[edit]

The quotes are not all Ben Dirs tales, they are sent in by BBC website users and he publishes the best ones, to attribute these tales to Ben is wrong.

please help find sources that confirm this, also please timestamp your contributions T.roome 21:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a list of quotations, please make this article more encyclopedic and assert some notability, as arguably it could meet criterion for speedy deletion A7. Please resolve this issue ASAP. – Chacor 08:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


The page should stick around, but if the quotes are too much, I just copied the content over to a wikiquote page. - Link. 81.98.104.69 12:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook references

[edit]

Is it really necessary for section about his facebook fan group? I'm very tempted to delete it.--Marhz 15:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gone. I think editors have to be ruthless with this sort of thing, otherwise every entry will start having sections sourced from trivial social network sites. --Marhz 19:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book

Name

[edit]

Is Ben Dirs a real person's name or some sort of pseudonym? It sounds a bit like "benders", which is English slang for a group of homosexual men - it's the sort of name you could imagine the BBC giving to a shared anonymous live text account as some sort of joke...86.163.170.187 (talk) 08:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The BBC is full of Ben Dirs!
