WikiProject Cartoon Network is a WikiProject dedicated to improving and expanding the coverage of Cartoon Network-related articles. Cartoon Network is an animation-oriented television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System. Originally debuting in the United States on October 1, 1992, the network has since launched international sister channels under the same brand. This page and its subpages contain, among other things, guidelines, suggestions, article quality information, a member list, a help page, and a list of articles deemed to be within the scope of this project.

Scope

[edit]
  • The project covers all Cartoon Network related-articles, including the main network in the United States and various other networks internationally, such as their original animated series (including Cartoon Cartoons), productions made by Cartoon Network Studios, the Adult Swim programing block (under the Adult Swim task force), and related media. However, we acknowledge and are grateful for the work of other projects in the field, and will reserve the majority of our attention to that content which does not fall within the scope of other active projects.
  • It does not cover off-network shows, anime series and programming outside Cartoon Network (except Powerpuff Girls Z).
  • It does not extend to programming which is purchased by Cartoon Network to air but has no involvement from them or to programming made by Warner Bros. Animation.
  • It has a strict policy against trivia, "...in popular culture" and otherwise crufty issues, either as sections or whole articles.

Guidelines

[edit]

This guideline tries to help editors improve the quality of Wikipedia's articles within scope of Cartoon Network related articles. For Wikipedia guidelines regarding how to write about fiction in general, see Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). These are only guidelines and may be altered depending on current Wikipolicies and/or project participant consensus. Remember, these are guidelines, not policies. Most of these guidelines are accepted as standard practice across Wikipedia. All the standard Wikipedia policies still apply.
