Gwent Broadcasting

[edit]

Thanks for the kind words about my first ILR excursion. UK paper is a bit harder to work with than US paper in terms of article depth, but I have Broadcast through my institutional ProQuest. When I saw that a lot of Newport newspaper was being added, and I saw the state of that article, I saw an obvious DYK project that could fix what turned out to be a longstanding error. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I don't know how much coverage local radio got in its heyday. It has now sadly declined and there are no properly local stations left. I used to have access to britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ through the Wikipedia Library, which was useful for all sorts of things, but access no longer seems to be available - Dumelow (talk) 07:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ilovestreaming Wikipedia:Inline citation might be of use. Are they website sources? The easiest thing to do is to link the webpage directly between these tags <ref>[http://www.example.com Example]</ref> at the end of the sentence being cited. This will give you something that looks like Example in a list at the bottom of the page. I don't think the article currently contains enough information to pass our WP:Notability tests. Is the article about yourself? This is strongly discouraged per Wikipedia:Autobiography - Dumelow (talk) 08:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

issue 2

[edit]

Hello, I see you messaged me about my DYK not being new. Well I looked at the page to realize there was nothing on that page that had to do with my DYK. I added it in, so does it count as new now or what do I have to do?ThaFDA (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:58, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ThaFDA, thanks for your contribution to the article. Unfortunately under rules to appear in the DYK section the article itself has to be newly created, significantly expanded (ie. more than 5x increased in length) or recently listed as a WP:Good Article to meet the criteria. Unfortunately Basket Case (song) doesn't come under any of these categories. If you want it to appear in DYK your best bet is probably to try to take it through the Good Article process. Otherwise if you have an interesting fact on another song that doesn't have an article you could look to create one and nominate it? - Dumelow (talk) 15:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
