Talk:Royal Variety Performance

To: WIKIPEDIA From: Giles Cooper – Chairman, Royal Variety Charity Monday 18th April 2016

Dear Sirs

It has been brought to my attention that there are a couple of issues with relation to pages on Wikipedia that highlight the work of our charity, the ‘Royal Variety Charity’ and our annual fundraising event the ‘Royal Variety Performance’. I have had a chance to review the pages and am more than happy to provide you with the following:

COPYRIGHT ISSUES I confirm that the Royal Variety Charity grants Wikipedia non-exclusive license under Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts), of all material on our website(s), namely: www.royalvarietycharity.org / www.royalvarietyperformance.org / www.brinsworthhouse.org . We also note that this content we have donated is subject to continuous editing by the Wikipedia community and may be added to, subtracted from, rearranged, illustrated, split into multiple articles, translated into other languages, and otherwise changed beyond our expectations.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST I understand that you are concerned that a user with the pseudonym, ‘rodeocowboy36’, is employed or has a close connection to the Royal Variety Charity. We have reviewed the user’s statement online and I can confirm that no such user exists in our Admin team, so their claim that they work for this charity, or are closely connected to us, in any kind of capacity, is entirely false. We are however quite a high profile charity in the UK, with thousands of supporters and I would suggest that someone is acting independently to try and improve the image and standing of our charity online, but they are most certainly doing it without our knowledge and are making false claims that they have a connection to us. I would add though, that having reviewed all of the content online, I don’t believe there to be any malicious intent and certainly no commercial motive as we are an entirely ‘not for profit charity’. For your information, all the content that exists on both the page ‘Royal Variety Charity’ and ‘Royal Variety Performance’ appears to be 100% accurate, but whether it is written in a style and structure that is appropriate to Wikipedia, is entirely a matter for you to evaluate. It is, however, most definitely done from a neutral stand-point.

Should you require and further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Yours faithfully,

Giles Cooper Chairman, Royal Variety Charity and Executive Producer of the Royal Variety Performance

The website states this years date as the 9th? --Camaeron 17:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One must remember that LWT provided weekend programming to London as early as 1968.71.222.116.50 (talk) 02:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For a number of years in the 70s, the Royal Variety Performance, despite being filmed in London, was an ATV production, rather than Thames or LWT. Could this be that ATV used to have the London weekend franchise and it had something to do with Bernard Delfont for many years.

I believe Bernard Delfont was Lew Grade's brother or something.

Missing years

How come some years are missing, such as 1977?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 13:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
