Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. -- Maniwar ( talk) 02:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
should\could someone put prime time back? even though it wasnt that important, it was a block on cartoon network. so it should have some mention. respond or i will put it back. The Legend of G ( talk) 19:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I know of a new Cartoon Network news site and I wanted to put it on the page but I'm sure someone will come along and say I can't. It's a real .com and the news is real. I'm also aware that people tend to ignore the discussion page and I don't feel like waiting until April to respond so I'm going to be adding it on Monday. 70.160.17.246 ( talk) 01:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Are you absolutely certain about that? I happen to know of a bunch of external links here that are definitely not endorsed by said networks or persons. It seems that some links are ok but only if they're either reliable or popular. I understand reliability because that's important but I don't think popularity helps Wikipedia in it's goals. I took a look at "Wikipedia: External Links" and I see no reason why the link shouldn't be ok. I won't harp on this subject because I don't own the site but I'd feel pretty good to help out the webmaster since he's providing a good and reliable source of information. CN Guy ( talk) 15:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

User:53180 made a request on my talk page to move this page back to Cartoon Network (which is currently a disambiguation page). I had recently moved Cartoon Network to Cartoon Network (US) on the request of another user ( User:Treelo) for the reason of naming conventions. Opinions on the matter would be appreciated. ... discospinster talk 21:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Support, But keeping a subsection of CN US in the main article. A M M A R 19:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose moving. I am pretty sure the World Wide Web is actually available in more countries than just the US, English is spoken in several of those other countries, and at least two where English is the primary language ( Australia and the UK) use exactly the same name and logo. It's reasonable to expect that they would expect to type in "cartoon network" and get their version. Why shouldn't we accommodate all English-speaking users equally? They don't tune in to "Cartoon Network UK" - they tune in to Cartoon Network. Isaacsf ( talk) 00:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose I'm with Isaac on this, the cartoon network is in plenty of countries, to the point where I imagine many many more watch a Cartoon Network outside the US than watch within it. The article focuses on the US network so it should retain the disambiguator. Narson ( talk) 16:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Boomerang-logo (CN).gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The critisism shouldn't be put back because it isn't relavant. Yes people complain about the quality (Myself included), but Wikipedia isn't a place to state your opinion. Unless you can provide a relavant internet site (not YouTube Myspace or fansites) it shouldn't be mentioned. Toonami ( talk) 17:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if I should go through the effort to replace the logo in the infobox with the new white one (I have a SVG copy). Pacific Coast Highway { talk • contribs} 00:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Bringing it here before a slow motion revert war begins, should the older logo image be replaced with a SVG image? The SVG is fine if not slightly off in some way I can't place (first guess was that the black letters are too thick leaving no room for the counters) but is it required for a predominantly retired logo? Would like to know why a SVG would be better, I know why they'd be better in general for images which could be rendered in vectors but I'm still not sure where to stand regarding non-free logos which won't be rendered on any article large enough to even get a marginal benefit from the use of a SVG over a bitmap format. So, what's the pulse of this article's editors then? treelo radda 03:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/. While playing the video, the screen bug will appear in the corner. It is normal. When you click on the logo in the upper right hand corner, it is normal. Apparently, they still use the logo so there is no need to replace it. Toonami ( talk) 11:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
This week CN is not showing actions flicks but some of their own programs instead. Now why this does not warrant any need to change the details now it should however be observed for a while to see if there is any need to change this page around when it becomes much clearer that Action Flicks have been removed from CN. - 67.171.250.39 ( talk) 03:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Do we have a list of ratings for CN? Seems like viewership has gone done the past few years but I'd need some proof. Nite Owl II 01:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Yesterday I was watching a new block on Cartoon Network titled "Spring Break 09." But as of 7:00 am this morning, I cannot find it on the network so I am presuming that it is an afternoon block. But I think it is notable enough to mention under the blocks. If I can dig up information on it, then I will mention it here and consult with an administrator about adding it to the list. Toonami ( talk) 11:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was not moved. Aervanath ( talk) 17:10, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Cartoon Network (United States) → Cartoon Network — Cartoon Network is an improper excuse for a disambiguation page. I think, since this is the primary channel, we should move this page to that title, move the disambiguation somewhere within the article (or move it to Cartoon Network (disambiguation)). Anyone agree? ViperSnake151 Talk 17:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Given the amount of vandalistic/misinformation based edits of, well, the last year or so does anyone (or just you, kind and dear reader) feel a short term semi-prot would be a good thing? I figure it's somewhat under control but if the predominant edits to an article are reverts then there is something of a problem. Didn't get the blitz of "CN SUCKS" and other crap like it which is good but the other stuff just seems to get in the way of keeping the article near readable. So, lock it down or not? treelo radda 17:39, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of Toonami in the blocks? Theres obviously too much to talk about with Toonami and it should remain its own article, however, there at least should mention of it. ~ Knighthammer( talk) 14 September 2009
The Cartoon Network logo is no longer in black and white because they change the logo color to white since July, 2008 but it's still the same logo though, but in white. Ricky3374 ( talk) 16:16, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
A lot of things on the article makes it seem as if we were a TV Guide. Remember, please do not add specific times of when a block airs (instead, put night, morning, afternoon, etc.). This is a problem on the article that needs to be fixed. -- Ha dg er 06:44, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Why did you remove the programming logos? The [Adult Swin] logo is there for a long time, but thumbnails of other blocks shouldn't be added? I think all blocks should have logo images, and if you removed those images because of missing description, I fixed them before I added them.

Is Cartoon Network being distributed in high definition anywhere now (2010-01-02)? A Cartoon Network high definition channel (771) became available from Cox Cable in Southern California mid 2009 and then in late 2009 the HDTV channel suddenly switched to the same SDTV feed as the SDTV channel (71) where it remains to this day. The High Definition feed had a few technical problems, to be expected from a new service, but usually came through OK. The HDTV programs were originally shown 3 hours earlier than the SDTV channel but since the switch to the SDTV feed are now simultaneous, although the Cox on-air channel guide still displays the three hour shift. I cannot find anything more about the future plans for CN HD programming or if this present situation will continue indefinitely. There is nothing about this on the CN or the Adult Swim websites. Does anyone have a source of inside information? Aldebaran66 ( talk) 03:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
It would be good to separate the things about logos and graphics into a new section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 17:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Agree. I think that except the change of logo in 2004, the other things of graphics aren`t too important in the article, another example of unecesary things is the "Get Animated" thing. 190.247.121.78 ( talk) 6:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
In a section of Cartoon Networks Wikipedia page, it reads "Since its launch, the channel has always been broadcasting 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The network's first theme was the Checkerboard theme with bumpers involving the Cartoon Network's first logo, cartoon characters, and the show's logo. The Checkerboard theme lasted until Cartoon Network received its makeover on July 7, 1997."' The Checkerboard theme ended on July 17, not July 7.

In this article, I was struck by the sentence, "most of the classic programming no longer airs, with the exception of Tom and Jerry, Sccoby-Doo, Where Are You?, and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo." I know Tom and Jerry is still on, but I haven't seen the other two on CN in quite a while. Moreover, if you go to cartoonnetwork.com, they are not listed in the "shows" list. Thus, I think the Scooby-Doo shows should be removed from that sentence. HannaBarberaFanatic ( talk) 23:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
On a promo on Cartoon Network, it says that new episodes of its comedy series will begin to air on Mondays starting April 5. Since this will more than likely become the new night for a comedy block, will Cartoon Network be cancelling Har Har Tharsdays finally? Bgnkid ( talk) 15:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Under "Refurbishing," it says:
"A Nood paints on a parental advisory warning for Adult Swim. There is also a sign-on bumper consisting of a Nood painting the Cartoon Network background on. Then, two others bring in the Cartoon Network logo."
I Googled the word, yet find no definition. We should either include the definition, or change the word to something everyone understands. 99.130.180.105 ( talk) 04:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
I think this page should be moved to Cartoon Network. The channel originated in the U.S., so shouldn't this article be moved? 99.19.95.52 ( talk) 00:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Um, excuse me, but I believe the logo has changed on Cartoon Network, and yet you snots don't have it changed on the Cartoon Network page. This better get fixed or I'm tellin' the big man.- Bonkers ( talk)
In your article about 2000s changes, it says when Jim Samples resigned, he had been network president for thirteen years. Wasn't he only president for five years? (from 2002 through 2007?)
