CKMI cable carriage in Montreal before Global

In the CKMI-TV-1 page, Blueboy96 inserted the claim that CKMI was carried on cable in Montreal during its CBC affiliation, a claim that is definitely false. Each time I deleted this information, Blueboy96 re-inserted this false information.

Blueboy96, how did you find out that CKMI was carried on cable in Montreal before it became Global?

Some reviewer notes

The other citations check out, and the nominator has done a very good job of citing the article without close WP:CLOP. I have spot checked many references and I checked the Earwig score. The nominator has done an excellent job of interpreting references and the prose is very accessible. The extensive use of newspapers as reliable sources is a credit to the nominator. I have rarely seen so many newspapers used in an article. I did see the use of a tweet in the article with citation 59, and Twitter is red in our Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, but I consider it fine because it is backed up by another reliable source.

The infobox is filled in and provides relevant information. The tables at the bottom of the article are helpful. The external links and navigation templates are all very useful and they follow our manual of style for WP:LAYOUT. The use of a quote box appears to be ok, I cannot find anything in our manual of style to say that a block-quote should be treated another way. Lightburst (talk) 15:30, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Checklist

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Notes are above

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Notes are above. I do not find any issues.
Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
The nominator expertly interprets the sources. The information is all verifiable.

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
The sources are primarily newspapers and when a redlined source is used, the information is not controversial and it is backed by a secondary source.

C. It contains no original research:
See notes above

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Well done. Lightburst (talk) 15:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
The subject matter and prose is all within the range of material that belongs in the article.

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
I do not find evidence of POV pushing, and the article presents a fair and balanced reading of this station's history.
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Prior to this review the article was last edited 2.5 months ago. So it is stable.
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
The article has two images and both are free and clear with captions. Canada does have [1] for buildings. The logo appears to have the correct license. Lightburst (talk) 23:51, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
The two images are appropriate and they are relevant. Lightburst (talk) 23:02, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Thank you for your work and dedication. Lightburst (talk) 15:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 17:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/CKMI-DT; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Comment: I think these hooks border on misleading. The first thoughts of your average reader would be of MI5, the British intelligence agency. Not good if they don't click the link and read the article. 〜 Festucalex • talk 20:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Festucalex: These are intended as quirky hooks. This might make a good quirky hook.^(?) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Sammi Brie: Too quirky, in my opinion. 〜 Festucalex • talk 21:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Drive-by comment - It's not like we've never had similar bait & switch hooks before. It would be one thing if it was phrased to be disparaging to MI5 somehow, but it's not. I think it's fun. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:40, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:29, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough, interesting, and sourced (as is every paragraph); my first thought at seeing MI-5 was 'why has this got a dash in it, possibly not the intelligence agency'. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 06:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
