[edit] To be added:
Scott mills is a loveable chap and holds host to possibly the best show on the radio well done scott Wikipedia would like to reward such dedication and devotion with Wikipedia gold award. Please note no actual gold will be given!
As a youth, Scott styled his hair in a similar fashion to Philip Schofield, a children's television celebrity. He dislikes musical theatre.

[edit] Er, yeah..
Scott Mills was vandalising this himself earlier, or so I'm told. I believe that's why it's locked. Hedley 23:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
On the 18th January 2006 Scott invited his Radio 1 listeners to edit/add to his entry on wikipedia.org, leading to a torrent of abuse such as 'Scott you scrotum bag' and 'Chappers is so called cos his anal lips are prone to chapping...' on his and other related DJ's pages. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IP user (talk • contribs).
- I readded this - Don't see why it was removed. It's valid. Hedley 23:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
And he hates musicals too. datsa bit random!
Dear Mr Mills, Vandalising your wikipedia page and encouraging others to do the same. Forgivable when you're in High School, if you still find it amusing when you're 31, you probably need to take a look at what you're doing with your life. -- GWO
Dear Mr Owen, Writing letters to DJs on a Wikipedia talk page. Forgivable if you're mentally deficient, but if you still find it amusing when you're sane, you probably need to take a look at what you're doing with your life. -- 84.9.137.167 16:35, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Funny. But don't worry, I also wrote a politely worded official letter of complaint. -- GWO
- Now, now, play nicely Robdurbar 17:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it is interesting to note that, overall, this indcident has lead to an improvment to this article, and indeed to one or two of the other radio 1 dj pages.... possibly a vindication of Wikipedia's philosphy that the more people who come to the site, the better it gets... Robdurbar 17:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
exactly...its makin it alot more...intrestin!
-
-
- It also raises the question: is every radio 1 dj notable? Do they each need thier own page, do we care that "Scott often fills in for Chris Moyles when Chris is away on holiday." ? Regards, Ben Aveling 22:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- If wikipedia were limited to things I cared about, it would be a hell of a lot smaller. And less useful. -- GWO
- No doubt. But would it be less useful were we to reduce this article to only the encyclopedic bits? Regards, Ben Aveling 12:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC).

The official complaint by Wikipedia to the BBC can be found here. WilliRennen 14:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC).
[edit] hahaha nice 1 scott!
Scott Mills Is fit .
Go scott lol!!!!
- I'll give Mills credit for this, he's really hitting that key Radio One demographic -- the cretinous adolescent. -- GWO
-
- Isn't that the wikipedia demographic? 86.10.110.234 10:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
haha nice 1 scott!
scott is MINT!!!!!
yer es ace! uytkut —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.26.244.130 (talk • contribs).
I love you...
[edit] Irony
It is ironic that 90% of the vandalism that Mills encouraged people to put in this article has been deeply homophobic in nature. Still, encourage people's worst nature, and you shouldn't be surprised with what you get. -- GWO
[edit] Merge from The Scott Mills Show
I don't think The Scott Mills Show needs an existence outside of Scott Mills. Neither has any fame that distinguishes it from the other. This should become a subsection of the Mills article. GWO
- Agreed Robdurbar 17:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- Disagree as when Scott does other shows he is covering, eg its the "Chris Moyles show with Scott Mills" when he fills in on Breakfast. BBC R1 is marketing that slot be it drive or breakfast as the XYZ show. Similarly when Zane Low goes back to NZ for his 3 week annual break it's "The Zane Low show with Steve Lamack and Annie Mac" or "The Zane Low show Annie Mac and Hugh Stevens" --Pickle 16:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well yes, but we can cover both in one article. The Scott Mills Show is, in essence, a subset of Scott Mills. -- GWO

- Oh, you lot just hate Scott after he told his viewers to vandalise your beloved wikipedia!
- Does his radio show get a lot of viewers then.....? ChrisTheDude 14:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Personally I quite enjoy the show, though he's no Chris Moyles... but I've merged given the genereal lack of contention. Robdurbar 14:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Catch-phrases
Perhaps a mention of his catch phrases such as a) Good Morning! b) It's only bloody Friday should be mentioned?, especially the origins of a) Pickle 16:03, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] unoffical mills
I think the unofficial mills has gotten a little overlong. Could it be trimmed to a sentance in the external links section, just to give people a feel for what it is without going into the details? Ben Aveling 19:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Given that the section was created by User:Unofficialmills, I think we can safely remove most of it as violating Wikipedia:Autobiography. Deserved of a sentence at most. Robdurbar 21:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
This is why I listen to Radio 2 now, at the tender age of 23. pomegranate 10:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] awright treacle
why does he say awrigth treacle?
[edit] Eh?
In reference to the notice at the top of this talk page:
"Although the subject of this article, Scott Mills, is not known to have directly edited Wikipedia himself, he encouraged BBC Radio 1 listeners on January 18, 2006 to edit and vandalise this article. This should be taken into consideration when new information is added."
What part of it should be taken into consideration, and what should be considered about it?
Should I consider refraining from adding information out of contempt for Scott Mills because he had a moment of mischief? Or should I consider adding information about him encouraging his listeners to edit the page?
What, exactly is meant by this notice? IanUK 15:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit]
Should it mentioned that scott is openly gay?
- Have a read again, it is mentioned -Coolmark18 20:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyrighted material?
It seems some of the information is blatant copy and paste from the biography on www.unofficialmills.co.uk - might need to change that before they notice —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.142.234.36 (talk) 18:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
-
- I based the information I added from that page but I edited it to speak in my own way. I would not say it is copyright. Wrcmills 21:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism
whoever keeps vandalising this page needs to get a life and stop bullying someone through a website. Get a life and stop being so jealous you freaks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.194.250.200 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Homosexuality
I was going to remove it as it's not really important... what do you think? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bladeofgrass (talk • contribs) 04:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC). I'm going to say it's not notable enough Bladeofgrass 08:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Could Scott's friendship/enmity with Jo Whiley and its history get a mention?
- Do you have a source? Bladeofgrass 00:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
