message: The reference to Kate Allen refers to the wrong person - she's not the Australian triathlete!

message: According to section 1.7.3. of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is not a radio guide. Is there any way that the schedule could be made encyclopedic by changing it into a Presenters and Programmes section? --tgheretford (talk) 20:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree that much of this stuff should be reframed or culled. --DanielRigal 15:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

text: OK. As nobody had anything to say in its defence, I have rewritten it extensively. The new stuff probably needs tidying up a bit and the news and sports sections need expanding.--DanielRigal 18:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Schedule - Unencyclopedic 

message: Wanted to get people's opinion on whether having a subsection 'GLR - a waste of time and money?' is NPOV? I know GLR was controversial but the amount of money spent on creating London Live as well as subsequent rebrandings could also merit a heading.
:I don't think the title, with its question mark, is intended as a POV statement but as a reflection of the terms of the debate around the destruction of GLR. It would be better if the phrase "waste of time and money" was in quotes. That said, I think it would be even better to redo the GLR section in three sections covering the start, life and controversial end of the station. --DanielRigal 15:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GLR - A waste of time and money 

message: This article gives the impression that BBC Radio London was the first BBC local radio station - in fact it was BBC Radio Leicester, launched nearly three years earlier. 217.34.39.123 12:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The infobox picture is of the BBC London regional news programme. This page is for the radio station, so an image similar to the BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio Merseyside infobox pics is more appropriate. The BBC website might be a good place to look.

message: I just thought I'd mention that the article implies BBC LDN was a name (and is actually slightly contradictory as it refers to BBC LDN as a name and also BBC London as a name).  BBC LDN as a name is actually a common misconception - the station (nor the website nor the news programme) were never actually called BBC LDN.  It was always called BBC London 94.9 and the LDN was merely a brand (the TV was BBC London News and online was bbc.co.uk/london).  This was detailed several times in the BBC staff newspaper Ariel - although confusion is not entirely surprisingly because they never used the proper names visually just the LDN "logo".  
I'm not going to make any edits because I work for the BBC (but not in BBC London) and as such it would be a conflict of interest!  But I thought I'd mention it.

message: Major edit in progress. Will take a few days to complete (largly re-writting). If possible, please do not edit the main article until this is finished. I will report back here when done (few days). Thanks for your patience, sorry if this is an inconvenience. Jwikiediting (talk) 22:03, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Will finish the updates in the next few days! Jwikiediting (talk) 22:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Finished copy editing. Also removed the copy edit tag. I mainly edited the bad formatting that was in place and put it to be similar to guidlines if wikipedia. Have any questions please say. (To get my attention ask questions on my user talk page or simply post a note on my talk page to get me to look here!) Jwikiediting (talk) 19:58, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: The last copyedit was ten years ago, so any encyclopedic quality it may have had after this attempt seems to have been eroded. The article is littered with editorialising, 'words not to use', unsourced text, and a style comparable to a holiday timeshare promo presentation. I have referred the article to the Guild of Copyeditors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests#BBC_Radio_London), but obviously anyone could have a go at improvement.

replies: text: Acabashi, I don't think this article is suitable for a full copy-edit; please see my comments at REQ talk. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 22:31, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyedit needed again. 

message: As mentioned a year ago by Acabashi, I agree this article needs work.
Some sections are still largely unreferenced and appear to me to be original research, so have added the OR tag. 46.69.29.80 (talk) 10:08, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
