WVNZ-FM/WJFN History Mess
Kangaroo18 has made a MESS of the history of WVNZ-FM by moving it to WJFN over a redirect (it redirected to WFQY, which you created). This has, obviously, created a history mess and something the user wasn't supposed to do. Can you help, please? Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:26 on November 7, 2018 (UTC)

I could use some help trying to clarify some information given in this article. The person who I think added the information isn't on wikipedia often. It is the section using the word "desensing"; I can't find a meaning in any dictionary, online or print. I added a confusing section template; feel free to remove it if you can decipher and correct this section. The original creator of the article was Dravecky. Thanks! I will keep a check on your talk page for your response. User:Rudy2alan (talk)
