Act Your Age
I was just wondering if you were Bill Matthews, the co-creator and co-producer of the show. If so, you should know that editing articles when there is a conflict of interest is discouraged. See Conflict of interest. ISD (talk) 09:28, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Ian Wolf of the BCG. You should know that there is a clear conflict of interest in your incessant plugging of the British Comedy Guide and quoting yourself. If you do not edit this page again and make it neutral (as I tried to do) instead of clearly biased against the show, then I shall report it and attempt to have it removed. The irony is that I, with a supposed conflict of interest, left it balanced and neutral. You - with a clear vested interest - wrote in a biased and prejudiced manner. I wrote that it passed most critics by. You, instead of leaving that, despite it being true, claimed it was panned by the critics. It only had two reviews! Incidentally, having recorded and edited four of the six shows of the second series, there is a huge improvement on the first series, which we weren't totally happy with ourselves (we had three double recordings, now we've had six singles). There are also a couple of new rounds. I hope that the BCG will listen to it with fresh ears, and reassess it, and not base criticism on one hackneyed Knock Knock joke which was said ironcially in the very first episode.


 * You can always it take up with the administrators if you are not happy. I will listen to the new series to see if there has been any improvement. See WP:ADMIN. ISD (talk) 14:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't want to get into a dispute with you, Ian, but how do you explain that you are the original author of the article on the British Comedy Guide? This is surely a huge conflict of interest. All I did was correct factual errors and try to make the article more balanced, less prejudiced against the show and less of a plug for your website.


 * I admit that there are problems. The problem is, apart from the BBC and the BCG, how many other definitive guides are there for Act Your Age? If there are others out there, then I'd happily use them as references. ISD (talk) 20:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
