Stubs, Templates, and Categories
Some things that i think are lacking, such as a stub for calculators, and a category to put the TI Graphing Calculator navbox into. Any help is appreciated.Dlrohrer2003 01:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you - corrections to "Comparison of HP Graphing Calculators"
I am glad you caught my mindless errors at Comparison_of_HP_graphing_calculators. I started this page using the chart at Comparison of Texas Instruments graphing calculators as a template, but I suppose I wasn't watching very carefully. I neglected to change the category listings... I suppose that the page could have caused some shock in the TI categories. Anyways, I made those edits right before leaving for a trip to Europe and must have neglected it my haste --- so thank you for cleaning up after me. Freedomlinux (talk) 15:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

List of 50 kW radio stations
Hi!

Just a quick note: KHz (Kilohertz or kilocycles per second) is the correct nomenclature for a radio station. AM or FM is the type of modulation used, it does not signify any band. Technically you could broadcast FM on 640 KHz - although you'd lose listeners because radios sold pick up Amplitude Modulation on 640 KHz.

So an AM station broadcasts on 640 KHz utilizing Amplitude Modulation (AM). Just because a station identifies as "640 AM" does not mean it's technically correct.

Fair enough?

Regards,

Yeah, I just figured that what other lists of radio stations had been was using something like 640 AM or 103.5 FM or some such method like that and thought that was the general standard, correct? -- Dlrohrer  2003  20:17, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a sticking point with those of us who actually KNOW radio. When a radio station uses 640 AM, it's a slogan. Radio stations used to have to identify by saying something along the lines of "KFI Los Angeles, 640 Kilocycles." Now all that's required are the call letters and the city of license. Anything else is a slogan. If someone asks me where I talked on my ham radio, I would not say 7270 SSB. I would say 7.270 MHz or 7270 KHz (same thing). Then if there was a question about the type of modulation I was using, I would say, AM, FM, LSB, USB, PSK31, or whatever. Nice to make your acquaintance. Regards again. --Manway (talk) 00:49, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And how many pages in the Lists of radio stations in the United States, Canada, and other categories use kHz or MHz instead of AM or FM for domestic broadcast stations? That is is what I meant by "general standard". If you still have an issue with it we can take it up with the folk over at the Radio Stations WikiProject -- Dlrohrer  2003  01:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've posted over on the project talk page. Please place your opinion over there and we'll hash this out. Regards, --Manway (talk) 04:03, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Duluth News Tribune copyright violation questions
I'm assuming you're the person who undid the Duluth News Tribune revision because of copyright concerns. First of all, if there is a concern, then rewrite the information, which is accurate. But PLEASE do not revert back to the old posting, which is wholly outdated, irrelevant and just plain wrong. I am the editor of the paper (as noted in a previous post) and if there is a copyright concern, I hereby grant permission, irrevocably. If you're not the person who did this, my apologies, but since you have weighed in, I implore you to help keep this page accurate and, frankly, sane. In 140 years of history, I'm sure there is something else to talk about the News Tribune than its long-gone weather partnerships. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinbirk (talk • contribs) 02:11, 2 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Right now my main concern is not the accuracy of the information, but who holds the copyright to the content on this webpage, you or your employer (which I am assuming is a subsidiary of Forum Communications). I say this because two paragraphs of the webpage Forum Communications Company - Newspaper appear to have been copied and pasted from a website that appears to be owned and/or operated by Forum Communications. So right now, lets determine the copyright status of the content in question, then go on to the accuracy of it. -- Dlrohrer  2003  03:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
