Music - Michael Nyman ?
The music sounds like a Michael Nyman score of the kind that accompanied Peter Greenaway films. Can someone who knows the Waybuloo composer please add details to the article? Andrew Oakley (talk) 17:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Number of episodes in Waybuloo
Hi. I have reverted a recent IP edit which removed/reversed correctly sourced information on this page - there are 100 episodes to the Waybuloo series, as stated by the show's creators at www.absolutelycuckoo.com - I know we only have 50 listed, but I will ask please that this information is not removed again. It is cited and verified. Thanks!  Barking Fish  Talk to me &#124; My contributions 02:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The website says that 100 episodes have been commisioned. It might be better to find a citation that actually lists all 100 episodes just to remove any ambiguity but either way the IP shouldn't be reverting your actions because at least you are providing a citation. Polyamorph (talk) 13:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Jdrewitt :) It is cited on the website that there are 100 episodes, not just the claim that they have been commissioned - I quote from the section "Our TV Stuff" - "We are the creators of Waybuloo, a 100-episode, landmark preschool show for the BBC, produced by Foundation/RDF. We have 11 totally bonkers kids TV shows currently in development." - I hope this helps, but I will contact Absolutely Cuckoo and see if they can provide a full episode list just to satisfy the IP :)  -- Barking Fish  Talk to me &#124; My contributions 15:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I did amend that reference to be a working link, but was almost put off doing so due to the scary "amend this in any way and be banned" message beside it. Looking at the comments above, I don't think I overstepped any mark, but figured I'd mention it so my action is understood. --Chillington (talk) 11:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

editprotected The Decode Entertainment reference in the lead needs fixing. Polyamorph (talk) 10:01, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You may have to be more specific before an admin will action your request. I assume you want to have the second reference to Decode Entertainment Homepage:
 * in Toronto (Canada).
 * replaced with a pointer to the first named reference:
 * in Toronto (Canada).
 * If not, please clarify your request. twilsonb (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry I was not very specific, I have fixed the code now the page is unprotected. Thanks Polyamorph (talk) 19:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Article has been unprotected - you may edit it yourself.  7  01:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have done so already, as stated in my previous post :) Polyamorph (talk) 12:39, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Fully protected?
Also, why is this page fully protected in the first place? I see there is some content dispute but really this is predominently an IP user removing cited information, so might be a case for semi-protection but full protection ? As far as I can tell no users have been warned or blocked for edit warring and I see no discussion (apart from above) regarding this content dispute. So why the full protection, seems a bit of an overeaction. Polyamorph (talk) 09:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Fully protected is MORE than I requested. All I asked for was Temporary Semi protection or for PC to be applied.  I didn't ask for full protection on the request, which you can see here.  Full protection is way too much.   Barking Fish  Talk to me &#124; My contributions 10:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Its rediculous, by persistently removing cited information the IP users edits are simply vandalism. There is no content dispute here. Sometimes persistent vandalism requires an article be semi-protected and this would have been the correct course of action in this case. Now I can see errors in the article but as a trusted user cannot edit the article because a sysop has misused their tools. Polyamorph (talk) 10:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You have a much better chance of having the protection reviewed if you request that the page is unprotected twilsonb (talk) 14:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Turns out the sysop just plainly made a mistake, none of us are perfect and I thank them for their quick reversion of their error. They also blocked the troublesome IP user. Polyamorph (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Waybuloo Series 2 is now live and airing
Hi. I just thought I'd leave this here and let those of you interested know that Waybuloo series 2, the subject of the disputes here previously, has gone live and is presently airing on the CBeebies channel on Sky, and I am now collecting a list of episodes in the second series to add to this article.  Barking Fish  23:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just stripped back the episode list a bit, as the whole of series 2 hasn't aired yet, and most of the ones on the list after about 15-20 seemed obvious vandalism. ("Coeliac Disease", anyone?) Hope this is OK. --Chillington (talk) 11:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's absolutely fine. I note that you did stop at the correct one, the last episode of S2 to air was number 20, Carrotbeet Day. I'm watching the episode schedules and iPlayer, and will add further ones as they are shown. Incidentally, as an afterthought, I'm going to apply for this page to be placed on Pending Changes so that we can stop problems like that appearing in the page.

Criticism
I was expecting to read here something about their seeming inability to speak in proper sentences, or use real words, which can't be good for impressionable toddlers who are trying to pick up sentence construction. Has anyone seen any (citable) complaints about this? --149.254.57.79 (talk) 13:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, this was previously added to the article but was uncited and hence removed. A quick google search doesn't really come up with much so either such complaints don't exist or they're just not reported. Polyamorph (talk) 13:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

It appears that there has been some biased editing concerning the criticism of Waybuloo. Previously this article showed Christian groups lodging their complaint. These criticism have been backed up with links to various articles. Right or wrong it is their belief however freedom of expression is required and not edited/deleted. Various groups have publicised their criticism of the show and CBeebies' has promptly responded however this section has been deleted. The complaint is public domain and should be noted encyclopaedic as an event that has happened with the following response and should not be deleted as it it reflected negatively towards the show. --Throttler (talk) 00:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Not at all, I removed the criticism section because the sources did not adhere to wikipedia policy WP:RS, they were self published. I haven't found such complaints in reliable secondary sources. Criticism sections are often added to articles but very rarely actually add anything of note and often fail our neutral point of view policy WP:NPOV. The fact that some religious groups have criticised this tv program on their own website is not noteworthy enough to include in this article.Polyamorph (talk) 08:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Series 2 episode list almost complete
Barring the absence of 4 episodes which haven't aired, and one without a title (as explained by the footnote on the episode list), most of that is now pretty much completed. I've updated the remainder from this list and will add that as a source to the article. If anyone knows what the titles of the missing episodes are, you're welcome to fill them in.
