Name Change from 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. to 4Licensing Corporation

4kids entertainment has changed its name again. http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=8990367-1208-18945&type=sect&dcn=0001140361-12-052927

Pursuant to the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (“4Kids”) and its domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), which became effective on December 21, 2012, on December 21, 2012, 4Kids changed its state of incorporation from the State of New York to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) by the merger of 4Kids with and into 4Licensing Corporation (“4Licensing”), a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of 4Kids, with 4Licensing as the surviving corporation. As referred to herein, the “Company” means 4Kids prior to the Reincorporation and 4Licensing upon and following the Reincorporation. The Reincorporation was accomplished by filing (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of 4Licensing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) on December 19, 2012, (ii) the Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “DE Certificate of Merger”) on December 21, 2012 and (iii) the Certificate of Merger with the Department of State of the State of New York (the “NY Certificate of Merger”) on December 21, 2012. Upon the effective time of the Reincorporation, the Company’s name became “4Licensing Corporation” and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of 4Licensing as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation became the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company. The trading symbol for the Company’s common stock will change as a result of the name change.

4Licensing Corporation → 4Kids Entertainment – Most current RS’s use the 4Kids name, compared to 4Licensing. Also, the company is now dead, so there is no need to keep the old name anymore. ColorTheoryRGB CMYK 04:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluation of sources

Overall after review, the sources used seem to be fair in terms of use and Wikipedia page does acknowledge when a person is sharing their opinion on a situation, as well as the links working well and linking to specific time stamps that make reviewing these sources and their bias relatively easy, making it so that this article is in fact fitting with Wikipedia's guidelines.
