Talk:Radio 4 UK Theme

message: I am responding to a request for a third opinion.
British Isles is a geographical designation, while United Kingdom is a political one.  In the context of gale warnings, the geographical designation seems obviously most pertinent.  That broadcasts can be picked up farther away is known to most anyone who uses radio for such purposes, but there's no harm in mentioning it specifically.  
If I missed any essential element in the dispute above, please respond here where the issue is being discussed rather than on my user talk page.  Thanks.  — Athaenara  ✉  20:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: (edit conflict)Hi, thank you for responding, but you are incorrect to simply state that the term should be used because "the geographical designation seems most pertinent".  It would be helpful if you could elaborate a little on why you stated this - why is it most pertinent?  You can also follow the discussions to date on my talk page.  You may not be aware, but we have requested CarterBar (several times) to provide references, which he has been unable to do.  The best he could provide was a reference which used Wikipedia as a reference - a circular reference if you will - that relied on the original incorrect usage of the term.  I and another editor have provided references from numerous sources (including the BBC's own website, Radio 4's website, and the other relevant Wikipedia articles) that all use the term "United Kingdom".  In addition, the range of the broadcasts, and the areas reported on, encompass the coastlines of Northern Europe Link to Met Office areas.  --Bardcom (talk) 22:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

text: * Comment:  Nowhere in my post does the phrase "should be used" appear.  In responding to other editors' posts, please refer to what was actually posted.  — Athaenara  ✉  01:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: (Addendum)I also agree that the wording chosen by User:Crispness is less contentious while still remaining more accurate than the previous entry.  I'm happy to leave it at that wording.  --Bardcom (talk) 22:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didn't know at first what you meant, but I found the "within range" diff.  — Athaenara  ✉  01:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Third opinion

message: So it was commissioned in 1973 but first broadcast in 1978? Could someone clarify this? Drutt (talk) 19:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it is a bit confusing at the moment. The UK Theme was commissioned and first broadcast in 1978, but the 2006 BBC Press release got it wrong because its information was taken off here (!) The 1973 date refers to an earlier piece called the "Skipping Tune", also by Spiegl, which is where the confusion arose from. Rob (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
