Talk:RKO Radio Network

Still no sources!!
After 7 years, this article still has no sources. If no one has the time or interest in finding any, why not just delete it? The names listed under staff are particularly troublesome. A few of them have articles, but most do not. I deleted the name Les Coleman, which was inserted as part of disruptive edits on the Lester Coleman article. If anyone has a reliable source for Mr. Coleman's employment with RKO, please post here or on the Lester Coleman talk page. For the other names, I will poke around a bit, but really it is the contributing editor's responsibility to give sources, and deletion here seems very reasonable.

 * I took a pass at cleaning it up...removed all that were not bluelinked individuals. WP:NLIST/WP:V/WP:BLP...take your pick. DMacks (talk) 21:51, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

This is an historic article regarding a place in USA broadcast history. Either delete the whole article or re-insert those broadcast pioneers who were part of the first satellite radio network in the world. The deletion of Kirsten Lindquist, the first female RKO correspondent, who died at age 60, 14 february 2015 with pancreatic cancer. A quick email to Harvey Nagler, VP, CBS News ( who was also deleted again ) http://www.cbsnews.com/news/harvey-nagler/ clarify the role and names of all staffers at RKO before it went dark. Please make the effort to assure those who were a part of history are remembered. Manuke7708 (talk) 16:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Every entry in a list such as this needs a cite to support the person being notable. It's quite possible for something to be true but either not be verifiable or not be suitable content. Edit-warring it will lead to your edit-privileges being revoked.

manuke7708Talk Verification: Les Coleman RKO Radio Networks : https://soundcloud.com/newsconnection/4-white-house-voicers. RKO went dark before there was an internet. no one is edit warring--a factual dispute is what academic/scientific process is all about. Please take the time and effort to review the sources provided. Only including RKO staffers who are etched in blue, meaning the appear somewhere else on wikipedia ? I strongly suggest DMacks submit to a objective third party review we can abide by for the sake of accuracy. Manuke7708 (talk) 17:25, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

ref User talk:DMacks talk TO WIKI LEGAL legal@wikimedia.org I have attached a talk page citing one of wiki's "editors" who has now been reduced to brow beating and threats after he was challenged for deleting a host of staff names who served at the RKO RADIO NETWORKS, a page now listed on Wikipedia. DMack deleted most of the names claiming they could not be verifed, leaving only the names that appear on other wikipedia pages. RKO went dark before they internet went full bloom in the early 80's. One name DMack deleted was KIRSTEN LINDQUEST, a RKO Washington Correspondent who died recently at age 60 from pancreatic cancer in Sonoma, CA. This information and listed obit was provided to DMack. He ignored it. he also deleted HARVEY NAGLER RKO managing editor, currently VP News, CBS, NY. Which could be a PR problem. Suggest this historical site either be restored to it's original state it has been in for the past 7 years, or deleted from wikipedia.org. There seems to be a generational and national origin concern with editors DMack and NeilTalk who have regularly altered this site and the site LESTER COLEMAN which they have completely locked !

WITH COMPLIMENTS:

 * I don't think legal at wikimedia.org will have much to reply to you. Editing and making decisions about keeping or deleting articles are made here on the wiki by editors. What would be good sources? User:Fred Bauder Talk 21:30, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Documents and attribution have been provided via fax to wikimedia legal to immediately correct the historic RKO Radio Network article, as it was originally posted seven (7) years ago. Cyberservices has received a response from wikimedia counsel in Los Angeles, CA stating several wikieditors related to this posting, and others are under editorial review by wikifoundation. We are confident the RKO page will be restored completely. Worldcom is further assisting in identifying and locating wikieditors related to locking articles in violation of wikipedia policy. As this is now a legal matter, cyberservices, Washington, will offer no further edits until this site and others related to the wikieditors known to wikimedia legal, are unlocked, and open for correction and edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Talkwiki7708 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Reported at Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents --Neil N  talk to me 22:32, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Apparently fraudulent claim of legal reports

 * For the record - the Wikimedia Foundation legal team was contacted and confirmed in email to me that they have NOT received any reports or legal filings by RKO or related parties in this incident. It appears based on that information that all of the claims above are part of the ongoing hoax activity we have had for some years on this and the Lester Coleman page.   All prior postings on this topic and any future claims should be rejected unless WMF Legal is actually notified or turns out to have been mistaken about reported information.
