Comment

Sorry...wikipedia doesn't allow that to give personal information. Was Haim Saban one of the co-founders of DIC animation corporation? DIC (DiC Entertainment ) is the world's 2nd largest animation producer, based in a number of countries like Luxembourg, the USA, France, Italy, Spain and Japan. Saban with former co-employee Andy Heyward now the CEO of CBS television, was in the early days of DIC. They created memorable cartoons like Inspector Gadget, the Littles and Seven Cities of Gold in the 1980s. If it weren't for Saban and his creative genius, TV animation won't survive into the 1990's and today (of course, Disney and Warner Bros. fare better, then DiC under Saban's management proved his worth). Before Saban left DIC, he helped Marathon, a France-based animation firm and Cartoon Network studios under media mogul Ted Turner get in agreement with DIC. Saban and Turner made successful cartoon serieses together: Captain Planet and the Planeteers taught children on environmental issues in the early 1990's. 207.200.116.195 07:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

requesting semi protection

how? Quatreryukami 16:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki project Texas???

Why is he in this project? He lives in California. The only connection is that hev egave money to Bush. I gave money to politicians in the US heartland. Does that make me a member of the Heartland??? Dogru144 05:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially problematic tag in Univision article

I was led to this page from the Univision article. It referred to Saban as a Jewish-Egyptian billionaire. Is this insensitive? Is the Jewish adjective intended to distinguish him from Muslims? Why do we identify people as Jews? I don't recall people mentioning Ted Turner's religion. Dogru144 05:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of Haim Saban

Here a link with the history of Haim Saban[1] Powergate92Talk 23:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Could someone please add the correct pronunciation of his name? For years I was pronouncing his sir name "Sah-baun". But I watch the segment from The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart pronounced his name as "High'm Say-bin". So what is it? Sarujo (talk) 04:16, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On an episode of MMPR Richard Genelle that played Ernie said in the bloopers "Thanks, Haim (High'm)." Cra sh Underride 22:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

O-kay that's for the given name. How about the sir name? Sarujo (talk) 18:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the pronunciation of his name in Hebrew and how Larry King pronounced the surname, I would pronounce it as /hɑːˈiːm səˈbɑːn/.

Pronunciation

Can someone add ^{[needs IPA]} after his name written in Hebrew script?

Picture

Why doesn't this article have a picture of Haim? It should be fairly easy to get one. In fact: Bam. Here's a picture for the page. (It's from 2009, that's as recent as I could find that didn't have Haim making a goofy-ass face in it.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordAwesome123 (talk • contribs) 12:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a picture to an article isn't just a copy-paste thing. A proper photo needs to be uploaded to the wiki server first, but most importantly there must be a proof that it complies with all the copyrights requirements. Yambaram (talk) 00:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Political Views and Fundraising

Someone needs to add that he contributed 1,000,000$ USD to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2015, and his wife did the same thing with the same amount.

Needs citation

"Saban has also made donations to members of the Republican Party including a 2003 contribution to George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign.[5]"

5 refers to the New York times article, but there is nothing in this article which contains the quoted information. Searches of "Republican" "Bush" "Donat" and "Re-elec" turn up nothing. I almost forwarded this information on mistakenly. Please determine where this information comes from.
