Retro TV category
Hello... with respect to your recent addition of the "Retro TV" programming category, it has been deleted. Categories such as that are generally used only for the original network, not for rebroadcasters. (If we were to use categories for every network that had ever shown a series, it would quickly become unmanageable.) If Retro TV has created any original programming, then those shows would be appropriate for the category. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this. Thanks again. --Ckatz chat spy  18:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

KWQC-TV/KWQC-DT
I just wanted to drop by to leave you a quick note that I've done the following:
 * undone the redirect that you placed at KWQC-TV, thereby restoring the content that was there before
 * placed a redirect from KWQC-DT to KWQC-TV, thereby removing the content that you added there

It appears that in creating the KWQC-DT article and redirecting KWQC-TV to it, you've performed what is known as a "cut-and-paste" move. This is a problem, as doing so means that the correct contribution history necessary for licensing purposes does not follow the content.

If you believe that an article is named incorrectly, then the correct way to rename it is to use the "move" tab at the top of the page. However, please note that this wouldn't be a correct action with regard to this article. Articles about television stations in the U.S. are named using their FCC-issued call sign. Despite the fact that this station is now broadcasting in digital, as all full-powered U.S. television stations are, the station's call sign has not changed — it is still KWQC-TV, and so the article needs to stay at that name.

You'll find that this is true for most U.S. stations; there are very few that have actually changed their call sign to use the '-DT' suffix. In the future, if you believe that a station has made this change, the FCC has a database search tool that you can use to confirm this. Mlaffs (talk) 19:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
The disambiguation pages that you've been creating lately have been popping up on my watchlists. Just a few pointers, if you don't mind:


 * entries on disambiguation pages should only have one bluelink per line. For example, if the article actually exists, then other items such as the city or state should not be linked. If the article hasn't been created yet (it's a redlink), then the city can be linked to provide context
 * please add to the talk page
 * disambiguation pages shouldn't have incoming links; the point of a disambiguation page is actually to make sure that links can be fixed to point to the right place. The exception would be if you were adding a hatnote to the top of the article that points to the disambiguation page, to indicate that other articles have also had that call sign. Otherwise, linking former callsigns in an infobox to the disambiguation page isn't necessary
 * if there's only one other station that's shared a callsign, particularly if it used that station a long time ago, a disambiguation page isn't usually necessary. Again, in that case, it's often more easily handled using a hatnote

Hope you find this helpful. If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to ask — I've done a lot of work with this stuff. Mlaffs (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Television station articles
Please stop reverting articles to previous versions which contained information that was redundant, erroneous, changed unnecessarily, or all of the above. I've reverted all of your recent changes (several NYC stations and WUSA (TV)) back, and will be watching you closely from hear on. Station Agent 836 (talk) 05:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sarah Pavan


A tag has been placed on Sarah Pavan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=14&SPID=23&DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=69150&Q_SEASON=2007. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Osplace 02:18, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages redux
I thought your username was familiar when it started popping up on my watch list recently, and sure enough - I see that I've landed on your talk page before! :>)

Just to repeat a couple of points:


 * when you're creating a disambiguation page over top of an article rename (like you did with KQCS), please add to the talk page as well
 * if there's only one other station that's shared a call sign (again, as with KQCS), a disambiguation page isn't usually necessary. It's often easier to use a hatnote instead

Again, if you ever have questions, don't hesitate to ask — I've done a lot of work with this stuff. Mlaffs (talk) 21:38, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WQUA (disambiguation)


The article WQUA (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unnecessary disambiguation per WP:TWODABS. WQUA is the primary topic and a hatnote navigates readers to WFXN (AM), bypassing the dab.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:47, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:IowaLicensePlate2018.jpg
