message: Someone decided to drop a long and unreferenced "Library" section into the bottom of the article. If that person, or someone else, can reference and cite Warners' ownership of all of these assets, it can go back in. Otherwise, here it sits. Note that this is a cleaned up version I attempted to fix up, before I myself started questioning a few of the items on here.

message: Should films and TV shows that have simply been announced still be listed? These productions may never come off and if they do it could take a few years to make after that announcement. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 18:06, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: They probably shouldn't be listed until there's some evidence that they're actually going to be produced. Trivialist (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

text: There's also some house keeping on the current items. One thing is on the Wacky Races item. The only source listed on it is a toonzone thread. The only real evidence so far is a logo and an Upfront saying it's a reboot that is expected to air in 2016. Nothing has really mentioned if it's a ongoing series or a special/movie. Wacky Races would be "rebooted" in either. And also I checked the source and the one on the Jetsons article assumes it's 2016, although other wrestling news sites instead said 2017. And while there's no real source able information to it without a date from the studio, I'd say the pattern speculates more towards 2017. If you want to keep it because that's what the sourced article says I agree, but at the same time that source doesn't have any definitive information on a date. So maybe a TBA would be better. I also can't find the original post about the script from February/March 2015 but is second-hand referenced in this report from another wrestling site. Which someone can judge if found, since I can stand behind seeing said article making the current source incorrect that it was broken first on the Animation Guild page. http://www.gerweck.net/2015/09/18/wwe-studios-moving-forward-with-another-animated-movie-wwe-vs-hanna-barbera-in-the-works/

message: Can you please change this part back from:
"Warner Bros. Animation is the animation division of Warner Bros."
To:
"Warner Bros. Animation is the animation division of Warner Bros., a subsidiary of WarnerMedia."
The other paragraph says "Since 1990, Warner Bros. Animation has primarily focused upon the production of television and feature animation of other properties, notably including those related to WarnerMedia's DC Comics publications since 1992", but it's not even linked. 186.115.82.208 (talk) 20:47, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not (yet) formally answering this edit request, but do want to note here that I reworded the second paragraph to remove mentions of WarnerMedia since D.C. and Hanna-Barbera are both controlled by Warner Bros.
