It may be, but I changed as much as possible, so that essentially everything, less the quote is fresh. - Zanimum
Removed:
SOURCE Maclean's June 17, 1996; Author: JOE CHIDLEY with SHOWWEI CHU, SHARON DOYLE DRIEDGER and DAN HAWALESHKA in Toronto
And added a link to the article Tomos found. The "SOURCE" attribution made it look like Zanimum was plagiarizing the article, which is not the case. --Nate 05:56 Dec 24, 2002 (UTC)
Thanks, Nate. I think that's a good solution.

[edit] Failed nomination for Version 0.5
The nomination has failed. This article is only a Start-Class, and I have never heard of it before. Eyu100 03:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed claim
I removed this from this entry - its citation is to a fan website that contains other info of questionable quality and no source citations.
- The name of the sinking ship on the 1960's sitcom Gilligan's Island was inspired by Minow's speech. Gilligan creator Sherwood Schwartz insisted that Minow had "ruined television."
[edit] Removal of critique
I removed it because it is Original Research. We are not an editorial site, but an encyclopedia.--Toffile 02:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unwarranted Removal of critique
The information upon which the article was based came from wikipedia TV listings for May 9, 1961. This is not opinion but fact. Minow said "wasteland" referring to content which, I demonstrated, was anything but waste matter.
Put it back.
