Fair use rationale for Image:BBCRadio1 logo.png

Image:BBCRadio1 logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Language

This article reads like prose and uses the term 'maybe'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.210.128.117 (talk) 10:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source

Where was it announced Tulip is to take over as main presenter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriskart (talk • contribs) 21:48, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...and why isn't she listed as a presenter/reporter? 129.12.53.28 (talk) 12:05, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

Perhaps a criticism section should be added, surely I can't be the only one who has ever caught Newsbeat and found it a complete insult to my inteligence. If consesus permits then perhaps such things could be substantiated and listed. Mtaylor848 (talk) 18:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-Then don't watch it! Seriously though, this is an encyclopedia, not a review column.129.12.53.28 (talk) 12:05, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking

Where is the explanation in this article for why Oddbox was ended? 85.170.165.237 (talk) 23:43, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Newsbeat is also the name of an app developed by the Tribune Corp. to gather news from hundreds of sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.112.184.20 (talk) 14:26, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
