Recent edit to Canned Film Festival
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Canned Film Festival without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Michael Yudin and myself were the principals of Chelsea Communication and Executive Producers of the series. Brian McConnachie was the writer and helped develop it. These are facts. We all received appropriate credits in each show. Chelsea was acquired By LBS Communications, also no longer in business. I have no idea where the Adelphi acquisition line come from. Also, the reference to the series as a "failed series" is subjective editorializing and does not belong in a Wikipedia piece. 


 * Jefflawenda: I wanted to let you know that I reviewed your claims of Jeff Lawenda and Michael Yudin as executive producers of  The Canned Film Festival, and have found them to be valid.  The infobox of the Wikipage was assembled back in 2008 using information from the end credits only; not the opening credits where the executive producers were listed.  Adjustments have been made to the page, and LBS communications was also added as the distributors.  Claims of who currently owns the rights to the show should probably be left as-is for now (Y&R, Chelsea, and LBS) unless the show is re-broadcast somewhere official, or DVDs are made commercially available.  Until then, any changes would likely steer away from Wikipedia neutrality guidelines.  Also:  I took into account the language of "failed series", and agree with you that it was subjective language.  "Failed" in this sense was intended to convey that a second season was under consideration, but never produced; as evidenced by the solicitation for viewer input by Dr. Pepper for future "best of the worst" movie episodes.  In retrospect, this should not have suggested that "failed" meant that the series was somehow a failure.  Instead, I have suggested the word "curtailed" to indicated successful, but without a finite series finale.  I hope this agrees with your editorial opinion.  For future talk about The Canned Film Festival Wikipedia page, I invite you to head to the article Talk page, and post your suggestions and discussions there.  Your input is most welcome.  Thanks!
