message: :Image:Benidorm itv1.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Are the final appearances listed for Series 4 accurate? After all, Series 5 has yet to air. Is there a source for any of them?Smurfmeister (talk) 14:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Final appearances?

message: "She approaches the Garvey's asking them for payment on the beach's sun-bed's so Mick gives her 20 euros and later back in the Solana she approaches Gavin and Troy asking them for 30 euros to help her ill son but Janice sees her and agnologises who she is and has a fight with her and gets the Garvey's money back."
 
Is this a typo or a made up word? Maybe "realises" would be correct. Also, "Garvey's" should read "Garveys'", but that's a bit pedantic. JohnB57 (talk) 12:08, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Con Woman - "Agnologises" ..?

message: A lot of the summaries are copy paste. They should be rewritten in an editors own words preferably after watching the episode because there is generally more going on than advertised. Also most previews often end with a question? which you should not find in an encyclopedia. Spoilers are allowed you can give the plot away but you can be clever and not give too much away.REVUpminster (talk) 12:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Wikipedia:Copy-paste]]

message: Please check that the content you are adding is not the same as what has been written elsewhere on the page. There isn't much point in having the same information two or three times on the same page.
Please ensure your edits are verifiable with reliable sources if not they have a high probability of being removed. Saying you are editor/director or anything else to do with the production of Benidorm doesn't cut it here. You must include those reliable sources to show where the information has originated.

message: Just to say this article for some reason is one of the most vandalised pages or carelessly edited breaking the formatting. On my watchlist it surpasses Daniel Craig, David Carradine, and Zorro.REVUpminster (talk) 09:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd agree it appears more than any other article on my watchlist. Unfortunately it appears that the (usually IP) editors never read or take notice of this page. They also seem to be of the "hit and run" variety, making a few edits - maybe their first on Wikipedia, then not making any more. As about 328 out of the last 500 edits made since 1 April 2012 have been IP edits I would suggest long term semi protection which would cut down some of the hit an run stuff however I'm not sure whether an admin would agree to it. The majority of the edits by logged in users have been undos reverts and repairs to edits made by the IP's. Fraggle81 (talk) 13:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I see the newshounds were quick off the mark to drop outgoing members (who are, in fact, still in it) and add new/returning characters (who, as yet, are not). Since this is the article for the entire TV series and not just Series 7, this is inapproriate. Per WP:MOSTV "articles should reflect the entire history of a series, and as such actors remain on the list even after their departure from the series". The same MOS article suggests linking large cast lists (as is done with many long-running series on WP).
I propose to do just that, producing one less place to edit when things change and reducing the number of opportunities for substituting all your friends' names for the actors/characters listed (Billy Parker has been there since 23 March) TriumFant (talk) 01:53, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree, watching the various Benidorm pages takes takes up a disproportionate amount of my time compared to the few thousand other pages on my watchlist. Anything that can be done to sort things out would be helpful. There are at least four pages relating to Benidorm - Madge Harvey, Mateo Castellanos, List of Benidorm cast and characters and of course Benidorm (TV series). I can't see any good reason for having a separate Madge Harvey and Mateo Castellanos pages though, none of the other characters have their own so why these? Merge/delete seems like a good idea at the moment particularly as both are wholly unsourced. Fraggle81 (talk) 11:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
