Universal
AFI does not support the contention that the production entitty is Universal Studios and the distributins one of Universal Pictures. Tese are both same for the same compnay, which changed its name over the course of time. Please do not change the names unless you have a source for doing so, preferably the authoritative AFI catalog. BMK (talk) 08:17, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, if you'[re going to add an explanatory note to an article, such as the ones you've been adding lointing out that Loew's Inc was the parent compnay of MGM, you need to differentiate that note from the ordinary citations in the References section, otherwise the reader doesn't know which "1" he or she is supposed to read. My preferred method is to do an "Explanatory notes" section followed by a "Citations" section, although there are other ways to describe this, and these are preferred by other editors.  IN any case, though, some way of differentiating them needs to be used. BMK (talk) 08:30, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Snake read, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Mother Knows Best (film) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:13, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
