Ben Mitchell section[edit]

@Soaper1234: - Pinging article creator. An IP address recently copy and pasted the section I wrote about Ben and Callum into this article. The issue I would have is that I wrote the section for Ben's article so there are likely points missed. Not sure if you have a plan already?Rain the 1 12:36, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Raintheone: Thanks for pointing this out to me! I was planning on updating the article anyway with more bits on Stuart and Whitney and then Ben, so is it easy to undo the edit and then hang on until a Callum-version of the section is actually created?

@Raintheone and Soaper1234: Remove/undo it per WP:COPYWITHIN. The IP provided no attribution. - JuneGloom07 Talk 13:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Soaper1234:@JuneGloom07: - I removed it. Soaper I am sure you will do it better and more focused on Callum since this article is already good.Rain the 1 16:38, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Raintheone: Thank you, that's very kind. It's on my *very* long to-do list, but I may just have to bump it up! Soaper1234 - talk 19:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Callum or Halfway[edit]

Is it worth changing the article name to ‘Callum Highway’ instead of ‘Halfway’ at this point? There’s been a big shift this year to him being known as Callum. Mick is now the only character to my knowledge who still refers to him primarily as Halfway. All articles on the internet now refer to him as Callum. His highly popular pairing with Ben is known by the portmanteau ‘Ballum’.

I just wondered if this is something worth considering? Tomski12 (talk) 00:28, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've been thinking about this. Well, other characters call him Halfway but most seem to call him Callum now as does the media (not just Internet). If this were to be moved, I think I'd possibly prefer Callum "Halfway" Highway. — 🌼📽️Anemone Projectors💬 07:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would 100% support a change to Callum "Halfway" Highway. Not only is this his credited name, this is a nice reflection on his whole tenure on the show as well as how he is now referenced in the press. Soaper1234 - talk 11:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I think a name change would be a good thing. Tomski12 (talk) 14:45, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I really think the article move was a good thing. I did not notice this discussion, but if I had I would have suggested Callum "Halfway" Highway too.Rain the 1 08:35, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Callum "Halfway" Highway → Callum Highway – With all due respect, he hasn't been called "Halfway" in a long time. He is no longer credited as such and most news sources published within the last few years just call him Callum Highway. The show itself acknowledged that nobody really calls him Halfway anymore so I was just wondering if it was time for a move. Thanks! FishLoveHam (talk) 08:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Comment The current title violates WP:NICKNAME. No opinion on the proposed title, since I'm not an expert on the subject, but some kind of move should happen here. 162 etc. (talk) 20:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
