Well done on this. I know it was transferred from the main article, so there were more involved. It's a good read and balances heavy facts with curious details and quotes, and has a goldilocks balance on use of citations. I made a few small edits (forgot to sign in). Too tired to have a look at the quote templates.--] 19:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Well done on this. I know it was transferred from the main article, so there were more involved.

==Encyclopeadia Britannica Films==

I don't understand why in either article (the main one or this one), there is no mention of the filmmaking arm of this company. I greatly enjoyed watching the films they made when I was in school and most everyone who was in any grammar school up to the 1990's certainly viewed several of them at some point.

Quote template?

Hi all, I've been experimenting with {{cquote}} and {{bquote}} for this article; which one looks better? Should we also try {{rquote}}? Open to any and all ideas, Willow 21:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


Fine article

Well done on this. I know it was transferred from the main article, so there were more involved. It's a good read and balances heavy facts with curious details and quotes, and has a goldilocks balance on use of citations. I made a few small edits (forgot to sign in). Too tired to have a look at the quote templates.--Shtove 19:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopeadia Britannica Films

I don't understand why in either article (the main one or this one), there is no mention of the filmmaking arm of this company. I greatly enjoyed watching the films they made when I was in school and most everyone who was in any grammar school up to the 1990's certainly viewed several of them at some point.
