message: Is that the logo of the BBC News on the top of the article page. I watch it frequently and I don't think that's the logo as I have never seen it in use before. The image on the 2000s section looks far closer to the logo to me. Ross Rhodes (T C) Sign! 10:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are comparing :File:BBC_News.svg with :File:BBC News at Ten.JPG, then the logos are correct and are the same, BBC News used either the linear or the boxed BBC News logo, since 2008 the box logo is in use on idents and promos. --  axg ⁞⁞ talk  11:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Would it be a good idea to include a new section with a list of BBC News main presenters? It could include the main presenters of Breakfast, 1, 6, 10, Weekend etc as many of these are well respected journalists; it would be a good idea to indicate they work for the BBC. it may also be an idea to link in the BBC's correspondents, such as Robert Peston, Rory Cellan Jones, Nicholas Witchell, Nick Robinson, Will Gompertz, Stephanie Flanders, Hugh Pym etc. Some info is already available at List of BBC newsreaders and reporters so this should at least be linked into the article.

The reference to Ceefax is written in present tense, should this not be past tense as Ceefax has now ended? Will1701 (talk) 17:39, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I strongly oppose the merger of the articles BBC Weekend News and BBC News Summary into this article.  (BBC News Special is a different case - I've never really seen the point in that article).  The Weekend News and Summary are both stand alone bulletins and are advertised as such in the same fashion as the BBC News at Ten is.  They each have their own presenters and rotas as well, each of which deserve documentation.  Furthermore, as they both have their own style, distinct from other bulletins.

replies: text: I agree. Although I think that both pages need significant reworking (especially the Weekend News page) if/when they are saved. Aw16 (talk) 19:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sure the summary page used to be just about the 8pm update.  The BBC treat that as a stand alone bulletin so I think that should keep an article - although definately change the title and make it more specific (like it was).Uvghifds (talk) 17:35, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians, 
I added a source in the “early years” section (citation No.[whatever number it ends up being in the article]) and I was looking for a consensus on whether this is up to Wiki’s standards. 
Because this was published by a university, I am under the impression that it is reliable. Because the university published it, it likely met all of that institution’s internal qualifications for publication, and therefore passed the defense requirement for its thesis.
