Fair use rationale for Image:Wbaa.JPG

Image:Wbaa.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

WFUC

It is unfortunate that this article treats WBAA-FM together with WBAA, as the FM station is much newer (granted in the late 1980s and licensed in the early 1990s), and it has an interesting history as the only station to which the FCC has ever granted an (arguably) obscene callsign, WFUC. The original callsign was assigned automatically, as was then the procedure; it was next in sequence after WFUB (97.3A Orange, now WJDF). 121a0012 (talk) 05:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that KCUF (El Jebel, Colorado) is also an obscene call sign but your other point is a good one. I've added a split-apart tag to that effect. - Dravecky (talk) 07:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 19:00, 20 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article is well-written, referenced appropriately with RS sources, follows policy, hooks are interesting and supported by inline citation. Well over 5x expanded (2568 B (430 words) → 14 kB (2352 words)). I lean towards ALT0, so if the closer closes this in time for April 4th that would be fantastic.

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 19:22, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

The acronym for MIPM isn't used again in the lede Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed
It expanded to a second FM station in 1993 - considering we've already spoken about the FM station, this reads like we have three stations. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

as part of an agreement between the institutions - well, it would have to be agreed. I don't think this actually says anything. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to remove redundancy

General

"The Hot School Dinner",[14] "Home Canning of Meats", "Bread from Indiana Flour", and "Elimination of Smoke, Dust, and Fumes in Industrial Processes" - are these all proper nouns? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- These are the actual titles of the lectures given in the sources available.
remaining fraction - that's pretty hard maths, perhaps we should spell it out. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
FCC is introduced twice in the body. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a typo, probably from muscle memory since I don't write too many stations of this age. Fixed so the first mention correctly reads (FRC) for the Federal Radio Commission.
From 1975 to 1976 - in 1975 and 1976. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed
last university radio station in the Big Ten - what's a Big Ten? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- A Big Ten Conference. Wikilinked. (There are now two links to this page in the article, but one uses an older name.)
The sale was finalized on July 1, 2022 - bit weird for a para. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Merged into the preceding paragraph.
