Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom
Hi, just letting you know that when you made this edit you overlooked to update the sources. The cited source was still the article from before the event merely saying that the CFS is scheduled to open on 18 May - as such, we needed a new source to confirm that it has actually gone according to plan. I've found one and put it in now, so this is just for future reference. — Smjg (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Timeline of ITN
I've just created a timeline of ITN and chose not to include not to include any personnel changes nor changes to on-air presentation. I'm also considering doing a timeline for BBC News but am not sure whether to create separate timelines for TV and radio or whether to create a single timeline. Rillington (talk) 17:03, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Good work, I agree with the comings and goings but wonder if it would be worth making an exception for events like the first female presenter, which would have been an important milestone at the time. I'll leave it up to you though. With the BBC News one I guess it would work either way, although I don't know how much radio information is available from way back. This is Paul (talk) 21:44, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Timeline of BBC Television News now created. Rillington (talk) 15:39, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Great work again, I'll add the assessment templates to the talk page. This is Paul (talk) 16:18, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm currently in the process of creating a timeline for BBC Radio News. Rillington (talk) 17:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Further timelines
I've now created a timeline of ITV Digital Channels and am putting together a timeline for the BBC News Channel although I won't include personnel changes. I'm also considering doing a timeline for BBC Parliament. Rillington (talk) 17:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

- Thank you. Timeline of BBC Parliament now created. Can you think of any other similar timelines which could be created? Rillington (talk) 12:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Timelines
I've almost finished the BBC Radio News timeline and was wondering if you can think of any other similar timelines that we could create. Rillington (talk) 15:41, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- I suppose a timeline of printed media might be worth a go (national newspapers for example), but I'll see what I can think of. This is Paul (talk) 16:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- That would make a good timeline but I was thinking of television or radio timelines. Rillington (talk) 14:59, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
