There's an error in the description of the British ratings:
- Take, for example, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, which features a background striptease, getting the PG rating. It was originally rated an A (which would be a 15 certificate today).
Wrong. The BBFC ratings were originally U (everybody), A (most everybody, but adults advised to think whether this is really suitable for their children) and X (adults only). Sometime in the early 1970s was introduced AA (suitable for adults and older teenagers only), which the above troper seems to have confused with A. Then sometime after 1982, three of the ratings were renamed; A to PG, AA to 15, and X to 18. Their scopes didn't change, just the names. Thus an A rating originally (e.g. TRON) would be a PG rating today.

Radar Systems and Media Classifications seem to cover a lot of the same ground, can we merge both tropes and then rebuild a better structure for it? Splits for video/tv/film classifications by country to make the article a bit more, i don't know.. managable?
this signature is currently out of order, I will be punished for this.
I noticed in at least one non-U.S. entry that a U.S. bias regarding what sort of content is harmful to children was inserted. Obviously different countries approach this issue with different POV’s, with a number of European countries going lighter on sex then violence and some go lighter on both when it comes to high school age teens compare to the U.S. giving the limited research on the subject of kids and/or teens exposure to sex and violence, this has become a heavily debated topic, without strong evidence available at this time come to definitive conclusion. As such, I would recommend that while it’s fair to point out that in countries like the U.S., U.K., or Australia, they take a much more restrictive attitude towards what is suitable for kids and teens to watch, especially with regard to sex and nudity, we should not state that countries like France, Netherlands, Sweden, etc. are harming children because they allow them to see in theaters films restricted the U.S. and other english speaking countries, since that is unproven.
