Requested Move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: do not move as proposed. Instead move The World Tomorrow (disambiguation) to The World Tomorrow. The consensus of this discussion is that there is no primary topic. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:12, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
The World Tomorrow (radio and television) → The World Tomorrow – Presently The World Tomorrow redirects to World Tomorrow by Assange. Assange's program was called World Tomorrow, not The World Tomorrow, whereas this long-running radio and television show is actually called The World Tomorrow and is the primary use for The World Tomorrow and has great prominence over Asange's show that doesn't have the definit article. Another important distinction. Asange show was 12 episodes running from 17 April to 3 July 2012, and was scrapped. So a minimal run of less than 3 months. The proper The World Tomorrow has been going on since 1934 and is heard by huge number of listeners and attended by a huge number of TV viewers. Assange program can be served by a disambiguation on top of this page for the religious broadcasts werldwayd (talk) 03:25, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support restore of redirect of The World Tomorrow to The World Tomorrow (disambiguation) as before this edit. Or better still, move The World Tomorrow (disambiguation) over The World Tomorrow. The Armstrong WCOG radio program certainly has massive prominence over Assange but isn't a clear primary, since the socialist-Christian magazine 1918-1934 has a surprisingly large showing in Google Books. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:36, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Move The World Tomorrow (disambiguation) to The World Tomorrow - Just to note, the move of the disambig to the primary name would be better than the cut/paste of content (cut/paste conceals attribution history). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:46, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- After further consideration of the valuable comments of the two colleagues above, I, as the original propser of the move, am now more convinced that they are making a valid point and I support renderring The World Tomorrow as the main disambiguation. This would be the best course without given prominence to the neither radio/Tv religious show, nor the magazine nor the Assange series. werldwayd (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose as originally proposed the disambiguation page should be restored to its location prior to the 2012 rename, which is the suggested destination of this request nomination. So move The World Tomorrow (disambiguation) to The World Tomorrow -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:38, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

I have tagged the "Archived episodes" section of this article as a possible hoax, as this content has been repeatedly added while referencing a source which appears to have nothing to do with the assertions made. Also, there are WP:BLP concerns as to what exactly Garner Ted Aukerman's connection to the topic is and I couldn't find any solid link between him and Armstrongism besides the similarity of name between he and G.T. Armstrong, merely references to a stuntman cousin of Scott Aukerman who goes by this name. Roberticus talk 21:24, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
The congress library link proves the holdings or archive episodes of world tomorrow with herbert armstrong and garner armstrong are among their archives, while the first link proves doles involvement with the preservation. Any white house records would prove the dinner with Sadat and guest list. Dole was the Senate Agriculture chair during the timeframe mentioned. These are the links to the congress holdings and archived epidodes of ted armstrong which edited from the library holdings and put on tv as reruns. And a link to aukerman already exists among the articles citations. Found a couple more that details the aukerman dole relationship. Aukerman is also a cousin of Robert Downey, Jr., and the Imdb photo links prove the aukerman armstrongism connection. This articles archived episodes section presents a facisating to read about the incredible events and people involved in this television program preservtion and discovery among the US congress archives. I also found some links to the edited rerun congress tapes of herbert armstrong and the walk tv cable weekly schedule clearly shows both garner ted armstong and the world tomorrow shows air back to back every saturday morning. http://www.loc.gov/rr/main/religion/mptv.html http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1284860 https://plus.google.com/+GARNERTEDAUKERMAN/about http://www.imdb.com/media/rm795082496/nm4137167?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_pbl_81 http://www.imdb.com/media/rm140771072/nm4137167?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_pbl_43 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000327/board/nest/231800850?p=2 https://m.yutube.com/watch?v=lu02cjN8Njc https://www.denveropenmedia.org/shows/world-tomorrow-are-you-being-judged https://www.denveropenmedia.org/shows/world-tomorrow-gospel-sign www.theworldtomorrow.tv www.thewalktv.files.wordpress.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.62.55.226 (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Talk about grasping at straws to attempt to delete an entire article section. Roberticus has made numerous edits to this article over the years to the detriment of the article. In his claim above he states "I never could find anything from the Library of Congress site either which verifies inclusion of "The World Tomorrow". Well, Roberticus needs to do a little better reading. The above links need to be included as citations for the article section in dispute. Failure to include the links smacks of continued vandelism to the article and this particular section. http://www.loc.gov/rr/main/religion/mptv.html United States Library of Congress Description of Collections Videos and Sound Recordings: Because the collection is not cataloged by subject for the most part, it is not possible to provide detailed information about religion-related holdings of films and videotapes. Consultation with reference staff is recommended to find needed materials. The collection is strong in materials submitted to the Library for copyright, and so includes a reasonably complete collection of religious-themed feature films made and/or distributed in the United States, ranging from traditional Biblical epics (e.g. The Ten Commandments, 1956; the 1925 silent version of Ben-Hur) to films offering social comment on religion (Elmer Gantry, 1960) to more contemporary works (The Last Temptation of Christ, 1989; The Rapture, 1992; Little Buddha, 1993). There may also be found dramatizations of religious literature, e.g. the 1991 production of the Mahabharata by Peter Brooks. Television programs in the collection include documentaries (e.g. The Long Search, a 1978 BBC/Time-Life production examining the major world religions), and evangelistic programs such as The World Tomorrow (from the Worldwide Church of God, featuring Garner Ted Armstrong and Herbert W. Armstrong; Library of Congress holdings run from 1978 to 1983. (Actually the holdings run from 1972 to 1994).
Senator mentionedAfter reviewing the content, I see that the mention that "Senator Bob Dole ordered the preservation of all copies" was unsourced. Without that link, all further mentions of Dole lost any context or reason to even be in the article. Also, the claim of the program being the only one of a religious nature in the archives was original research. After pruning the unsourced, lacking context, and WP:NOR statements in the section, the only remaining supported statement is that the archive exists. I've now moved that remaining mention into being a sub-section of the "Format" section, as it fitx in that context. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
A handful of friends/quote unquote editors - run and rule Wikipedia. Barek contacted his buddy to punish or as they call it temp blocking someone who does not agree with their disruptive edits which they falsely label personal attacks. If you disagree with a Wikipedia super editor, that super editor will immediately private message one of his super editor pals and the buddy will block any newcomer. No wonder Wikipedia is suffering and under current public smear as being run by a handful of 90 percent male super editor egotists.

Then why did you just respond?? A handful of Bickering blathering predominantly male so called super wiki editors like you and your pals run and rule your private little cyberspace club called Wikipedia. Will you, now at this time restore the section referencing Senator Bob Doles preservation of The World Tomorrow in the Libriary of Congress archives, which you and your buddies destructively edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.223.199.111 (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2016 (UTC) The Decline of Wikipedia MIT technology review https://www.technologyreview.com/s/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.223.199.111 (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2016 (UTC) Considering my newcomer experience with Barek and his alter egos with this particular article, the following piece of research on The decline of Wikipedia was spot on correct! The sixth most widely used website in the world is not run anything like the others in the top 10. It is not operated by a sophisticated corporation but by a leaderless collection of volunteers who generally work under pseudonyms and habitually bicker with each other. It rarely tries new things in the hope of luring visitors; in fact, it has changed little in a decade. And yet every month 10 billion pages are viewed on the English version of Wikipedia alone. When a major news event takes place, such as the Boston Marathon bombings, complex, widely sourced entries spring up within hours and evolve by the minute. Because there is no other free information source like it, many online services rely on Wikipedia. Look something up on Google or ask Siri a question on your iPhone, and you’ll often get back tidbits of information pulled from the encyclopedia and delivered as straight-up facts. Yet Wikipedia and its stated ambition to “compile the sum of all human knowledge” are in trouble. The volunteer workforce that built the project’s flagship, the English-language Wikipedia—and must defend it against vandalism, hoaxes, and manipulation—has shrunk by more than a third since 2007 and is still shrinking. Those participants left seem incapable of fixing the flaws that keep Wikipedia from becoming a high-quality encyclopedia by any standard, including the project’s own. Among the significant problems that aren’t getting resolved is the site’s skewed coverage: its entries on Pokemon and female porn stars are comprehensive, but its pages on female novelists or places in sub-Saharan Africa are sketchy. Authoritative entries remain elusive. Of the 1,000 articles that the project’s own volunteers have tagged as forming the core of a good encyclopedia, most don’t earn even Wikipedia’s own middle-ranking quality scores. The main source of those problems is not mysterious. The loose collective running the site today, estimated to be 90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an often abrasive atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase participation in Wikipedia and broaden its coverage.Then
Then, why do you KEEP continuing replying further, Barek? Because you are a "super" editor and therefore you MUST have it your way without having any newcomers usurp your authority, and you definitely must always have the last word! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.223.199.111 (talk) 21:37, 4 May 2016 (UTC) COI templateScrapIron, Also please explain the COI template by beginning a talk as required by Wikipedia rules: Like the other neutrality-related tags, if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article.

Scrap iron placed the notice, and Scrapiron ONLY was to begin a talk. He has not. We are the producers. We are not sabataging or vandalizing this article which tends to point new viewers of our church sponsored television and radio program toward our telecast, as has been falsely suggested many times by some here. As to our present host, we run what we call classics of past hosts mainly Herbert. We have the entire collection of tapes Bob Doles preserved into the archives beginning in 1977. Dole helped us get the copies done at the senate price rate, which saved us over 18 thousand dollars to have the collection copied. As to Mr. Aukerman, who discovered the collection by happenstance, we have asked him to host for many years but he has turned us down. Thank you for honoring our reqest to amend the article and delete Mr. Aukerma's name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.223.225.156 (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 Moved from user talk:Barek § World TomorrowEarlier discussions on this article talk page centered on the the involvement of Garner Aukman. Aukman's name is listed in the end credits to many of the online videos I have watched, available on YouTube and many other online sources. Wikipedia would need to remove the film and television credits for every actor, director, producer with Wikipedia pages because their Wikipedia pages lift and copy their credits directly off the Internet Movie Database, IMDb.com, because they are vetted as a sound reliable source.

I've moved the above discussion from my talk page over to the relevant section of this article talk page so as to keep the discussion in a single place, making the discussion easier to follow. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:10, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Barek, your talk page indicates you have many Wikipedia alter egos. Do you use these alter Wikipedia identities to show a consensus of support for your edits? It's strange no edits were made to this page since mid May, and now on Labor Day, this article is all the sudden grand central high traffic for Wikipedia editors. Editor WERLDWYD made 3 consecutive edits today. Deleting large sections of any article content, such as the Bob Dole connection, and blanking other verifiable source material does not change the fact Dole was involved in the preservation, or the current and past program hosts and producers. And FYI you do have a serious COI: The user name Werldwyd is a play on WORLDWIDE, direct affiliation of THE WORLD TOMORROW show and their Church of God! Looks like in your face sock puppets going on with this article. FastNLoud (talk) 00:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)FastNLoud
If Aukerman asked you to remove his name and affiliation from this article, why have you not done so? The name needs to be removed from the article its entirety, which includes this talk page and the history page. If Robert Downey, Jr., and Garner Aukerman asked you as an administrator to remove their names, do it. The page history suggests Barek, Roberticus, C.Fred and Werldwayd have assumed ownership and hijacked this article. They together account for having contributed to 90 percent of the edits over several years. Aukerman's name should be deleted from this talk page conversation if what you claim is true. FastNLoud (talk) 05:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)FastNLoud
Do the useful editing Barek. Upload a similar title card as found at the Assa gr copyright infringement World Tomorrow Wikipedia article. His title card upload would be identical. No copyright issues exist. And begin removing all credits for all actors directors and producers with Wikiledia pages. Wikipedia editors have lifted copied and pasted all those films and TV credits from Intrrnet Movie Database, IMDb.com you say is an invalid source. Remove the Assange Wikioedia copied program credits listings and the IMDb link at that page too. Stop practicing sockpuppetry and your selective destructive biased editing and cronisism.

Stop monkeying around with us already, there is no "unnamed someone else". Senators and Congressmen can place anything they consider of archival value into to library for their own PERSONAL or public use. DOLE ORDERED THE PRESERVATION FOR HIMSELF AS A SENATOR. Let's stop with the game playing and hula hoop dancing. How many "hoops" and barricades dos you want to put up here to play your games with Barek? The Trumpet source was in fact referenced and you claimed it not a valid source here and at the Garner Ted ARMSTRONG Wikipedia page you also destructively edited with the same content and Trumpet article reference. You upload the title card, and YOU correct the destructive edits YOU made. Then move on to another article and stay away from this one as it is clear to all you've personally hijacked this article and related subject matter for many years YOU Assumed personally editorial ownership. And next time Labor Day rolls around try A LITTLE OUT DOOR activity instead of living in cyberspace. Stop playing editorial GOD playing games and torturing this church and its television show outreach.

No conspiracy as falsely suggested by user Barek, only facts concerning his disruptive edits. Barek and his Wikipedia pals placed a protection template over the article so that only he can make and approve future edits to this page. Barek blanked an entire section pertaining to the programs preservation by Senator Bob Dole. Yes, that is a FACT, not a conspiracy. Barek DELETED the entire section, and only reluctantly added a small passage about the Library of Congress collection. Barek then went to the Garner Ted Armstrong Wikipedia page and deleted the same section of information pertaining to Bob Dole. These sections were approved by other editors and well sourced and included on this article for well over one year before Barek deleted them. He now denies accepting another source for the Dole content because he argues he personally needs the name of some "unknown other person" who accepted the package of program tapes at the Library of Congress Dole ordered preserved! Perhaps we can track down the name of the shipping clerk who worked in receiving and shipping at the Library of Congress in 1978 when they began receiving the tapes in the mail! Or, maybe we can get the name of the mailman who delivered them from the Post Office to satisfy Barek. The FACT is Barek does not personally want the preservation information section mentioning Senator Bob Dole included. Maybe he is a former church member, or perhaps even Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, or simply of some other religious background besides this church and its long running sponsored program. The program has been on the air for so long, one of the title cards previously uploaded and APPROVED under fair use, was in BLACK and WHITE dating back 50 years. Theses title card images are in the public domain and can be easily found with any cursory Google image search. The other title cards that were later deemed not acceptable and deleted were from the classic episodes hosted by Herbert W. Armstrong from the early 1980"s and one of more recent years 2004 to present. Now, even though these episodes were uploaded under the fair use template used by many other well known sitcoms and television shows with Wikipedia pages, AND uploaded identically as the infringing Julian Assange World Tomorrow Wikipedia page, they were deleted citing copyright concerns, while the Assange World Tomorrow page title card photos remain intact. Talk about your double standard. Along the lines of the Assange World Tomorrow Wikipedia page: Before any of his programs aired on RT television (and they only aired on RT) Assange and his production company were forced to change their planned name from THE WORLD TOMORROW, to THE JULIAN ASSANGE SHOW, because of the conflict with this long running program title of the same name, and trademark and copyright issues. However, no editor has updated this on the Assange Wikipedia page as it is still titled the World Tomorrow, the title card remains, AND although Imdb.com has been disavowed as a credible Wikipedia source, the Assange page Imdb.com reference link remains intact and unchanged. Now take a look at the Julian Assange Wikipedia World Tomorrow page. Notice how pristine and clean it appears to the eye. Very well done. While this page looks horrible in its layout by comparison. One would think all these super editors like Barek and his pals who have fought so hard for so many years, as he is fighting now to control the editorial content of this page, well one would think he would improve its appearance since he spends so much of his time editing and improving Wikipedia pages and their source content. Look at any television show page you can think of here on Wikipedia, and compare it to this page. Wow, how nicely laid out all the others are, while this page looks like shit by comparison. Now compare those to any Wikipedia porn star page. Look at that well sourced plethora of content! Incredible that these Wikipedia editors can spend so much of their time beautifying and adding so much content to a wretched porn stars Wikipedia page, while they ignore so many other pages that desperately need editorial attention and upgrading. Barek recently changed the dates of the Bob Dole Library of Congress collection to reflect the holdings only date from 1978 to 1983. Barek removed the updated citation reference links some time ago when he deleted the entire section mentioned which prove the Garner Ted Armstrong and Herbert W. Armstrong holdings actually run from 1972 to 1986. However those links are still included near the middle of this talk page. And, the FACT is the holdings run from 1972 through 1994. While GTA and HWA were the hosts from 1972 till 1986, other 4 hosts did the show until its initially cancellation till 1994. If anyone would click on the links provided above, which used to be included in the deleted section, they will take you to the archives where anyone can watch any of the half hour programs. The beginning of each broadcast features a countdown timer with the production number, date, and show title. Once again, this link was deleted as not useful or relevant to the article, and just this past week Barek has tried to downplay the archival holdings to only 5 years, with the recent change he made. The Library of Congress holdings comprise 22 years from 1972 to 1994. And, Senator Bob Dole ORDERED them, lets just say "requested" them to satisfy Barek for argument sake, included and preserved. Barek, one could gladly make the necessary changes to restore the section you blanked, and upload the title card photos once again. But one cannot because as you know, the page is blocked with a protection template.

This information was removed in an attempt to suppress it, by editor Barek for reasons unknown, and to which he has failed to provide a valid, unbiased and sufficient explanation. Please also lift the block so that title card photos can be uploaded a third time and reinstated a third time, in accordance with Wikipedia standards. All previous requests to Wikipedia for the title cards to be reinstated -- by those responsible for their deletion -- using the proper guidelines, have been ignored. Wikipedia admins concerned at all with copyright and trademark violation issues should be interested in the fact the Wikipedia page for the Julian Assange ill advised plan to initially call his short lived interview series THE WORLD TOMORROW, never materialized and NEVER aired anywhere in any region, under that banner. Producers from this articles Church of God long runnning television program of the same name contacted Assange, his New York City production company attorney, and Journeyman pictures just prior to thier planned airdate on Russian TV network, RT. An agreement was struck and their program NEVER AIRED as the WORLD TOMORROW. Assange simply changed the name to THE JULIAN ASSANGE SHOW. However, the Wikipedia page for the Assange program has failed to make this update, and remove the conflicting World Tomorrow title from his page and the Wikipedia World Tomorrow disambiguation page. User Barek appears heavily involved in blocking all attempts to right this wrong, and make the simple necessary changes to reflect the Assange page in a truthful and accurate manner.

Why don't you just fix this issue, reinsert the above reworded paraphrase which includes the Dole reference, and then move on. The reinsertion of the Bob Dole preservation to the Library of Congress is the main issue we have with you sir. Not the dates! Do you get it? Of course you do, you're a smart fella but you're dancing all around the issue by talking about dates of inclusion deliberately not discussing WHO included them. BOB DOLE. Why are you so adamantly opposed to anyone learning Senator Dole put these TV programs in the Library of Congress. And they are not "copies". They are the MASTER three quarter inch studio broadcast tapes! They were then converted by the Library of Congress duplication office to digital beta. Every episode from 1972 - 1994. But as I said the years. The dates do not matter. The fact a US senator put them into the collection, does. Somebody fix this problem.

Request to upload the current corresponding program title card for this Wikipedia page, per user Barek talk page instructions as follows: For the title card, as I have stated in the past, if you can upload one appropriately, I can then assist inserting it into the article. The page being protected does not prevent uploading. First, it's important NOT to upload it to the Commons (where it has been uploaded in the past), that is a sister website to Wikipedia, and they have more stringent rules on copyright, for example, "Fair Use" of copyrighted content is not accepted over there - that is why prior uploads to Commons have been deleted by their admins.To upload, you were previously supplied with a link to WP:Files for upload and asked to follow the menus. I'll make it even simpler: if you have a logged-in account, from the prior link provided you can reach the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard, fill out the fields, in section 3 select "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." - in the box that comes up, say it's for use at "The World Tomorrow (radio and television)", and select the option for "This is the official cover art of a work.", select the drop-down to say it's the "Title screen of a TV program" and fill in the remaining fields, then click "Upload".If you get a message in that process saying you are unable to upload the image directly over there, or you find it too convoluted to follow; but you already have a screenshot saved somewhere on the web that someone else can upload for you, one of the menu paths would also get you to the request form at this link; in the fields provided, provide the URL, say it is for fair-use, list the article where it is to be used, and any other requested data on that form - then save.As I said, once an image is uploaded correctly, I can assist with inserting it into the article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:THE_WORLD_TOMORROW.jpg Thank you. ---- worldtomorrowgta Worldtomorrowgta (talk) 06:30, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Well now isn't that special. You just blocked me with no expiration on the block, for being who I say I am, the copyright holder and content creator of the file upload. Why? What kind of backward rules are these being applied. You make me provide proof and a waiver at the file wizard uploader I am the copyright holder - and then permanently block me for being to close to the subject matter as the copyright holder! The file is uploaded correctly and you have marked it for discussion for deletion. I followed the instructions above given to me by super editor Barek to upload the file. Barek said he would assist after the file image was uploaded. But, instead, you have semi protected this page, marked the file for deletion, and banned my account. What double twisted backward standards. How was the same type file uploads at the Julian Assange World Tomorrow page? It had been there for years with none of these same issues claimed at this page.

Now someone here blocked my wireless IP with a lie saying it was another user account. So I changed it to my dog's name. Dolly. I hope that is OK with you folks. We live in Sevierville Tennessee, home of Dolly Parton and Dollywood. Most folks everywhere love Dolly Parton, so I hope you wont object to us naming our dog after her. ":The image at World Tomorrow was uploaded here on Wikipedia (not Wikimedia Commons) with a fair use claim (File:Wikileaks-world-tomorrow-title-card-960x540.png). It's a completely different situation." We attempted several years ago to use the same identical situation, uploaded by one of our members in another state, as the one described here with the Assange page. But, fault was found with that upload too. I have emailed "permissions" multiple times with no reply or response email. Obviously, any editor reviewing this matter can upload an image with simple ease to any other Wikipedia article, anytime they wish. One would imagine any editor reviewing this matter could do the same at this page. Obviously any editor can make this right and do the upload using the same technique used at the described herein (File:Wikileaks-world-tomorrow-title-card-960x540.png or by any other number of means. I will give it another shot, but clarification of copyright ownership WAS given, by me, multiple times by email to permissions, and just as instructed here: "provide the URL, say it is for fair-use, list the article where it is to be used, and any other requested data on that form - then save.As I said, once an image is uploaded correctly, I can assist with inserting it into the article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC)"----dollyparton7 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:THE_WORLD_TOMORROW.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dollyparton7 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 28 November 2016 (UTC) In your partial copy/paste, you conveniently left off the initial part of those instructions where I provided a link on Wikipedia, not the Wikimedia Commons[1].

Sir, I am new to Wikipedia. I am the President of the Church of God Worldwide; The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association and, CEO and producer for the subject corresponding Wikipedia article "The World Tomorrow (radio and television). My name is Earl Timmons. Several years ago, three of our long running Christian out-reach TV shows title cards were successfully uploaded, approved and inserted into the Wikipedia article. One was black and white from the early days of our shows inception in the 1960's, another from the 1980's and a current rendition. However, after over one year on the site, the photos were removed and deleted. For over three years hence, many of our supporter's, be they church members the world over, or fans and viewers of our world renowned telecast, have tried to upload even one representative current show title card to the article. Yet, each time it is rejected almost immediately, many times without discussion. We have even used the same methods used at other well known sitcom Wikipedia pages such as FRIENDS; Family Guy; MASH; Seinfield, and used the exact same parameters and methods of uploading other editors have used at those specific page articles for example, yet the title card is deleted over and over again. Now, I was informed, as the sole copyright and trademark owner, (THE WORLD TOMORROW (radio and television)) is in my personal name, I had to do the upload and grant consent and identify myself as the copyright and trademark holder at the time of the upload. The uploaded image has been correctly submitted recently at Commons, AND at WIKIPEDIA File Upload Wizard. But now I am being subjected to accusations which involve a catch-22 by a user known here as Barek. Barek has wrongly accused me of self-identifying, and he has accused me of sock and meat puppetry. Barek is no friend of our church organization. We believe the article has been taken over by ex-members or dissidents who have camped out and placed a permanent protection template on the article so that no positive updates can be made to the article, or even a simple title card insertion request. Our show is said to be controversial, by those that attend the Catholic, Babtist and mainstream evangelical churches who worship on Sunday, the first day of the week. We worship as Christ Himself did, on the seventh day; Saturday. A current hit film called Hacksaw Ridge, a true story, is of the same subject matter the very controversial Christ ordained 7th day Saturday Sabbath versus the Catholic church changed Sunday sabbath. This article in question has had many disruptive edits in recent days, one by user Doug Weller who has launched a personal attack and wrong accusations toward my account, and user Barek, who feigns friendship, but for years he also has been involved in camping at this article and making destructive edits to its content, even removing well sourced and long established entire sections. User Barek feigns assisting with the upload and insertion but as a super editor he will not volunteer himself as he said he would, to insert the requested photo even now awaiting approval and insertion. Rather, he has worked for the better part of the day and evening yesterday and last night, and even today 12-2-16, to attack and falsely label me as some other meat or puppet as he call it, with other users at my talk page. Late last night, my username was unjustly without cause disabled and upon surprise inspection this morning, reactivated. As the producer of this television series, I am shocked at the level of bullying and immature behavior I have experienced as a first time new account holder. One would think Wikipedia would investigate this type bullying of new comers given Wikipedia administration is actively soliciting freewill offerings and donations from the general public and all users to remain independent and financially solvent. The page in question has many issues which revolve around the ones discussed. Other areas of concern involve outdated content and factual errors. If Wikipedia does not honor this simple request to insert the show title card photo to the article within 72 hours, as the sole copyright and trademark claimant and owner, I will be submitting a demand and takedown injunction to Wikipedia Legal for the article to be completely redacted under our United States Legal rights and governing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Wikipedia is a U.S. company bound by U.S. law. We simply do not wish a handful of disgruntled disruptive users camped out at the article here on Wikipedia, to continue to subvert and misuse content pertaining to our television series in this ongoing disruptive destructive manner.

Call it what you will - friend, but it is not a "threat", but the law calls it is a "notification" of pending action.

Two shows
This article appears to be chronicling two different shows, not one. The fact that a different organization got a trademark on the same name does not make it the same show, any more than the various publishers of comic books titled Captain Marvel have been publishing the same series. If that's the case, it should be split into separate articles, assuming that the shows are separately notable. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:09, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
If you read the opening paragraph, you will see the show only suspended production for awhile, and that was due to financial issues. Note, the original show, topics and same title and producer's resumed this original half hour series, in 2004.
"The World Tomorrow television program is in current production after it resumed in 2004...."
The series copyright and trademark rights were transferred from one original producer/owners name, into the name of another original co-producer, in 2004. The series then resumed production with the same format and name. The producer named in the above collapsed thread, owns the copyright and trademark rights dating back to May 30, 1942.
Mark Armstrong owns all materials, video, radio, and print - of his father, Garner Ted Armstrong, dating back to 1953. Gtaeaicg (talk) 03:48, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Gtaeaicg
- I read the opening paragraph, and I see the claim that the trademark was gotten not from the prior trademark owner, but from the government, which is something that one can do with a trademark that has died from inactivity. This is repeated in fuller detail lower in the article. I see that it is being produced by a different organization, not the Worldwide Church of God, but the Church of God Worldwide Ministries. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:12, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
The copyright and trademark were transferred, yes both were transferred, look it up. The US Patent, Trademark and Copyright offices allow Copyrights and Trademarks to be transferred between individuals and entities. Transferred by Joseph Tkach, Jr. to Earl Timmons. (While the original church changed names, the television series and radio series remained the same.) The big organized parent church split into smaller groups of churches and most are registered independently with the secretary of state wherein, as non-profits.Gtaeaicg (talk) 04:40, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Gtaeaicg
- I have looked up the trademark. Registration 3209903, filed 11/26/2004, was a new registration, not a transfer. The registration was later transferred, from CHURCH OF GOD, WORLDWIDE MINISTRIES, THE to CHURCH OF GOD, WORLDWIDE MINISTRIES EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION, THE; and from there to WORLD TOMORROW EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION, but that's all within 2004 and later. The previous trademark for the TV show, registration 1382752, is dead, and there are no transfers listed. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:57, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
The copyrighted audio and video file ownership was transferred. You only ref. the trademark. Two different things. The copyright on the audio and video files transferred from GARNER TED ARMSTRONG PRODUCTIONS, INC.1953-2003 to son Mark Armstrong, upon dad's death. Gtaeaicg (talk) 05:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Gtaeaicg
Signed and notarized corporate article of transfer documents are never visible online or at http://www.trademarkia.com. Nor are either of our father's wills.
- I am not looking at trademarkia.com. I am using the TESS system of the USPTO themselves. It shows the record of transfers done through the office.
- You were the one who told me that the trademark had been transferred and to look it up. That seems to have been false information. I have tried looking up the copyright, and as best as I can find, the copyrights on the TV episodes are still in the name of Worldwide Church of God. I'm not quite as good at wielding the copyright database as I am the trademark database, I will admit. --Nat Gertler (talk) 05:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
I would like to speak with you Nat Gertler, since we are having the same issue with Gtaeaicg. They are two different shows. Two DIFFERENT trademarks. Beware of the Vexatious Litigators, we we are dealing with here. Wwcg-archives (talk) 03:15, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Request Separate Article for The World Tomorrow(2004) - Trademark Registration #3209903
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I request that another article be created for The World Tomorrow(2004) production, in contrast to the program with Herbert W Armstrong, for Shirley and Earl Timmons's trademark of 2004.
They are not the continuation of the TV Broadcast with Herbert W Armstrong, even the content within the programs are contradictory to the Original intent of the ORIGINAL World Tomorrow with Herbert W Armstrong.
I repost here the evidence of the differences in the two shows.
According to the United States Patent and trademark office, "The World Tomorrow" trademark used in the radio and television with Herbert W Armstrong, are different than the one obtained by Shirley and Earl Timmons in 2004. Here is the info on Shirley and Earl Timmon's trademark obtained in 2004. Again this can be found at the United States Patent and trademark office.

"Disputed" tag
@NatGertler: Can you be specific about precisely what is in dispute?E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:27, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- There is a dispute that can be seen in the talk about whether the current series named The World Tomorrow is actually the same series as the one that ended in the 1990s. The question had been raised by a poster here, which I originally shrugged off, but as folks involved in the discussion who appeared linked to the current show attempted to address the question, it didn't really settle things. They basically asserted that they'd gotten the copyright and trademark, and that that could be looked up... but when I checked the government databases, the title trademark they got was a new one (the trademark in the original one would've expired for lack of use) and the copyright database showed no sign of a rights transfer that I could find. So the real question is whether we're talking about one series, or two series of the same name, the latter of which has not shown independent notability. (For folks who know comics, I can point to how at least three different publishers have produced comics using the title Captain Marvel (well, one was Captain Marvel Adventures, and they are too some degree of the same nature - superhero comics - but they are different series, not based on mutual intellectual property.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Untitled
I am contributing to the entry for Pirate Radio and several related station pages as well as Herbert W. Armstrong, Garner Ted Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God since all of these topics are related. I intend to add a lot more information to this page.
I admit to making a mistake when creating this page because I originally accidentally created "World tomorrow" and I discovered that once I had done so, I could not undo it, so I created this page. If someone would be kind enough to remove that original page I would appreciate it. Thanks. MPLX/MH 05:41, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Another group called only "church of God", from Modesto CA, appears to run a radio program, and a website called the "Wonderful World Tomorrow". The slightly more upbeat sounding name appears to be an intentional tie-in although I see no evidence that the group is related to the Herbert W. Armstrong radio-program. --wpostma — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.198.185 (talk) 20:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Archived episodes - discovery sourced to Wikipedia mirror content
Information regarding the "preservation discovery" of the archived episodes was recently added into the article via this edit. However, the source provided ( www.self.gutenberg.org/articles/eng/The_World_Tomorrow_(1934)?View=embedded%27%27 ) is simply a copy/paste of an older poorly sourced version of this Wikipedia page (scanning through article history, I'm guessing it's copied from 2015-ish timeframe). Since that source is a mirror of Wikipedia content, it does not meet the threshold for being a third-party reliable source, so I reverted the addition. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 06:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
The Painful Truth
While I just eliminated one, this article still has multiple uses of a website called The Painful Truth and to copies of articles from Ambassador Report posted there.. This concerns me for two reasons:
- I am dubious that either The Painful Truth or Ambassador Report meets our standards for being "A Reliable Source"
- I am not convinced that the Ambassador Report articles posted there are done so with the permission of the copyright holders, and thus it would be against policy for us to link to their posting on that website. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:19, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
- I've wondered about similar concerns myself, as mulltiple articles under the general topic of Armstrongism could be affected if sourcing attributable to Ambassador Report were removed, which while generally critical of the subjects, appears to reflect a great deal of knowledge on the respective topics, while at the same time possibly running afout of WP:SELFPUBLISH. Removal of this source could cause even cause a few articles to sink below the WP:SIGCOV threshold... Roberticus talk 19:35, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
Whilst "The Painful Truth" is obviously negatively biased, it does not necessarily mean that what they write is untrue. I feel it is OK to quote them - others may balance their opinions with more positive references. --MarkGBetts (talk) 11:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- We're not claiming that what they say is necessarily untrue; we're saying that it is not sufficiently necessarily true that we can trust it, under out guidelines for reliable sources. If we are quoting their opinions, it should only be when being discussed specifically as their opinions; that is a different matter than using them for factual claims. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
