[edit] Copy edit & thumbnail

I've tried to knock the page into shape but can someone sort out why that thumbnail isn't scaling down correctly? Davidbod 21:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last paragraph

I've tidied up some of the minor errors, but I'm not sure if I approve of the last paragraph, as it is clearly more opinion than fact.

Agreed, removed. Davidbod 00:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Wikipedian

Think User:benpbway was my PR company - any questions just shout! --Benway1980 18:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of interest

Dear Ben, It's great you want to contribute to wikipedia but please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography, the latter of which states: "It is difficult to write neutrally about yourself. Therefore, it is considered proper on Wikipedia to let others do the writing."

Therefore, please stop adding content to this article but instead follow wikipedia's policy of: "Instead, contribute material or make suggestions on the article's talk page and let independent editors write it into the article itself."

Thanks.--J2thawiki 18:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ah yes

Thanks J2thawiki will delete entry - just was updating on latest project - thanks for the heads up.

[edit] Black Eye

How did Ben get the black eye during the filming of Secret Millionaire? I heard that he was mugged on his way home the first day of filming but there is no mention of it in the article?

[edit] Black Eye Truth

Actually the black eye came from a massive part of my experience which was never shown(due to time constraints I believe) which was not only was I volunteering and living in Hackney but I also had a Job in a breakers yard called FirstFruit to earn my money to live on minimum wage. One hot day me and the guys at the yard went swimming in the Thames and my manager Chris who is a big burley but very nice guy, he is also a prankster so I heard him come swimming behind me to dunk me as I turned round his watch smashed into my eye cutting it and making it black. So I was never attacked, though there were many other quite scary moments.

[edit] miomi

Hi

I don't want to create an account, so can't create new articles. Irrespsective of whether this Ben Way chap is notable, one of the projects he has apparently been working on, miomi (previously "designthetime"), certainly appears to meet notability guidelines - run a quick google search and you can find out about the heavy funding from Microsoft and quite a few other bits and pieces in various reliable sources. If someone could create the article, I'm happy to do most of the work. 82.211.95.178 11:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
