The Ballers Show
editSorry for not getting back; I missed your first message. Basically the article was written like a press release (and a very bad one at that - it was very informal, not at all in the style one would expect of an encyclopedia article), by using phrases like "much talked about ‘Ballers car’". Any article must be written from a neutral point of view and must also demonstrate notability.
As an aside, I have prodded your article on Ballers. This is because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and therefore such articles are inappropriate. It has also been flagged up by other editors that this article was also not written in an encyclopedic style. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC) thank you for your response. I can understand to a degree your view of the article being written in a press release style although i believe that to be subjective and with regards notability i had included various external references including tabloid media coverage which exemplify its relevance. I am entrigged as to the difference between this peice and the peices on other tv shows such as the apprentice which appears on wikipedia. on the point of the term Ballers and wikipedia not being a dictionary may i ask the difference between the term 'Chav' which appears on wikipedia? i would greatly appreciate your incite as it will help with any future contributions i make and any guidance you can offer to make these contributions 'correct' is welcomed. i look forward to your feed back. Thanks
