Supermarket Sweep

I assume that Geauga TV crap was what you had in mind? Lambertman 16:34, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah -- what's up with that, anyway? Amnewsboy 01:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia user page conduct

What's up? -- cds^(talk) 11:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply! A fellow Wikipedian is putting up links to "bogus" articles on his user page. Essentially, they're pages from Wikipedia, tweaked in a "what-if" kind of scenario. (They mainly deal with "what if so-and-so television station was bought by somebody else? What would their history would be like?") They're marked (in large letters) as "NOT A REAL ARTICLE", but they are still accessible through Google and such (which is how I found them.) I couldn't find any kind of protocol or precedent for such a thing in the help pages, and am leery of approaching him about it (because he's currently invovled in several uncivil conflicts right now). Are these pages OK, and if not, what would need to be done next? Amnewsboy 14:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the pages are in his own user space (For example, if I was to make [[User:9cds/WikipediaSux!], then that's allowed. Of course, if it was anything illegal then that would be a totally different issue. -- cds^(talk) 14:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The pages aren't ILLEGAL, per se... they contain deliberately false information, but also have a giant header that says "THIS ISN'T REAL." Should I provide a link? Amnewsboy 14:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can do, but I think they'll be fine. -- cds^(talk) 14:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Compare the user's Alternate History WDAF and the real page at WDAF-TV. I wouldn't raise such a fuss, but that IS accessible by Google and all. I'll defer to your call. :) Amnewsboy 14:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, they're pretty much accepted as fine, since it's in his user area. They have actually been nominated for deletion, but not enough people cared :) -- cds^(talk) 15:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gah -- that kind of situation is exactly what I would like to avoid. Thanks for the help! Amnewsboy 15:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Television Stations Local Talent

I think they should stay. Some reporters do move on to bigger and better pastures, such as CNN or CBC Newsworld, and the other way around, too. User:Raccoon Fox - Talk 18:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AETN callsign meanings

The calls have to mean something... CoolKatt number 99999 04:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, no. AETN says that the letters for KETS PROBABLY stood for "Educational Television Station", and that the other stations were kept as consistent as possible -- but that there is nothing concrete to back it up. Wiki isn't a place for speculation. Amnewsboy 04:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I am concerned, callsign meanings that make sense are not speculation. CoolKatt number 99999 04:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If they're not factually correct (as in -- confirmed by the station, in either branding or history), even if they make sense, they shouldn't belong here. We can't just make up these things for them. Amnewsboy 05:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

50 Greatest Table

It is definitely an improvement. My one nitpick: instead of asterisking the shows that weren't aired, I might think an italicized (not aired) or something similar in the description field would be a little easier to read. But that's just me. Lambertman 16:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

39th Street/Volker Neighborhood

Hmm.. it's interesting that the area is served by the Volker Neighborhood Association. However, is there any documentation that anyone actually refers to the 39th street area as the Volker Neighborhood? I've only ever heard that term used to describe the areas along, and just to the south of, Volker Blvd... --Reverend Loki 17:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure. I know there are neighborhood banners over there that say "Volker Neighborhood" (much like the ones in Hyde Park, for example), but don't know if it's on paper anywhere. Amnewsboy 00:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strike It Rich

there's a start. It was a pretty decent show as I recall, but around here it aired after Nightline so I usually missed it. Lambertman 18:34, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helping other users

I've noticed that a user is making dozens of individual edits to an article, rather than making them all at once (and saving them, thus cluttering up the history)[1]. The user doesn't have a talk page of their own -- is it permissible for me to start one to let them know? Amnewsboy 15:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, certainly. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 15:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I was mistaken (they do have a talk page), but I do thank you for letting me know just the same. Amnewsboy 15:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finders Keepers

The online schedules for Nick GAS are wrong. It is up to the television network to notify them when there is a change which Nickelodeon obviously didn't do because they could care less about Nick GAS. If you tune in at the times Finder Keepers is suppose to air you will see that it is not played, but Legends of the Hidden Temple or Figure it Out is. Tazz765 15:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is, not only are online schedules saying that FK is on (in the middle of the night, but still on the schedule), but DVRs show it on their schedule as well. Even if it's not actually AIRING, it still causes a WP:V problem. If it's being listed on schedules but NOT airing, you should probably note that in the article, and provide a way to independently verify that. Amnewsboy 15:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nick GaS (Helpme)

The page for Nick GaS keeps being vandalized by an anon IP every couple of days or so -- not consistently enough for it to be considered for semi-protect, but it still requires reverting whenever it happens. What remedies are available at this point? Amnewsboy 16:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not much I'm afraid the IP address being used seems to be within a limited range but does change, blocking that range of IPs could cause collateral damage so is not something we are likely to do unless the vandalism was far more serious. The best thing to do is continue what you have been doing, add it to your watchlist and revert as necessary. --pgk 17:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About Mythbusters...

Well, I understand what you are saying, but if Mythbusters said pigs flying is plausible, but their reasoning was false, would that justify stating that pigs flying is plausible on the Mythbusters page? Can I put a note on there that that says see discussions for possible error? or something along those lines? Rewt241

I'm not even sure that would work... simply because the article is meant to recap what happened in the episode -- not whether or not the results are accurate. Otherwise, we run the risk of starting an edit war and/or turning this into the Mythbusters message board. --Amnewsboy 14:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea

I have reverted your edits. I invite you to engage in a discussion if you have a reason to contest the companies excellence and thus the propriety of this action. TonyTheTiger 22:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am reviewing the article looking for weasel words. The first sentence uses the words "highly esteemed", which seems to be backed up by the second sentence and the honors section. If you want to edit the 3rd sentence, I think another editor might express my sentiment better than me. The 4th sentence uses the words "well known", which I think is backed up by the reference. I still would not call the 3rd sentence an example of weaseling. Please be specific. TonyTheTiger 16:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Lee

I got her last name from IMDB [2]which is used as a source in many other Film and Television articles. With that info I was able to confirm what was written at IMDB. Let me know if this makes a difference in your choice to leave out her last name from the article. How could there be an encyclopedia article on an important person, when you only know their first and middle name. In my view the entire article should go bye-bye, if you can’t even come up with her birth name. (That’s a slight over the top remark.) However, I hope you understand my point. knowpedia 18:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Local Personalities

Thanks for helping out with the debate on local personalities... I'm finding that it's become a touchy subject.User:Kerusso and someone at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan Peters (TV anchor) have taken exception to the AfD's... and it's totally not about the article / author / anchor in question; I hope we can all reach a good consensus that we can all live with. Amnewsboy 09:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amnewsboy,

I'm sort of ambivalent on these AFDs. On the one hand, a lot of these folks hardly seem notable. But then, "notable" is always slightly subjective. The Professor Test indicates most on-air station personalities are notable, in the sense that they would be more widely recognized (by name, sight, or voice) in their DMA than a local college professor. At the same time, can Wikipedia effectively patrol hundreds (or potentially thousands) of such articles? It's clear we need a guideline; until one is in place, those who have written articles which are nominated for AFD may well take deletion personally, because no comprehensive guideline can be cited. So to some users, it will appear "personal", an unfortunate effect. Firsfron of Ronchester 14:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and although I think I'm effectively presenting legitimate arguments, I can understand why it's being taken as such. For my part, I think I goofed by AFD'ing before trying to establish guidelines, but hope that things are getting mended. Amnewsboy 14:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We just need a "stroke of genius"-type idea that will please everyone, or at least be comprehensive and apply to any situation while still upholding the basic Wikipedia principles at WP:BIO... So why haven't you thought of it yet? ;) Firsfron of Ronchester 15:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amnewsboy 09:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs are always a touchy thing. I've been on the receiving end of a few lately, and it's easy to allow yourself to think that it's you who are being rejected - that your hard work is being trashed. I'm just not a big fan of deleting existing articles. I've written quite a few myself that today I probably wouldn't write, but I'd much rather see someone try to improve them and bring them up to standard if possible, than to delete them. I could sense Kerusso's offense even in his response on WT:TVS and my first thought was "after we spent some time trying to bring ideas to the discussion, he has a lot of nerve simply trashing them without offering alternatives." Fortunately, I backed off that sentiment before I put anything down on the talk page. As I wrote there, we may end up not coming to any consensus, but it's still worth raising the issue for discussion. dhett 03:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interview for a public radio show

Hi there,

My name is Neille Ilel and I'm a producer with a national public radio show called Weekend America. We want to do a story on the fine line between an individual who deserves an entry on Wikepedia and one who doesn't. As someone who's weighed in on the issue, I was hoping you might be able to chat over the phone for a few minutes.

We're a conversational show and want to have a relatively laid-back discussion about what goes on in Wikipedia, just to let you know that this isn't a debate-type show where we encourage fighting.

If you're up for it, or if you have any questions, you can e-mail me at nilel (at) marketplace (dot) org to set something up.

[http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/ ] Thanks! Neille

WHAG-TV

Good Morning! While I understand that Wiki is not a directory, I feel that these people are part of the newscast. Ms. Fountain and Ms. Myers are featured on WHAG's website, while Mr. Myers and Mr. Brown are not, they were once. The latter mentioned though are part of the newsteam (at least in my opinion).

Since listed on the website, the former could remain on the Wiki page, and the latter removed....would that be a happy medium?

Heya, that'll work :o) If someone does come through with the same mindset, then I (or you if you ya beat me to it) can take down those four names. Also, I did update the page a little. I added the new website and an entry in the history page and seperated the news, weather, sports, and off-air teams has I did with the WHSV and TV3 Winchester pages. I think it makes it look a little more tidy.

WKYT-TV

Am I wrong for thinking that including every single person who works at the station shouldn't belong in this article? I removed it once, and it was promptly put back by the original author of the article... I hesitate to remove them again because a) I don't want to be seen as inciting an edit war, and b) I nominated Scholastic Ball Report for deletion (another article he authored) because it doesn't establish notability (it doesn't seem any different to me than any other local sports program). Thoughts? Amnewsboy 18:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the bottom half of the article looks more like the list of credits at the end of a program than an encyclopedia article. I appreciate the care you've taken in trying to avoid an edit war. I'm going to bring this up on the article's talk page, to see if we can't establish a consensus we can all live with. Firsfron of Ronchester 00:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KAMR

Hey, FoR... I received a message from User:Kida97 about the KAMR article. (She sent it to me over LiveJournal; I'm guessing she doesn't know how to use talk pages.) The gist of it is that she believes non on-air staff should still be listed in the article because they (the station employees, collectively) wanted to leave it there - regardless of whether or not the same information is listed on other TV station articles.

I left her a message on her talk page, explaining why I did what I did, why I believe it falls under WP:LC, and how it may also bring up a WP:COI issue as well.

I do want to make sure that I did the right thing in removing the lists in the first place. Please take a look at the situation and let me know. Thanks! Amnewsboy 03:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Am,

I've left a friendly note on her talk page. Yes, listcruft should absolutely be removed. On-air personalities are borderline notable (some articles have been deleted, some have been retained), but off-air staff rarely pass WP:N. We're building an encyclopedia, and these sorts of lists aren't really conducive to that. I never saw a janitor listed on a TV station article, but I did see some secretaries. These folks help keep the station running, but are not notable by themselves: a local resident in Idaho wouldn't recognize them from their work at the station. Drop by my talk page at any time.

Sky 12

They didn't own the chopper (as most small station don't) but it was Sky 12. I thought it was weird that they didn't have anything on the NBC12 site either. Oddly, no links on WTVR, WRIC or WWBT about the story....none on WBOC or WMDT for a follow-up. An updated version of the story (via the WBOC link I gave) shows the pilot, Kara Dewitt, does work for NBC12. I am not sure how you would like to go with this since only WBOC has only report (though slightly updated) and nothing on the Richmond stations. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 20:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have two links...oddly, only from the Salisbury Daily Times (couldn't find a link in the Richmond Times-Dispatch). ^[3] and ^[4] are the links from the Daily Times in Salisbury. There were blurbs on DCRTV.com and VARTV.com, the Radio and TV news and information sites in DC and Norfolk (serves Richmond) respectfully. I wish I could find a link in the Richmond paper, but their site is just too hard to use. Hope this helps. I will keep looking though. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 07:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These are pictures of the chopper from the Lewes, DE Fire Dept. website ^[5] That link was on DCRTV.com as well. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 11:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WYMT-TV

Hey, I looked over the WP:TVS page and the talk page and I didn't see what you were saying about off-air staff (that list was done by a WYMT staffer, by the way) though I do skim the page so I may have missed it. I reverted for the time-being...could you please post the link and I will re-revert. The WYMT staffer and I keep that list as up-to-date as humanly possible, so it is accurate (even though the IP user likes to mess with it). Please let me know on the WP:TVS rule and I will re-revert. My apologizes ahead of time if I reverted something that is actually in the rules. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 07:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you and Firsfron have reached a consensus with others, I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I probably overlooked the posts about it (I skim the page sometimes too fast) but if you all want to talk about it, please let me know what the final consensus is or if I did indeed overlook something in the talk page. Again, I don't want to step on anyone's toes. (a list with a janitor...that's funny! janitor must have been honored though) - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 08:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KAMR-TV (again)

Hey, FoF... the KAMR-TV article is still being reverted back to the addition of the station's producing staff... at least 2 or 3 times since the topic was brought up the last time. I think what annoys me more at this point is that there's not a willingness to discuss the matter -- the pages are simply being reverted without talking about it anywhere. I don't think the lists belong there (as per policy), but I'm willing to listen -- the problem is, nobody there is willing to talk. What can be done now? Amnewsboy 07:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Newsboy!

This is a very good start. It seems likely an editor will have to see this when s/he edits the article. If this fails, a politely-worded e-mail to the station (using the proper templates or something which addresses WP:COI and WP:N) might work better.

I removed the whole line about them winning a "Best Newscast in Kentucky" award.

Kickball / Adult Kickball

Hey, F... I don't see any legitimate reason why these two articles shouldn't be merged together, given that the game is the same, no matter who is playing. I know this was split by a user, but that user also hasn't edited anything since and hasn't commented on the split since I brought it up 2 months ago. Can I go ahead and merge them?

TDB

sorry, I just noticed a huge chunk of the article was gone, figured it was vandalism, and reverted it, like a bot.

but here is what I am thinking:

the list on their website is not current. I contacted them, but they have not changed it. I figured that a community should be able to keep a list like that up to date with better frequency than they could.

Agree or disagree? Iamdigitalman 08:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ah, that's a good idea then. I'll take it up with them. Seems to me the stations changed the times around when they moved in to the new studio. Like, my local CW50 cut it from 2 hours to only one hour. Iamdigitalman 10:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, F... can you help me out with Joyland Amusement Park (Wichita)? User:Ccane continues to add extraneous material to the article, and I'm just not sure how to handle the situation so that we address his/her concerns but still fall within WP rules.

Hey AM!

I left a {{subst:welcome}} ~~~~ message for the user. It's clear the edits are good-faith, but probably not appropriate for Wikipedia, especially the "for more information, go to this support site"-type edits).

RE: WABG

Ahhhhh!! It didn't occur to me that they might have copied the Wikipedia article - it wouldn't be the first time a TV station did. And it's perfectly legal. I wasn't familiar with archive.org, but if they provide the date that a page hit a website, or allow users to look at a page as of a certain date, it would be easy to compare. Otherwise, one might have to contact the station and ask if they copied the Wikipedia article, although I don't know if they'd admit it. Now I'm glad I moved the questionable content to the talk page instead of outright deleting it, although it could have always been undone. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna agree with you. Part of the history section in question dates from last year, and the rest is from a 1/28/07 rewrite. The next WABG archive is from 2/4/07 and is in the current format, but the history page linked is the current page, as it has the 10/29/07 information on it. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kansas City: Saturday, June 16, starting at 9 a.m. — National Archives in Kansas City

This full-day event will include a tour of the facility; presentations from National Archives Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, and Exhibit Specialist, Dee Harris; and time in the research room to work on projects. The focus of the projects will be scanning, writing articles, transcribing, or categorizing images on Commons.

Wikipedians from St. Louis and elsewhere in the region are encouraged to make a day-trip of it and come to Kansas City for this special opportunity!

And two local editions of the Great American Wiknic, the "picnic anyone can edit." Come meet (and geek out with, if you want) your local Wikipedians in a laid-back atmosphere:

Wichita: Saturday, June 23, starting at 1 p.m. — Central Riverside Park

Join the 1st annual Wichita Wiknic: The Sunflower State blooms Free Knowledge!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

File source problem with File:Ccplaza.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Ccplaza.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
