He has presented a programme on the history of a house in Liverpool on BBC Two (I think it was 62 Faulkner Street) - could this go in the article? Vorbee (talk) 20:32, 13 January 2018 (UTC) The programme is called A House Through Time. Vorbee (talk) 19:57, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vorbee: This is already mentioned in the filmography section. Rcsprinter¹²³ (indicate) 12:42, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be included? There is no reference for it. No evidence. Rustygecko (talk) 00:05, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rustygecko: The Radio Times reference after the next sentence covers what you have excerpted. Rcsprinter123 (spiel) 00:51, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But the reference is based entirely on Olusoga's own claim, with the RadioTimes not bothering to corroborate his allegations with any contemporary police records. Maybe it should read "Olusoga has told RadioTimes that by the time he was 14. . . ." It is Wikipedia's policy to take these sort of claims by the subject at face value and report them as facts without any outside verification? 172.91.184.244 (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In this case - and you know very well why - it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.248.160 (talk) 11:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
