Political Cesspool

I fixed all the refs for The Political Cesspool and came up with an alternate hook that does have a third-party source. Thanks for all your advice on this; I'm a relatively inexperienced WP user so I need all the help I can get. But I think the Cesspool article is ready to be re-considered for DYK now. Stonemason89 (talk) 15:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The references are now formatted in acceptable manner (although using the {{cite}} template would have been even better) and I see you've made an alternate hook suggestion. Another editor will review this hook in the next few days. - Dravecky (talk) 22:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

KOHU

Hey Dravecky :) Was doing a little recent changes patrol and seen the KOHU page popup. Checked it out (just to give it a read) and seen the logo. I did a quick Google search to see if I could locate a larger one and found this. Hope it helps :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • May 2, 2009 @ 08:23

Thanks, I saw that one too, but it's not the current logo. I tried like heck to find a better, larger example but that's extracted from a newspaper ad they placed in the Hermiston Herald. - Dravecky (talk) 08:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
I should have known you would have found that one first :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • May 2, 2009 @ 08:26

Kogl

Just a heads-up that I found out a couple of days ago that {{disambig}} now takes parameters. So, in the mixed-case situations like this one that you've just created, you can type {{disambig|callsign}}, and it'll both throw up the regular disambig template and drop it in the call sign category. Saves a few keystrokes not having to type the full category out. Mlaffs (talk) 23:52, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Good to know. Thanks! - Dravecky (talk) 23:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Category Edits

I am a little confused on why you removed categories from this and other pages. In the linked case, WJYJ links to the WPER page hence the category link. I am confused as to why it was removed. - NeutralHomer • Talk • May 6, 2009 @ 06:15

Because multiple instances of the same category link don't do anything to the article except cause sorting errors. And any sorting parameter put on any category should match the actual article which it is sorting. So even if the article covers multiple stations, it only gets one geographical tag (per state) and should always reflect the callsign used to title the article. - Dravecky (talk) 06:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
So, even though say WJYJ redirects to WPER, there shouldn't be a category link for WJYJ on the WPER page? - NeutralHomer • Talk • May 6, 2009 @ 06:31
No, because the article doesn't show up in the category for each identical category tag, only the last identical category tag. So if, as it was before, there's a tag for PER then one for JYJ, the WPER article shows up only one time... in the Js, not the Ps. - Dravecky (talk) 06:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
oooooh! See I thought it showed up twice. OK, now I understand :) Thanks! - NeutralHomer • Talk • May 6, 2009 @ 06:38

WFLX

Just wondering what you think about all of the user generated logos recently posted on WFLX by TRICKBAKER. They are all original work by this editor and I doubt every logo has ever made it on-air. There is no talk page for TRICKBAKER. Is there a template for welcoming someone to wikipedia? Are those logos appropriate? Strafidlo (talk) 19:10, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

There are a variety of such templates, but I prefer the simple {{welcome}} template. I've also left a note on TRICKBAKER's talk page asking for clarification. Upon examining the logos, they appear to be authentic station logos and, even if they are his work as a graphic artist, I doubt that he holds the copyright to the images. Let's give him a bit of time to respond before moving on this. - Dravecky (talk) 20:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:WCRT_(AM)#Merge_discussion

I know that you're a little more focused on the western half of the U.S., but I thought that the content work linked to above might tickle your fancy. One of these days, I'll strip off the gnome costume and tackle something like this myself — in the meantime, I thought it was worthwhile to bring it to the attention of someone whose skills I trust. Mlaffs (talk) 20:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, and I've left a reply in depth on the article's talk page. I've also done quite a bit of basic cleanup work on the WCRT (AM) article to kick things off. - Dravecky (talk) 21:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Infobox critique

Me again — I've just tried adding and filling in my first infobox, for KFFA (AM), and I'd be interested in getting your feedback on how I did if you'd be willing. I'm particularly interested in knowing if there was anything that I should have seen in the FCC records and included that I didn't. Mlaffs (talk) 04:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I only have a few ticky-tacky notes here: the slogan should be put in quotation marks, I usually format the website address as [http://www.kffa.com kffa.com] so that only the "relevant" part of the url is displayed, and the airdate was given with a source in the body of the article so it could have been added to the infobox with no additional research tools. While I was there, I added a logo and touched up a few other things but as it stood your infobox was just fine with only a couple of essentially cosmetic touches missing. Great first effort! - Dravecky (talk) 06:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for lending a second set of eyes! Yeah, a logo … don't know if I feel like getting within 10 feet of image policy, but we'll see. I noticed that you added a space on each line after the pipe, and also removed the three lines related to share, as well as the 'erp' and 'haat' lines. I don't ever remember seeing the share lines filled in, so I'm guessing that they have essentially been deprecated and probably need to be stripped out of the infobox template, but I wasn't sure about the rest — personal preference, not applicable only for an AM station, or should they also be stripped from the template? Mlaffs (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
The share lines are deprecated for U.S. stations because of Arbitron's policies but remain in the basic template because international stations may have ratings data from other sources. The ERP and HAAT lines apply only to FM stations just as the Power line applies only to AM stations. The space after the pipe is a personal cosmetic preference that makes zero difference to the displayed infobox. The logo thing is pretty painless—upload it as the logo of an organization, fill in the article, purpose (the template will say Org, replace with Infobox), and website lines, then choose the "Logo" license and you're all set. You should also edit the resulting text to add KFFA (or whatever complete call sign) for proper sorting. - Dravecky (talk) 14:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, the next one I started to work on was an FM station, so I was answering the ERP/HAAT question myself as you were typing this! Thanks, Mlaffs (talk) 14:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

It's the right length, but the featured article is unusually short and has no picture for some reason. This will all be fixed in about two hours when the new FA goes on the main page. - Dravecky (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

DYK

How is it not expired? Its been there for 5 days. Synergy 23:49, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Because it's still under discussion. Hooks do not magically expire after 5 days—the rules require they be nominated within five days of creation/expansion but the discussion can last for several more days after that. - Dravecky (talk) 23:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:WHAL-AM logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:WHAL-AM logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced info about living people

Hi! I should have explained this in the edit summary of the first edit. Anyway, I removed the block of text because it includes unreferenced information about living people - of course there are dead people in the text I removed, but there are also living people (i.e. Laura Miller) - The info should be referenced, with each person having a reference stating that he/she lived in PH. It helps to look at news.google.com to find refs for them.

If you wonder why I remove first, often it is the easiest, least time consuming way to make an article compliant with BLP. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Since this is not a biography and residence in this north Dallas neighborhood is hardly controversial, a few {{fact}} tags would betters serve your purpose. In the extreme, rather than an unexplained deletion, perhaps you could move the text in question to the talk page with a note laying out your reason for removing it from the article. It will be much easier for a motivated editor to find references for the text than to have to recreate it from whole cloth. - Dravecky (talk) 19:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:BLP covers information about any living person as mentioned in any article, not just articles about living people. The page says "This policy applies equally to biographies of living persons and to biographical material about living persons on other pages." - please keep this in mind. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:36, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Indeed, and that text clearly refers to "Contentious material about living persons" with the key word being contentious. There is nothing contentious about the text in question so it can safely remain, properly tagged, without harm or policy violation. - Dravecky (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Some of the most seemingly mundane things about people can be contentious - Say, in a political campaing Politician Candidate A says that Candidate B lives in Preston Hollow as a way to smear B as being seen as "too rich" or something like that. Anyway, please take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons/Archive_21#Folks.2C_we_urgently_need_a_rule_for_.22Notable_people.22_lists_in_cities.27_articles.21
Pointillist said: 'They're potentially dangerous. Because they are outside the biographical article space, other editors won't spot inconsistent or doubtful material, so they are a relatively undefended entry point for negligent or malicious errors. As BLP says "Material about living persons must be sourced very carefully. Without reliable third-party sources, it may include original research and unverifiable statements, and could lead to libel claims." Very few editors are likely to check these lists to see who has been wrongly included, because "proving a negative" checking takes exceptional motivation.'
Therefore I would like for lists to have high quality sources. For every Preston Hollow resident, he or she needs a newspaper article, magazine, or other BLP verification that the person lives there. For every person who is said to have left the neighborhood, you need a source that says "X left Preston Hollow" WhisperToMe (talk) 19:51, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I found, looking through the edit history, that many of the entries had been sourced before - I'm returning it into a simple list format, not saying who is still in Preston Hollow and who isn't - just saying that X person lived there. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Update: Here is the notable people section, now in list format: Preston_Hollow,_Dallas,_Texas#Notable_residents - It's sourced to show who had lived in Preston Hollow. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
That's much better—but I wonder who yanked out all the references and to what purpose? - Dravecky (talk) 20:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure - they may have been lost by various anon edits. Anyway, if you want Preston Hollow to get "Good Article" status see River Oaks, Houston an article about a similar neighborhood. Its GA nominations are listed there. I'm also trying to get Vickery Meadow into a GA as well. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:31, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Question

I've got a question. Would you mind proof-reading my sandbox. I'm going to put that edit on KVMX. According to my understanding from you fixed on KDFO, there's not suppose to be a bracket around the month, date, and year, correct? Just proof-read it and let me know if it looks good now. I'm going to put that revision history of KVMX that's in my sandbox on KVMX because KVMX has the same problem under history, just need you to see if everything in the sandbox looks correct now. Thanks. By the way, I didn't mess with your edit on KDFO. You can fix whatever needs to be fixed in the my sandbox, since that's going on the KVMX page under history. If you see KVMX, you can see why I'm fixing that. Definitely needs it. Thanks for fixing up KDFO. I did correct an error that was probably accident, it's on the bottom part of KDFO, I forget what it says, but when you changed BKO to DFO, you accidently put DFOO, I corrected it for you, that's the only thing. The rest I left.--JoeCool950 (talk) 06:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

William Windsor (goat)

Thank you very much for supporting the DYK of William Windsor (goat).

I thought it interesting too, when I saw a mention on the BBC News (re. his retirement) the other day. As I wrote it a few hours ago, it appeared in more and more newspapers. It was in The Sun and the Dialy Mail today - UK's biggest 2 - and is also covered on MSNBC, Fox News and others. I think they like the pics.

Speaking of which, you said you'd added one, but I can't see that? I previously thought that File:RoyalRegimentWalesGoat gobeirne.jpg was him, but it's not, it is his predecessor. I haven't been able to source a pic - I've tried. It would definitely make the article much better; there are now some lovely pics in the external refs.

Anyway - thanks again. As I say, I knocked the article together quite quickly, and whilst I'm confident it's OK, well referenced etc, it could certainly do with work, so if you have any ideas, please dive in. GA potential, I hope. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  16:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Noting that it was the wrong image, another editor removed the image from the hook. Here's hoping you can source another image soon. - Dravecky (talk) 17:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I am getting slow :) - NeutralHomer • Talk • 19:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Dougweller does raise a good point that the notablity guidelines that have been linked in the AfDs haven't been touched since 2007. It might do some good to go in and revise them, update them, add the current precedent standing notablity guidelines (license = notable) and give the page a wholesale update. Is this something that you and Mlaffs could do since you all know the rules and policies better than anyone? - NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:28, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
We should discuss it on the WPRS talk page before we crack open the guidelines. - Dravecky (talk) 23:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Okie Dokie...I would be willing to take part in that discussion :) - NeutralHomer • Talk • 01:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Queues

I first came here to ask you to bump the queues up, but now I'm taking a look at Next next and a few hooks are questionable. The last one is not hooky at all, and the second to last seems to violate BLP. What do you think? Shubinator (talk) 23:49, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, you caught me just after I promoted them but I did shuffle the list (now in Q2) so a quirkier one is in the last position. I'll take another look for BLP violations. - Dravecky (talk) 23:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I've put the fraudster hook back on the shelf and promoted another non-US bio hook in its place. Let the continued discussion begin! - Dravecky (talk) 23:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Hopefully this weekend I can review a some hooks. Unfortunately weekdays are going to be very busy for me the next few months. Shubinator (talk) 00:02, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
No worries. The review situation is pretty dire at the moment and we could use some experienced, trusted folks like you sorting through the hooks right now. - Dravecky (talk) 00:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Did you know

Hi Dravecky, I always edit the section only because obviously there'd be a lot of scrolling to do if I did otherwise! Additionally, the template for adding a DYK wikilinks the title automatically. Perhaps you meant to direct your comment on my talk page to somebody else? Thanks! JulieSpaulding (talk) 05:48, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Wait, I see where I went wrong now. Yes, I was editing the section only but deleted the edit summary that said I did so and replaced it with my own edit summary. I wasn't editing the whole page, but I guess my edit summary made it look like I was :) Thanks for bringing that to my attention! JulieSpaulding (talk) 05:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
No worries. Fixing that will make life easier for all concerned. - Dravecky (talk) 05:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
What about the wikilinking in the title? It looks like the template does it automatically. JulieSpaulding (talk) 06:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
The current template does not but some folks insist on doing a cut-n-paste nomination which often introduces formatting problems as they are incomplete, use deprecated code, or are simply wrong. If you look at the section titles, you'll see that almost none (and that should be "none) of them are links. - Dravecky (talk) 06:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Dravecky, hmm... maybe you're right (I did some testing in my userspace and it didn't link the header). I've never done a copy and paste nomination, so I'm not sure why it's wikilinking. JulieSpaulding (talk) 06:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Oregon Radio Station DYKs

WikiProject Oregon Gold Badge
This user has earned a Gold Badge for contributing 15 Oregon related DYKs!
Great job with all the DYKs. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry its a bit late, I think I was busy with finals/my final paper when you hit 15. I had no idea there was that much info on these stations. In addition to the barnstar, we have the {{WPOR DYK gold}} service award for 15 as well. Then when you get to 50 there is the platinum, which should be easy with all the existing stubs for most of the stations. Great job and good luck. PS, thanks for promoting those DYKs of mine, some people I guess don't get irony. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

No worries, although I guess now would be a good time to ask: do you count per promoted hook or per article in promoted hooks? In other words, if I get "...that KXYZ and KOKO are made up Oregon radio stations for this example?" to the main page, does that count as 1 (for the hook) or 2 (for the articles)? Just curious. - Dravecky (talk) 07:40, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
We count the articles, so I know you had at least one double hook, which would be two DYKs. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Excellent. (Two doubles and a quadruple, actually.) By my count, I'm at 28 right now with another in the queue. (The other two on the suggestions page are from Alabama and Missouri. Once I'd done the two radio stations in Enterprise, Oregon, I just had to do KIRK (FM).) - Dravecky (talk) 07:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
