Talk:ITV Play

message: The infobox on the ITV Play article doesn't seem to be displaying many bits of information, including the launch date, which although is there when you edit the page, does not appear on the saved article. Anyone with any technical knowledge know why? Sonic 08:49, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed the launch date. The only problem with infoboxes is that the name before the equals sign has to be the exact same as it explains here. Otherwise the date, for example, won't appear on the page. In other words, if it isn't the correct name (eg. 'launch' instead of 'launched') then the box presumes nothing is typed. --AntzUK 23:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Infobox not working

message: Shouldn't the views of Gamcare et al - vulnerable people spending 60 quid a night, etc. - be given some space? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.8  (talk • contribs) 12:36, 26 May 2006
:I think this sort of thing, with verifiable research would be better placed in an article based on the whole genre of participation quiz shows (which ironically doesn't have its own article nor appears in the Game show article), rather than on one channel, it wouldn't be fair to single out one channel because of what seems to be the bad behaviour of a few channels.
:And a bit of advice if I may, please sign off your message with four tildes (e.g -- ~~~~) which will place your username and the time and date after your message. It's helpful to other people to see who wrote what. Thanks. Sonic 18:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, after checking, there is a very small article on it under Quiz channel, so anything should go there rather than in this article. Sonic 18:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism

message: I have been reading through some of the descriptions of the shows and a few things are now starting to sound like an advertisement for ITV Play, which need cleaning up. --tgheretford (talk) 13:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Have added the advert tag to the top of the article. This article is becoming more and more of an advertisement every day, some of it even edge near Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion - CSD G11. --tgheretford (talk) 13:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, if this wasn't for the fact this article was notable, I would nominate it for AfD. But this article really needs a major cleanup. I have added it to the list at Wikipedia:Cleanup#December 3, 2006 --tgheretford (talk) 14:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this article there and did some cleanup. --Banana04131 22:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. There is still some work needs to be done on it though, especially from someone who has knowledge of ITV Play, and can reword the article to not sound like an advertisement. --tgheretford (talk) 22:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Neutral Point of View?

message: # Seems unfair to make that statement about ITV Play, when the criticisms of this and other quiz channels have already been made neutrally in the Quiz channel article;
# Same could (and has) be said for any other quiz channel. --tgheretford (talk) 10:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[WP:NPOV]] violation?

message: * The wording of many of the shows, and especially the way that the times of when the shows are on is displayed is possibly a violation of WP:SPAM guidelines, especially for ITV Playalong, why does the show times need to be in bold?

thread_title: My concerns within the article

message: This article needs a large header with critiscisms. People are getting into debt by calling these shows, you have a very small chance of getting through and an even smaller chance of winning the money on 'puzzles' such as 'add the numbers'. Magnoliapaint 07:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a small bit of information regarding ITV Play on the quiz channel article, though there isn't much verifiable or reliable sources of criticism on ITV Play. The investigations from the Gambling Commission, Ofcom and ICSTIS shouldn't be included in the article because they apply to all quiz channels. --tgheretford (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Make New Page

message: Im thinking of making a table to summarize all the information about the defunct shows, which will contain things like presenters, start and end dates, times and channels it was shown on. Any aditional information can go into the shows own articles. This will make this area alot tidier. What does everyone think of this idea? --Marky7890 (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: ITV suspending all premium rate competitions

message: I removed some comments from 81.158.134.115 to this talk page, as below:
From this, I have added a split tag to the page, and changes should be discussed on this page, not within article namespace. --tgheretford (talk) 13:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not just use a subdivision in the ITV Play article - ITV Play#Channel and ITV Play#Brand and then use second-level headings on them? Unfortunately, ITV Play as a brand is still in existence so we can't very well delve this article straight into past tense. As I did previously, the TV Channel infobox needs to be removed at some point also, however it could be included alongside a subheading in the ITV Play article for the ex-channel. In my opinion, there's not enough information to split the article into two. It's not really a programme so we can't use a programme infobox. A similar situation exists in CBBC / CITV I believe, but since both of them have active dedicated channels, it could not apply to ITV Play. /Marbles 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ITV Play as a channel is dead thankfully, yes we know. Infact if you actually read the article, I simply reorganised information under other categories, and information was added, not taken away. When writing an article, (IMO) you use what is CURRENT about the topic first, then go on about PAST items. As such, the article opened by saying "ITV Play is a brand... etc", however the following paragraphs go into much detail about the ex-channel "It was also a 24-hour...etc". You may also be interested to know that I could consider your unverified comment as a personal attack, and would be possible to report to administrators. Nothing had been denied - all information was there and present, simply in a more structured and simple method. /Marbles 13:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of comments from page plus split suggestion from comments

message: This section is essential to the article. When I think of the ITV Play Brand I think of Quizmania, The Mint and Glitterball. They were shown on ITV1 under the ITV Play name and not just on the ITV Play Channel. Error96 20:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article ITV Play is about the brand on ITV1 and ITV2. ITV Play (channel) is funnily enough about the channel. There is no logic behind your editing to the ITV Play article at all. I don't want to get into a revert war, see WP:1RR#One-revert_rule. Please, think about what your doing. It just doesn't make any sense.GMctalk 21:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
