An apparent cancellation
[edit]I'm reading this and I'm figuring "oh, so this is cancelled now? Where did you get that?" The best I get is some comment from Craig McCracken on DeviantArt which says nothing about cancellation, only that there's been budgetary cutbacks. So, why is this article in past tense when there's nothing official or otherwise to suggest cancellation? Bad sourcing isn't an excuse to basically make outlandish assumptions based on gut feeling. If there's something missing which says as a statement that yes, the project is canned then add it, right now I can't even trust this article to know its ass from its elbow. treelo radda 15:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- We don't have sources that would qualify under WP:RS, but there are a few blogs that have been posted about this. One blog I do consider "reliable" (in terms of information, not what Wikipedia would call "reliable") is Joe Murray's blog. I'll try to not add my personal analysis to this comment, and end it here.

- Yea, bad karma to reply to yourself. [1] hints at what I was alluding to above. Again, nothing sourcable, but something to keep an eye out for. Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- If allusions and hints are the only thing making this article what it is then I suspect a whole lot of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH going on to bolster assumptions teased strand by strand from unverifiable sources (though some are reliable). Either get some verifiable sourcing into the article or change the tense back to future or present tense, one must happen. treelo radda 22:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Part of the comment states that "The reason we only produced 14 out of 39 shorts? Remember that thing that happened to the economy, lots of people losing their money and funding..." So that's where the idea it got cancelled came from. Also, at the time, he also stated "Right now the Cartoonstitute shorts are just sitting on shelf at CN and honestly I have no idea what the Network plans to do with them. I suggested that they air them all one night, or put them up online but who knows if they'll decide to do that." As you can probably guess, they took his advice about putting the shorts online. --UBracter (talk) 13:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I gathered, not exactly the best suggestion but still, part cancellation isn't the full cancellation alluded to in the article at points. treelo radda 13:41, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Success/Flop
[edit]Rather than a success/flop column, shouldn't it be "Picked up as a series" - Yes or No? The current formatting seems informal. 94.192.45.239 (talk) 18:52, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
