[edit] Fanpage

Reads like a fanpage - need cleanup. Davodd 02:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

didn't seem that bad to me. I cleaned up the "rankin/bass today" section, renamed "along came rudolph" section to just "rudolph", and removed the npov and cleanup tags. -- Akb4 19:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Coker, Jr.?

No mention of the principal designer for most of the classic Christmas specials? DarkAudit 19:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] production list split

I think it'd be good if the cel animated and stop-motion animated productions were differentiated. -- Akb4 19:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Filmography?

Some of the movie links at the bottom don't actually point to the listed at the bottom don't point to the appropriate pages. "Twas the night before christmas" for example points to the poem instead of to a page about the Rankin/Bass film. There are other examples of this too.

[edit] Rankin/Bass logos

I can understand wanting to keep the 1975 Rankin/Bass logo to help in the description of this article, but why remove the other logos (including the 1966 Videocraft logo) when they are just as useful in describing the company's history? Starbuck-2 21:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Showing logos falls under fair use as it is; simply showing a group of logos doesn't qualify. —tregoweth (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Perhaps we could at least keep the Videocraft logo to include in the section on Rankin/Bass' origins, then. Starbuck-2 23:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
    • That would probably be okay; what should be avoided is just a gallery of logos (closing logo fans can get carried away sometimes...) —tregoweth (talk) 02:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
