[edit] Merge

I don't see the sense in there being a Channel 4 programming article and a List of Channel 4 television programmes. However, I prefer the broader scope and title of this article to the former. The act of merging (into this article) would also help give the material presently in this article the tidy-up it badly needed when it was a sub-section of Channel 4. -- Fursday 02:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Films

What should we do about Channel 4's history of Film-making and Film screening prior to Film4. I feel that the subject of Channel 4 Films and Film on Four ought to be in one place, but should that be here, the main Channel 4 article or the Film4 article, with appropriate links in any case. -- Fursday 02:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Considering the existence of Film on Four on Channel 4 before the launch of Film4, I was inclined place the Film on Four information within this article, but considering its involvement in films which were released in the Cinema (ie. Four Weddings and a Funeral (source and good reference for any work on Film on Four)), it may be better placed in the main Channel 4 article. --tgheretford (talk) 08:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List article

I've moved the article back to Channel 4 programming because it is not a purely list article. It also contains a lot of prose, most of it originating from Channel 4

This article was created from the merger of Channel 4 programming (prose content mostly lifted from Channel 4 when that got too big) and List of Channel 4 television programmes (a list article, now defunct)

We therefore have some options.

  • re-move it back to List of programmes broadcast by Channel 4 - and conveniently ignore the fact that the article isn't just a list.
  • de-merge the articles into a list article and programming article again.
  • put all the prose in this article back into Channel 4 leaving only list content here, naming appropriately (and find other ways to make Channel 4 not too big)
  • keep the article as a hybrid with some list content and some prose, perhaps ordered in a more appropriate way, and decide best how to name this.

Thoughts?

[edit] French Article

Right I have loads of French friends who have been introducing Channel 4 to their friends, but they want to know more on Wikipedia so I say us Brits use our good Channel 4 knowledge and an online translator and fix up the page. I mean I had to add a list of programmes, what's with that? Please help! The URL is www.fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_4 Please, please, please help!

It'd have to be done by somebody who is fluent in French. It would be a case of using a web-translator on the English article and going through the output to create something in correct French. -- Fursday 18:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
