Article name

Is there a reason that this page is named WUPA (TV) and not WUPA? I see no hits on an FM or AM FCC database query for any stations with the call letters of WUPA. So unless there is some other entity such as an airport or radar station with this call sign, this page should be named WUPA per WP:TVS and WP:NC#Broadcasting. —A 04:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could Not Find Rest Of The Logo's

Do anyone have all the offical logos for each time period from when the station was WVEU, beacause I could not find it, so anyone can tell me where can I find it, that'll be good, thanks.--67.34.216.98 20:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History

There has GOT to be a way to make that history section less confusing. There are so many references to other stations in that section that it's very hard to read. Amnewsboy 10:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Callsign meaning

Someone please add it back, it is true. CoolKatt number 99999 03:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source to prove that it is true? If so, then it can go back in. —Whomp t/c 03:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Autoscoop Logo.png

Image:Autoscoop Logo.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.BetacommandBot 21:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs help

I don't understand how this article can only relate half of its content to the TV station itself, and then the other half goes into details about a theater sponsorship that should only be mentioned in passing, an auto show that sounds like just a differation of the various "Video Car Lot" shows annoying dealerships foist on us during the weekend (aka an infomercial), and an OK public affairs program. We need to focus less on all this stuff and stick to the facts about what the station is, its history and what usually meets TVS guidelines. I think the non-net programs can also be mentioned within a paragraph rather than a grid which seems superflous. Nate 22:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pass/Fail:

Prose comments

Some of the section headers in the History section have a timeline of years (1995–2006) while others do not (The independent years) can the years be included in each relevant section header for consistency?
- Done.

Construction, land mobile dispute, and STV years

In actuality, the owner was not Clint Murchison but Clyde A. Murchison, whom a 1982 news article described as Clint's great-nephew. could the paper the article was in (AJC) be included in the prose for context?
- Done.
However, its arrival was not a complete start-up for a myriad of technical reasons. I'm not quite sure what "a complete start-up" means in this context?
- Reworded.

The independent years

...an initial agreement reached to sell the station to the RBP Corporation, a Massachusetts concern, but no transaction was consummated. I had to look up what a concern was in this context because I was unfamiliar with the term. If this is referring to Concern (business) could that perhaps be wikilinked for others unfamiliar with that term?
- Simply reworded.
WVEU featured an eclectic mix, a function of being the "poor cousin" of Atlanta independent television. If "poor cousin" is a quote could it be attributed to the source along with "quicker picker-upper"? Who considered the station to be these things?
- Added author information.

CBS 69?

The section header for WUPA#CBS 69? might need to be reworded; per MOS:SECTIONSTYLE, section headings should not be phrased as a question.
- Changed to "Almost a CBS affiliate"
it was an unexpected windfall. since the deal didn't go through should that perhaps be it would be an unexpected windfall or it would have been an unexpected windfall?
- CBS went through and bought it.

UPN affiliation (1995–2006)

Despite the upheaval, WVEU came out with something just as valuable to its future. This is probably just my personal opinion but I feel like that sentence could be removed entirely and it not affect the article. Who says it's just as valuable?
- Reworded.

@Sammi Brie: I spot checked about 10 or so of the sources and there were no verifiability concerns. The only issues I could find were the minor points above. - Aoidh (talk) 06:27, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
