[edit] Accents

Now I've only seen the UK version of this show, and the present day characters have English rather than American accents. The accents are pretty unbelievable because the context makes it clear that present day is in the USA or Canada rather than southern England. Does anyone know why and by whom this stupid thing was done? Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 04:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Probably for the same reason that what is an Irish/Irish American show was dubbed into Scottish Gaelic... Is it just me, or do some of the "rural" Irish accents sound a bit Irish American? I'm not to sure about the accent in the theme tune, either... Paul-b4 12:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit tagging explained

It is unofortune that I do not have the page watched or eles it would have been easier for me to determine where it all went wrong.

This artilce is in major need of editing to adress the suspicious tone used in several sections such as "More about the show", "Piggley Winks", and "Series Goals" which all sound like a FAQs section of the broadcasters homepage. Then of course there is also the matter of the formatting and shuffling content that it all falls inline with wikipedias guide to formating television program articles.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to perform such edits currently and hope that other major editors will do so. Eventually, I can but I will make some drastic changes to the article.--Kevin586 17:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I had already decided that it needed something: there was too much detail, largely pasted from promotional websites. I hope it is a bit better now, but I'm stillnot sure about having a full episode listing. Kevin McE 18:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jakers.jpg

Image:Jakers.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piggly's daughter's name

Is there a source for Kira rather than Ciara: the latter would certainly seem a more common spelling for a name to be given by an Irishman of Piggly's supposed generation. Kevin McE 09:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
