content take from the BBC Episode Guide
while looking over An Unearthly Child I noticed part of Myths has gotten directly cut and pasted from the BBC site. I didn't go to the trouble of looking over everything. still, I wanted everyone to know so as to look out for this in other articles.
unlike with Wikipedia (or this Wiki for that matter), the BBC haven't licensed their content for anyone to just make use of and grab. --Stardizzy2 00:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- The myths section does appear somewhat similar, but I think that the myths should have stayed in the article. The solution (rather than removing them) is to cite them correctly. As I think the information should still be in the article, but references from sources.
- I've actually grabbed a couple of reference books off the shelf, and found that it isn't really the BBC's information, it comes from The Television Companion by David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker (the copy I have is published in 1998). --Tangerineduel 06:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
