Ben Batambuze

Hi

Does anyone know what happened to Ben and why he doesn't appear after Series 2? George.millman (talk) 17:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the beginning of Series 3, it is stated that Ben went to boarding school. (Galaxycat (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Episode list

Has been deleted because, sorry, it was largely a straight cut & paste from the BBC website, and we can't do that here. It would be proper to find another source for the information, although I found little beyond the BBC itself. It would also be fine to write up each episode using {{cite episode}} as a source, as long as no personal interpretations appear and none of the BBC wording is used. Tiresome, I know, but it's a legal thing. If I had time, I'd do it myself, but I just don't. --Rodhull andemu 22:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milly

Milly Holly Gibbs 5 Likes to dress up, speaks only once on screen in the whole of her stay at the Dumping Ground. Best Friends with Marco.

Not quite correct, as she speaks when she's adopted with Marco, AND speaks in the episode when Tracy bangs her head and imagines a Dumping Ground where she's the head care worker and the staff are the kids. 86.133.5.171 (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dumping Ground

I began changing the term "dumping ground" to "children's home", but it pops up so often that I'm wondering whether or not to leave it. I know that's what they call it in the show, but this is an encyclopaedia article and the whole thing needs a jolly good clean-up. I've not watched many episodes and whilst I'm happy to edit for grammar, spelling and removing obviously irrelevant or dubious information, there's a lot that I'm unsure about touching. Advice?

Just a few follow-up thoughts. Is there a way to set this page so it is only editable by registered users? A lot of the vandalism and poor-quality editing seems to be coming from IP addresses rather than users. Secondly, the character summaries aren't really summarising all that well. I'm finding a lot of irrelevant and overly-detailed padding that belongs in episode summaries more than the character summaries. There's probably more to say, but I'll say it at a later date.Zelda199 (talk) 19:39, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have been trying to edit the page as well. I think that the character summaries need a bit of revising. Furthermore, I also think that if something significant occurs, such as Cam agreeing to foster Tracy, it likely does have a place in the character summary because it shows the ways in which a character develops and how the series progresses. Lastly, I do not know how to set a page so that it is only editable by those users who are registered. (Galaxycat (talk) 09:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Kids/ Teenagers

I have recently visited this page and it looks like the contributors have made a wonderful start. I was wondering, however, if anyone knows how the columns under the 'kids/teenagers' section could be made wider? At this point, the columns are quite thin, which makes it a little difficult to read. Perhaps this could be achieved if the whole chart could be lowered a bit; it appears that the information box at the right hand of the screen is currently getting in the way of the chart being expanded to the right. Thank you. (Galaxycat (talk) 09:51, 9 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Characters

Ermm maybe we can give the characters you know a different article like the one of Tracy Beaker Returns characters. Just a suggestion --Anna2123456789 (talk) 16:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
