Talk:TV program format

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I moved the following material from the article to here:

A definition of a TV Progam format could be the next: "...The frame or the structure of (cross)mediale expression in which the each time returning (characteristic) elements have been fixed, which builds to a distinctive and result-oriented contact with the target group. On basis of which the balanced mix of content, entertainment and interaction (repeatedly) can be produced...." [source: Daphne Dijkerman, January 2006]

  1. It's not clear who Daphne Dijkerman is, and why her view on TV Program formats is important;
  2. It appears to have been machine-translated from the Dutch Wikipedia article, and doesn't make much sense in English;
  3. It appears to have been copied from here.

I think the above points need addressing before the text can get placed back in. --BillC 23:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


Text similar to the above has again been added to the article without discussion here. Let me re-iterate the questions above. In addition:

  1. A blog is not considered a reliable source for the purposes of citing information in Wikipedia.
  2. It makes no distinction between this individual's opinion and what might be a commonly accepted definition of a format.

Please discuss this here on the talk page before adding it back again. Thank you. --BillC 17:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
