"The General Motors of animation" / Two Thirds line

Completely new at this, but I caught this and figured I would let more experienced wiki editors decide on how to handle it.

The "Referred to as "The General Motors of animation", Hanna-Barbera eventually went even further by producing nearly two-thirds of all Saturday-morning cartoons in a single year." line under the Mysteries, spinoffs, and more (1969–1979) caught my eye, just because that's a lot and it wasn't all that specific and didn't have a source. After a google search, I found it's from Joe's book My Life in ’Toons, p.55, which is on the Internet archive. I don't know about copying text wholesale from the book, but what's actually written is closer to "...and at one point we were responsible for something like 70 percent of all the cartoons on TV in a year". From what I can tell, one person just paraphrased from the book and other websites have copied it as being correct and this has wound up on Wikipedia. 96.46.10.2 (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Is" or "Was"

Im doing some copyediting on the lede, and was wondering if "is an American animation studio..." is appropriate? From reading the article, the company (and studio) seem to no longer functionally exist, with only the name persisting in use by Warner Bros as a sort of brand. Should it be changed to "was"? gompk 10:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Almost 100% of the entire human population pronounces "Barbera" as "BarBERa" with emphasis on the second syllable, not like "Barbara", with emphasis on the first syllable. The very link used as the source for the "BARbera" pronunciation, says "barBERa", not "BARbera". I have found ZERO videos on YouTube of anyone saying "BARbera", and EVERY video I've seen of people talking about Joseph Barbera, or even talking TO him, has pronounced his last name as "BarBERa". Yet, not only is the pronunciation listed ONLY as "BARbera", it doesn't even list "barBERa" as an alternative, despite the fact that very FEW people pronounce it the way this article suggests is the correct pronunciation. 82.14.94.57 (talk) 21:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
