Timelines

You probably spotted that I have created a few more timelines in recent months. They have focussed on specific parts of the UK - television timelines for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and London and radio timelines for London and Manchester. It isn't my intention to create timelines for all parts of the UK but should any other areas of the UK have their own TV and/or radio timeline? Rillington (talk) 14:23, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed, but great work on these. Possibly Birmingham would be another city to consider for a radio timeline, not least because it is the UK's second city. This is Paul (talk) 19:53, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

"Corbyn the Musical: The Motorcycle Diaries" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Corbyn the Musical: The Motorcycle Diaries. Since you had some involvement with the Corbyn the Musical: The Motorcycle Diaries redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so.

Timelines for BBC News and ITN/ITV News

I have been thinking about whether we should produce timelines for BBC News and ITN/ITV News. If we were to do them I think that personnel/newsreader changes should not be included. What are your thoughts? Rillington (talk) 11:58, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes I think that sounds great. Re the newsreaders, I'd make an exception for very well known events involving them, like Nan Winton becoming the first female newsreader and Trevor McDonald retiring, but the day-to-day comings and goings would be too excessive.

Personal attacks

Please refrain from making edits personal attacks and read WP:SKYBLUE. Basic and very obvious statements do not need to be cited. Jo being a British politician does not need citing.

Thank you. Erzan (talk) 08:39, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Firstly, please remain civil and don't accuse others of making personal attacks. Secondly, please see the discussion here. Thank you, This is Paul (talk) 15:36, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Red wall

Hi, I saw that you added a section Blue wall (politics)#Outside the United States for the "red wall" term which has been coined in British politics. It certainly needs an entry somewhere, I'm not sure it fits well into a page that is otherwise dedicated to American politics. I'm looking at creating a page for it, Draft:Red wall (British politics) - feel free to work on it. LookLook36 (talk) 15:37, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

I'll see what I can find. The term's fairly new, but if we can source enough information about it then a separate article is a great idea. I was thinking about starting one after watching the election coverage but then saw someone had already added it to the Blue wall page so created the redirect instead. I did, however, create Glossary of terms from the 2019 United Kingdom general election because there are a few terms that seem specific to this particular election. This is Paul (talk) 23:20, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
I've added a bit to it, and moved it to the article mainspace at Red wall (British politics). LookLook36 (talk) 14:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
ok looks great. This is Paul (talk) 15:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
