plagiarism? Plagiarism?

I reworded the section in question so it would no longer be a copyright violation. --Cab88 19:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Bloopers

The article says that an episode of Reading Rainbow is the only authorized airing of TNG bloopers. But if I remember correctly there was a Star Trek special aired in 1999 with Jason Alexander that showed TNG bloopers. Can anyone confirm that? --Quietpeoplerock 22:51, August 3, 2006 (UTC)

LeVar Leaving

LeVar Burton spoke at Penn State on Monday 29-January-07 where he stated that the new company in charge of Reading Rainbow had differing views of how the series should proceed. He went on to inform us that he was leaving the show and had already shot the last episode. I don't know whether thats enough of a source for somebody to change the article or if you need more. 0900, January 31, 2007

However, the show will continue to be in reruns. 66.153.66.236 00:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Readingrainbow logo.GIF

Image:Readingrainbow logo.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The logo is fair use as if you check where the funding comes from mostly public funds. Wikipedia is indeed a not for profit and for educational purposes which is a perfect application of fair use. Landerman56 00:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the two logos

Shouldn't it be 2000-2007? Because the older logo was still used prior to 2000.

[edit] No new episodes??

This article says things that imply there are no new episodes for 2008; however, there's no asterisk next to this show's name in the PBS Kids template. What does this mean?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for article
