Over the Air page
Hi Matthew,

I've moved the Over the Air page to Over the Air (hack day) to follow Wikipedia's naming conventions. I first saw the article in today's deletion log: it is no longer under threat of deletion. There seem to be plenty of sources, so that's good.

There's a few problems with the article as it stands: it has an overly promotional tone, it doesn't have a lead section, it has bare URLs for references, doesn't have wikilinks and a few other minor things. I'll go through it with a scalpel later and fix the issues. But there's a slightly more major thing lurking here: are you still actively involved with running Over the Air? There's a potential conflict of interests issue here. As I told Ian Forrester with the BBC Backstage page, be very careful and above board with editing the page on Over the Air. You might want to read this section. If you've got any questions about this, feel free to ask.

Good luck with Over the Air this year (sadly, I won't be there). —Tom Morris (talk) 17:43, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
