Infobox RfC
I'm proposing a redesign containing visual, technical and other improvements to Infobox radio station and Infobox broadcast. The discussion is located at WikiProject Radio Stations/2020 infobox redesign proposal. As an editor active in editing radio and/or TV station articles, or in recent changes to the templates in question, I wanted to make you aware of this proposal and kindly ask for your feedback.

Editing
Can you stop reverting the WMBQ-CD and WNDT-CD articles? Tvstationfan101 (talk) 05:40, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

April/May 2021
I'm not sure why you left me three messages on my talk page about edits which I made, and to which you reverted back to your preferred version. You offered absolutely no reason as to why you reverted other than a generic message. If you can give me one, then let's talk about it. Otherwise, I would recommend staying on the straight path as I'm seeing you've caused other editors problems in the past. We can debate and collaborate and avoid a ridiculous editing war. MasterControlMaster13 (talk) 02:34, 4 May 2021 (UTC) The reasons are in my edit summaries, Manual of Style issues and marking edits as minor when they were not. BlueboyLINY (talk) 05:07, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just listing MOS and calling it a day isn't enough; you must elaborate in warnings why exactly you removed an edit (and a minor edit marking error doesn't give you carte blanche to just revert it when it was helpful, which the WMCA edits certainly didn't qualify for). I utilize templates to get attention, but there should be further elaboration of why you applied it directly after the braces.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:48, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also per this, the LLC owner did change; even if they have a COI, updates like this should never be deleted. Employees know more than an average volunteer editor.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:13, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

May 2021
Hello there!

I see the previous user above me also had a similar inquiry to myself. I am trying to put an infobox with primary endorsements similar to the 2018 New York gubernatorial election, but you removed them. The information is relevant with sources linked, and is correctly formatted. I don't see a reason that this information does not belong on the page. Is it bad sources? Is it too early to list these valuable endorsements? I don't see how marking this down is an example of being a "genre warrior" (I'm not seasoned enough to even know what that really means beyond reading the page linked). What is the correct way to list these relevant county endorsements?

I appreciate the help.

It's not that endorsements don't belong on the page, it's because you only posted endorsements for Lee Zeldin. The information should include all the candidates before posting, not just one. Also twitter is not considered a reliable source as it is user generated content. For information and resources on the basics needed to comprehend, comment on, and edit Wikipedia, see contributing to Wikipedia or this tutorial. If you have questions, you can find help at the Teahouse. BlueboyLINY (talk) 02:49, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

- I will find more endorsements for other candidates as time goes on! Also, Mike Pompeo's endorsement is only on Youtube/Twitter, so unless there's some press release that goes out that I haven't found, that's all I have. So far, Carpinelli and Gibson have low profiles and no endorsements, Astorino just hopped in the race yesterday, and I don't see any endorsements for Cuomo. I only posted endorsements for Zeldin because he's the only one in this race with endorsements, but I'm going to update the list as things go on. If you could reverse your removal that would be fantastic, and I will try and find a non-twitter/youtube source! I don't want to be seen as a genre warrior, I just wanted to get the ball rolling! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capisred (talk • contribs) 14:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page 2022 New York gubernatorial election has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 20:25, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

AN3 report and edit warring
I really need you to visit your own AN3 report and respond. SfA has been discussing on the talk page and you have not, and you are inappropriately putting warnings on their user talk page, which are reserved for malicious and/or unexplained tag removal. Regardless of whether you believe the removals to be justified, continuing this edit war is a bad idea for both of you. This behavior needs to change. Please engage on either the article's talk page or the AN3 thread, preferably both. --Chris (talk) 00:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

removing edit from Queercore page
Hello,

I added a paragraph and links ysterday to the Queercore page and you have removed them. The reason given is not providing reliable sources. Please explain. Thank you. 2A02:3032:4:CD10:ED10:8B0A:5049:BA13 (talk) 10:45, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


 * You didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. Thank you! BlueboyLINY (talk) 19:03, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Understanding why?
You removed my change from 'gay mecca' to 'gay nexus'. I understand that my comment was against violation but you changed my edit. Why? Alexandercruz99 (talk) 01:50, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above; there are other cultures that might disagree with how terms are used, and there's always a different way to say something, thus I've changed it to something more appropriate and sensitive. This is yet another warning to you; stop throwing vandalism warnings to editors who ask meaningful questions on pages through their edits, especially their first edit. Alexander's edit was in no way, vandalism, and the last thing the project needs is to chase off innocent new editors.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:23, 20 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I do not understand the reasoning behind removing the edit I made on the NY Governor Race page. It was stated that Youtube is not a reliable source but I am not citing Youtube, I am citing Larry Sharpe's video where he states how he will run. I understand the need to be watchguards of the sources but the video clearly indicates his intentions in the race. I would like to know what moved you to delete my edit. We are a Wikipedia community and I support the spread of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrJRSmith (talk • contribs) 05:18, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

On reverting my edit
I need to ask you on why you revered this edit. I was only there to fix sources and nothing more. I noticed the problem on why I did it.


 * I replaced "ABC News 10" from Syracuse with the station's call sign WTEN. Even if you used a generic brand of an network that's affiliated with a channel number like "ABC 10", which "ABC 10" are you referring to? There's 9 of them in the US and it can be a bit confusing. That's why I go by its call sign instead. This also goes with stations where they gave generic name of a news for a station. It's always best to use the call sign of the station where they produced this news article.
 * The AP is a news agency and even if its put as AP News, its best referred to by its full name.

I really want a good explanation on it instead of saying it's "non-constructive" 20chances (talk) 00:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * They were reverted because you removed the website names, which should always be given when the ref is cite web. BlueboyLINY (talk) 04:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * And now you did the same with my other edit. Look, I don't want to turn this into an argument but I know those revisions you did were still pointless and were not a much helpful. Look here's my advice. Instead of the url for the "website" section, like for an example: wnyt.com, you can just put the the name the publisher of that website and if possible, link it to the station. So instead of wnyt.com, it should be WNYT (Note that I'm linking to WNYT (TV) instead of the radio station). Same goes with news papers: Instead of nytimes.com, its The New York Times. I've done this method for other refs and there were no problem. 20chances (talk) 00:11, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This is nitpicking and I've reverted back; if we have an article about the source, use the source's article in the ref! You are not the only editor here that can edit that one article, and often the website name is clogged with a bunch of keywords that are useless to a layman (and can change if there's a re-branding of the entity). "LocalSYR" to someone never in Syracuse sounds like a fake news website, while WSYR-TV is much more reputable and understandable, and clear.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:35, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Reverted edit to WEPN (AM)
Hello BlueboyLINY,

I'm here to respectfully disagree about your reversion of my recent edit to WEPN (AM). In your reasoning, you stated that "Twitter is not considered a reliable source". While I would agree with that statement 99% of the time, the author of the tweet is a sports journalist for the New York Post, which I have found to be a generally reliable source for sports broadcasting information. The account I am quoting from is verified and I am reasonably sure that this tweet would inherit the reliability of the involved journalist.

If you still feel that the source is lacking, then I will find an alternate source for the information that is more reliable and cite that instead. Thank you for your consideration. Dial (talk) 06:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed with the above; if you feel the sourcing isn't acceptable based on its medium...don't remove the source, replace it! If you have time to remove a contribution, you also have time to re-source it to our guidelines. The item wasn't gossip, but a known deal where a mainstream RS was easily located. Just because 'it's Twitter' doesn't mean an editor should be templated for working in good faith.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:39, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Adding W243BF to local town pages
BlueboyLINY,

From what I understand you are a broadcaster and may have personal bias towards plugging W243BF onto town pages, but unless you can provide a really special reason why, this information is unhelpful for those looking for information about the town and has no significance locally as the station is located patchouge. 68.199.22.183 (talk) 04:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Let's get along more!
I am here regarding your recent edits. Six of your past seven edits over the past week have been reverting whatever I contribute. These actions have been happening for a while, back when you said putting endorsements on a page when only one candidate had endorsements was "genre bending" and vandalism. To be completely honest, I feel a bit targeted, although it's probably in my head. I do have a lot to learn, but your help does feel targeted when I'm the only one experiencing this. I have my tilt and you have yours, but we have to work together and stop fighting all the time. I will say that I have been reading the rulebook a lot more because of you, and I do appreciate that. Since you do have handy links, I was wondering if you could link what you would consider your specific editing style to be, so that I could understand how to play ball with you a bit better and avoid conflict. I would also humbly request that you would not revert my edit to the lead in Lee Zeldin. I am going to edit it once again so that it sounds as neutral as possible. In general, I would really really appreciate it if you could tweak or revise edits I make instead of immediately reverting them (if possible, obviously sometimes a reversion may be better). I try to learn from your reasoning, and when your justification for one edit contrasts another, it confuses and frustrates me (the best and most recent example is the "material is covered elsewhere in the article and not needed in the lead" incident). Lastly, I think we could resolve more shenanigans if we used the talk page more on articles. All in all, I appreciate you and the work you do to keep me in check, and doing all of the little things around the website (that work does not go unnoticed!). My goal in writing this is so we might understand each other better, and to open the door for discussion about editing philosophy and etc., since we often unproductively butt heads, something I want to minimize.

I was hoping that you could respond to the above message. GeorgeBailey (talk) 03:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

"Fair use"
In this edit, you replaced one file hosted by Commons with another hosted by Commons. Your edit summary merely cited "WP:FAIRUSE" (i.e. Non-free content). I don't understand your edit summary. What has the use of either file got to do with "fair use" or non-free content? -- Hoary (talk) 05:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Please see User talk:GeorgeBailey for further info. BlueboyLINY (talk) 07:46, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the suggestion. I looked in the current version of that talk page for the strings "ortt" and "fair". There's no token of either. I then looked through the history of the talk page and noticed a large deletion of material right after this version of 28 February, and therefore looked in this earlier version too for the strings "ortt" and "fair". Again, there's no token of either. So please just tell me: What has the use of either file got to do with "fair use" or non-free content? -- Hoary (talk) 09:18, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I note that the file in question is listed on commons as CC-BY 2.0, which per commons:COM:Licensing is an acceptable free license. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 09:45, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, just a heads up, you are being discussed at the Teahouse. Your comment would be much appreciated. Thanks! — JThistle38 (talk) 09:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

My apologies
Hey, I've been too accusatory towards you. I know that you've read my past messages, and maybe I should have asked a professional rather than the Teahouse for what to do. I've been going through a period of reevaluation of my life in a variety of facets and I've realized that I have made mistakes in how I have approached you and your editing style. I apologize. I'll do my best from now on. My only request is that when you revert an edit I make, if it applies, tell me what I can do to make the edit better the next time. I think that would really help for me to see what I can improve on, and not be frustrated. Your simple explanation about how new pictures with masks is worse than old pictures without them is a smart thing I had not thought of. In that kind of situation, explaining that does a world of good for my understanding as opposed to just saying vandalism or non constructive. Your input is extremely valuable since I encounter you in many places. Again, I'm sorry, and I hope you'll be willing to work together! Today is a new day. Cheers, GeorgeBailey (talk) 03:49, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Bay Shore NY article
2600:1700:7610:41E0:64B5:BA38:24B4:1343 (talk) 00:30, 16 March 2022 (UTC)You left me a message telling me I was being disruptive and engaged in an edit war on Bay Shore NY article. You seem to be mistaken. I removed a title of the article of "healthcare" above two points... Bay Shore Brightwaters rescue ambulance and the former Southside Hospital now called something. Last time I checked the term healthcare refers to things such as insurance companies and medical providers. In my summary I stated such and you surmised I was correct and edited out the rescue ambulance part which has been there for ten years or more and reinserted the healthcare title. And I have to ask why and why are you not being constructive there and actually being disruptive and vandalistic. I then reverted your incorrect edit and you call me disruptive?

Then the article stated that some radio station and its called letters are licensed to serve Bay Shore NY. I deleted the nonsense when searching some sources and they stated the radio station is located in another Long Island town and mentioned nothing about Bay Shore whatsoever. You see that radio station addition is some commercial advertising of some type and makes absolutely no sense for its inclusion in the article Bay Shore, NY except for commercial promotion. Additionally, the radio station inclusion is a recent...very recent addition in the past 10 days or so.

Now I will guess you are an employee or intern working for the station and believe the station should be included on every Wikipedia article in the territory the station serves. that is a commercial purpose which Wikipedia does not look favorable on. I have to ask...have you declared your conflict of interest in this regard to Wikipedia, as you are required to do?2600:1700:7610:41E0:64B5:BA38:24B4:1343 (talk) 00:30, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Your guess is wrong, I have no association with the Bay Shore or any other radio station. BlueboyLINY (talk) 01:25, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

You seem very smug and rather rude friend. Take the issue with me to the notice board if you believe I am being disruptive chap. God bless you2600:1700:7610:41E0:64B5:BA38:24B4:1343 (talk) 01:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

WNYC iheart radio
Can you explain why a link to iheart radio is relevant on WNYC-FM? Thriley (talk) 18:43, 31 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, please see Template:Infobox radio station, where it states: "If the radio station streams, consider using:

April 2022
Hello! Checking in about your recent message. In your recent edit, I noticed that you removed Zeldin's campaign website from the infobox. I have noticed that the campaign website of a politician will sometimes go in the infobox (on John Fetterman, for example). Is this not allowed? I haven't seen specific rules regarding this but I know that you know some of the more detailed rules better than I might. If so, I will start removing it when I see it. Wondering your reasoning! Hope all is well. GeorgeBailey (talk) 21:01, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
