CBVE
Fair enough; my bad. Actually, though, repeater transmitters never warrant their own articles independently of their originating station (there's nothing you can possibly say about them that doesn't fit in just fine as a footnote in the original article), so technically there shouldn't ever be a CBVE-TV article.

MIT great dome image
I've added this to Image:Mitgreatdome.jpg: Photographed circa 1964, from a location on the banks of the Charles River on the Boston Side, via a time exposure with a 180mm lens on a 35mm camera. The image is still linked from the article on The Gadget Maker but has been replaced with a different one in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology article. I don't know anything about the new image. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Broadcast database
The Industry Canada database isn't structured in such a way that it's usable as a resource to help write Wikipedia articles about radio or television stations. For example, it can't be extrapolated into an FMQ or TVQ template the way the FCC's can. The only place on Wikipedia in which I've ever raised the lack of a CRTC database was specifically within the context of what resources one can use to write Wikipedia articles about Canadian radio stations -- since the Industry Canada database isn't a particularly helpful resource for that purpose, my comment stands.

Boston, Massachusetts - critique needed
I don't know if you are aware of it, but the article is currently a candidate for featured article status. Nevertheless, I was wondering if you could be able to look over the article and see if anything more can be done with it. Thanks. Pentawing 02:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Mutual funds as trusts
I stand corrected. US Mutual Funds may be structured as trusts.

However you have misread my intentions in the edit I made. I have spent a long time trying to remove the heavy US bias in many investment articles and especially in the article 'mutual funds'. If you look back through the history you will see the article assumed all collective investments were sub-types of mutual funds whereas the SEC makes clear distinctions for the US and this is definitely not the case elsewhere in the world. To try and counter the bias I started the article collective investment scheme to give a world view. Furthermore I added the two descriptions in the lead paragraphs of the mutual fund article to spell out the US and non-US usage and added a statement to make it clear the remainder of the article follows the US meaning and added link to the collective investment article for all others.

I assumed the US regulator in stating 'MF = open-end companies', meant that they were all companies now I have followed the link to the legislation it is apparent that the 'management company' is what's being referred to and that "any redeemable security of which it is the issuer" may well refer to a trust. I will re-instate your edits and expand the point in the article. Simon West 16:28, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Gulf Oil
You have added the following text :

''Gulf Oil Limited Partnership, based in Chelsea, Massachusetts, now owns the rights to the Gulf brand; the partnership operates a distribution network reaching from Maine to Ohio. Most Gulf-branded filling stations are owned by Cumberland Farms of Canton, Massachusetts, which owns a two-thirds interest in Gulf Oil L.P. Some stations are independently-owned franchises.''

Are you talking about rights to the Gulf brand worldwide or just in the US?. The Hindujas certainly use the Gulf brand in Asia and Europe - and I wasn't aware they were doing so under any form of licence from this Gulf Oil LP. Bob BScar23625 08:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Public Radio vs NPR
My interpretation comes from reading the websites for stations WHYY.org, WNYC.org and NPR.org and PRI.org. A public radio station, or groups of stations in one state, is an independent non-profit business entity that pays a yearly fee to get programming from NPR, and in addition pays a per show fee for each show they broadcast. Some stations sell their programming back to NPR for distribution, and they receive a fee. NPR also sells their content to XM Radio. The independently owned stations buy their programming from NPR and PRI and APM, and of course some just play music, and some produce their own content. If you visit a staion website they list themselves as members of "BBC" "PRI" and "NPR". It is not like the US TV affiliate system where a station must contract with only one of the content providers to be able to receive programming for broadcast. Being a member station to NPR means you pay the yearly fee to NPR which allows you buy programming. The other wording made it sound like the arrangement similar to TV affiliate "all or nothing" contracts. What part do you disagree with?

"All of these networks are organized as membership cooperatives; member stations provide most of the funding for their operations through annual dues. The networks then contract with program producers—often the same member stations—to deliver programming to the membership."

I think I am confused by the word "network". I am not sure who the network is, and who is paying the dues to whom. Perhaps if you were to fill it out a bit more so its clearer to me. I only know how the New Jersey Public system works. There are about 6 transmitters and they get their funding from the state of New Jersey, The National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, corporations and pledge drives. The money pays for operating expenses and is used to purchase programming from NPR, PRI and APM. A lot of the details of how the Public radio system works came out when people were complaining when NPR was given its multi million dollar donation, and the local stations (NPR member stations) complaining that they deserved the money more. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, the page is about call-signs. However, if you study callsigns, you'd also know that suffixes are important, as they also denote broadcast classes (-LP, -CA, -TV, and so on). That section was about suffixes and classes, so the broadcast class -TX does warrant being there.  User:Raccoon Fox - Talk 01:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

DVB-C
Its not an assertion, and feel free to correct it, but "64/256 QAM" are modulation modes (which happen to be the two valid modulation modes on DVB-C), not entire platforms. There is also the statement from the DVB Group stating that its in use in the US. However, even if the main cablenets are not using it, "64/256 QAM" is not a transmission system. --Kiand 02:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the two commonly accepted modes, just checked my DVB reference here and other QAM levels are also valid, just not used very often (or at all when it was printed). --Kiand 03:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Your edits of Quabbin Reservoir
You quote a nonexistent rule about section headings. I think it is entirely arrogant to edit something just to change it to your own personal preferences. I was trying to find something that you created (there was nothing) so that I could edit it just for kicks, then you could see how I feel. I spent a lot of time editing not only the content, but also the location of various disconnected informational sentences, so that the article not only had proper grammar, but also proper form. You come along and hack it for kicks. This is not good. --LymanSchool 01:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Grotius
The translations are from Julius L. Sackman's "Nichols on Eminent Domain", Volume I, p.10-11 (Sec.1.12) (revised third edition, 1964) where they are footnoted as being taken from "Lib. Ill, C. 20." (that's right, Ill and not III) (the Grotius quotation) and "Lib. I, C. 1 sec. 19" (the Puffendorf citation).

A tag has been placed on Vanguard Health Systems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Coren 02:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

"Vermont" television stations located elsewhere
I would think that an antenna on Mansfield would qualify as a Vermont-located TV station. But I receive Radio Moscow. Putting this station down as a Vermont Radio station is, to say the least, frivolous. It would be intellectually dishonest. If physical boundaries mean nothing to electromagnetic waves, why even bother? Student7 (talk) 22:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

WGBH
The original article WGBH is about the entire station including both television and radio. The Introduction, the History section, the Transmission facilities section, the Studios section, the Callsign history section, and the Identification and sounder section all apply to the WGBH in general, not only the television station. While it may be appropriate to have a separate article about WGBH-TV, the original WGBH article is not specifically about the television station (or the radio station). So, as the article practically is about WGBH in general, and the WGBH is the primary topic from which WGBH-TV and WGBH (FM) fork, it makes sense to start with WGBH and then move things out to WGBH-TV or to WGBH (FM) as appropriate, rather than to move everything not about television to WGBH-TV. —Centrx→talk • 07:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Discussion on Talk:Eyeglass prescription and correctable vision
I don't presume to know your entire medical or ocular history, but I'm curious about your case. From your posts I gather that you are very intelligent but have not been given full explanations of what is happening with your eyes. For example, it is a common misconception that two eyes are needed for the perception of depth. Stereopsis is just one of many depth cues. If you would like to discuss your case further, I'd be willing to analyze your case and consult directly with experts at the Illinois College of Optometry and the Illinois Eye Institute. However, I completely understand if you would rather not post your medical history on Wikipedia. If you are interested, I can supply you with an email address to contact me.

E.K. Jett posting
hi - nice job on the EK Jett biography (FCC commissioner). i'm his great-grandson - it turns out that your post had information that i wasn't aware of (e.g., the fictitious name he used to join the navy) and i would be interested in learning more about your sources and how to get copies. i had actually contacted the NPC in St Louis some years back, and was informed that they had no file for him re: military records. i can be reached at adale50@hotmail.com (or i guess thru my wiki account). thanks again for the bio, and best regards Adale501 (talk) 15:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC)a dale

EK Jett response
hi - thanks so much for your response. i really appreciate the citations you gave to broadcasting and advertising magazine in the wiki article - i'll pull those up. i'll also have to contact the NPRC again - i had spoken with somebody there some years ago who seemed more interested in closing out his project than in conducting a thorough search (he said he could find no file, which never made sense but i never pursued it). i'm not sure how much depth you're interested in for a wiki page (or the FCC project you're working on), but if you'd like, i have a copy of a lengthy baltimore sun article announcing his retirement and providing an overview of his career, as well as his saturday evening post article "Phone Me By Air" that has been cited by some as predicting cell phones - i'd also be happy to PDF these if you think that would be helpful

also, what is the source behind the fictitious name he used to enlist? family lore has it that he signed up using the name of his older brother, which may also explain the difficulty i had tracking down his military file. ..

incidentally, re: your FCC commissioner project - i worked there as an attorney for a number of years and would be happy to discuss the agency if you're interested in that sort of thing. one thing that occurs to me is that the reorganization you mentioned was touched on in an excellent book about Federal bureaucracy entitled "Bureaucracy in a Democracy" by Charles Hyneman (Hyneman was the FCC staffer who planned and implemented the reorg). anyway, i can be reached either here or at my hotmail account adale50@hotmail.com thanks again, and best regards Adale501 (talk) 01:20, 11 August 2012 (UTC)a dale
