KPNX

You had recently reverted one of my "non-constructive" edits there. I do know that one of my local stations KWCH-DT has the branding 12 News. May I ask why you reverted it? Chuterix (talk) 02:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Removed redlink Mvcg66b3r (talk) 02:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Chuterix I almost sent the redirect 12 News to RfD, but every single use of that redirect as of this writing was for KPNX. I've bypassed the redirects in case 12 News (disambiguation) merits moving there (hint: it does). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

WPTA/WISE-TV

CommonsDelinker has removed photos of WPTA & WISE-TV, but WPTA was revived, can you get the photos back on the WPTA and WISE-TV pages, please? BMarGlines (talk) 20:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Postal abbreviations in templates

Regarding my changes to the Boston TV template, from MOS:POSTABBR: “Postal codes and abbreviations of place names—e.g., Calif. (California), TX (Texas), Yorks. (Yorkshire)—should not be used to stand for the full names in normal text. They can be used in tables when space is tight but should be marked up with template on first occurrence. They should not be used in infoboxes. An exception is Washington, D.C., which has been conventionally called so, for reasons of clarity, since long before postal codes were invented. "Washington, D.C.", or "Washington, DC", may be used in tables in which other state postal codes appear; never use "Washington D.C." (without a comma).” Stereorock (talk) 01:35, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Your reversions to my WBAL, WBFF, WMAR, and WJZ edits

You had recently reverted several of my "non-constructive" edits. I do know how your reversion tool works but it seems you may not have read the content that I added as your message on my talk page suggested the edits "did not appear to be constructive". All the edits were additions to the pages of Baltimore television stations citing their most recent regional Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Awards. The edits are reliably sourced, relevant to article and certainly significant to the subject referenced. May I respectfully suggest that you scrutinize the edits that your too suggests before reverting the work of another editor. Thank You. Marylandstater (talk) 19:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I suggest you read this and this. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:30, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion, but in the 17 years I have been editing I have read both of those passages many times and neither apply to edits that you have reverted. Perhaps if you listed some examples of your resistance to these edits rather than stating some concessionary rules, I might understand your objections better. Marylandstater (talk) 19:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

You shouldn't be listing every award won by a station (that's WP:TMI). Mvcg66b3r (talk) 20:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Again, you may want to read the edits before making critical comments. Each of the stations involved have won numerous awards over the past several years, I've only listed the most prestigious awards that a local tv station can receive: The Edward R. Murrow Award and The local Emmy Award.

Actors who receive Oscars or Emmys have them prominently displayed on their pages. Athletes who have won MVP awards have those type awards listed on their pages. Even when a motion picture is simply nominated for an Oscar, that information is reflected on its page. These edits are relevant, sourced and helpful to our readers who seek a well balance range of information about the subjects they seek; in this case TV stations. (also one of the station's pages has an "Awards" section which you did not delete apparently because your reversion bot didn't catch it and/or you haven't read the article.

You might want to talk to my friend @Sammi Brie: and see what she has to say. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 21:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

here is an example of an animated film, just a film, but on its page is what you would expect in describing a film including every single award the film won and even those it was nominated for:List of accolades received by Turning Red Marylandstater (talk) 21:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Marylandstater, awards for broadcast stations and awards for films and other works need to be handled differently. The main reason is that many awards are regional (in some cases with nomination fees that not all local stations pay). This is the case with the Emmys and Murrows.

I actively search out some awards to mention on station pages: national News and Documentary Emmys; national Murrow Awards; and several national-only journalism awards, including the Peabody and duPont–Columbia, that are extremely prestigious and only awarded to a handful of TV stations in any given year. The first two are selected from among the regional winners (in the case of the former, they receive an award that is not technically an Emmy!).

In Baltimore, these awards have been historically very few and far between. Only twice has a Baltimore TV station been recognized for a Peabody; then-WAAM-TV got an honorable mention in 1950, and WBAL won one in 2004. The market has received five duPont–Columbia Awards in television and a sixth in radio.

This regional/national distinction does affect notability. Regional Emmys do not confer notability. National ones probably do. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
