I believe a consensus should be reached before a removal like this with no edit summary explaining why. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 23:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring needs to stop between @Akandkur & @47.230.152.9 . @Wcquidditch needs to have final say on this matter. We can’t have the constant back and fourth, it’s gone on for the better part of a week. Lets come together and be constructive. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 16:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see @Neiltonks accepted a revision by a brand new anonymous account, regarding the same exact image Here, that has been at the center of edit wars recently. Why has this change been a back and fourth everyday as of late? The amount of edits over thing single file has been ten fold. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 19:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Funding?[edit]

How much, and what percentage, of PBS's budget is funded by government, meaning tax dollars? Also why is this fact not placed prominently in the Lede? Here because I notice Youtube's "dislaimer" on PBS says "PBS is an American public broadcast service." but does not mention government funding, and this Article is linked to this disclaimer (whatever the correct term is). I notice other state-funded media agencies have their government funding stated obviously on both Youtube, and in their respective Wikipedia Articles, but PBS does not for some, probably coincidental, reason.2603:8081:3A00:30DF:185A:641C:551E:EB9E (talk) 11:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
