BBC News[edit]

I think this is a very good article which should be given a showing as a featured article. Wikiwoohoo 16:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object. There are lots of problems:

  1. Missing references.
  2. Some sections are too short, there is not enough context.
  3. The BBC News logo image needs a fair use rationale.
  4. The 'History' section should be the first section.

Object - It is extremely short on information, see BBC's own History of BBC News and About BBC News. Some specifics:

  • History incomplete. Here it starts in 1993, on BBC News own history timeline: 1922
  • Hardly any information on current organization. Number of employees, organizational hierarchy, annual budget, etc, etc
  • Arbitrary lists. The "selection of" lists are vague: why these? are these random selections? With no background information.

There are more specific points, but just with the above, clearly the article needs a MAJOR amount of work... --Tsavage 03:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
