Changed your version a little bit on KLLY. Just a side not User: Joemama993 is wierd. He likes using the list that was on KLLY, you can see how I have it, which to me is better, because your explaining what the airstaff do, instead of what saying Middays John Doe, Afternoons Jane Doe. I'm working with him a little bit, but might not keep what he puts up, if don't like it. He changed KDFO, and I changed it back. Hopefully I can get him to know that a list like that is a directory. You can look at KLLY. Hopefully it's o.k. that I have the bullets on there, looks better that way. By the way, where at do you put your opinon at on WP: WPRS? User: Joemama993 put his opinion on there and you took it off. All he was doing was putting his opinion on there. By taking that off is not respecting his freedom of speech, but if you tell me where we can put our opinion at on that site, that would help.. Although, how KLLY is now is how I feel it should be, if you can supply the information, but if you can's supply the information, then there shouldn't be nothing wrong with doing the stations sites Mid-Days John Doe and Afternoons Jane Doe. --JoeCool950 (talk) 02:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Take a look at KDFO after User: Joemama993 changes it. If you don't agree with it also, let me know and I'll change it back to how it was, which is right now how I fixed KUZZ. How KUZZ is how I feel it should be, describing what the personality does, not just the list deal. Although, if how User: Joemama993 fixes it you like, then let me know also. Let me know either way. I changed it on him before because I didn't like how he had it. By the way, the way that you guys want the radio sites to look like or the body of the radio sites with the station listed as a suggestion would look stupid. KDFO, KLLY, KKBB, and KUZZ would never look like that. You can see the station they use as an example on WP: WPRS. Just wanted to give my input there. I think that's why User: Joemama993 wants the sites to look like that, just to let you know. He hasn't changed it yet, but gave me an example of how he wants to do the radio sites. I told him just try KDFO, but if you don't like that, just undo what he did to how I have it now. Just wanted to let you know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 02:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
You need to stop!!!!! It's o.k. how it is.. --JoeCool950 (talk) 17:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Stop with KVMX..
Leave the personality stuff alone on KLLY and KUZZ. Don't want them up there.--JoeCool950 (talk) 17:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
STOP.... KKBB was o.k.
WIKIPEDIA SUCKS --JoeCool950 (talk)
Wikipedia doesn't suck o.k. I've used some of your edits like for KIIS-FM that needed some attention on their airstaff page. I've used your edit from KVVS to put on KIIS-FM.--JoeCool950 (talk) 18:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
I didn't know there was a talk page for that. The opinion that User: Joemama993 left I'll put on that page. He didn't know either, I don't think. That's what I meant about the earlier comment, but your link to WP: WPRS opened to the talk page, which is where the opinions need to be left, I'm guessing, so sorry for the other comment about Wikipedia.. You can see I changed my comment. I've changed the wording a little bit for KLLY and KKBB, still says what you changed it to, but I edited the wording a little bit to what it should say.--JoeCool950 (talk) 18:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
If you don't like the recent edits, then I'm going to just delete my user account, which I can bring back, if change my mind--JoeCool950 (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
I put this on the wrong page earlier. For the hat notes, only the former call letters are what you have a link to, or the call letters? Let me know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 03:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
I noticed tonight that KDUV for Bakersfield uses K261CO as the call letters, but I know for a fact that it airs KDUV, so KDUV is up-to-date like you have it and I made 100.1 for Bakersfield K261CO since the FCC states that's what 100.1 is, so thought I'd let you know that, so 100.1 shouldn't be on KDUV, needs to be on K261CO. Just thought I'd let you know that. --JoeCool950 (talk) 04:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
How can I get all of my contents back on my user page after a delete on User: JoeCool950? Was able to remember some of it, but not all of it. What I basically did was made it back up, but I'm seeing about getting it restored to it's original!!--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
The Shannon Smith thing was a typo on KDUV, it should have said Shannon Steele. When you changed it back on the programming page, it made it wrong again. Should have said Shannon Steele, that's why I made that correction. Shannon Smith doesn't even work for KDUV. Everything is correct and Shannon Steele is the assistant program director and music director. I know that for a fact--JoeCool950 (talk) 16:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Will you see if you can get a logo on the KGEO site. I tried, but couldn't figure it out and gave up.--JoeCool950 (talk) 17:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
I would like to do rename Category:Conventions in Texas to Category:Fandom Conventions in Texas. The name as it stands would include business and industrial conventions such as the annual Mary Kay convention in Dallas, Texas. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad you were able to explain to Joemama993 about the station ratings. I'd take them off too, with what you were talking about. And since this is an encylopedia, not a stations website or something else, I'll agree that the programming should be done in a prose. It makes more since that way to. You don't see a book encylopedia have lists on it, all of the wording is in a prose format, so with that being said, guess we should do the same. One question, is it vandalism taking off messages on my own talk page? I took of the warnings that you left. Just want to check. By the way, if you want, you can take off all that arguing stuff on your page, if you want.--JoeCool950 (talk) 01:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing, since KLOVE is a non-commercial, or the station that it's on in Bakersfield is non-commercial, I'm guessing that KLOVE doesn't need the Bakersfield market template on there. I did the same thing with Air1, since it's like KLOVE, where it says stations. That needs to be the same for Air1, no Bakersfield or High Desert template on there, and I'm guessing that's because all of the stations templates would have to be on there, which would be too much templates. That's my guess, but I fixed Air1, so that you don't need to fix that or revert it back and it's all updated. --JoeCool950 (talk) 02:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that I got User: JoJo995 in trouble. I noticed that User: JoJo995 and User: Joemama993 had the same information on their page userpage and I pointed it out to a administrator plus User: Joemama993 had blanked his page, which is clearly vandalism and felt it needed to get reported for that. I'll definitely not do any sockpuppetry. If he wanted his username changed, I could have told him what to do, to avoid that, but I'm not going to back up User: Joemama993 anymore.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
The page looks better. I'm going to use my sandbox to see if I can get the programming page a little more up to-date. If you look under the history, you can see what it was before. I keep telling User: Joemama993 that, that's what you guys want on the programming page is for it to be in a pose format. He said he's confused. I read on the talk page that's what you all agree, and don't want to change what you all agreed about with talking about the programming on the radio station pages. User: Joemama993 just has to apply by the rules, or not be on Wikipedia. Since I know that's what you guys want on the radio station pages, I'm not going to change them. I might fix the wording to make it make sense to me as a reader also. Hopefully, that's o.k. If you have any problems with User: Joemama993, then just let him know like what you had to do with me.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Breaking Bad episodes, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Breaking Bad episodes has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Breaking Bad episodes, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Penubag has been hard at work developing awards for this project. He has completed a very professional looking medal, and is almost done with a trophy that is truly awesome - both of these awards are visually stunning.
I and a few others have been working steadily on the country outlines - one for every country of the world! They're shaping up nicely. So far, 28 of them have been moved to article space - these aren't complete, but they are complete enough to be made available for readers to benefit from them. The rest of the set still includes temporary data that was generated by template (because it matched most but not all of the countries), and before the lists can be moved to article space, all the temporary data needs to be checked for accuracy, and if incorrect it needs to be replaced with correct information.
The effort on the lists has been on 3 fronts:
There has been some opposition to us running the contest based on edit counts or iterations. The concern is that we should reward quality work and not quantity, for fear of crappy edits done quickly without thought. I pointed out that the collection of pages are drafts in the Wikipedia namespace (therefore posing no danger to article space) and that most of the work needs to be done with power tools like AWB and Linky (which are specifically designed for repetitive work), but the reply was that we shouldn't set the precedent of rewarding barnstars for numerically-based tasks, and implied the threat of continuously MfD'ing the contest if we attempted to do so (like they did with the Awards Center - I was very surprised and disappointed that participants didn't step up to defend it). So we need to be careful in determining what exactly the awards will represent, and how they will be awarded.
Since rewarding iterations (passes with AWB on all of the pages in the set) are out, we really don't need the globe in stand anymore. Two awards should suffice.
Once we get started with the contest, I'd like to kick the whole thing off with a round of medals for those dedicated few who have worked hard on the project so far.
What do you think of all of this?
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Will you tell me how the sister stations are suppose to be listed? I looked at KVMX and it looks like it goes FM, then AM. Really shouldn't matter how they're listed, but just like to know. Thanks. That's what I noticed by the edits from User: Smackbot on KKXX-FM. Would just like to know, and thought it would be a good question?--JoeCool950 (talk) 03:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know how they should be. I looked at KVMX after and I can see how it's done now, after that example. It is in Alphabetical order.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Re your comment at WP talk:WSS - :The nomination smacks strongly of WP:IDONTLIKEIT.
Even more so when taken in combination with Ryulong's recent attempts at making a WP:POINT at SFD - the nomination pointed to was re-opened as a courtesy to Ryulong after he unilaterally re-created a deleted stub type which had been debated a few days earlier. Rather than debating the point he immediately launched an attack on the whole WP:SFD process. On reflection, a combination of speedy deletion and reporting to WP:AN/I might have been a better move. Grutness...wha? 05:27, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I want to ask this, just in case I decide not to, but if I don't want to be an editor for Wikipedia, how do I get rid of my userpage. I deleted it awhile back when we were having our fight over the radio pages and I deleted my user page, but then changed my mine and had them restore it. I do though know it's not vandalism to bring back your own page, if you change your mine. Just want to know what to do, if I decide not to be an editor for Wikipedia? I'll still stay on for now, but if I come to that decision, what do I do?--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and took off what you put on my talk page User talk: JoeCool950. Don't know why you changed what was on there, since that's my talk page. I changed it back, just to let you know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 22:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Do those templates have to be on there? I was looking at your page and noticed you don't have the Userpage Template on there. I found a better way to have the Talkheader Template on my talkpage, if you want to take a look. I've never heard of the Talkheader Template. Just the way it was on my talk page looked stupid, but I've got it fixed the way it should look on there, if I have it on there. Just was wondering if the templates need to be on the User page or Talk page.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for helping out with the Monroe page. If I can't think of anyway to expand it, is it alright to request a deletion of that page, if I can't expand it. I work for the school. I could do some research to find out exactly how many kids we have going to the school right now. I do know for a fact the other name for the school is Alternative Education because when I hear our secretary or office clerk answer the phone, that's how they answer the phone. I'll have to get more history on the school to put in there. I do know for history of the school it was the elementary school for a small town near Tehachapi that was known as Monolith, but the that town doesn't exist, and then the Tehachapi Unified School District took it over. The original Monroe Building was built in 1956. There are portables out there too. It's actually a pretty small school, if you look at it. There are only 8 portables out there. One portable is where the office is at, then one is our libary and then we have Tehachapi Adult School out there in a portable and then 5 teachers teach in the rest of the portables out there and one in the actual school house plus we have a cafeteria in our school house which use to be a classroom and a DDR Room, just to kind of let you know what what all is there. Pretty small. I don't know the exact number of kids, but I want to say around 140. Just guessing though. I don't want to blank the page, but if I can't think of a way to expand what I already have, then I will request a deletion rather than blanking the page. Don't want to blank the page, but after I wrote what I had, then I couldn't think of another way to expand it. Based on some of the info I told you about, excluding on the teachers and number of portables, if you think you can expand it with that, you're more than welcome. I'll look at it and let you know if it looks like it's explaining what the school is about. By the way, is it o.k. to a Continuation School listed on the California Schools deal? I noticed all of the other schools aren't Continuation Schools. I noticed you just had high school in brackets, I made included the continuation part so it says continuation high school, since that's what Monroe is in Tehachapi.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
I've got Monroe High School (Tehachapi) fixed up, if you want to read it. Look at it and let me know if it better explains to the readers about the school. I've also fixed up Tehachapi Unified School District. Figured there needed to be something about our district also. I've added references to where it needed to be added. Let me know if it looks o.k. for both, or explains about each. If so, then cool. That's all I want to know, especially Monroe, since I work there. I've got Monroe fixed better, now I don't have to worry about requesting a deletion for the page. By the way, it's a Continuation High School, but we call it Monroe High School, so we'll leave the name Monroe High School, just to let you know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 08:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
You've uploaded Image:WWNJ logo.gif, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

I've never noticed this, until looking on at the discusstion page, and then the project page, and the introduction that is currently on WP:WPRS uses the word "currently." Don't know if Wikipedia wants us to use the word "currently." If Wikipedia doesn't like that, might want to change that. Just thought I'd let you know that.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to compliment you and let you know that the introduction on KDFO looks a lot better than what it was, or to me it does. I was looking at how it previously was and what you changed it to and like it a lot better. Seems like how it was before, seems like it just went on and on after it said what kind of format it was. I didn't change it to how it was before because I like how you fixed it up. You notice I'm not changing anything. To me, all the radio stations look how they should now. You can see I don't notice stuff to much if it looks good, because I just now notice KDFO which you switched back in October. Just the wording on KDFO is different, but not too much different, you just made the introduction make more sense to the readers, which I think it should. Thanks. By the way, if I changed the KDFO introduction back, which I'm not, but if I did, (hopefully not vandalism for saying this) then I'm stupid.--JoeCool950 (talk) 07:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Since I'm new at this, maybe you can explain to me what I did "wrong". It's been up on the discussion page for several days and I thought I had linked to the reference material correctly. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi, I noticed that you have been adding concealed links to autoformatted dates. Such edits break autoformatting. There is no point in having the links for autoformatting if it is broken. Like many editors, you are probably unaware of that aspect of autoformatting. I will fix it again. Please don't add concealed links within full dates. If you don't believe me just ask anybody that knows how autoformatting works e.g. at wt:mosnum. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 13:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for greatly expanding this article about a radio station. I do have some questions on the wording for circular polarization and not interfering with tv channel 6:
I would like to modestly call attention to an essay I just wrote called "The nature of stub sorters." I am inviting a select few to peruse it at leisure and offer comments or changes if desired.

You're right, I should have said that WP:NME is an essay, not a guideline, but per WP:ONLYESSAY it's wrong to say that an essay, especially one that reflects such a strong consensus, carries "no weight".

Dear Mr. Dravecky, I thank you VERY MUCH for making my recent Entry on Wikipedia.org of "The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise". A much more interesting format reading as well as adding some links to this famous Saturday Night Live comedy TV script.:)
I should point out there is another Wikipedia.org contributor name "SummerPhD" apparently did not like my entry and tried to have it deleted. He also seems to have a grudge against me. I also put in an item on this so-called Sagging(fashion)(where certain people have their pants a few inches below the waist showing their underwear), saying that many school districts around the USA ban this because it is considered unhealthy and vulgar. Plus, many in the Dallas area where I live also consider it street gang wear. It seems he doesn't like this true statement, and does not like the "last Voyage of Enterprise" entry as well. Just letting you know about this guy. And also thanking you for improving my entry. :) - Spaceman42 (talk) 03:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Early in the day, you deleted an article called Yaaq as G1. The article was not gibberish or nonsensical – it was written in the Somali language and it details a town in Somalia. The existence of Yaaq is confirmed here: [1]. The article was posted in the section for non-English entries in need of translation, and I had also requested the article’s creator for an English version. I don't know how it came to get a G1 tag, unless someone substituted the translate tag for a speedy delete tag. Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

For bringing multiple radio station articles and their histories to the forefront in recent "Did You Know?" entries, I hereby award you this barnstar. Nicely Done! - NeutralHomer • Talk • December 10, 2008 @ 06:46 |
Respecting your opinion as I do, and having enjoyed working with you as I have, I had a thought that I wanted to throw past you and get your opinion on.
Having made my way through all the U.S. call sign disambiguations, I've now moved on to the Canadian ones, while also trying to clean up that mess of frequency disambiguation pages that were created a while back. As I've been doing this, I've started thinking about the broader issue of keeping these pages clean of incoming links. The watchlist feature of Wikipedia Cleaner helps for the ones that existed when I dumped them in there, but how would I know if new pages were created so that I could help keep those clean too? It's just felt like something was missing — that there was a gap in the toolkit.
And then it hit me. We have ((disambig)) for the normal cases, ((geodis)) for place names, ((hndis)) for people's names, ((schooldis)) for educational institutions, etc. Why not ((callsigndis)) — a template that would feed [[Category:Broadcast call signs]], where all disambiguation pages for radio and TV station call signs could be housed.
This would operate under the same rules as the other sub-disambiguation pages — if the page only has call signs, it could just be tagged with ((callsigndis)) and the template would automatically include the page in both [[Category:Broadcast call signs]] and [[Category:All disambiguation pages]]. On the other hand, if the page includes both call signs and other types of entries, then the instruction would be to tag it with both ((disambig)) and [[Category:Broadcast call signs]], so that it has the general disambiguation page visual at the bottom of the page.
Coding the template and template documentation looks pretty straightforward, because I could just piggyback off the coding for ((geodis)). The first run of tagging all the pages would be a huge job, but that only has to happen once. After that, it's just a simple matter of comparing the 3 or 4 letter abbreviation articles starting with C, K, V, or W (to cover Canada and the U.S., at least) that are members of [[Category:All disambiguation pages]] against the same range of [[Category:Broadcast call signs]] every once in a while to find the newly-created disambiguation pages and then retag them, clean them of incoming links, get them onto a cleaning watch list, etc.
Anyway, long post, but I'd be curious to hear what you think of the idea. Thanks in advance for your attention. Mlaffs (talk) 21:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
What is the value to the encyclopedia of edits like this one? I hope you're not trying to make a point. --John (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Good work and thanks for making the stub starting to look like a real article. Docku: What up? 18:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your question about DYK eligibility for WJBE if it gets split.... I'm pretty sure the "WJBE (defunct)" article would not count as "new" if it were based on the section from this article...rather, it would probably have to be expanded from that (currently 802 characters, so it would have to get up to 4000)...but I'm not 100% sure, so you may want to see input from one of the admins or other longer-standing contributors here (Gatoclass, BorgQueen, Art LaPella, Orlady, Suntag, Royalbroil, Daniel Case, RyanCross are some). One possible solution is that you could remove that section right now and put it in your userspace (under something like User:Dravecky/WJBE (defunct radio station)) and then restore it to article space once it's ready.... if it was out of article space for a long enough time, we might be able to make an exception and consider it "new" content, rather than requiring 5x expansion. —Politizer talk/contribs 06:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
The citation is already there for what you were talking about. It's down at the end of all that. The citation at the bottom is for the whole thing, just so you know. That's why I have a citation there. If you click on the #4 citation under reference, you can see why I put the citation there at the end.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
I went ahead a took off the message you left for me on my talk page.--JoeCool950 (talk) 03:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Would you be able to rewrite the KUZZ history, so that it's not word for word from the website. I would greatly appriciate it. You might be able to do better at rewriting it, so that it's not word for word. Thanks. It's not back up there, or what was on there. I've been meaning to take it off to work on it, but wasn't sure how. If you're in the process of working on it, then totally cool. The original one will stay off and we'll get the new one that's not word for word up whenever it's rewritten. Thanks for your help.--JoeCool950 (talk) 03:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't know why you left the tag up, unless you're leaving it up until the history is rewritten? If so, then I'll add one more tag that should be up there also--JoeCool950 (talk) 03:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Have you mined this for info? -- Suntag ☼ 04:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
BorgQueen (talk) 04:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Let me know if that looks better. Haven't heard. If so, then I guess the tag can be removed. That's cool that you took of the reference for KUVI. I don't know any other thing that needs to be referenced, but that stuff shouldn't be removed. If it looks better, then go ahead and take the tag off.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:00, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Do you have any suggestions for the KUZZ History, so that it doesn't look like it's word for word. Let me know. Don't feel like rewriting the whole thing out. Let me know what I could do with what was up there.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

For your attention, a recent AFD you were involved in has gone up for a deletion review here. Ryan4314 (talk) 21:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I added a reference for what I think you were talking about that has the actual name of the company that owns KUZZ. I'll put it on KCWR too, since KCWR is a sister station.
Well, here you go — 523 missing articles, and that's just the ones that are linked to dab pages. I'll keep adding to this as I come across more of them. Mlaffs (talk) 02:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
BorgQueen (talk) 05:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
That's why I left that comment to that one user that you noticed, because what was on there was what that dude put up who I left the comment to "not to change KVMX again." Yours is better. I think I know who did it because they did the same to WYCD. If you look at the programming or airstaff for WYCD, I fixed it up, or took of the schedule times for that page. You can look at it to see if it looks somewhat correct now.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Dravecky, would you mind checking the FCC webpage for WSYA to see if the lack of information on there about its tower and transmitter is of any significance to the WSYA page? Additionally, you might want to know that there are unconfirmed reports circulating that this station has been repossessed by the bank through which it was financed. More details as information becomes substantiated. Thanks as always, Arob22 (talk) 02:48, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Noticed you were going down the list of affiliates and adding references. Don't forget WVRW and WICL, both were not on the affiliate list on the True Oldies Channel page. You might want to update that too while you are at it. Keep up the good work. Take Care....NeutralHomer • Talk • December 20, 2008 @ 03:36
Got this message about WTCW and am not sure how to procede:
"Hey Neutralhomer, another editor has added some info on WTCW that is possibly incorrect. Being a lifelong Letcher County, Kentucky resident, I do listen to WTCW and it does have a classic country format as well as being an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds radio network. However, The True Oldies Channel website added by the editor still mentions WTCW as an affiliate. To top it all off, the station website--a subsite of sister station WXKQ's website--has the program schedule for WXKQ (which has a classic hits format) listed as theirs. Unless the editor knows some future plans for the stations, there seems to be a whole lot of discrepencies. Your thoughts?? Willking1979 (talk) 15:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)"
The True Oldies Channel website has been known to be a little off sometimes, having old information. Since the main station website says it is Classic Country....should we take off the information about True Oldies Channel or leave as is? Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • December 21, 2008 @ 00:26
BorgQueen (talk) 06:17, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Let me know if there's any more references that need to be on the KUZZ page. If not, I'm guessing the tag can be taken off.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:27, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I fixed up the references a bit, to make them make sense and added one reference for the Program Director. His real name is Evan Bridwell. KC Adams is his radio name. Thought there should be a reference for him. Let me know if that helps a lot. You can read in the history to see what I did, to help out the page. Let me know if that helped out a lot.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Someone on the WYCD page keeps adding in a schedule. I keep changing back to how it should be. The sister stations have schedules similar to what someone keeps changing WYCD back to. Plus, WWWW-FM has the same thing. Not sure if the pages should be watched or not. Just wanted to let you know what's up with these pages, especially WYCD, which I would consider vandalism of the person who keeps putting the schedule times back on there.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:35, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for looking to improve Kinlock Shelter. You recently added the Alabama structure stub tag to Kinlock Shelter. I have changed it to the generic Alabama stub tag, as I'm not sure a rock shelter, which is a natural feature, falls under the building/structure tag. Since the geography tag doesn't really fit either, I think the generic stub status works best. I hope you don't mind. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

My DYK hook was a double hook' Bethlehem, Indiana should also be credited.--Gen. Bedford his Forest 07:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Sorry to bother, but the current slate of DYK-honoured articles from 20:55, 28 December 2008, (including my entry for A Daughter of the Congo) seemed to be the victim of a malfunctioning DYK bot. All of the articles received templates for DYK notice, but none of the authors received the DYK notice on their talk pages. I saw that you were the admin who put that list together, so I am asking if you could please rectify that error and send out the DYK notices to the editors whose work was honoured. Thanks.

If you edit a protected page, please post on the talk page that you have done so and remove the Template:Editprotected. Otherwise the page remains in 'Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests'. Also, and this is a matter of opinion: if an edit is requested to one of the most active pages on Wikipedia, usually the input of more than two editors is necessary to ensure consensus exists for a content change.

We literally just got through an edit war on Meet the Press over the inclusion of the name of the show's host in the title of the article. The one & only editor who promoted the use of "Meet the Press with David Gregory" argued that because the title card says something, that's the name of the show. In short, no, that's not how you judge the name of an article, or the title of an Infobox. The remainder of this comment is copied from an earlier comment to another editor who is not applying the principle of WP:RS:
Don't be confused by what the show's graphic says; graphic designers don't decide the names of shows. The graphic is telling you both the name of the show, and its host. A graphic is allowed to do that. If you read, say, the press release announcing Shuster's selection as the host of the show, they put the words "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" in quotes. Same thing with the transcript for the most recent show. You are also welcome to check your local TV listings, the source code to the 1600 Pa. Ave home page (which does not contain the words "with David"), and any number of other reliable sources (e.g. New York Times), which is the only true criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia.

User:Cirt added a Dyk credit for the article on my talk, but the article is missing a DYK tag, and also is missing from the archive. Cirt told me to contact User:Dravecky, who was in charge of adding DYK tags on the article talk, as per discussion above. Can you please help me? Is the article a DYK? Where is the article entry? I searched in the archive and nomination page by using Ctrl + F, maybe i missed it. --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
