Making some changes and hopefully previous RWBY seasons and episodes

Can add the old NBC peacock logo and also some existing RWBY media? we want it. Sawbrimedline (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Logo

The logo discussion should mention the Nebraska Public Media (current name, not the name then) suit as discussed on the Wikipedia page for Nebraska Public Media. Kdammers (talk) 18:48, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Addressing how the full name is used

@Rasptae You keep removing "the" from the lead when NBC's full name is used in a sentence. It is incorrect. "The" is how it's addressed:

• NBCUniversal itself calls it "the National Broadcasting Company" when used in a sentence: https://www.nbcuniversal.com/history/1920
• An article from WIRED also addresses it the same way: https://www.wired.com/2010/09/0909rca-creates-nbc/
• The Library of Congress does so as well: https://guides.loc.gov/nbc

No one calls it "National Broadcasting Company" without the "the", it's not up to you to call it "redundant" because you feel that way because every source will include "the" when the full name is used. Please take a look at History of NBC, NBC Radio Network and Blue Network to see the company's full name addressed correctly. Limmidy (talk) 20:13, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

@Limmidy, thanks for your thorough research on the topic and clarifying it for me

An article "the" is used with any names which contain such terms as "Company", "Corporation", or "System" (ABC, BBC, or CBS). But it seems this rule should've been applied to other entities as well, for example, CNN or CNBC, isn't it so?

P.S. Don't you find odd that NBCUniversal itself calls it "Corporation" instead of "Company" in the introductory line of the article you've provided me with ("The Birth of the National Broadcasting Corporation")? Rasptae (talk) 15:43, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

There isn't a "rule" because each company is different. As for CNN and CNBC, they technically should have "the" in the lead, so not sure why it's not there because I clearly see it being used later in the article.

As for NBCUniversal using "Corporation", not that odd - the image under it clearly shows "Company". Limmidy (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
