message: According to a poster on Digital Spy (source) and I can confirm with my new Digital Radio, the BBC have renamed their digital radio stations. Though their official sites don't show any change. If the BBC confirm the name changes on their official sites, the articles will need to be moved to their new names. --tgheretford (talk) 22:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Just to make everyone aware, I don't know how far this is going, but I have noticed a number of logos are being nominated for deletion because of the lack of a non-free media rationale guideline (a.k.a. fair use rationale). Might be worth checking logos within articles and making sure a rationale is added to articles. If there isn't one, then one should be added a.s.a.p. --tgheretford (talk) 12:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logo's being deleted from articles 

message: Be warned that fair use rationales with have got be full, complete and watertight. I have had a contribution speedily deleted under CSD#I6 under WP:NFCC#10c, even though it had this rationale, which I thought would cover it. I have also had an official warning for the text below on the aforementioned contribution:
# It is a logo of a pay television service which cannot be described in prose;
# There is no free alternative available;
# The logos inclusion to the article is paramount as it was the subject of a major advertising campaign;
# It is a low resolution image of the logo;
# It is a historically significant episode and logo of British Sky Broadcasting.
I have not come across a radio logo image which has as much as this, and it is likely that all of these are likely for deletion. If you have updated anything, make sure it is watertight and complete, and add as much information as you can. Seems paranoia about copyright is creeping in. --tgheretford (talk) 10:28, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that a number of local radio stations were removed from the list of UK radio stations after they were deleted. I checked one (a nearby local station) called Rother FM and I noticed that the article was deleted under speedy deletion criteria A7, whereas other stations with simliar notability and coverage (ie. Trax FM, Lincs FM, Dearne FM and even greater coverage stations such as Hallam FM and BBC Radio Sheffield are untouched. I fear that now all the local radio articles could be under threat of being speedily deleted under A7, after all, if a number of stations similar to the ones which still exist are being deleted, surely the rest are now under threat (Wikipedia being neutral and all that)? ----tgheretford (talk) 13:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello all.
Randomly perusing articles over the past few months (Most recently I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue), I've seen more than one reference something called a BBC Treasure Hunt, wherein the BBC made a public appeal for recordings that were wiped?
Funny thing is, there is no article for it, unless it was called something else entirely. If it doesn't exist, can I inconvenience someone in this task force to male one? It sounds extremely interesting, and I'm very curious to know what the results were...
Thanks

message: Hi,
I've recently created Troy (BBC radio drama) and had it up as a DYK today. One obvious area for improvement is the detail of the cast list. I've put together the info I can find via Google but have only been able to find some list of performers (withotu roles) plus some specific mentions in reviews of individuals performing odd roles. So I know who play Achilles, Priam and Andromache but not Agamemnon, Menelaus and Odysseus. The programme was first broadcast as the main radio 3 Sunday drama three weeks in a row in 1998 and I'm sure that the RT used to give full cast lists for this but I am a bit vague on when they stopped. Anyone able to source this? Thanks.--Peter cohen (talk) 09:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anyone have reference to a detailed archive of radio play cast lists? 

message: Not so long ago, Digital Radio UK updated all (excluding the BBC National DAB ensemble) ensemble labels from the ensemble owner/area to just the area that the ensemble serves. This is to help users identify where the station and ensemble they are listening to broadcasts to. This is going to require a significant number of moves of articles to reflect the correct name.
ie. Bauer South Yorkshire → South Yorkshire (DAB multiplex), MXR Yorkshire → Yorkshire (DAB multiplex)
I'll try and do this if I can this week, although I may be busy with other things (sigh, always the case with annual leave), but if anyone else can help, it would be greatly appreciated. --tgheretford (talk) 19:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: While listening to a repeat of the above programme on R4E last night, I looked at our page on it and that on Follett's official website and noticed a resemblance. I've shoved up a Copyvio template for now. Anyone want to sort things? The article has not yet been tagged as falling under this project but obviously does.--Peter cohen (talk) 10:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I recentlyish created a few articles about programmes on that station but they all ended up being draftified on the basis of my references being either form the BBC Programme Archive or audio clips. I think these articles, for programmes such as Morning Edition, Five Aside, This Family Business and others are worthy of their own articles and my Morning Edition article remains in Draftspace.
