But as there are no records of ANY Vine after 1988, I suspect these are not available for some reason. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:29, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

message: This claim made in the article doesn't really reflect what happens on air. I checked the reference given, and it's an article published before Vine took over the slot, on his plans for the show. I don't think it's appropriate to use that as a reference for what actually happened afterwards. --88.111.21.148 (talk) 11:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: He takes callers, but only sparingly?

message: re: "Vine's broadcasting style has been likened to the Daily Mail style of tabloid journalism[5] in which a narrow range of subjects are repeatedly presented with the intention of exciting the audience and encouraging them to contact the program."
The reference does not make any comment about his broadcasting style - it merely documents one particular incident in which his radio show discussed the outlook of tabloid newspapers.
Is there any other reference for this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrong Arm (talk • contribs) 13:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Try listening to him now, it's all he does.  Tedious repetition re MPs voting against Brexit in the commons.  He's virtually telling his audience what to say. 213.40.55.89 (talk) 13:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Not an acceptable source. We'd need a secondary source, such as a review or an opinion piece in a WP:RS newspaper. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Daily Mail style of tabloid journalism - reference 

message: Just in case anyone is wondering about the surprising flurry of activity today and resulting review lock, it's all explained by this helpful edit which, we were informed by Vine on his lunchtime show, had been made as a deliberate prank by his BBC research team to test "how reliable Wikipedia is". Needless to say the material lasted a full week without being challenged, until some Wiki listeners, tipped off by JV himself, rapidly jumped in to expunge it. One immediately wonders what other gems the BBC (City of London IP 132.185.160.96) has been responsible for. Apparently Vine, at one time, thanks to this article, was alleged to have a particular penchant for eating sausage rolls, in world record time. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:01, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm one of the 32 watchers and I'd seen that edit on popups and thought that I'd have to go back and investigate but then forgotten all about it. Annoying. JMiall₰ 19:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Vandalism that poses as text, without expletives or obvious nonsense characters, is often a problem: even if one is watching an article, unless one is very familiar with the article subject matter, it's often a chore too far to investigate such edits by checking refs and doing google searches etc. Many times edits have made me think, 'I hope someone else looks into that because I can't be bothered...'. Wikipedia needs more subject experts generally. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, surprising that the research team didn't bother to throw in a few duff sources. I must admit if I'd seen that addition, supported by some hard-copy source such as Radio Times I'd have thought "how fascinating, but he is quite tall isn't he". In fact I'd probably have tried to correct that Manchester Giants syntax error! Martinevans123 (talk) 20:48, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The TV show is not independently notable. So details of it should be selectively merge into Vine's page Joseph2302 (talk) 11:59, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The article for Jeremy Vine (TV programme) was already AfD'd and closed decisively as "KEEP."  There has been zero support for such a merge after three months. Removing the proposal tag. Oakshade (talk) 07:31, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

message: It seems unfair for Vine to be implicated in the Samira Ahmed case. Whilst Vine's pay was used as evidence for Ahmed's case including it in the controversies section implies that Vine was somehow involved in Ahmed being underpaid by the BBC  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:13B:B900:C9EB:76F1:15D2:3C9B (talk) 15:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

message: The phrase "Vine also holds the Guinness World Record for eating the greatest number of sausage rolls in 60 seconds" has been debunked as untrue live on air just now on Radio 2. If it comes on to this page again please delete it and if necessary take administrative action against the editor. David Crayford ☎ 10:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
