Hello, Jenny. I add a very warm welcome to Alai's above. I noticed that you are quoting yourself as the source of the information about the existence of the archive recording of Flanders and Swann. I have no doubt that you are the Jenny Day referred to, and that you speak with authority on the matter! However, while not disputing the existence of the recording, nor your analysis of the possible copyright problems with it, is there a published source for this information - a newspaper or magazine article, for instance (even one written by yourself)? Otherwise it is not verifiable (please see the project page about verifiability), and Wikipedia tries hard not to include unverifiable information. While it is obvious that there are articles on Wikipedia which are not yet entirely verifiable, it is a long-term goal that they should all be so!

You feel strongly that this information is important, you understand why (and how) the verifiability policy works on Wikipedia, and you have a wish not to upset anyone. You sound like an absolutely ideal Wikipedian, and are more welcome than ever! You cannot imagine how delighted I am that there really exists a video recording of At the Drop of Another Hat! So, where does this leave us? Are you certain that the existence of the tape isn't mentioned in a publication? If it really isn't, I think I see a way through it: e-mail me (use the "E-mail this user" link on my user or talk page) any details you know about the recording, and provide convincing evidence for Wikipedia that you were indeed Technical Supervisor at BBC Film & Vt Library from 1993 to 1996; I will then see if I can use that evidence to add the information to the article myself, with a reference "personal communication". I will obviously keep any personal info (like your email address) in the email private. How does that sound? "Personal communication" is a reasonable reference; I know of other articles where this has worked. --RobertG ♬ talk 12:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
