message: "The Irish service differs from the UK-based service in that it does not give advice and instead is promoted as a listening service." - This is inaccurate - the UK service DOES NOT give advice. Will edit article accordingly jdan 22:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing much to say. The minimum for an STD number requires 8 figures, and 1111 is quickest to dial on a rotary/pulse 'phone. So it was chosen as the quickest (and most memorable) Freefone number. Rapido 14:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says that most mobile phone networks don't charge for phonecalls to ChildLine, but which networks do?  J Ditalk 20:20, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Childline.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Childline.jpg

message: Some of the second paragraph in the "UK Operations" section does not read like an encyclopedia article. For example, "The tragedy of child abuse is that..." feels to me more like something from a promotional leaflet or magazine article, and "if a problem is important to children and young people, it is important to ChildLine" seems like a slogan more than anything. I'm all in favour of ChildLine's operations, but Wikipedia is not here to promote them, rather to describe them. I'm too tired to edit reliably now, but I hope someone else can clean up this paragraph. Loganberry (Talk) 01:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  This paragraph seems a bit out of place

message: This article refers specifically to Childline in the United Kingdom. However, there are many Childlines operational throughout the world, for example Childline South Africa. I'd like to recommend creating a disambiguation for this article, or renaming this article to Childline (United Kingdom)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.215.223.160 (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: When there are 3 or more "Childline" articles, Childline (disambiguation) should be created and a hatnote to it put at the top if this article. If and when there is no clearly "most well known" organization using the name "Childline" then this page can be renamed as you suggest and the disambiguation page moved to this title.  As an example of a case where the most well-known entity gets to use the "main" name, see George Washington and George Washington (disambiguation).  See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more on how such pages work.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 04:26, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
