[edit] Arthur fforde / Aurthur Fforde

Hi Pit-yacker, User:Miami Vice sent me a message explaining that traditionally surnames starting with ff should not be capitalized because ff is the same as capital F. According to him that was the tradition "back in the day". I'm not sure of the Wikipedia policy on this so I'm not going to do anything about it. Perhaps you can contact this user and get some clarification since he is the original author of the Arthur fforde article and has expressed concern about the capitalization.[1] Thank you. --ElectricEye (talk) 21:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted the article back and contacted Miami Vice about this. Not sure on Wikipedia policy either (if there is one). However, my own opinion is that it should be at the correct spelling. I have also left a note on the talk page, so hopefully no one else will incorrectly move it.

As far as I can tell, the relevant articles would appear to be Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) and Wikipedia:Naming_conventions. Giving a quick scan, neither seem to give any consideration to this case. Naming conventions does however, state that what the article states are conventions and not hard rules. In which case, IMHO, we should err on the side of correctness. Pit-yacker 23:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to have been so split-hairingly specific about all this surname business but thank you for amending the article. It's not really an issue that my ancestor would turn in his grave for, but I appreciate it.

[edit] BBC World Service

You are not here to defend the BBC. This is not a Political forum, If you are a varnish man for the BBC then wikipedia is not the place for you- The BBC is a fully funded organization of the British Government - Ministers have justified funding for the BBC because it projects the British point of view and British Foreign policy. Do you think the British government funds the BBC for Charitable reasons? If you think so you must be daft. The article is factual – If you have any disagreements be more specific, so that we may understand your logic of using the revert button to destroy a good article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.170.35.181 (talk • contribs) 2006-10-19.
