I entered an event under 2007 and it was removed. It was not a link to a personal page but a link to a giving page. This may not have been _the_ BBC giving page but it is a site sanctioned by them for giving to the 2007 appeal. The event was indicative of the type of events happening all around the country to raise money for this appeal. As such I have countermanded the reversion by User:Shanes. It would have been polite to at least add a talk entry to discuss whether such events were allowed. Examples of a class of event are used in many places ... indeed CiN itself is just an example of the class of telethon events. Pbhj 11:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
This is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia exists not to promote Children in Need, despite it being a worthy cause. The examples quoted were irrelevant and of no value to the article Paul210 07:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
They're gonna smash last years total... Pedgeth (talk) 01:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I think there's something missing here... I can't find any mention of Celebrity Scissorhands in the 2007 section! ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 01:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Anyone know anything about "The Songbirds"? Pedgeth (talk) 01:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Should there be a bit more about Pudsey Bear on this page like history and origins. After all this site does redirect from Pudsey Bear. If not should the sites be unconnected? --Jonwood1 15:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Well done everyone, especially Peteb16 for keeping the 2006 event up to date :) Pedgeth 2:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Nice to see Peteb16 back :) -- Pedgeth (talk) 21:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Phew! a break during the news and a decent line up for QI -- Pedgeth (talk) 22:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Should we include the upcomg repeats of the dragons den and doctor who segments?Pedgeth (talk) 00:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Well Done Guys, I think we got everything. See you next year Pedgeth (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Should, after tonight's event, consideration given to separating the pages in to their respective years. That way the CIN master page just contains the premise of the show, with links to each year. Only the current year being filled in, then moved after the event? PS Great page to who is doing it. --Whoosher (talk) 15:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
There seemed to be a large concensus for splitting the articles... so I have. I hope this is okay. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 14:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
The line (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Children_in_Need&diff=171994422&oldid=171993766) was quite insignificant
Is this section really relivant? Larklight (talk) 18:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
The controversy section is relevant and properly referenced and is now properly reinstated.This story made the national press and provoked much discussion. Paul210 (talk) 22:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
In its current form, it looks somewhat POV to me. Most notably, the bit that reads "While Wogan's fee has been paid from BBC resources and not from the Children in Need charity fund, there is no record of Wogan ever having repaid any of these fees." That he never gave back what he'd been paid does not appear to be relevant. Did he promise to, and then fail to follow through? Was he asked to, and refused? If so, please source. It is not Wikipedia's place to say that he ought or ought not to have. While this wording may on the surface be a simple statement of fact, the wording appears to imply, by my reading of them at least, that there is something wrong with him having not done so. I am, as such, going to do a bit of re-write for NPOVing purposes. --Icarus (Hi!) 05:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
There is such detail on this apparent 'controversy' and I can hardly see anything on what value the 30+ million (in one year!) gave to children charities. Always easier to destroy than to create... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Someblokeintheuk (talk • contribs) 21:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Removed line "Children in Need were also criticized for giving some of the money donated by viewers to help the children of the Apprentice Boys of Derry parade". There is no reference cited. The Apprentice Boys secretary is unaware of any controversy relating to CiN, also unaware of who "children of the Apprentice Boys of Derry parade" are given that there is no youth section of their organisation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottr85 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I propose all the performance details should now be removed from the 2007 segment. The show has been and gone. The amount raised is recorded. The rest is clutter in what should be a concise article Paul210 (talk) 12:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
This article now looks rather awkward and cumbersome with all the unecessary 2007 show info taking up a disproportionate amount of space. If this info has to remain,can it not be condensed down to several lines? The same goes for the 2006 info still hanging around. Paul210 (talk) 10:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Where are the ratings for this years show? As well as ratings for 2004- some are missing as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
A women in the Uk had changed her name to Pudsey(after the bear) and was denied a renewal passport becuase of this name change. Should be mentioned somewhere. --Cooly123 (talk) 22:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
How about for the 2009 appeal, they perform a number of Michael Jackson, U2 or Elton John songs??? --Cooly123 (talk) 00:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
How can one receive tickets to the show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Should it be noted that Shirley Bassey is a tax exile? Readers may wish to be aware that British "celebrities" avoid paying for British children in need.
How much do celebrities get paid for doing performances for this so-called charity? I know that presenter Terry Wogan gets paid a healthy sum for presenting the show. Surely, more money could be raised for charity if less was rased for the pockets of the celebs? Maybe if more money actually went to Children who are in need, there would be less work for children in need to do!--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Don%27t_look_back_in_anger 16:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Don't look back in anger (talk • contribs)
Hi, i'm new to the site and therefore can't edit the page but could someone update the official singles, as the 2010 single has been confirmed today as Love You More by JLS. Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DoctorMaster2010 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
This has supposedly change again.--Cooly123 01:36, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
What year did this occur? I cant find this anywhere, I believe it was 2004.--Cooly123 01:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
What about introducing a table along the lines of this to show the dates of each years event, amounts raised where known and the various presenters. The table could then link to the article for the relevant year so that it doesn't drag on and on with the "recent events" section each year. Seedybob2 (talk) 23:36, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
This is what I've got so far (and a reference)
