Reply 21-JAN-2020[edit]

Edit request declined

The specific verbatim claims requested have not been delineated in the request.
Additionally, the claims that were implied to be added appear to be information on the radio's current schedule format, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia.
If an overall format change has occurred, this should be described in a general way in the article. If that is to be done, please supply the verbatim requested text for these general claims.^[1]

(edit conflict) Wikipedia articles are not meant to provide things like an up-to-date programming schedule; that should be done on your radio station's website; per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. The Wikipedia article should almost exclusively summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about the subject, not what the subject wants to say about itself. 331dot (talk) 13:21, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, why make the table sortable? What's the advantage of being able to sort the timetable alphabetically by title of Wednesday's programmes? —Tamfang (talk) 03:00, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with the article[edit]

From looking at Radio Cardiff, I've spotted quite a few possible issues that you can all look at yourself and possibly change.

The article still sounds a bit too much like an advertisement or if it is written by the station itself. I make the same mistake myself so this needs to be looked into.
Many of the reference/source links are invalid (particularly the ones linking to the Radio Cardiff website).
Possibly more information needed about Studios and News Service sections?
Some examples of notable presenters, if applicable
Is the former logo needed and/or does it need its own section? It doesn't seem to fit well in my opinion.

Note, I now have a personal affiliation to the station as I'm an assistant for one of the shows. Mthowells200130 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
