message: Should there be a bit more about Pudsey Bear on this page like history and origins. After all this site does redirect from Pudsey Bear. If not should the sites be unconnected? --Jonwood1 15:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  2007 updates 

message: Should, after tonight's event, consideration given to separating the pages in to their respective years. That way the CIN master page just contains the premise of the show, with links to each year. Only the current year being filled in, then moved after the event? PS Great page to who is doing it.

replies: text: That sounds like a good idea to me. anemone|projectors 23:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The individual events are starting to steal focus from the primary subject of the article. Also, this is already being done for Comic Relief for the same reason. It would be great if the same format was followed. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 23:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's wait until tomorrow though hey, i's hard enough keeping it on one page... Pedgeth (talk) 23:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just adding my voice here: once the dust has settled on the 2007 event, there should definitely be a split. That would also allow, for example, the 2006 event to be covered in more detail than just the mostly bare lists we have now - though that would need proper inline referencing. 86.132.138.84 (talk) 03:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If the articles were split, the current lists we have now would need to be expanded greatly with citations, (preferably) pictures, proper prose text, etc. The current lists are not worthy articles on their own. mattbuck (talk) 13:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with splitting off segments as failure to do so  would result in the page size exceeding its quota at a later stage thereby requiring a trim down anyway. -TonyW (talk) 15:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

text: That looks a lot better. Well done Peteb!--Whoosher (talk) 15:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Considering how important their work is, and how large they are, the section takes up a disproportionately large amount for what is one man's fee, that no longer tkaes place. Larklight (talk) 22:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The section only takes up five lines of the article.That could hardly be described as excessive space.Paul210 (talk) 11:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Five lines is more than all of it's history, or all 0f 2005, 2006 and 2007 on my browser. It is excessive given the length of the article, and should be trimmed at the very least.Larklight (talk) 19:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: I propose all the performance details should now be removed from the 2007 segment.
The show has been and gone. The amount raised is recorded. The rest is clutter in what should be a concise article Paul210 (talk) 12:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that such information isn't concise to this particular article which I believe is why a split has been proposed. If this information was in an article about the event itself then this information would be a useful reference and therefore shouldn't be removed at this stage. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 13:36, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

text: There seems to be a reasonable concensus for a split, so we should probably do that instead. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 13:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tickets 

message: How much do celebrities get paid for doing performances for this so-called charity? I know that presenter Terry Wogan gets paid a healthy sum for presenting the show. Surely, more money could be raised for charity if less was rased for the pockets of the celebs? Maybe if more money actually went to Children who are in need, there would be less work for children in need to do!--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Don%27t_look_back_in_anger 16:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

message: What about introducing a table along the lines of this to show the dates of each years event, amounts raised where known and the various presenters. The table could then link to the article for the relevant year so that it doesn't drag on and on with the "recent events" section each year. Seedybob2 (talk) 23:36, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a good idea and a tidy table, but I think it would be hard to populate it. Where could we find sources for that information? Alistair Stevenson (talk) 00:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
