Please place the text "2010–" between the left parenthesis and the year "2014" next to the link to the character Bali because the TV show Bali was on the air from 2010 to 2014. 75.166.160.217 (talk) 19:15, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

The Berenstain Bears, and Between the Lions was no longer in reruns, Super Why has came back to production, and Lost Treasure Hunt, Roey's Paintbox, and Scientastic is an American Public Television show and does not belong in the PBS Kids page. 2602:252:D3E:4BA0:5057:8F87:5B3C:B249 (talk) 21:35, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Sourcing

Electricburst1996, for your reading pleasure and the part you most read over at Wikipedia:Primary sources: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources ..." That means primary source or self sourced material should not general be used. We are not here to promote Primal Screen thus it is WP:UNDUE unless it has been covered by third party sources. Bookworm block is not cover in given source. Spshu (talk) 22:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

@Spshu: Also from that part: "and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." From further on in the article: "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." ElectricBurst^{(Electron firings)}_(Zaps) 22:58, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

But you are placing too much on the latter half. Turns out information was unverifiable. Spshu (talk) 23:03, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Why in the world are you thanking me for what you should have done instead of reverting my edit? You can seem to be bother to improve sourcing and attack the person that attempt to raise the low standard that you want to use. Spshu (talk) 23:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

@Spshu:, the WSKG primary source article is a better one than the one you have used. As mentioned above (though for much more supportable reasons), the WSKG article is a descriptive statement of fact regarding the launch date of the network on their station, there is no interpretation required and as such, it is usable. As a local resident in WSKG's service area with knowledge of the source you have cited, that source is merely a blog that reposts content, and in this case literally copied the press release they were sent. Their veracity as a media source is minimal - the site is primarily a music-focused events blog that distributes information to social media and periodically publishes press releases they are sent. It is not a valid secondary source.

But I am still using the primary source just via another website. According to information about that website there is a publisher and at least one editor. Spshu (talk) 14:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

End of nation network put in first paragraph in its history subsection.

Electricburst1996 did you even read the paragraph? Your statement is contradictory with your actions. "It could have the potential to throw the reader off if it is arranged like that." "..ran for six years.." indicates the length of time the nationwide network existed and you don't know that up front at the launch. It is written like a retrospective, ie. at the end of the national network's funding and existence. So after it ended then the article move on to another paragraph that talk about the network, well did it just not end per the article? A history is general written in chronological order. Spshu (talk) 21:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

PBS Kids Channel split-off

It's time to discuss a split off of this content; right now the content about the channel is at a net negative with only 'it exists' when there should be a lot more about it; PBS station articles should optimally go there rather than just throwing a reader into the weeds. Nate • (chatter) 02:46, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Not notable yet on its own (as far as I can tell). I have expanded the network into its own section. Thus it should not be a "net negative". Spshu (talk) 14:03, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Affiliate table

@Mariacer Cervantes:, please improve the affiliate table instead of destroying then reworking it as you are not giving a reason for your edits. The table is designed to handle the local format channels plus the original network attempt affiliate. Some seem to keeping local kids channels while launching the network. Thus with the table, you see which stations those are (and hopefully those that previous had the network). Yes, it isn't completely wikilink. It was not suppose to be complete yet, I was just attempt to get the information extracted as the source doesn't give start dates. WCMZ station will be shutting down in a few months (and I expect a few other PBS stations will too that have PBS Kids) thus it does make sense to include separate station rows in the table. We are support to collaborate not attempting to rack up edits removing others work. You are also adding a source (a duplicate of a source that is already used) about the first launch of PBS KIDS to the paragraph about the PBS KIDS Sprout program with the local stations. Spshu (talk) 14:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mrschimpf: or any one who might be interested. Perhaps the PBS Kids affiliate table should be move and merged into the PBS affiliate list as it seems that the PBS Kids affiliate have to be regular PBS affiliates. On the other hand, the PBS Kids affiliate table is rather "busy" given the three separate PBS Kids Channels (thus columns: original network, independent formated, current network). Also, I have not been able to turn up much in the way of information on affiliates during the original network period. Which I think might be more confusing over there in mixing potential original Kids affiliates that the current network affiliates might have been with non-affiliates.

This is not about the WTVS-WKAR Kids channel as it may not be able to use the PBS Kids brand. Spshu (talk) 20:38, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

PBS Kids in the L.A. Market

@Spshu: First off, I must apologize for the wording of an earlier statement I made in my edit summary, saying the affiliation on KOCE "was the block." I will point out that there was no official network block provided to PBS stations prior to 2006, aside from the Bookworm Bunch in the fall of 2000. It was unintentional to state that as such. Like you, I strive to make sure the information provided is accurate and to the point. In view of that, the only reliable source that I have available are local TV Guide listings from early 2000 that includes a portion of the original 24/7 network lineup that was simulcast on KOCE from 12 midnight to 5AM. Some archived listings from the KOCE website have it listed under PBS Kids as well. I'm sorry that I cannot provide anything further than that. On a side note, I apologize also for not citing the date provided on the local KLCS subchannel. I regret that there's little information online regarding the launch date of that station's subchannels, but I can assure you the information provided is sound. Please take this into consideration. Thank you. Kresblain (talk) 00:26, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

You are inserting this unsourced information in with sourced information. Once some thing is completely sourced, you needed to add sourced material or not added at all. You cannot expect other editors to have to track unsourced material in their heads at least add a citation needed inline tag. Secondly, people were sure about a number of pieces of information was "sound" but I found sources that indicated those "facts" where not sound. Also, PBS Kids did have an PBS network block starting in 1999, the former PTV block, ie the Ready to Learn service, as they recommended that it not be removed from the local stations' line up due to the 1999 network launch. The PBS KIDS Channel network was programmed with a daytime & afternoon block shown twice then a prime time block shown twice and an overnight block. Bookworm Bunch was a specific PBS Kids block, not clear on the KIDS network or a general block using the PBS Kids brand (although its article states that it was for the network. Spshu (talk) 22:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Please bring back the programming list

Bring back the list of shows because people need to know what shows used to air on PBS Kids and what shows currently airs on the block/channel, especially if they are international readers outside from Canada/northern Mexico, and the page looks empty without it.

The anonymous editor is clearly asking that the article be changed from not having the Programming section to having one again. Like the one from July of 2016, for example.
