From a press kit released by Alliance when ReBoot was renewed for its second season:
“ | ReBoot is a co-production between Alliance Communications and BLT Productions and is produced in association with ABC, YTV and Meridien. | ” |
Is "produced in association with" the USA company ABC enough to be able to say "Canadian and American production"? Certainly the only actual production [i]work[/i] was done at Mainframe Entertainment in Vancouver, BC, Canada. But we also know that without ABC in the deal, MFE was unable to continue production on the series. And "producer credits" are often all about money. Jeh ( talk) 08:04, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Tenebrae: what do you think about the above? Jeh ( talk) 20:55, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
I recently removed ReBoot Revival as a source because it doesn’t seem to meet WP:RS. This was reverted. ReBoot Eevival appears to be a self-published fan-site, and I’m unable to find any information on the site about the person or people who run it. I could say I got a letter from the showrunners and be just as credible. What exactly makes this source reliable for Wikipedia’s needs? — 67.14.236.193 ( talk) 12:18, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
The site and the admin are both well known in the ReBoot fandom—our readers may not be in the fandom. If you know who the admin is and what makes him an expert on the subject, please share, because that information needs to be readily accessible. — 67.14.236.193 ( talk) 15:39, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Regarding who he is and why anything he says should be considered valid, I found this: Zeros 2 Heroes - The People's Publisher - The Real Heroes It's from 2007 when he was working with Zeros 2 Heroes and Rainmaker in the initial attempt to bring the series back.

No, his name isn't on the site because he uses the screenname "GlitchBob" on the website and on the site's Twitter account. As for his reliability, I don't see why you don't try contact him yourself. He obviously worked with Rainmaker in the past, and has connections to the co-creators and former staff that worked on ReBoot. At this point though, I'm done trying. Can't seem to please anyone here, or somehow provide something that meets Wikipedia's ridiculously strict regulations. If you want to remove all traces of the site ever being used as a source all across Wikipedia, fine. But be aware that those "citation needed" edits will remain as such if his site is the only source with that information. Cloud S ( talk) 00:33, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
