Talk:Rainbow (TV series)

message: Under "Characters" there is an entry for "Presenter". I think this should be altered, as Geoffrey was clearly a character in the show, notwithstanding the fact that the actor's first name was also Geoffrey. He should be detailed as a character, not simply as Geoffrey Hayes, and given a description. 
The reason I've not done it is that I know nothing about his predecessor David Cook, and presumably there was a character called David in the show to start with? Maybe someone could put both characters in? MegdalePlace 21:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone add anything in about the small animations which were interspersed in the show - eg who made them? I seem to remember one which started with a straight and curly line appearing at the top left of a blank screen, with bizarre sound effects like machine gun fire and whistles. The would morph into shapes and with further odd sound effects, other elements and colours would appear, gradually forming a picture of something or other.
I also remember a regular animation of a boy blowing up a rainbow-coloured balloon which would become enormous, and he'd eventually float away with it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MegdalePlace (talk • contribs) 21:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Rainbow television.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Perhaps Zippy might pass, but I wouldn't say that the other two would have independent notability. Thoughts?--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 22:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's a good idea in theory, but it might work to the detriment of the article. There's a fair bit to say about Zippy and Bungle, and it would dominate the page to have character after character. The solution would be to truncate the sections, which would mean losing info. There is a better case for having just one page with the three characters dealt with there (and as I said above, I would consider Geoffrey a character too). 81.96.164.105 (talk) 13:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge the three articles on the inidividual characters here? 

message: It looks poorly written out and, if I recall, they are not very much encouraged under Wikipedia unless a separate article.

replies: text: MAY fail WP:NOTDIR, but this is subjective. Also, is there a reason it is all in capital letters? -- CowplopmorrisTalkContribs 21:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
