message: I have added a table format that I think is better suited to showing the christmas idents and their details. However, the colour has been difficult to choose, as there was no one real colour that represented the channel.

If there is a colour that is more readilly noticeable with the look then please feel free to change it. For the mean time: a dark red. Rafmarham (talk) 20:27, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:BBC News at One

message: BBC News channel changed its logo recently, therefore I uploaded a new version of programme titles with the new logo.

Talk:White City Place

message: Large problems with the article, not least the the building has never been known as "White City One" while the BBC was occupying it. It was called "BBC White City". The building of the Media Village, which some nicknamed "White City Two" then led to the original building being referred to as "White City One".

Talk:HARDtalk

message: I've taken the liberty of removing a reference to an interview of Jimmy Wales.  While it's a significant event to Wikipedia, I don't think the interview constituted an important event in the life of the programme or in global terms.
Given the eminence of the people generally interviewed on that programme, I think we'd need unimpeachable grounds to include that particular reference rather than references to, for instance, interviews of Ali Osman Taha and Mikheil Saakashvili.  --Tony Sidaway 02:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted this again, with reference to our self-references guideline (WP:SELF), in particular the section called "Articles are about their subjects".

Talk:Élan vital

message: I've been reading Bergson and this account of elan vital is wholly inadequate. In his last book, Two Sources of Morality and Religion, he rebuts the misconception that elan vital is being offered as an "explanation" for life, and gives a nuanced but perfectly intelligible explanation of why he developed the idea. I guess the shortest way of putting it is that elan vital stands in for what the scientific / mechanistic explanations for life given in his era failed to account for. It isn't an explanation, but a reminder of the limits of our current explanations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.172.149 (talk) 00:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:List of former BBC newsreaders and journalists

message: An editor has deleted the following as unreferenced:
Doug Crawford originally a pirate radio DJ, and after a stint in presentation at Radio 1, became the presenter of BBC World Radio Club on World Service. Subsequently spent 35 years as a science interviewer for BBC, ABC (Australia "The Science Show"), Deutsche Welle in Koln and Radio Nederland. Voices many commercials, films and audio books
A search finds sources for most of this info, but the online sources I find are just blogs, or wiki references in other articles, etc. Though here is one for the ABC claim . Additional info I found is that he also made important contributions to Start the Week, and BBC World Radio Club was also rather more important a program than the current bare content suggests. He appears to have been a significant enough figure in broadcasting at that time. I'm placing this here in the hope someone with access to printed sources can get more suitable sources.

Talk:Keypad

message: I feel a numeric keypad is specific to a computer keyboard, and is worth its own little article. Keypads cover all sorts of other devices - telephone keypads, calculators, door entry systems... Therefore, I'm against the merge. Davidbod 23:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree that computer keyboard numeric keypads (standalone or otherwise) and phone keypads are sufficiently different things to warrant separate entries. Their applications are in different fields, appropriate for the outputs they need to put off. --SD 203.214.137.125 23:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Numeric keypads are a type of keypad.  They are a subset of the larger catagory "keypad".  Therefore, they could be included in the same entry, though they warrant noting separately.  12.32.32.146 08:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Should be merged. For the reader a keypad is a keypad, regardless if it sits on their computer keyboard, the calculator, the vending machine or the virtual calculator on the smartphone. Splitting these just adds to the confusion.

Note that I have not made an effort (yet) to make this a hub page for keyboards, phone keypads, calculator keypads etc.  It is entirely possible that this should be practically a disambiguation page, with links out to those.

Talk:King (miniseries)

message: I've seen this miniseries a few times, and overall it's very well-done.  I only noticed a couple of minor problems:
1. Paul Winfield was much too tall for this part.  The movie depicts King as towering above everyone else, when in fact he was only 5'7".  I suppose the makers of this film decided Winfield's acting ability compensated for this small inaccuracy.  Winfield was an undeniably fine actor, and his portrayal of King was quite powerful, but I'd think the filmmakers could have found some way to make him look shorter on screen.
2. Winfield's attempts to re-create King's speeches, in my opinion, fell flat.  Unfortunately, King had an oratorical power that even talented actors like Winfield have proven unable to duplicate.
Aside from the above, "King" is a very good film.  It shows King's heroic efforts on behalf of civil rights, but doesn't ignore his faults.  Neither does it ignore his disagreements with other civil rights leaders, such as those who thought he was unwise to speak out against the Vietnam War.  Most refreshing is the movie's less-than-idyllic portrayal of John F. Kennedy, whose support for civil rights was based more on political expedience than principle.  
Incidentally, Kenneth McMillian's portrayal of "Bull" Conner was lifelike enough to be scary!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.113.189 (talk) 15:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  A good movie overall... 

message: I added some cites and did some reorganizing. I came across this because I've been looking at various 70s-80s miniseries articles.  Apparently this miniseries was perhaps somewhat controversial, though I haven't read up on it enough to competently synthesize the sources I have cited. I hope someone is able to do that. It did terrible in the ratings, no doubt in part due to the controversy, but also the network seemed to think it would do great because Roots was such a blockbuster.  That seems like a huge jump in logic. Roots dealt with the struggles and racism blacks faced from colonial times until the Civil War era, not the racism of the current day.--Milowent • hasspoken 19:48, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
