[edit] Advertising

it seems a bit like an advert at times; "saving £7!". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.16.46.236 (talk • contribs) 15:43, 4 December 2006.

This page is pure advertising - take it off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.153.197.120 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 4 December 2006.
I agree with the above posts, this page feels a bit like a commercial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ocanica (talk • contribs) 23:47, 5 December 2006.
Yes, well I've added a piece about the dreadful customer service I've experienced, its terrible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.154.116.35 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 3 February 2007.
I too have experienced "dreadful" customer service regarding this product. This should definitely be added. --86.137.25.168 17:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


I don't see anything particularly objectionable in having a page about BT vision, but there are a number of aspects of the way it is presented that make it objectionable:

(1) the box and logo on the right look completely like advertising - I expected to go to the BT page if I clicked on them. In any case, the content of the box seems wrong - it looks as though it is trying to say what kind of business BT is in, but this is not what it contains - BT vision is not a separate company, and so the content just seems wrong.

(2) The entire content (of the rest of the article) should concentrate on the facts of what is currently available, or should state something like "the BT company states that the service is planned to offer...". As it is it is simply not factual - it is speculation.

(3) Complaints about customer service are not really a valid reason to remove the content. I might dislike the taste of sprouts, but that is not a reason to remove an article about them.

[edit] 'Costs' and 'Contents deals' sections

May I suggest simply removing the sections on 'Costs' and 'Contents deals'? The article will be better for it. Anyone wanting to know more can simply follow the link to the BT Vision website. --Malcolmxl5 00:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewriting this article from a neutral point of view

Given the comments about this article looking like an advertisement or a commercial and also the {{advert}} template, I'm going to be bold and try and rewrite this in a more objective, NPOV and veritable style in line with WP:SOAP. Give me two minutes... --Malcolmxl5 02:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

There, it's done. Any comments will be most welcomed. --Malcolmxl5 02:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BTVISIONLOGO.jpg

Image:BTVISIONLOGO.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.
