# Talk:Fred Rogers

Hello neighbors, I was wondering if any of these images would work better for the infobox. I have recently uploaded them to commons, and I do admit that a review of their copyright status by a user more experienced than myself may be beneficial. If these pass the copyright test, would you be inclined to use them, or are they too pixel-y? And if neither suffices for any reason, I kindly ask that dedicated editors may search for a colored image of Rogers with proper license, which would be great for this article. Thank you.

When searched on Tineye, the 1988 photograph says its copyright belongs to "Everett Collection Inc / Alamy Stock Photo". The other one might be okay somewhere deep in the article but I think we need to keep searching for high quality public domain photos.The lorax (talk) 18:26, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

change:
"...and Misterogers (1963) in Canada for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."
to:
"...and Mr. Dressup (1963) in Canada for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."
Reason:
Appears to be either a placeholder or an error as it seems the intention was to refer to the show "Mr. Dressup" developed for the CBC. I've also included the Wikipedia link for the associated page.

Apparently there was a 15-minute show called "Misterogers" in Canada before Mr. Dressup and Mr. Rogers. Ernie Coombs (Dressup) was a puppeteer on Misterogers. See the 3rd paragraph under Fred_Rogers#Early_work: "In 1963, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Toronto contracted Rogers to come to Toronto to develop and host the 15-minute black-and-white children's program Misterogers; it lasted from 1963 to 1967.[27][33]".
