# Talk:Regulations on children's television programming in the United States

Have a history/background section. This can explain the history of children's programming regulation before FCC came into the picture
Organise various regulations chronologically - start with the oldest and proceed to the newest.
For each regulation/act prominent cases, litigation, rulings, controversies and criticism can be added

Hello mentees,
1) wikilinking - After the text is done, please add internal links to other wikipedia articles for terms like US Congress, Supreme Court, The Jetsons, etc (but not to common terms like Radio, Television)--Sodabottle (talk) 19:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
2) photos/illustrations - This article can do with some images. If you can get hold of any photos of FCC hearings on children's programming (copyright has to be checked - if it is the work of federal govt, it is in public domain, else we have to see if it can used with a fair use rationale) it would be nice--Sodabottle (talk) 19:38, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I rewrote this article, incorporating new, sourced text and merged content from Children's Television Act and E/I. This revision is more comprehensive and filled with less trivia. ViperSnake151  Talk   03:26, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

I accidentally hit the Enter key rather than the Shift key while typing my edit summary for reverting the last edit, so here's what I was trying to type since I can't edit an edit summary: "Please note that while "E/I" is already bolded in the article, nowhere is the phrase "educational and informative" bolded, of which phrase "E/I" is the abbreviation. Matt Gies (talk) 20:39, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

My unilateral and BOLD merge was unilaterally undone by @Mrschimpf: due to an apparent need for consensus. The articles are redundant; E/I is flimsy and full of OR and needs more sourcing. This article expresses the entire concept with adequate sourcing and less OR. ViperSnake151  Talk   00:45, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

What's with the hyphen in this throughout? 173.90.75.20 (talk) 01:42, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

The article appears to be well-written and well-researched.  However, I have some points to address. 

Artvoice citations need to be removed as they are now considered WP:SPAM.
Some sources are inaccessible as they appear on the article.  Please either archive these sources or find different sources.  You can use the IABot Management Console at WP:IABOT or use other resources available at Help:Using the Wayback Machine if you choose to attempt to archive the sources.

The paragraphs starting with the following sentences have the same reference tag copied in two places in each paragraph.
- "Fowler was against mandating the broadcast of educational programming"
- "The idea was criticized by NBC's vice president"
- "In October 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed"

Citations should be put in numerical order.  Two examples include the paragraphs that start with "Fox Kids president Margaret Loesch denied" and "In the 2000s, multiple networks began to outsource their Saturday morning blocks".
The citation for "'The Weird Al Show': The Complete Oral History" is duplicated.  Please change the duplicate citation to follow the convention for the first one.
All dates should be in month, day, year format.
Aside from these changes, the article looks good. If you make the changes, I plan to change this to a good article. I recommend using Gog the Mild's GAN/FAC checklist for further information on how to make this a good article. Z. Patterson (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

@ViperSnake151: The article looks better, but still has some sources that lead to errored pages, even after I archived them.  I am going to give you seven days to address the pages that lead to dead pages, even after attempting to archive with WP:IABOT and the Wayback Machine.  One example of such sources is DelliColli, Lori; Marshall, Cindy (August 19, 2004). "CBS and Nickelodeon Present: CBS's 2004-05 Children's Programming Schedule" (Press release). CBS Press Express. Retrieved 2018-11-16. Z. Patterson (talk) 12:59, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
@Z. Patterson: Quite a few of the sources listed already had archive URLs listed, but I switched, refactored, or removed the ones listed just now. ViperSnake151  Talk   21:54, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
@ViperSnake151: I see.  I attempted to archive the following source, but all of the archives for this page lead to error pages.  Are you able to find a replacement source for this source, or remove it if you cannot?

@ViperSnake151: I am pleased to announce the article meets the WP:GACR6.  It is broad in its coverage, it has no original research, it is written well, it is neutral, there are no recent WP:EDITWARS, and it illustrates the topic well for an article in the law and television topics.  Good work. Z. Patterson (talk) 09:28, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
