Hi
Saw your note in my talk page. Let me welcome you again to wikipedia. If you have any questions for me, ask in my talk page or here (i have watchlisted your talk page, so i will be notified of any changes happening here). I chose the FCC/children's programming topic to mentor because i am somewhat fascinated by a central regulator wielding the mallet over TV programming and wanted to learn more about it. (In India, we have a more draconian, but loosely implemented media censorship setup, but nothing that comes close to FCC). I hope by mentoring your group, i will get to learn more about the subject, while you learn about editing wikipedia. I am mostly online between 0300 and 1800 UTC. (I am about 11 hours ahead of EST/CST) --Sodabottle (talk) 10:38, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Article
Hello Jared,

Your team member Chris has started on your assignment already - FCC regulations on children’s programming :-). He has done done an impressive initial job. I have made a few minor modifications to it.

A few things you can do are:


 * 1) Watchlist the article (if you haven't done it already). This can be done by clicking on the star shaped icon in the top menu (present to the right of "history"). This will add the article to your watchlist and when you load the watchlist page will display the latest change made to the article
 * 2) Try coordinating your work (research, sources, formatting etc) with your other team members in the article's talk page. This way the history of how the page developed (arguments, rationale, compromises etc) will get documented.--Sodabottle (talk) 08:55, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I have also added a few suggestions in the article talk page--Sodabottle (talk) 09:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Word document citing
Treat it as any other web link (html or pdf) and Use the cite web template as follows.

Good work
Its nice to see the page developing well :-). BTW, the NYT reference you added, is pointing to a page listing all articles by lawrie mifflin. Can you please add a specific url to the article in question (or is behind the nyt paywall?). --Sodabottle (talk) 19:31, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Nice Find
Ahhh yeah I took a weird tangent and was reading about the author of the article yesterday ha. Don't know how the links got messed up :) Schmeic4 (talk) 20:34, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Image
Hi,

That image of children watching TV is copyrighted. It is from a 1950 book. So it cannot be uploaded to wikipedia. There are usually some fair use exceptions to this, but for applying fair use rationale, we need this image to be described or mentioned explicitly within the text of the article. Since this is a generic illustration of children watching TV, we cannot use this.

If you want a generic image of children watching TV, i found one with compatible copyright licence.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
