Talk:BBC Domesday Reloaded

Merge
Would this not be better as a section of the BBC Domesday Project article? Thryduulf (talk) 13:13, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Possibly, but I think it's a bit early to say. It was first suggested at Talk:BBC Domesday Project. Before it was created, a couple of articles were already linking to it, e.g. Maughold (parish). --Trevj (talk) 15:03, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as separate article, seems to pass the criteria at WP:WEB  Badgernet  ₪  15:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * My thoughts were not that it's not notable enough for coverage, but that there is so little content here that it would fit better with the article that gives all the background to it. If it is merged this title should definitely remain as a redirect to the section. Thryduulf (talk) 17:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Corrections
As I was involved in the both the original and reloaded projects I shouldn't correct these things myself but there are misconceptions in the following bit:

''BBC Learning worked with The National Archives to digitise the material.[8] The data was extracted to a PC compatible computer by communication with the BBC Master which hosted the original system. The transfer was facilitated by Simon Guerrero and Andy Finney, who were involved in the original project.''

The work on digitising the material was done for the National Archives (Public Record Office at the time) but not for the reloaded project, it was much earlier preservation work and BBC Learning were not involved in that, only BBC R&D (see www.domesday.org.uk). The National Archives were involved in online preservation of the Reloaded work incorporating it into the UK Government web archiving system.

Great though Simon's work was, he wasn't on the Domesday Project team in 1984-6 (although I was). I (Andy Finney) wasn't involved in the digital data transfer, just the audio-visual reclamation work. I think the reference does explain this, it's just been subbed incorrectly. Note that the attempt to digitise images from a disc and player wasn't of sufficient quality so reloaded used images from tapes that I supplied to them.

Also, eMoot did produce the table, so it's odd to describe it as 'reported', which implies something more vague.

Can an editor without a POV conflict sort this out please?

 * Thanks very much for these useful comments. Although WP:AVOIDCOI recommends avoiding editing, my understanding is that it's not explicitly prohibited. Therefore, I personally would assume good faith of edits you may wish to do here, provided that your conflict of interest is declared, unbiased sources are cited and no original research is included. As your points above are basically factual, if you have additional citations or wish to correct the paraphrased wording there should be no major problem in your doing so IMHO. (However, it may be worth waiting a reasonable amount of time before doing so in case other editors feel differently about your position.)
 * Anyway, an editor will probably get around to working on it at some point from the info you've posted here. Thanks again. -- Trevj (talk) 15:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
