Add references to Goa Mix (see assessment) and Coat of arms of the BBC.

"21 seconds to load" Ambiguous and as work has been done to improve speeds the "takes 21 seconds to load" is not only wrong but also impossible to quantify as 'speed' on BBCi would be different on the 3(4) platforms - on digital satellite ? freeview (dtt) or on dcable (telewest or NTL ?)

In addition, different models of receiver are faster or slower than others - a 1998 Pace BSkyB 2100 is going to take maybe a minute+ to load the o-code for BBCi, but a 2005 Pace DS430N can do it in under five seconds. Same would go for old slow ONDigital boxes and brand new ones with MHEG5. --Kiand 14:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BBCi (logo).gif

Image:BBCi (logo).gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
