Did you know nomination

- Comment: For this week's factoid, you can thank Thriley (talk · contribs) for influencing me.
- The initials of this block's home network once stood for "The Learning Channel", but as you shall soon see, there's a reason they also stand for "tender loving care".
- Yet another revamp of yet another long-neglected kidvid article (after last month's stint on The Book of Virtues). And by "long-neglected", there are no kind words for how much this got dragged across the mud over the first 18 years of its existence, suffering the slings and arrows of IPs and vandals with no substantial improvement--or serious research--in sight. To the point where TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs) and Liz (talk · contribs) put the old version out of its misery by May 2022 per WP:NTV. Quoting the former:
"Tagged for notability since 2013. Program blocks are far less likely to be notable on their own, and I see no reason for this one to be so."
- Not for long, though.
- One night last week, I came across Kenny the Shark's status report at this page on TV Tropes--which had me wondering about a demographically related Discovery property, the one I've nominated right now. Looking up Ready Set Learn! InPrivate, I was astonished there was no article on the block, only to learn it had been deleted some time ago. Plan of action: Search it up at WP:Library ProQuest, invoke WP:THREE at WP:RFUD, and hope for the best. And you can easily guess what happened next till this Monday and beyond--complete with official exclamation mark, and proof of its CableACE win back in 1995. (Rehabbed through the AFC process.)
- Don't know what to say next...other than I may need another cooldown from WP eventually. (Besides, I'm trying to get a long-gestating NaNoWriMo project of mine rejuvenated off-WP today or tomorrow.) Or maybe not, as my AFC queue will quickly prove; I feel like taking a stab at a couple of pre-queue efforts before this week's over. Once again, see you back soon with another kidlit pick.
- From one of this block's fellow viewers in the Commonwealth of Dominica back then (through the Marpin cable service).
- Wikitrivia note: Short27265 (talk · contribs) was a single-purpose account from mid-November 2004 with only two edits to their name, both page creations: for Peep and the Big Wide World, and the subject of this DYK pitch (which it aired on).
