    Fixed.
  • I made a few adjustments to the lead myself. Nothing major.
    No problem. Thanks.
  • The rest of the article seems fine.
  • How about adding some images?
  • Done, easier than I thought it would be.

Thanks for the feedback, and for your time in reviewing this article. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

The second-such award for Sesame Street articles. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:26, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

A warm congrats from me! I was naturally leaning towards support but I did wonder if a merge would be better..♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:12, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Doc. Like I said in the FAC, I'm not unopposed to merging this article into Educational goals of Sesame Street. The consensus seemed to support the status quo, though, of keeping it as a short and separate article. Tell ya what: in the next few days, I'll create a sandbox with the merged content and see what people think. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 14:45, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Draft of new Goals article

edit

As per the discussion above, I went ahead and created a new sandbox, for the purpose of seeing how the content of this article would look folded into Educational goals of Sesame Street. Here it is: User:Figureskatingfan/Sesame Street Sandbox 2 I think we should discuss it on its talk page, so I invite interested parties to do so. I'll go on the record that if there's enough consensus, I'm fine with going forward and folding the content here into the Goals article.

History of Format Changes

edit

This article's account of the history of Sesame Street's changes kind of dribbles out. It's true that Elmo's World returned to Sesame Street in 2017, but the format of Elmo's World had also changed. The show's format has changed dramatically since the beginning of 2016, when it moved HBO. this should be reflected in the article, but it's more work than I'm up to, and I'm terrible at wiki citations.

@Tyrekecorrea:, I agree completely. Actually, all the Sesame Street articles need updating and in some cases, major improvements. It's gonna take a lot of work, though, and really should be done before the show's 50th anniversary. As we get closer to that, the show will be in the news more. I understand all that, but I'm currently working on other articles with similar deadlines. My hope is that I get both the motivation and time to tackle it in the coming months. In the meantime, perhaps someone else will step up. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 06:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
