I removed a bunch of info in bulk, as it was either unsourced, or long lines of opinions only represtenting a single point of view. Plus, the article ignores the entire syndication industry that existed before FOX.

I'm not sure what you mean by "largely unsourced", as the entire paragraph you removed was completely sourced with inline citations, and the article currently has 30 inline citations. All you did
here was add citation needed tags to material which was already cited. And all you did with
the next edit was remove a sourced paragraph under the claim of NPOV. The edit summary stated Sorry, but overly negative quotes, even if widely held, quoted with no rebuttle [sic] do NOT count as NPOV. What rebuttal is there? Who was claiming that no fourth network was needed? I've never read that. Unless cited material which rebuts the claim can be made, the POV tag and partial blanking are unnecessary.
Also, why did you
blank your message here after writing it? I can't very well respond to a blank page, but the tag you left on the top of the article states "The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved".

Sorry but having read the original article I can't see where the comments around NPOV or overly negative or largely unsourced come from. The original article was a very good introduction to the topic - as I read it fact based based on sourced material. I did not - and still can not find any overly negative aspects or single point of view in the topic. If Suddenly there is a valley thinks otherwise, they would be better adding to the article, rather than criticising the contents.

Thanks for weighing in, Richard. I've restored the original text for now. I'm open to reworking material that may be POV or inaccurate (feel free to modify as needed), but the paragraph that was removed was fully sourced; I've asked Mr. Suddenly for an explanation, but he hasn't edited since the POV tag was added a month ago. The edits immediately preceding the tagging were a little erratic, so for now I've restored the text.

I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Fourth television network's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

I am not sure why there is a need to add any thing about Fox past the 1994 NFL coup & station realignment as that seems to be the point were they clearly are the 4th TV network. --
