I have made a few additions to the Anglia Television page. There is a list of noteworthy Anglia programmes, I have added a few more, and will improve this as Anglia was a considerable middle ranking ITV station and had a big input int the network. I really wanted to add something about how Anglia as a middle ranking company got into network drama, as this was quite a battle with the major compaies of the day, Granada (north weekdays), ATV (London weekends), Rediffusion(London Monday to Friday) and ABC Weekend (North and Midlands weekends)but not sure really where I could enter comments, can anyone help?

Is it possible t start a new section in the box to the top left of the screen?

I also wanted to say something about Anglia pioneering pre-school programmes in its' region with Romper Room, presented by Miss Rosselyn, and how later under the late but talented Paul Honeyman, in collaboration with Anglia Director of Music, Peter Fenn and the Illustrator, John Worsley, created A Christmas Carol and other children's programes, telling stories through use of pictures, words and music. They created a new type of programme, that in the 70's attracted millions.

I also wanted to say something about Anglia continuity announcers and how some were involved in network programmes from Anglia, and about Anglias once excellent and thorough on and off air weather service headed in the 60's and 70's by Michael Hunt. This information would enhance the article, but I cannot see how I can edit them as a newcomer, into the piece.

Can anyone help?

 * It's no problem at all, I fixed the Help desk already, and most mistakes and can be corrected fairly painlessly anyway :). Additionally I'd recommend you read How to edit a page for extra information, cheers! Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 19:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I'm not entirely sure what you're asking me about? Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 23:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Angliaman, I wouldn't encourage writing about an organization that you work with or own, as others have stated, there will probably be a conflict of interest. Please note that all articles need to be written in a neutral point of view, if you do decide to pursue this any further please read Wikipedia's guide to your first article beforehand. Below are some links that hopefully you'll find useful.

 * Your first article

Feedback on edits
Hi again, I looked through your contributions and I think you're doing fine. Your edits are appreciated. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 16:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Angliaman, nice to see that you're adding content to the encyclopedia. Seeing as how the level 2 header that you added was for both old and new productions I changed it slightly so that it now says "Notable BBC Birmingam productions". When adding information to articles you should be sure to cite a reliable source as it shows the information added is reliable as "Material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source". Apart from that, great! I would agree that you're getting on well, there is actually a program on Wikipedia called Adopt-A-User where experienced editors "adopt" and mentor new and inexperienced users. I'm not actually involved in the project myself but would you consider becoming an adoptee? I'd still be here of course if you ever changed your mind about adoption or if you just wanted an extra helping hand. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 21:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi again, don't worry nobody would be offended if you were to edit the heading, as nobody actually owns articles and the editors contributing to the page expect their work to be modified over time anyway, after all this is The encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In regards to adoption you can either add this to your user page -

 

And an Adopter will come and find you, or alternatively look through the list of Adopters who are actively seeking Adoptees, and drop one a line. Cheers David! Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 22:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Adoption accepted!

Your link question
Hello. I saw your question at the WP:NCHD. Your problem is probably that you used the syntax: [url], which produces [2] as a external link. That syntax is generally used when one's intention is to add a different display text in the link, for example, [url (Note space here) Text] produces Text as the display text. To have the plain URL as the link, simply type the plain URL, with no brackets. Be aware, however, of the potential of linkrot. For further information, see WP:EXT.

Thank you for your help. I have decided against adding the link, as there is already ple by me alink in he body of the artice to mediacity:uk, on wikedpedia which really verifieswhat I have added, without the need for an extra link at the bottom. This better fits sit policy and procedure, BUT I will soon add an appriate link elsewhere, as I need to learn how it is done. I will add a mssage to this effect, on WP:NCHD.

Adoption
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately now would be a bad time to adopt you due to personal issues that have caused me to put editing Wikipedia on the back burner (time constraints). I see however that you have been adopted by another editor and which you best of luck. Cheers  « l | Promethean ™ | l »   (talk) 09:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
