[edit] Dame Sally Markham
Who in the wide world of Internet users vandalised the "Dame Sally Markham" section!? It was a brilliant section with the adequate detail for the character, then some stupid moron thought it was funny to vandalise the page. That was, in my opinion, a very stupid thing to do, and I hope that the person who did it owns up, because it's taking ages for the regular visitors to fix their damage.

[edit] Catchphrase
A catchphrase is the kind of thing which people hear a character saying and then use as a reference to this character. For example, Vicky Pollard's "Yeah but no but" is a catchphrase whereas "Dying man"'s "Not long now!" hardly counts as a catchphrase. Hence, I'm starting to weed some of these out.

- As far as I'm concerned, the only difference is the number of times the phrase is repeated. Vicky Pollard says her "Yeah but no but" every time, while the dying man only has one scene so indeed his quotes can hardly be called catch phrases. However, there are characters with much less screentime than Vicky, who still have some sort of a catchphrase, such as "Call me Bubbles darlin, everyone does." Keep that in mind when your weeding out. (RagingR2 22:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC))
"The Series 1 DVD contains a deleted scene showing Des visiting a children's hospital and accidentally unplugging a patient's life support machine while trying to play some cheerful music on a tape recorder. It does not take much to work out why this sketch was cut."
- Doesn't it? There are sketches on many other potentially far more offensive things.....--Deglr6328 05:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About my change
Today, I changed this page quite a bit (see here). I think this page is much more useful in alphabetical order (before, in was sorted by Series and then by major/minor character.) Also,
- Since Wikipedia isn’t the encyclopedia about everything, I deleted many minor characters. My cut-off was characters who appear in only one episode, or only in the deleted scenes.
- I didn’t have time to read much of the content. I did a lot of copy/pasting to get stuff in alphabetical order. For that reason I kept the {{tone}} tag. I did, however, try to delete any unverified claims.
If you have any comments, let me know. • Supāsaru 21:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mrmann.jpg
Image:Mrmann.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Deleted Characters
Why did you delete the list of deleted characters? There was no problem with it so what was the point? I think you should bring it back asap! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snailsarefriends (talk • contribs) 09:58, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- When I re-did this page, I decided that a character had to appear on at least two episodes to be included here. Wikipedia is not a list of everything, so I had to cut some people out. Deleted scenes are, in my mind, not actual episodes and do not count towards my "two-episode minimum." • Supāsaru 02:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Well why is it you who gets to decide? What makes you the special one? Maybe in your mind deleted scenes don't matter but they do to others! And also, some characters are in the deleted scenes more than twice - so doesn't that count for your "two-episode minimum?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snailsarefriends (talk • contribs) 15:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia of things that are notable. The characters found in the "canon" episodes (if one could call them "canon" episodes) have established catch-phrases and personalities and most are well-known to people in the UK and other parts of world. I don't consider deleted scenes to be canon and these characters are known only to those who own the DVDs.
- Also, Wikipedia is about being bold and taking initiative. It's not that I have any special privileges. I made changes that I felt were needed to keep this article within Wikipedia's guidelines. • Supāsaru 20:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't care about Cannons or whatever, it's not just me who thinks that somebody should bring them back, alot of others do to you know! And I don't think you have any right to delete the section anyway.snailsarefriends 10:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dafydd?
Is the character's name really spelt 'Daffyd'? This would be pronounced "Daffid", whereas the name is pronounced "Davvith", which is normally (and properly) written 'Dafydd'. Salopian (talk) 09:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't speak Welsh, myself, so I can't confirm pronunciation, but two Little Britain websites use this spelling. Plus, the creators of the show probably changed the spelling so that it was close but not identical to the real Dafydd Thomas. • Supāsaru 20:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
