message: Is there any reason to use a constant width of 200px for the logo instead of using individual users' preferences for thumbnails?  I use Wikipedia on my PC and on a mobile/PDA.  On my PC, both settings look pretty similar.  However, on my PDA the logo is way too big at 200px, but looks great if set as a thumbnail because I have set thumbnail display to 120px in Special:Preferences.  --Throup (talk) 18:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this information really enyclopedic? Seems a bit too much like fancruft, or just simply useless information to me. Robdurbar 00:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I came here to say the same. It seems to me that a current schedule is not encyclopedic, and we are not the Radio Times. Why a current schedule and not, say, the schedule from the week of launch? I'm going to remove it. --kingboyk 21:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I was thinking the same. Schedules have been removed from other Wikipedia radio pages so I think it's best if they're gone.--AntL talk 14:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a major gap in this page; it jumps almost straight from the opening year or so to the mid-1990s, with almost nothing on some of the developments in between such as "Sounds of the Seventies" or the live folk half-hour (which featured live sessions from acts such as Fairport Convention, Pentangle and Shirley Collins.Jon Rob (talk) 09:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Fearne Cotton will become the first regular female presenter of the UK Top 40. Jo Whiley was the first female presenter of the UK Top 40 on November 24, 2002
These two statements appear to contradict each other.  If JW was the first how can FC also be the first?  Unless it means: while JW did present the show she did so only
occasionally and as a guest: FC was the first to regularly present it ie as a headline presenter....  Clarification required... Jubilee♫clipman 17:31, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

has been removed. It's unencyclopedic, citation free and appears to have nothing to do with the origins of radio 1 (being stashed right after the addition of Annie Nightingale)--Shadebug (talk) 01:43, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unencyclopedic content 

message: I think the claim that Annie was Britain's first female DJ needs some clarification.  English transmissions from Radio Luxembourg had occasional female DJs, and a couple of the smaller fort based 60s stations had female presenters. Annie was probably the first who could be clearly heard throughout the nation though. --Deke42 (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

message: What a strange article! There were various changes to Radio 1 in the 1980s and it had a very large audience - features like "Our Tune" (beginning in 1980) and The Steve Wright In The Afternoon show of the mid-to-late '80s are still widely remembered, but the 1980s are not featured at all - the article flips from an unsubstantiated "70s Peak" to "Changes in the 90s". Highly odd!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.180.211 (talk) 17:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Would it be better to represent the schedule as a table? I could probably make a table for it but it would take a while so if anyone thinks it's a really stupid idea tell me here and I won't bother. NemesisAT (talk) 16:35, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As shown above, a schedule table goes against WP:NOTRADIOGUIDE and without paying royalties is also a criminal offence. So it's probably not the best idea. Also, the changes don't take place until September so I undid your edit, nothing personal :) -BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 16:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Schedule changes - would a table be better? 

message: The first two sentences don't make sense:
"Radio 1 originally broadcast on 1214 kHz medium wave (or 247 metres). On 23 November 1978, the latter was moved to 1053/1089 kHz (275/285 m), but did not broadcast nationally on its own FM frequencies until late 1987"
There is no "latter".  Was there some info about sharing FM which was moved, leaving this dangling?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.85.76 (talk) 12:29, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
