Thank you and your colleague today for WWJ-TV, introduced: "Ask either of us about the most culturally significant TV station we've written and this will be our unequivocal answer. Channel 62 in Detroit started life in September 1975, after a years-long struggle to secure financing, as WGPR-TV, the first Black-owned TV station in the United States. Owned by a Black Masonic group, it was a high-visibility station at its launch with very ambitious programming plans, key portions of which never materialized. However, some of its local shows stuck, and it produced a string of notable local and national Black broadcast professionals. In 1994, a major TV station affiliation switch swept the nation and left CBS looking for a new affiliate in Detroit. CBS failed to secure a better station, and the desperate network bought WGPR-TV from the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons, in the process removing the Black- and community-oriented programming channel 62 had long carried (and raising some community outcry). Today, the former WGPR studios are on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the old TV studio is a museum devoted to its history. CBS renamed the station WWJ-TV, for the radio station it owned there. For many years, it never thoroughly invested in this high-number station. It floated but quickly abandoned an attempt to start a news department in 1995; upon merging with WKBD-TV, that station's ailing news department briefly extended to channel 62 before dying; and there was a morning weather-and-news program for a few years. That changed in a big way in February, when a full online streaming service and news department known as CBS News Detroit debuted. This is a big dog of a project, and it's one that we have found quite fulfilling. It is also Nathan's first time at FAC."

Not sure how you got only 170, but there were about 1200 transclusions of this template. Fortunately I managed to automate 1000 of the conversions but I wasn't expecting to need to do this much work! Primefac (talk) 16:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac Presumably it was being transcluded in another template? I had no idea. Also, the article moves you just made should not have been done.

Hi, I wanted to belatedly thank you for all the improvements you made to WSTR-TV and other Cincinnati-area articles. Many of these station articles have suffered from poorly informed speculation, so I really appreciate the work you've done to get the citations in order.

Incidentally, I've started to map some of these stations' studios and towers in OpenHistoricalMap, which would eventually make it easier to put early station histories in context. For example, until I mapped the past and current studios of WXIX-TV, I hadn't realized the station had moved across town and back to essentially the same block that it started on. For WBQC-LD, plotting the signal range around its old location would help to illustrate why cable companies found it so easy to ignore them for so long. There are some technical hurdles for embedding OHM content into Wikipedia articles like the existing OSM maps, but the main obstacle is the lack of data.

Please let me know if I can help with any questions you have about OHM, and thanks again!

 – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 03:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mxn I had not heard of OHM before, so this is cool. I can top your second example—we can get contour maps for stations (something I've pioneered in the last year), and there are articles that use them (e.g. Nebraska Television Network, New Country Y-107). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated note: My public broadcasting mind, thought the Nebraska Television Network was named something else, even though, I think having a contour map for Nebraska Public Media's Television stations would be cool as well as helpful. mer764KCTV^(Talk) 19:52, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The correct procedure for dealing with questionably sourced claims is to add a "possibly contains original research" tag at the top of the article or "citation needed" tags after the individual disputed claims, and then give interested readers a few weeks to accumulate sources. Correct procedure is NOT to indiscriminately delete half of the article! 98.234.13.133 (talk) 01:05, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll first note that I did not handle all of the deletions, but I'll also note this. KPYX is one of about 150 pages I have that has been written to the Good article criteria with a view to being nominated for GA later, in addition to 113 GAs that I already have. Most are TV stations. It'll be very difficult for me to do that with as much unreferenced, or unreferenceable to anything but a schedule, material as was added in those edits.

I've spent a lot of time lately excising cruft from our coverage of TV stations, in some cases reducing the article text size by 60 percent or more. That sometimes means that material is removed because a reliable source cannot support it. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:11, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sammi. I really loved the improvements you made for KCTV Channel 5, KSHB-TV Channel 41, KSMO-TV Channel 62, and KCPT Channel 19. However, I think it'll might be cool working on or improving the articles for KMBC-TV Channel 9 and WDAF-TV Channel 4. KMCI Channel 38 and KCWE Channel 29 might be more difficult since those are some new TV stations in KC terms. Keep up the good work. mer764KCTV^(Talk) 02:34, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mer764Wiki I've done KMCI, but it's not the most interesting station. KCWE is a prime candidate for a de-sludge a la my recent KAUT-TV work (the same editor left extra-dense material in both). I have a good amount of KC material from doing 5, 19, 41, and 62...and the market is frankly a goldmine of content. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:11, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know you already did KMCI. Next step is a de-sludge for KCWE, and potentially Fox 4 KC, and KMBC 9. mer764KCTV^(Talk) 04:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations to that series! I never looked at it like that, but think I might join the club, even last year when I was determined to drop out completely. Tough, yes. Two days ago, I wrote that I remembered four subjects on the Main page and Vami.

The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago).

Yesterday I learned that a friend suddenly died; we both belonged to a group that traveled once a year for decades, and I remember her vivid talk last summer, same voice and sparkle as when we met. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

I would be interested in working on some of the articles about Chattanooga TV stations (or stations around the state). I am very familiar with the stations in Chattanooga, as I grew up watching them. On a related note, one idea that I've had for the last year or so is getting WSM (AM) or Grand Ole Opry (or both) to featured article status by their 100th anniversary next year. In case you don't know, WSM is one of the oldest and probably most famous radio stations in the world, and the Opry is the oldest radio program in North America that still airs. This isn't something I've actually taken very seriously up until this point, as I also hope to get Scopes trial (which was also the first trial in the US to be broadcast by radio, FYI) to TFA by its 100th anniversary next year; however, this is certainly something I would like to consider doing.

The article Rancho Solano Preparatory High School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Zero sources, no evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

@Nathan Obral: just pulled a User:Tvtonightokc with his expansion of WSVN and dedicated it to Vami. Yes, he was being bold, but is it overkill? With 418 citations, sporadic linking to common terms, etc. I smell some cruft here. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mvcg66b3r I'm very aware and in fact provided assistance for this project. It is our immediate next step to solicit an editor outside of this topic area to make suggestions to get it below 10,000 words.

WSVN is a station that has several factors to push up the size count, including its major-city status, age, density of newspaper (South Florida is particularly rich in paper), FCC license challenge, affiliation switch, and the fact that its style of newscasting took on outsized importance and influence. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a strong difference between writing for the sake of writing and doing a project off-and-on for the better part of two years. This project with WSVN already spawned WPST-TV and 1989 South Florida television affiliation switch as distinct articles. While I'm not particularly fond of the other editor in the original comment, I also don't think it's a good idea to bring them up by name in a talk page. Just my opinion.

I have ideas as to how to possibly port things over to other articles or spin off an article or two, but want to consult non-topic editors first and foremost on that. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 05:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: @BMarGlines: We know Gray has been dropping network logos from their station logos (particularly NBC and CBS affiliates), so most of these changes have to be real.

Thank you today for KCPQ, introduced: "For a television station that didn't broadcast in color at all for its first 19 years of broadcasting, channel 13 in western Washington sure has had a colorful history. A summary would run too long even for FAC, but it can be roughly divided into six periods: its foundation as KMO-TV, the short-lived television adjunct of a long-running Tacoma radio station; the J. Elroy McCaw and Blaidon years as KTVW, which saw it run second-fiddle among local independent stations and ended in bankruptcy and a year of silence; its operation by the Clover Park School District as an educational station, curtailed by changing financial circumstances and new local exigencies; return to commercial operation under Kelly Broadcasting, which included Fox affiliation (in 1986), relocation of facilities to Seattle (in 1997), and the beginning of a news department (in 1998) and left KCPQ the definitive fourth force in regional television; 20 years under Tribune Broadcasting, which built KCPQ up substantially in the area of news, and briefly Nexstar Media Group; and its operation as an owned-and-operated station of Fox after the network had coveted it since the 1990s. Along the way, readers will learn of its status as the "funny, fuzzy" station on Seattle's TV dial; the court-appointed trustee who saw enough during an episode of Batman; and Fox's almost-plan to abandon KCPQ and build a Fox-owned station out of the TV equivalent of sticks and stones."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sammi, first, I'm a big fan of your work to improve radio and television station articles and have been following them over the last year. Thank you for your contributions. Second, I wanted to ask if you entertain requests. :) I continue to volunteer as an alumnus of my college radio station WYBC (AM)/WYBC-FM (probably should be combined) and wanted to ask if you might be interested in improving it, or if you have suggestions on missing source material. I would be able to track down some free use media, such as photos and audio (station IDs and promos) from over the years, depending on the length of the article. It's an interesting station, being organizationally student-run as an independent non-profit separate from the university, but also running a professional FM station often at the top of the New Haven market. Let me know what you think? czar 14:04, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Czar, these would be promising articles for improvement if more New Haven paper were available and still might be if a Yale student publication is. WYBC-FM screams "possible DYK" with the right resources. NewsBank has full-text articles from 1988 on for the Register, but that's it. If there is a full-run digitized version of the Register, it'd be with NewsBank (as this is a Hearst publication), and they don't even have it. Given the coverage area, the Courant (which I've mined for articles including WTIC-TV and the mammoth at WUVN) is not likely to be of use. By the way, no merger of those two articles would fly: the stations had lengthy and separate histories. What strikes me as odd is that Yale filed for a commercial FM in the late 50s. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The student-run Yale Daily News is fully archived online here. It has more editorial control than most student papers (and call itself the "oldest college daily") so I'd consider it among the best of its class, but I've always worked with the understanding that student papers weren't reliable enough for the encyclopedia, no?

The lack of New Haven papers is a shame. I've reached out to Yale Libraries to ask about access to their digital versions of the New Haven Journal Courier family of newspapers. Yale might also have the Register beyond Hearst's 1988 archives (listing says to 1961).

re: split, the Yale Broadcasting Company used leaky cable before the FM and had other history (among the first to broadcast student television; running the Ivy Network; free speech case against the FCC that went to the appelate court; separate Internet radio streams) that might not fit neatly into dedicated articles on the FM and AM, but perhaps that's a third article instead of a merger.

I'll ask around about filing as a commercial station in the 50s—was that uncommon?

I wasn't sure if there were any other industry periodicals that might have more too, in case you have access to Radio Daily-Television Daily, etc.

How do you create the clips that can be viewed for free? I saw you made that change on some articles I've created or edited and I can't figure out how it's done. Thanks. Billmckern (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Billmckern, I need to make a guide for people that have subscriptions, but there is a Clip tool in the upper right hand corner on the image pages.

1. Select the area you want to clip.
2. Select "Save to My Folder" in the tooltip.
3. Enter a title (I always use the article title). What I like to do for newer papers is enter the page number (e.g. E-1) in the description because "Page 35" is not the actual page. I also usually enter a tag (in my case, usually a broadcast station call sign) to facilitate searching for your clippings in the admittedly deficient Newspaper Clippings search.
4. Check the box at the bottom labeled Public. It's not on by default. If you don't do this, nobody can view your clipping!
5. The clipping will be saved to your My Folder, but with a URL like https://www.genealogybank.com/doc/newspapers/image/v2%3A136518060B9CC65F%40GB3NEWS-19681DFEB8E81A96%402441981-1968156C318BE44E%4036-1968156C318BE44E?clipid=mphzvtkqzorpaeeghcajgvyebgqshpdd_ip-10-166-46-116_1710455849122. It will also be saved to the Newspaper Clippings section with a URL like https://www.genealogybank.com/newspaper-clippings/seen-channel-62-here-ur-officially-linked-tv-station-san-bernardino-valley/mphzvtkqzorpaeeghcajgvyebgqshpdd_ip-10-166-46-116_1710455849122 . You want the latter, and you don't need the page title automatically added. Note that the text after the last slash in the scond URL is the same as after the ?clipid= in the first URL. You can do a regex find-and-replace search like I did for existing clippings with clip IDs (find: \/doc\/newspapers\/image/v2*(.+?)\$?clipid\=, replace with /newspaper-clippings//, note the second slash), but any unclipped GBank links on the encyclopedia now need to be clipped. You can find these with a search like Special:Search/insource:"doc newspapers image" — note that some are archive URLs that need to be kept or, ideally, replaced, and I'm fairly sure some of the pages I work on have borked archives now for GBank.
