This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the
Capital District WikiProject?
If you want other people to help with the writing of Capital District-related articles as well, maybe you should consider starting a Capital District WikiProject. :) --
WAWB-TV 65 Page
Yo, What's up Scrabbleship,
This is Time1, you can merge the
WAMC
Wouldn't a proper page move be better than a cut and paste move on this article (in order to preserve the history)? I will merge the page histories later when I have some time. Have you done this before, let me know and I will merge those too. Feel free to contact me anytime you need help, I can delete the target article for you when necessary to effect a proper move :-). NoSeptember talk 22:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I tried doing a proper page move, however at the time I thought the existance of "WAMC" being a disambiguation page for "WAMC (Albany)" would not work. Right after I did the cut-and-paste, I realized my simple error. I'll do the switcharoo at some point so that the history of "WAMC (Albany)" becomes that of "WAMC". Scrabbleship 23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I took care of it. The North Carolina station is in Goldsboro (see List of radio stations in North Carolina by city) but has no article. You are right that WAMC should not be a redirect just because of a minor station. NoSeptember talk 00:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)]
WLNS
Where are you from? Obviously not Mid-Michigan as I saw the changeover from WJIM-TV to WLNS. Steelbeard1 01:51, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Before this gets out of hand, here is the text of a New York Times summary dated July 20, 1983 announcing Gross's sale of WJIM-TV to Universal Communications aka Unicom aka Bakke Communications (all one in the same).
The Universal Communications Corporation has agreed to buy two television stations - WJIM-TV in Lansing, Mich., and WKBT-TV in La-Crosse, Wis. - from Gross Telecasting Inc. of Lansing for $45 million in cash.
Universal, which is owned by Forstmann Little & Company and a former CBS president, John D. Backe, announced previously that it plans to become a broad-based communications company. Recently it acquired WRGB-TV of Schenectady, N.Y., from the General Electric Broadcasting Company.
As the saying goes, six of one, half dozen of the other. My apologies Scrabbleship 03:21, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
How do you explain the on-air name of WLNS's owner being Backe Communications? Please mention Backe or face having the section revised again. Steelbeard1 11:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Albany, NY Arbitron Ratings
I noticed that you removed these ratings and didn't see an explanation on Talk or the edit summary. Without that info, it's difficult to tell if an editor is vandalizing pages. Antonrojo 03:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- I had neglected to put a reason for their deletion, and I apologize. I did it for a variety of reasons namely that new ratings will arrive in a few weeks and that having them on that page is both very atypical and clunky. Also, it may be slightly risky to put such ratings in an article given that several years back Arbitron went on a streak where threatening letters were sent to several message boards which went as extreme as barring the posting of statements such as "WXXX is #3". I should also mention that that policy was both selective enforcement and that I am vhemently against such restrictive policies.
- In short, it was clunky and too much information and not having them in the main Albany, New York article flows better. Anyone who has spent considerable time in Albany proper (or lived out of town and heard the Andrew Wilkow take on the city) knows that there is no way that WGNA-FM is #1 in the city limits. Thanks again. Scrabbleship 11:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Image tagging for Image:Cdta nabi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cdta nabi.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

- I know this is a bot posting, but for those who are reading those pictures are my own work. I merely had neglected to put in a licence and the problem has since been fixed.Scrabbleship 00:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

CW Tennessee template
I added the UPN and WB links to the CW and MyNetworkTV templates because at least for the next two weeks, those networks still exist. However, whether they are listed or not is a trivial matter. Lee359 13:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Erin Esurance
There was an on-going discussion regarding whether Erin Esurance should be merged with the Esurance article. The flow of the relatively young debate seemed to favor keeping the articles separate, but I see that you have combined the pages today. Please show me where a consensus was reached regarding this issue, or if you acted unilateraly, please show me the specific Wikipedia policy regarding the handling of marketing mascots and/or any other Wikipedia policies that may have influenced your decision. Thank you. -Ntmg05 02:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Belo Corporation
Hello. I notice that you've done a reversion of an attempt to trim the {{Belo Corporation}} template. I'm not going to do any reversions as to avoid an edit war, but it'd be nice if this template could be trimmed somehow. perhaps a single-row with vertical columns for each broadcasting company would be a nice way to organize. drumguy8800 C T 07:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I agree that this template was overkill and started to clutter the templates themselves (I went ahead and removed it). On that note, I'm also thinking about merging a few of the templates under
My mission started out looking for hard to find templates (i.e. Template:F/H/V FM, which was Fresno, CA). As a result, I put them on a list under List of United States radio markets so that people would know where these templates were because I couldn't find them myself to begin with.
Anyway, I hope I have not frustrated you. (I probably did as well as several other people) By the way, I liked the way you redid the Long Island and Riverhead templates.
Best regards,

I've made the changes you've suggested; it proved easiest to semi-split the New Haven into the component branches.
