Tallest Tower in Florida

This claim is not true any longer. When it was built in 1980 it was the tallest in Florida, but several other towers have surpassed the height of the WESH tower (wikipedia user James32746).

I changed it then. I believe this. --A3RO (mailbox) 00:11, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was never true. In 1978, WTVY in Dothan, Alabama built a 1900 foot tower just south of the Florida-Alabama state line. For that reason, WESH referred to their new tower as the (I'm paraphrasing since it has been over 30 years) "tallest tower of any Florida TV station" and referred to it in their promos as "Florida's Tallest Attraction". FYI, I worked for WESH at the time and clearly remember how carefully they described it to avoid (mis)claiming that it was the tallest structure in Florida.

The 1978 NewsCenter 2 images

Does the gallery of NewsCenter 2 images from 1978 really need to be there? It is the only example of its kind I can find on any Wikipedia article on TV stations. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. The images may break fair use policy anyways, so I removed them. —Whomp [T] [C] 18:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:2WESH.PNG

Image:2WESH.PNG 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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 04:40, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use criteria

The use of images not in compliance with our fair-use criteria or our policy on nonfree content is not appropriate, and the images have been removed. Please do not restore them. — Moe ε 19:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Wesh 1987.gif

Image:Wesh 1987.gif 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.

Ross the Intern?

What does the commment about a Ross the Intern appearance on The Tonight Show have to do with WESH? 24.136.46.74 (talk) 17:25, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one has responded to this, I'm removing the item. 24.136.46.74 (talk) 13:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current On-Air Staff

Why do we no longer mention the current on-air staff? I understand it is hard to cite the former staff, but citing the current staff is very easy and really adds to the page. A lot of people are disappointed the on-air staff sections have been removed from many television station pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.179.197.96 (talk) 16:41, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Significant trimming of Former Staff section

I just cut everyone out of the alumni section that does not have their own Wikipedia page or have a reference to establish their notability and verify that they worked at they station. This is the current consensus procedure, based on discussions at WP:WikiProject Television Stations and at the Village Pump. The rationales are as follows:

Most importantly, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
Secondarily, per WP:V, we cannot include information that is not verifiable and sourced. I'm not certain how it would even be possible to source this information.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

All of the people with their own pages are notable enough to appear on this list. However, if you look at pages about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of info, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher).
