Quiz Night Live[edit]

Shouldn't QNL have its own page instead of taking up all of Ftn's? In my opinion it should have its own seperate article with more information. I don't see how an endemol produced quiz show with complaints to Ofcom has got anything to do with Ftn, as they do not run the programme. It should be breifly mentioned on the Ftn article with links to its own page. -- QC06 14:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with this. Quiz Night Live needs its own article! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.108.157.108 (talk) 11:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually disagree with this. The only reliable source on a Google search brings up www.quiznightlive.com which redirects to... the Ftn website! All other links are to forums. Although the programme is made by Endemol for Ftn, it is made for Ftn exclusively. To be honest, if it was created into an article, it wouldn't get beyond a stub and would be unlikely to pass WP:VERIFY and WP:N, meaning it would end up being a good candidate for AfD. I say keep things as they are at the moment. If a major event occured where Quiz Night Live was specifically in the news spotlight (like Big Game TV! was when it was raided by the fraud squad), then it should be given its own article. --tgheretford (talk) 12:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

QuizLive - what the..?[edit]

What is this QuizLive programme that keeps being placed into the article? A search on Google brings up nothing relevant to Ftn and the schedules for Ftn on the Radio Times website shows that Quiz Night Live broadcasts on a Saturday night, this stuff really needs deleting with a rocket launcher! --tgheretford (talk) 12:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, as it is considered a hoax and vandalism with no chance of it ever being verified, I'll treat it as vandalism as per guidelines and revert it. --tgheretford (talk) 12:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The section keeps being added, rather than end up in an edit war, is there anyway that I can deal with this untrue information consistenly being placed into the article? --tgheretford (talk) 18:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to revert the last change regardless, but no doubt this hoax will just keep being added back again and again --tgheretford (talk) 19:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

QuizLive is mentioned on the Ftn article on answers.com

Answers.com rips half of its content from Wikipedia. - Lee Stanley 18:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection[edit]

Due to persistent hoax vandalism from a variable IP address this page is semi-protected. Durova 20:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an ad...[edit]

Ftn mixes gritty reality, celebrity gossip, full on talk, hard hitting drama, and real life fly on the wall documentaries, although its most well-known shows are a selection of Most Haunted, Street Crime UK, The L Word and The Crystal Maze.

Is this paragraph necessary? Aside from the fact that it reads like an advert, all it seems to be doing is adding a few bytes to the article. Delete or rewrite? Rubberkeith 16:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ftn claims to "mix gritty reality, celebrity gossip, full on talk, hard hitting drama, and real life fly on the wall documentaries", although its most well-known shows are a selection of Most Haunted, Street Crime UK, The L Word and The Crystal Maze.

Its just a direct quote from the Flextech website, just needs editing like the above /Marbles 16:24, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite time[edit]

I think this article needs an expansion and a rewrite, anyone wanna help me? ViperSnake151 20:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to find anything to expand the article is something of a struggle, I think there is more in this article than I can find via Google! One thing I do need to say, as it goes against WP:NOT#IINFO and WP:NOT#DIR, the programme list needs to be converted to prose or be removed. --tgheretford (talk) 20:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
