Talk:The Now Explosion
 | This article has not yet been rated on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. |
I composed the article: "The Now Explosion Music Video Program - 1970" last October. I have no experience in work of this type and am very confused about what is necessary to clean up this article. I am completely uninformed regarding the science of archiving information. I am hoping that someone with an interest in early music television (1970) will offer some help and work with me to make this contribution conform to the encyclopedic principles required (about which I am a complete novice and am likely to remain so challenged.) Someone who is interested may like to follow the links in the article to the Now Explosion web page, to the Atlanta Constitution feature articles or to the University of Georgia archives to get a feel for the value of this information. I don't even understand whether I should be typing this sort of appeal into this page. If someone will give me some guidance, I will appreciate it very much. - Robert Whitney (rvw@aol.com).Bobwhitney 05:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- I recommend reading WP:MOS for some guidance to what "cleanup" means in the Wikipedia context. Good luck! --Alvestrand 09:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

NOTE Submitted with Uploaded Summary Author: Robert V. Whitney personally wrote this historical summary of the 1970, nationally syndicated music video program, The New Explosion, which he created and produced in 1970. In feature articles appearing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2000 and 2001, the Now Explosion was proclaimed the forerunner of MTV and VH1 ten years before these music video networks appeared . The articles are cited in the summary. The archives of the University of Georgia located remnants of the vintage programming in South Florida in 2000. This video - recently remastered and digitized - is now maintained in a collection at The Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Archives at UGA in Athens, GA. The uploaded summary reviews the origin and history of this early music video programming and points to a web site containing memorabilia, photos and video from the program: http://www.thenowexplosion.net.
