Talk:Wonderful Radio London

message: I am creating this page while updating and expanding the entry for "Pirate Radio". In 1984 I interviewed Don Pierson for a radio broadcast and some of this material has now been published with my cooperation by Sibiu University Press under the authorship of Dr. Eric Gilder. I will be drawing upon this material and my lasting friendship with Don Pierson who turned over to me all of his official records concerning the creation of Wonderful Radio London and his other offshore radio stations: "Swinging Radio England" and "Britain Radio". I will also be creating page entries for these stations as time permits and linking them all through the "Pirate Radio" entry. MPLX/MH 21:30, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The Wonderful Radio London Story (Jumbo Records, UK, 1997) is a 3-CD audio documentary comprising narration, interviews and clips from programmes. It is now out of print but may be available secondhand.
::This is a contested copyright issue. Please see the external link: http://radlon.bravehost.com/index.html
However, the contributor is in the legal position of being able to contribute this information from its original source, not the source cited above, due to the fact that some of the contested material - especially the exclusive interview with Don Pierson and a lot of documented material about the origin of the station, comes from Don Pierson archives in the legal possession of the contributor to this article and this is one reason why this information is now being made available for everyone by these contributions to "Wonderful Wiki"! By the way, I am also in the process of creating a Don Pierson biography on Wikipedia. I have not had time to complete it as of this date.

message: The reference to John Yorke appears ambiguous.  The Wikipedia article for John Yorke makes no mention of any involvement with pirate radio.  Although it appears he is a BBC TV producer, so I am not sure if it is the same person or not.  Does anybody  know? Charles 20:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Radio London Ship - MV Galaxy.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.

In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.

message: Who named this Wonderful Radio London???.  The "Wonderful" part was only ever used in promotional material. The namne used within text in news stories, and on air was simply "Radio London" --Keith 23:00, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  incorrect use of file name 

message: It's well-known that the start-up of Radio One in August 1967 was to satisfy the demand for pop-music broadcasting which the BBC had previously ignored, only for the pirate stations to move in and fill the gap.
However, reading this article, it seems to me that at least two early Radio One jingles can be traced back to Radio London; the "Radio One is wonderful" jingle (which is also a pun; later parodied by a comedy show as "Radio Prune is prunederful") and the "Tower of Power" jingle which referenced Radio London boasting (in both senses) the most powerful antenna mast in pirate radio.
If references can be found for these links, so they can be included in the article, it would be great. — 188.29.36.18 (talk) 17:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
