Article requests : Improve BBC, BBC News (TV channel) and BBC News to Good Article status following previous reviews, create BBC Computer Literacy Project (in light of forthcoming 30th anniversary)
Cleanup : Chucklevision - references and general clean-up, Pebble Mill Studios - over-detailed and long, BBC World Service Television - unreferenced and confusing
Copyedit : BBC News, Broadcasting House
Expand : Top 20 start-class BBC articles with most importance: BBC Japan, BBC World Service Television, BBC Lifestyle, BBC Two Northern Ireland
NPOV : Criticism of the BBC (See comments)
Stubs : Stub-Class BBC articles
Other : *Restructure the category
- Add infoboxes to the BBC articles without infoboxes
- Add free-use images to biographical articles where possible
- Add references to Goa Mix (see assessment) and Coat of arms of the BBC
- Return Dad's Army to a Good article. (See comments)
- Reassess BBC following improvements to article.

When I was posting the article I note that an article with a similar name was deleted 3 times. Please do not delete this one. It is a good April Fools' Day joke run by BBC, The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mirror at the same time. I hope this article would be a good addition to wikipedia.--Mbz1 (talk) 06:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've looked at the three previous versions, they all merited deletion and none related to the BBC documentary that this article is about. Ϣere SpielChequers 23:42, 4 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

This is article about England, so english rules will prevail. But in America, when we give directions to a page and subpages we use the greater than sign >. This article is using the less than sign <. That looks backwards to me, but if that is how the brits do it, then that's fine by me.---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 23:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
