Removal on KVVU-TV and Gray Television

Hello, I believe you have made a mistake or just didn't care to watch the video created by independent journalists which showed proof of of the claims which makes me question how you felt it was unreliable if you didn't actually review any of it. But I guess you'd like to wait until other news articles report on it because you feel there is some issue with independent journalism if they're not linked to a corporate entity. A cited claim from KVVU-TV is just as good as a cited claim from Channel 5 (web channel), otherwise I believe I can remove every citation linked to KVVU-TV and other local media stations as unreliable sources which would basically remove more than half of KVVU-TV citations. Please reconsider and understand independent journalism that shows proof of the controversy is just as valid as corporate journalism. Gettinglit (talk) 01:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gettinglit: You forgot to sign your post. @Sammi Brie: Your take? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess the auto-sign feature got removed?.

It's fine if you'd like to wait for other news stations to report on it (which would be using the same cited source as I did for their report). We can also wait for the court records to become available to cite as the journalist is taking KVVU-TV to court over it.

I'm not adding it back until there's more citations to support it per your request. However I feel this is just censoring an independent journalist and their media group in favor of another despite the claims being cited and visually shown unless you're implying the journalist of committing fraud and faked the takedown request and all evidence of it shown or, if you just didn't actually bother to read any of it and still decided to remove it for some reason.

I've noticed the edit warring, as another voice here we should look at WP:NOT, WP:PRIMARYUSE, WP:UNDUE. This is self-reported "controversy" from a primary video source. We should wait for additional, reliable sources before putting undue weight on either article.

It's not about the source "committing fraud" or being unreliable. Fuser55 (talk) 01:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't believe there's any "edit warring" as I did not edit it back in after it was removed and even stated I'm not going to add it back in until there are most citations from other news organizations as well as the court records available from the lawsuit.

There's quite a few citations that can be removed for the things you have mentioned including citations by KVVU-TV itself but I feel removal of such things wouldn't be beneficial to anyone, as I feel the same about this case but respect both of your opinions and therefore will not edit it back until more citations are available to support it per your requests, but I do feel this clearly is just censoring a independent journalist and their media group who has shown significant evidence of the controversy in favor of a larger corporate media group.

Scripps News affiliates

On the affiliates section of this article, could you help with the an affiliate template and add stations according this RabbitEars link: https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=Scripps+News&sort=state? OWaunTon (talk) 16:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

CBUFT-DT

My edits to the above page are necessary because: 1. The piped links avoid redirects. 2. Only AM & SW stations in Canada do not carry suffixes; all other broadcast stations do (FM, analog TV, digital TV). 3. These stations with piped links have changed their callsigns since CBUFT-DT signed on as CBUFT-TV in 1976 & are there for historic clarification. Stereorock (talk) 21:11, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank spam

I have blocked LeeWeathers1986AV from using the "thank" facility for a month. If they return to disruptive thanks after that, or if they use another method of harassment, please feel welcome to let me know, and I will consider whether a larger block may be suitable. (However, I hope that won't be necessary, as the present limited block should be enough to get the message across.) JBW (talk) 21:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

WLUC-TV de-piping

Greetings,

I've noticed you have recently edited articles with the edit summary of "de-piping" to explain removing links to embedded redirects, and to remove extrapolations of abbreviations. While the spirit of the effort is appreciated - it is actually unnecessary, amounts to busywork, and may need to be undone at a later date in cases of disambiguation or other situations. Please take a moment to review WP:NOTBROKEN for more information regarding this. Thanks. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 18:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024

Hello, Mvcg66b3r, I saw that you made a draft for a new article at User:Mvcg66b3r/KXNV-LD. Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable. But in this case, you haven't edited your draft for a long time. If you wish to improve the draft yourself, please do. Otherwise, you may consider donating it to WikiProject Abandoned Drafts (a participant can help). It may also be best to just fully scrap the draft and idea since similar articles have practically been rapid-fire nominated at AfD and PROD. Shadow311 (talk) 15:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Want to flag this prod with special instructions and have you handle it.

I agree it fails GNG. The redirect target should be WVEC. (They bought the LPTVs on 34 and 36 in part to clear the way for moving WVEC to 35.) The lone sub is True Crime Network; see the first attachment. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Bridge Media Networks articles and logos

I saw you fixed articles and logo (WMNN-LD, KKAI and KUPU, which are owned by Bridge Media Network (or Bridge News owned by Manoj Bhargava), so could you also update some other articles owned by this company?

KRON-TV latest edit

Hello, Mvcg66b3r. The reason why I put in the YouTube TV section in the article, is because KRON-TV is launching on YouTube TV on June 30. I provided the source from kron4.com. Akhil K. (talk) 00:33, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@Akandkur (talk page stalker) Generally we don't list stations' availability on virtual MVPDs in articles—it's cruft. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
