BFI[edit]

Perhaps.
In my, admittedly limited, dealings with the BFI, I found them to be rather lily-livered.
I was a big wheel at the IMDb a decade ago where I established some of their conventions.
IMDb standards are very strict, but it is dependent on the context. To make certain changes, the IMDb data manager needs to know your reputation as a researcher personally.
What makes BFI standards so good? Who is providing that data?
Since there is a known discrepancy with the IMDb, as indicated, then that article should be more explicit in its sourcing than it is at present.
And my greatest interest was, Is this Prebble Prebble or not? But you've deleted that part.

My biggest beef with the BFI:
Welsh POV pushers assert that films made in England or Scotland are "British", but films made in Wales are "Welsh" and not British, and then cite the BFI.
At the IMDb, British is British is British. The IMDb does not humour Welsh nationalists.
So much for the theoretical reliability of the BFI.

I've no idea what your bizarre rants about the BFI are supposed to prove. It is a reliable source. Take it to the relevant board if you doubt that. Of course all reliable sources occasionally make mistakes, but that's neither here nor there, since there is no reason to believe any mistake has been made. There is no point arbitrarily sticking citation needed tags in the middle of a table. It's arbitary to pick out the writers rather than any other aspect of the content. The table itself is merely a summary of what the BFI site says and there is no reason to doubt it, especially as, contrary to your untruths, the IMDb says exactly the same thing. Click on the episode list: [1]. So, please go and read your own sources properly before making a mess. Paul B (talk) 17:01, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
