I was thinking that Calendar has not got a page for itself so I was wondering if anyone could make one. London UK

[edit] Shotgun marriage?

What makes the merger a shotgun marriage? garik 13:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't by choice of either party, it was forced upon them by the "father", in this case Lord Hill of the ITA. ➨ ЯEDVERS 13:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

I added a citation; is it an appropriate one? To be fair the thread I quoted also talks about the alleged BBC bias but it illustrates the points.

I added a link to a 28 year-old clip that I thought was of genuine historical interest that was deleted by Redvers. As far as I am aware copyright is not an issue with such presentation and continuity clips used for non-commercial educational purposes. TV-Ark and other sites contain many such clips which is considered "fair use" and doesn't incur any legal problems.

I will not bother contributing the subject any further if Redvers is going to delete contributions without good reason. :(

You might like to read Wikipedia:External links. Specifically, TV Ark and the rest are using clips under fair-use provisions. YouTube is not; the material has no fair-use rationale, so is a copyright violation; therefore we cannot link to it. Whilst the argument that it is linked here for "non-commercial educational purposes" is very attractive, you have to remember that Wikipedia is freely licenced, and our material is often re-used in commercial, non-educational formats (see answers.com for a convenient example). I'm sorry you feel personally offended by this removal, but I'm afraid I have Wikipedia rules on my side on this. Nevertheless, don't let that put you off!

[edit] Picture of Studios

	It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality. Wikipedians in West Yorkshire may be able to help!
	The Free Image Search Tool (FIST) may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites.

With the expansion of the article to include a section on the studios of YTV couldn't we do with a picture of the entrance to the complex from Kirkstall Road perhaps? --Wrh1973 18:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Startup Tunes - Similar?

Have taken out the description of the second startup tune ("Yorkshire Theme") as "very similar". The first tune is a military-style march, while the second is a much more contemporary (for the time) piece of music, which shares very little musically with its predecessor.

Might also be worth adding that a part of the "Yorkshire Theme" was used as the theme for Calendar for many years?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Yorkshire-1999.jpg

Image:Yorkshire-1999.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] "Yorkshire Television Limited ceased to trade"

As Yorkshire Television Ltd is still the franchise holder for ITV in Yorkshire [1], isn't the wording "Yorkshire Television Limited ceased to trade" a bit misleading? Would it be better just to end the third paragraph at the word "respectively" Dupont Circle (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
