According to www.talkbackthames.tv, the company's name is talkbackTHAMES, not TalkBackTHAMES. Therefore, this page should be moved to TalkbackTHAMES, which is the closest you can get on Wikipedia. — 81.132.3.232 21:05, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Companies House does not recognise strange orthography - http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/963a198b2992811e8e02c51c833b5397/compdetails or http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/963a198b2992811e8e02c51c833b5397/compdetails -- Beardo 06:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Just my POV, but I think Thames should have had precedence as the senior company. THAMEStalkback would have sounded so much better.

TalkbackThames's email? edit

Do they have a general inquiries email? Couldnt find one. Any help would be appreciated and would be good to include on the page.

Contested move request edit

From WP:RM:

The company's site refers to it as talkbackTHAMES[1] (not just the logo, in the text as well). The BBC also refer to the company as talkbackTHAMES[2]. I'm not necessarily opposing this, but at the very least the company name is only one word, so moved from uncontroversial. Masaruemoto 02:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Most major papers, including the Guardian and the Independent refer to it as "Talkback Thames". The IMDB also uses "Talkback Thames". The company would of course use its own idiosyncratic capitalization and spacing, but the manual of style recommends against reproducing that usage here. ptkfgs 04:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I can't see anything in WP:MOSTM specifying that "portmanteau" company names should be seperated. There are many examples of articles about major companies on Wikipedia that keep this style, such as HarperCollins, LookSmart, MediaNews Group, SportSouth, ReganBooks, OfficeMax, AutoNation, etc. TalkbackThames should probably be the article name.

Well, that would be an improvement as well. ptkfgs 02:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Seconded. A title that copies the case-formatting of a logo is directly against MoS:TM. --McGeddon 21:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo talkbackthames.gif edit

 

Image:Logo talkbackthames.gif 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.
