==censored and spam==

How is Spam an accurate term for posting facts? It is ok to edit wiki, I make no claims to my talents as a writer, however I ask that you allow FACTS to remain. Relevance is relative. Here are the other articles mentioned by Jacqui, most contributions are unpopular, however all are true and most have managed to remain and expand, despite repeated removal:

Travel and Adventure missing in the list of channels!

Travel and Adventure is not one of their US channels. Mhking 03:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

AIP

Soo... this is my first AIP. I'm looking at this article and thinking that the lead section is too long. What else needs to be fixed this week? Jacqui 03:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

  • My first also. I feel that the the Censored and Diversity sections have no meaning to the article. They aren't really takling about Discovery Channel, rather about productions done by the Discovery Channel. RENTASTRAWBERRY röck 03:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps they could be worked into some sort of more generic section on programming created about current events? The Discovery Channel does do a good deal of those, but I don't know why the individual one on this page deserves its own attention. Jacqui 03:19, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree. As part of a long article they might fit but now it's like a set of monster truck tires on a beetle: they don;t fit and you can't get anywhere as long as they're there. Coll7 06:24, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
By the way, regarding the Censored section, I checked who contributed that and also what other things they had contrubuted, and they had mostly spammed other entries with the same paragraph (or similar). I'm going to take that one out now. If anyone comes by later who disagrees with the three of us so far, revert me and we'll talk more here.

censored and spam

How is Spam an accurate term for posting facts? It is ok to edit wiki, I make no claims to my talents as a writer, however I ask that you allow FACTS to remain. Relevance is relative. Here are the other articles mentioned by Jacqui, most contributions are unpopular, however all are true and most have managed to remain and expand, despite repeated removal: Paul A. Bonacci Gary Caradori Bunnatine Greenhouse Conspiracy of Silence Yorkshire Television The Franklin Coverup David H. Safavian

Idea

I'm going to go to bed now and come back and do some of this later, but I just thought of the fact that we can use "what links here" to see what other articles link here, and what they say about TDC. That information may be helpful for us. Jacqui 07:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

official name?

What exactly is the official name of the network? Is it TDC, Discovery, or Discovery Communications, inc.? Also about the sub-networks, should we include a brief line or two about it or just link to that network's page? Gflores 00:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

The offical name is Discovery Channel, as seen on their official site.
