"Fox" or "FOX"?
I noticed some revert wars regarding the Fox branding on several articles on Fox-owned stations. The official name of the network is not all uppercase, but that is how the company prefers it.

So, do we call it "Fox" or "FOX"? You decide. CoolKatt number 99999 02:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

WTXF and TV-Ark
TV-Ark uses a strange code. The main page URL is always displayed in the address bar, but the actual pages are at different URLs.

http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/ is what will be displayed at the WTXF page, but... http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/us_fox_wtxf.html is the actual page.

The edit I did improved the accessibility. In short, in spite of a wacky code, I pointed the TV-Ark page to the actual page. -Tracker 19:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merger of WTXF-TV Personalities
I came across WTXF-TV Personalities during new page patrol. It seems like listcruft to have it alone like that, so I'm proposing it be merged into this article. This is in line with the relevant wikiproject's standards for TV personalities. --Chaser T 04:56, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There are personalities pages for the other Philadelphia stations with the stations on-air personalities bios on them. It will wind up being expanded. Kramden4700 20:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that it will be expanded. The WCAU Personalities page was the same way and look at it now. Tazz765 20:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed the merge tags.--Chaser T 20:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Um... the links direct to a Carribean politician. I've removed the ones I see. --Adam Fisher-Cox (criticize or compliment) 04:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Screengrab is incorrect
The screengrab for the 5pm news is not from the WTXF launch... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.145.244.194 (talk) 22:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Fox29.jpg
Image:Fox29.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in this article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:


 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Dave Huddleston
When I entered "Dave Huddleston" into the search bar, Wikipedia directed me to this article. Mr. Huddleston is now the Sunday night 11 PM anchor at KYW-TV in Philadelphia and the weekday 10 PM anchor at KYW's sister station, WPSG-TV for their Eyewitness News on CW57 show. He joined CBS Philadelphia in November 2008. Shouldn't the search bar redirect me to that station's article instead? Bill S. (talk) 20:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
