By the way, I meant to ask at the help desk page, but I forgot: What was with all the boldface in the article? Was that on purpose? You can drop me a line on my talk page, or just respond here. GlassCobra 10:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Your dad is definitely notable, so the article isn't in any immediate danger of being deleted. You're doing a great job so far of taking the bias out of the article, and some more sources will definitely make sure the article is kept. Keep it up, and let me know if you need any help!

Ah, almost forgot: When you write on a talk page, like the help desk or this page, type four tildes (~~~~) after your post; this signs it by putting your name and the date. I think I mentioned that at your entry on the help desk, but you may not have seen it. Happy editing! GlassCobra 11:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great job signing your post, but you don't need to create a new section every time. If you've already posted about a similar topic on a given talk page, you can just keep your comments in the same section. If you look at how I fixed your reply, you can see how inserting a colon before your comment creates an indent, as threaded comments are easier to read. For this comment, I put two indents to signify a progression in the conversation. For more details, check out Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Keep up the good work!

Ok I'm getting with this! Please could you give me some guidance about how you would go about sourcing material that has been broadcast on BBC. I earlier suggested that all Bill's work is listed in Radio Times. The Radio Times website is understandably concerned in giving contempary listings. I've found one or two archive sites, but they are far from complete. I've also found an unsettling note that the BBC had an archives purge in the early seventies, and destryoed a lot of the radio and tv listings prior to this. I am now relying on the fact that the British Library has copies of RT back to its launch in 1921. However, I'm not going tobe able to get access to them for some time. Given all this, how would Wikipedia normally wish people to source broadcast content? Andyofnewark 12:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(unindenting) The first thing to do is add sources for all of the statements in the article. I added a citation to the first section to show you how to do it. In some articles almost every single sentence has a citation so that readers can verify the reliability of the information. You won't need that many citations but you probably should have a citation in each section. I also suggest adding a Bibliography section just before the new References section. I wouldn't worry too much about providing sources for BBC broadcasts. Sbowers3 15:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have added your first citation. That puts you ahead of many editors who haven't figured out how to do it well. Just one thing - when you add a citation, you don't have to add an external link as you did. The link for that citation automatically ends up in the References section.

Thank you. In the event I had added the link before it occurred to me that it was a useful citation. I will of course delete it,

Apologies, please put it down to my lack of experience, and confusion occasioned by the vast detail of Wikipedia's explanation of copyright. The picture in question was taken by me in 1971. I struggled to work out 1. precisely which category I placed it in, and 2. how to actually upload it.

Image copyright problem with Image:William Stanton - Author.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is down to my inexperience with Wikipedia. I have now corrected it and made the appropriate copyright statment. The photo is question is mine, and was taken of Bill while recording in 1971.

How Am I Doing?

Have I satisfied the Conflict of interst and npov concerns yet? Andyofnewark 08:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I made some cleanup and added lots of stuff that I found online. Tell me what you think! :) GlassCobra (Review) 13:20, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
