Image:Discovery Channel.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used underfair use but there is noexplanation or rationale as to why its use inthis Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page. Thank you.
At the beggining, it seems to be a bit advertisment-ish as it states 'It features thebest in science and technology, nature and adventure programmingall in true HD.' Any suggestions?Ilikepie2221 (talk)21:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for catching this. I agree that the article should be moved. However, I think "1994 Canadian TV channel" implies that the channel only existed in 1994, when the channel actually existed for almost 30 years. I think this should be handled by arequested move where editors can discuss various alternative titles and pick the best one.Toadspike[Talk]09:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be easier just to have this as a historical article, and a new article at USA Canada started with this referenced as a history subarticle instead, for an era in the history of the channel. I think Bravo should also be so handled, with OLN Canada as a subarticle. These have seriously different programming, and different from the specialty licensees that they started with.. --65.92.246.77 (talk)16:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this approach. As apoint of information: Someone has ready created a separateFlavour Network article rather than taking a similar approach with the existingFood Network (Canada) article. I reverted this a few days ago only for the editor to revert it back. I am currently travelling so not in a position to easily do more but wanted to note this somewhere as no one else seems to have noticed this yet. —stickguy (:^›)— ||talk ||01:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This business relationship creates really thorny title problems. There are a few ways to go at this, though they will require retargeting links and not leaving redirects:
The originally proposed disambiguation method. It is true that this (or some other order) would be common in other title areas and that it is not in this topic area. More than 6,000 articles use Infobox television channel. There are four disambiguated by year:BBC Select (1992–1995),TA3 (1991–92),TV6 (1994),RTS 3 (1989-2006). In addition, there is an odd double disambiguator,Factoría de Ficción (TV channel, 2000–2007), that arguably should be just a year. The entries on TA3 and TV6 sorely need a more descriptive disambiguator and I suspect I will be RMing them really soon. The OG BBC Select is such an oddball in concept that any disambiguator would be unusual. And I am unsure how to handle RTS 3 given that the only other topic, one on which an independent article is currently lacking, is a present-day TV channel in the same country. To the instant article, while I think that this is a viable title generally, the fact we are having this dispute here tells me someone would try to move that page. I'd also supportDiscovery Channel (Canada, 1994–2024) withDiscovery Channel (Canada) (everything at the disambiguation for Discovery Channel is a TV channel or named for a TV channel).
Note that I'm not talking about TVstations cases like WBKI-TV above. Call sign titling is its own island.
