Talk:BabyFirst

Trims
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 indiscriminate list (or moved to a List article if you prefer). 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)

Draft
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)

Recent edit
According to 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 here. Someone 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)
