Thank you

Just wanted to compliment you for your edit the other day (25th March) on the I'd Do Anything (BBC TV series) article. I hadn't been sure how to add details of the series and just added it as best I could, but it looks much better now after your edit, so thank you and well done! ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 17:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. With the songs performed on each show, I used the info from the BBC website which listed them all in the order they were sung. Though one of the songs, Get There, I couldn't find an article for on wikipedia (there are some articles but I wasn't sure if any of them were correct, one was from a Danish song). As the show progresses and the article likewise I'm sure that a decent format for listing the songs from each show will emerge. Plus it seems that each Saturday they will be announcing one "Oliver" semi-finalist. If I recall correctly there will be 8 semi-finalists from the 12 boys though I could be wrong. Maybe more will become clearer after todays results show, which I am presuming they filmed last night as the voting closed at 9pm on Saturday. Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 16:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

My apologies for another message, however I just wanted to ask someone elses opinion. An IP user keeps adding in the surnames of two of the boys. Each time I remove them (stating why in the edit summary) they add the two back in again. Everything that has come out from the BBC about the show, press releases and so on, whilst the surnames of the "Nancys" are included, the surnames of the "Olivers" are not used, just their first names (certainly in everything I have seen). My own opinion is if that is what the BBC are doing then we should respect that on here and not include their surnames, especially when they are being added "unsourced". Presumably the three "winners" full names will be given as and when they have won the part, but until then I just think it is best to use the first name only. Am I being too cautious or is this the correct way for what are after all minors. Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I left a message on the IP users talk page. It does seem as though the BBC are (quite rightly in my opinion) using only their first names for privacy reasons and I think wikipedia should also respect that. Hopefully it won't happen again, but you never know! ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 20:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
