ark 2[edit]

ark 2 ( live-action tv series) 1976

Sabrina[edit]

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch first appeared as a supporting character in "The Archie Comedy Hour" in 1969, but the Sabrina series did not actually run until 1971-1974. I have edited the article accordingly. --LiniShu 04:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Filmation Series ordering[edit]

Are the entries in the Filmation Series subsection, within each decade, arranged in any particular order? I would suggest ordering them either by starting year or alphabetically by title. Cheers, LiniShu 20:15, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bravestarr end date[edit]

The Internet Movie Database, referenced in External links, appears to have the incorrect ending date for the Bravestarr series 1. IMDb says 1989; it should be 1988. See Talk:Bravestarr. --LiniShu 04:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Filmation.png[edit]

Image:Filmation.png 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 07:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not part of DreamWorks[edit]

Everyone seems to get confused about company ownership and asset ownership. It says Filmation was shut down by Westinghouse Broadcasting. Did it say that they've sold off the company? No. It said that the assets were sold off to intellectual companies. Assets mean library, trademarks, etc. Company ownership means that a company buys out another company outright.

History section is crap[edit]

The history section starts with

"They eventually left True Line,"

This is probably the ONLY history entry on Wikipedia that starts out midstream instead of stating who founded, when, or previous work or companies. It would only be worse if it was the middle of a sentence.
