Happy New Year! |

- Thanks, and Happy New Year to you too. Hope 2018 is a good one. This is Paul (talk) 00:42, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Timeline of BBC Radio 4
I have just created the above article, and also a timeline of BBC Local Radio. Any additions/new information would be much appreciated. Rillington (talk)
- Great articles, I'll see what else I can find. This is Paul (talk) 18:08, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. The BBC local radio timeline is basically complete as it stands. However if we expand it to significant events for individual stations, something I have largely omitted due to not having access to that information, then there is plenty of room for additions and should the BBC Genome Project expand to include BBC Local Radio then plenty of new events can be added. Regarding Radio 4, I know that the Radio 4 timeline is incomplete but at least it gives us a good start. I have also been thinking of doing a timeline for Radio 5/5 Live but have not decided as yet. Rillington (talk)
- Agree that could be difficult. In the past I've found some significant events for a few of the larger stations (such as WM, GLR, etc) from presenter biographies. Also the BBC website holds local radio schedules from recent years (like this one from WM) and I occasionally trawl through those to get dates. The Radio Today website can also be quite useful, but again only with recent events. There's probably enough information for a Radio Five Live timeline. I seemed to find a lot when I was doing the programme lists for the years articles. This is Paul (talk) 22:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- The Radio Today website was established in around 2004 and that site has definitely helped with entries, and provided references, for the timelines and for the years in radio articles from that year to date. Also I've just created a 2018 in British radio article. Rillington (talk)
- Good thinking, it was something I'd overlooked. This is Paul (talk) 22:35, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for resolving that with a compromise edit. My personal opinion is that it is still POV, but it's much less POV now! --75.177.79.101 (talk) 05:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- No problem. We should always try to use either the generally accepted term, or a neutral one, for topics such as this. I'll take a better look at it when I get the chance, though he's not somebody I know a great deal about. This is Paul (talk) 20:16, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1984 in British television, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages TVS and UTV (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Independent Radio timeline
I have just created my latest radio timeline - Timeline of UK independent radio. It is pretty comprehensive but there are bound to be some station launches/closures missing, especially community stations, that I have missed. If you can help fill in any gaps I'd be most grateful. Rillington (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
- This is a great idea. I see what you mean about the length though. I'll take a look as there's bound to be a few things I can add. This is Paul (talk) 18:17, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hope it's ok to do this. I've moved the page to Timeline of independent radio in the United Kingdom in line with other UK timeline articles. Feel free to request a move back to the original title though if you disagree.
- Thank you for making the change to the title. I also deliberately used the word independent rather than commercial as I wanted to ensure that community radio was included. Rillington (talk) 20:18, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- I did wonder about that, but it makes sense to use independent as there are a lot of community and internet stations that are not commercial. This is Paul (talk) 20:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

WOSO Task Force News: April 2018
|
Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: April 2018 |
 Eniola Aluko of England (in white) and Jovana Mrkić (in red) of Montenegro, 2014
Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}
Want some tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? |

Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)! |
