Talk:BabyFirst

I'll be helping bring this article up to Wikipedia's standards on BabyFirst's behalf while following WP:COI. I haven't researched or constructed any draft content yet, but first I wanted to suggest some cleanup to make room for encyclopedic material. In particular, the entire bottom half of the article from "Thinking Journey (Yellow)" to "Former Shows" I think can be removed as an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_Not_%28Organizations%29#Directory_information_and_indiscriminate_lists indiscriminate list] (or moved to a List article if you prefer). [http://www.babyfirsttv.com/tv/programs This] is a more appropriate place for readers to find a list of shows.

Also, the company now goes by just "BabyFirst" without the "TV" in their name, so I'd suggest we move the article appropriately. Pinging User:Crisco 1492, as I often defer to him on article naming matters. CorporateM (Talk) 20:53, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

• Done both. I would have done the first one without prompting had I come across this on my own. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:22, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{edit COI/answered1}}

I've prepared a draft GAN-ready article at User:CorporateM/BabyFirst. I was hoping a disinterested editor would consider incorporating the draft if they feel it would be an improvement for Wikipedia and its readers. In comparison to the current article, the proposed replacement:

• Documents the debate about whether exposing babies to television is healthy (currently missing from the article entirely)
• Incorporates several factual corrections. The current list of investors is incorrect. I have not found any sources regarding the channel being "briefly replaced with BabyTV"
• Trims a lot of trivial information, such as pricing (per WP:NOPRICE), primary or unsourced content, etc. I tried to focus on its expansion into TV networks that have secondary sources (there are about 40 channels the station airs on and we can't reasonably list them all)
• General improvements in sourcing and content (current article does not have a single strong secondary source)

If there's any way I can help make further improvements or questions about the draft, let me know! CorporateM (Talk) 04:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

:As there has been no discussion in over a week, I've completed this requested edit. After a second and third read-through I found no controversial material, and the article adheres to our polices as best I can tell. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 11:23, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

:: Note, there were broken refs, removal of categories, removal of navbox templates, use of & instead of just &, accessibility issues, and other minor problems. Bgwhite (talk) 07:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

{{edit COI|A}}

According to [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-146996029.html Rocky Mountain News], Bellco Capital, Regency Enterprises and Kardan were BabyFirst's early investors, which is probably why they were listed as owners in the Infobox. They are also listed as current investors [http://www.babyfirsttv.com/about/investors here]. Someone [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BabyFirst&diff=625829626&oldid=624230842 changed] the listed owners to Ride On, Cerberus Capital Management and RTL Group without a source. Can someone revert it back to the correct owners confirmed by reliable sources? CorporateM (Talk) 17:45, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

:Done. I notice that the editor who changed that is on final warning so it might not have have been a good-faith edit. Coretheapple (talk) 21:15, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
