message: Was Kyle Baker's work on Plastic Man canon?  Doesn't it contain cartoony unrealistic elements that don't fit with the laws and physics of the DC universe?  Are there other titles in the DC universe that contains cartoony elements?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.96.156.126 (talk) 05:00, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Linking directly to YouTube (or any other "public" media site) is probably not a good idea, IMO, because of copyright issues -- when word of the pilot first got out, links were working only for a couple of hours at a time before the clip was taken down.  The current link seems to have more staying power (I haven't checked) and the copyright owners may have given up trying to enforce it.  The credits you list certainly provide appropriate research information (and they also point out the copyrights involved) -- but for Wiki-purposes it would help if we could find a reliable text article on the pilot and cite that instead.  Otherwise, we just have a (probably pirated) video clip without any documentation to explain its existence.  We're only conjecturing and/or doing original research, and that's not encyclopedic.

The first of those references has since been "cleaned up" (as noted in the TV IV page), but the second is at least partially intact and seems to confirm the story.  I would suggest we link directly to those sources instead, but that isn't exactly supported by Wikipedia guidelines either.  HalJor 01:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: New cartoon pilot deleted without comment

message: Hello Kf4bdy,
The reasoning behind me posting “There is a 2006 unaired pilot for a Cartoon Network series called 'Plastic Man'. The episode has not been aired on TV and if it will be aired is still unknown. ” was that I thought I had cited my source clearly.  I apology if I have not done so.
If you would please view the video Plastic Man Unreleased Pilot for Cartoon Network on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cavl9n8E18A.  I know at first glance You Tube, may not seem as a reliable source, however the video contains copyrighted credits that makes the video genuine.
If you look closely the credits contain the following:
Opening Credits
 Based on DC Comics Characters
 Plastic Man Created by
 Jack Cole
 Developed for Television by
 Tom Kenny
 Andy Suriano
Ending Credits
 Animation Services
 Toon City Animation Inc.
 Executives in Charge of
 Production for Cartoon Network
 Todd Casey
 Heather Kenyon
 Alex Manugian
 Sam Register
 © 2006 Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc.
 All Rights Reserved 
The video gives credit to DC Comics and Jack Cole
the owners and creator of Plastic Man.  The video was developed for TV by Tom Kenny someone who has had previous involvement with animated programs.  The animation work was done by Toon City Animation Inc. an official and established animation studio.  The video was produced by Cartoon Network and cites Sam Register the vice president of Cartoon Network.  Finally the video is copyrighted by Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. the owners of DC Comics.
I hope that I was able to clear the misunderstanding, and cite my source more clearly.  I would appreciate it if you could suggest a better and more efficient way of citing this information on Wikipedia.
Sincerely,
Bondswalterppk
