CTVglobemedia
Because the A-Channel rebranding as A is literally just a matter of hours away now, links to A should probably be left as is. I completely understand the desire to just blanket-undo everything 99.* does to the various A-Channel articles, but that particular change is fairly harmless and reduces the amount of work that will have to be done next week.

Speedy deletion of Image:1049clearfm.PNG
A tag has been placed on Image:1049clearfm.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 07:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Media websites
Hi, recently you have been removing the "Media Websites" and various others as well from the CTVglobemedia channel articles. What exactly is your reasoning for removing these links? These links give up-to-date info on various issues relating to the specific channel in question. These are not spam, they are valid and factual and give provide useful info such as the type of programming the channel airs, new commentators coming to the channel, channel launches and more all of which is valid since the article itself lists many of these things. . There's no reason to remove them.99.236.3.96 (talk) 16:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Infobox web links
The proper way to write the web address in the infobox for television channels are to write out the full address (i.e. www.example.com, not Example). The correct way is shown here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.70.150.123 (talk) 00:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter, MOS states that external link titles should not be a repeat of the URL. --Emarsee (Talk • Contribs) 01:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

This is what I have found in the MoS: ""Generally, URLs are ugly and uninformative; it is better for a meaningful title to be displayed rather than the URL itself. For example, "European Space Agency website" is much more reader-friendly than "http://www.esa.int/export/esaCP/index.html". There may be exceptions where the URL is well known or is the company name. In this case, putting both the url and a valid title will be more informative: for example, "European Space Agency website, www.esa.int".""

Websites in the infobox are generally the same as the company name, so I think it is better to leave is it as the full URL. When people want to know what the company/TV station/etc website is, it's probably more helpful if they can see the URL for future reference and not just a link. I find the full URL more useful and it is the convention (as shown in Infobox Broadcast and Infobox TV channel and numerous articles before you changed it). – Skyezx  message  02:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The only conceivable reason people would actually need to see the exact URL of a website "for future reference" would be if they typically browsed the web by memorizing the URLs of their favourite websites and then manually typing them into the location bar each time they wanted to visit the site. But that's just not the way people use the web. People bookmark sites they plan to visit again in their web browsers. If they lose their bookmarks, they search Google or come back to the Wikipedia article again. And in the fairly unlikely event that they do actually need to know the website's exact www.thingydoodle.tld url, it's visible right in their own location bar about three or four seconds after they click on the link. And if for some reason they do try to go back to the site later by typing the url instead of clicking on a bookmark, they still don't have to type the whole url — by the time they've typed www.th, the location bar's autocompletion feature will already have called it up for them.
 * So displaying an url instead of a name in the infobox simply doesn't fulfill any genuine need that web users actually have, because people just don't use the web that way. (For what it's worth, the "there may be exceptions where the URL is well known or is the company name" criterion applies mainly to Internet businesses where the company's web url is its name — such as zip.ca, gay.com, expedia.com or amazon.com.)
 * And besides: it's ugly, it's counterintuitive, and if the URL is particularly long (e.g. http://www.acadiabroadcastinglimited.ca/) it can distort the size of the infobox because it's all one "word" which can't linebreak anywhere.
 * But the bottom line is that Wikipedia policies and content guidelines like WP:MOS always trump internal project conventions unless there's an actual reason, clearly explained, for the project convention to be different. Guidelines can have exceptions, yes, but there has to be a good reason for the exception — and "I like it better this way" isn't a good reason. Bearcat (talk) 14:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Typing the URL is just the way I do things - force of habit. If you change the title of the link in the infobox, I won't complain. New World Man (talk) 01:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Joytv
The reason I phrased my references to the temporary generic-rebrand the way I did is because I can easily foresee a reader thinking "Why weren't they both rebranded at the same time? Why was the one in Vancouver rebranded before Rogers even had a deal to sell the stations in the first place, but the one in Winnipeg wasn't rebranded until after the sale was finalized?"

Educational stations
The way I see it — and as far as I know, the way most other people do too — the educational stations are effectively networks in their own right, not individual stations that would ordinarily be classified on the basis of whether they are or aren't affiliated with anything larger than themselves. I'd note that KUEN, while it says "independent" in its infobox, isn't filed in Category:Independent television stations in the United States or listed on List of independent television stations in the U.S..

Also lumping the educationals in with otherwise commercial independent stations misrepresents their context, and there's already a separate educational television stations template for them anyway. When you start getting into four or five different templates at the bottom of an individual TV station's article like there were on Access and Télé-Quebec, it becomes time to start thinking a bit about whether they're all strictly necessary or not — under normal circumstances, three templates should be the limit.

SVG logos
Hi, the logos that you have uploaded as SVG are fine when they are in the article, in the info box, but any file whether it is a logo or any other picture has to be of good quality when you click on the file and view it on its own, it doesn't matter if it is a SVG file or not. If there is no other logo available in any other form then it is considered fine to use but if there is something available that is fine quality when viewed in the article and on its own, regardless of the file type then that one is to be used. If you can find an SVG logo that is good quality when viewed in the article and on its own, then it can be used, but for right now the previous logos are to be used. musimax. (talk) 20:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

And as for The Comedy network logo, its not even the correct logo, so regardless whther its an SVG or not, its not correct so it doesn't belong. The Comedy Network logo was updated awhile ago. musimax. (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing about The Comedy Network logo is that they are clearly different and the "3D" logo is the one that is used all the time. The "2D" logo is never used anymore. It's not just a matter of CTVgm using a 3D and 2D logo depending on the situation, it's that CTVgm has updated the logo and uses the current one all the time. It's just like when CTVgm updated the Animal Planet logo, the only difference there is that the two are drastically different. Now the "Elephant and Earth" logo is history and the current "Letters" logo is now the only one, it's the same case for TCN logo. musimax. (talk) 15:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why the CTV 3D logo is not there, maybe it needs to be updated, not sure. But as for TCN, the updated 3D logo is the one used on-air during its promos, ad campaigns, its website and during the end credits of its original programs, and looking at its "Original Programming" opening bumper, it looks different from both actually, but they've been using that bumper for a long time now, maybe since the beginning, but either way, the 3D logo is the one used all the time, the 2D is gone for good, it really is a matter of them updating and changing the logo, just like the Animal Planet situation. musimax. (talk) 18:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The SVG version of their former logo (the 2D version), is not the correct one to use. If you can find a good quality SVG version of their current one, then it would be fine, but to replace the 3D version with the former 2D SVG logo file, is not correct and it shouldn't stay. musimax. (talk) 18:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally I don't really think it's necessary because it's only a slight modification as opposed to a complete change, but I'd still be fine with the idea. musimax. (talk) 18:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Your KOMO TV article edits.
I've noticed you've taken a recent editing spree to the KOMO-TV article here, and while I believe they were good faith edits, I think that they were misguided and I disagree with a few of them.

Deleting the Northwest Afternoon headings under "Current Personalities" may have been a common sense move, but I think it's perfectly valid to leave it under "Former Personalities" since Northwest Afternoon was a critical asset to KOMO's history and legacy as a leader of local programming (Northwest Afternoon was the longest running locally produced daily talk show in television history).

Furthermore, I disagree with your edit that removed the "Newscast Titles/Station Presentation" header. I've been following many television station articles on Wikipedia, and I've noticed that the use of that header (and in the way it was presented) serves as a valuable asset to the article by illustrating the history of the station's news division and how they presented their newscasts, and that it has found increasing use on a number of television station articles across Wikipedia in general. I'm aware that Wikipedia isn't a TV Guide of any sort, but I think the general consensus is moving towards it being acceptable to at least list the names of the station's newscasts (historical and current) in a chronological fashion as well as the station's history in terms of slogans/station branding concepts. It serves the article a disservice as well as readers looking for information on the history of the television station's newscasts/news division.

I think the Wikipedia practice of not listing newscast titles, in itself, should be banned.Srosenow 98 (talk) 10:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Vancouver Co-operative Radio
Thanks, Emarsee, for your interest in Vancouver Co-operative Radio. However, you just undid my correction without explanation. Please don't. I am correct. The name of our station is Vancouver Co-operative Radio and that must be in the beginning of the first line. The article is titled CFRO only to be consistent with how radio stations are listed in Wikipedia, not because that is our name. CFRO are our call letters, not our name. Korky Day (talk) 22:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Please see further discussion on my talk page. Korky Day (talk) 18:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Again you are making it incorrect after I've tried to compromise with you. You do not explain why the names by which everyone knows the station locally cannot receive more prominent placement in the article.  I can live with CFRO being the name of the article for the time being, even though that is objectionable, too.  (Would you insist that First Nations be called Indians even though they and most people disagree?)  You are upsetting me greatly by your going ahead with your changes without discussed them with me, so I am going to fix it and please discuss it if you disagree.  I am giving my rationale and you are not. Korky Day (talk) 01:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

'A' (TV system)
Are you sure that the single quotes aren't necessary? I've been watching the channel for months and everything is 'A' News, 'A' Morning, etc. Even the logo is featured with the two triangles... which likely represent the two single quotes. The website always uses the quotes. The channel itself always uses single quotes. Is there anything that you have seen (direct from the channel) that hasn't featured these quotes? TKGD2007 03:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The link you left on my talk page was broken, but I think I've read that before. Regardless, shouldn't the first sentence have the quotes... for example:

A, branded as 'A'

I thought that was the standard convention. I'm not sure... but shouldn't the page actually be 'A' (TV system) too? I know you wouldn't necessarily list it as 'A' throughout the entire article because of the Manual of Style. TKGD2007 05:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

wikiDOMO links
I added a link to each of the following pages [CTV] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTV_Television_Network, [CBC] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporation, [Rogers] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Communications. I don't understand why a link like this is not valid. In the case of Rogers and many other pages I links such as:

Yahoo! - Rogers Communications Inc. Company Profile CRTC chart of Rogers Communications' assets

Both these links offer the reader additional information on the topic on the page. Can you please explain why the links I posted are not valid?

I don't mean to abuse Wikipedia and the objective is not to indiscriminately post links throughout wikipedia. wikiDOMO is a consumer centric wiki that allows consumers to post information and most importantly review and rate organizations.

Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

URLs
I noticed the conflict in the page history. However, I still believe that displaying the URL in the infobox is not an unreasonable thing to do. The purpose of an infobox is to provide information that may be of use/interest to readers: this included knowing what (in this instance) a TV station's URL is. In this particular example (APTN), it is not the case that the URL is particularly complex or unwieldy, so to my mind it makes more sense to tell people what it is; hiding the link behind the text "APTN" just states the bleedin' obvious, whereas actually displaying the URL provides extra information. (This is a different purpose to what should be in the external links section at the bottom of a page.)

Anyway, it's not a matter of being "incorrect", that's just your interpretation of policy, not a statement of fact. --RFBailey (talk) 03:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Some people may bookmark a site, others may not, while some people may not always be using the same computer (and thus bookmarking is pointless). Why are you suggesting that we should deprive readers of useful information?


 * Second, which part of WP:MOS are you referring to? (The sample usage Infobox Broadcast here suggests that the URL is intended to be shown.)  --RFBailey (talk) 03:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how the part of WP:EL you're referring to supports this point of view. I had read Bearcat's remarks in the discussion above, and I do not agree with all of them.  Believe it or not, some people (myself included) do (sometimes) use the web by remembering URLs and typing them into the browser: sometimes it's actually quicker to type in an easily-remembered URL rather than hunt through my bookmarks.  So I don't think it's "counterintuitive" at all, and it is a "genuine need" (maybe not widespread, but that doesn't stop it being genuine).  Secondly, if a URL happens to be particularly ugly or long-winded, then in that situation maybe it is better not to display it.  But I don't think that www.aptn.ca, www.cbc.ca, www.bbc.co.uk or www.itv.com happen to be particularly ugly or long-winded, so I do not see how hiding the URLs in the infobox detracts from the readability of the infobox in that case.  --RFBailey (talk) 13:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, what I'm suggesting provides a link for those who want to click on it, while displaying the URL for those who want to see it. Your version only does one of these two things, so I'm not sure why you think this is better.  --RFBailey (talk) 23:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if there's anything I can add that you haven't already said, to be honest. If he's not swayed by you quoting my past comments on the subject, I sincerely doubt he'd be swayed at all by anything new I tried to say. Though we could always try taking the conflict between WP:MOS and the infobox guidelines to WP:RFC to see if we can establish a wider consensus one way or the other. Bearcat (talk) 22:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Bearcat, I was not swayed by your past comments as I explained above: I believe there to be flaws in your argument. (Essentially, you shouldn't assume that everyone uses the internet the same way you do.)  The purpose of URLs in infoboxes is not the same as external links sections.  Remember that there is the Ignore all rules policy, which seems relevant here.  --RFBailey (talk) 03:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Dongwong
Oh, I pretty much reached the end of my rope with him weeks ago. Just a suggestion, though: try not to get drawn into a debate with him about what his username is on Channel Canada — although it's fairly clear that you're right and he's lying (TVViewer can actually write a coherent sentence, for one thing), it really doesn't matter since he wouldn't get special policy-override rights on Wikipedia even if he were Pope Benedict. But at any rate, I'll review the situation to see if permanent blocking is an option. The only problem I foresee is that because he already does a big chunk of his editing without logging in first, I don't know if editblocking him would really resolve the problem — he'd probably just keep going as an anonymous IP.

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images.

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

To answer your question Wikipedia only supports a limited selection of SVG fonts (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_fonts). To correct your file I just opened the file with a text editor and replaced "'TimesNewRomanPSMT'" with "Times".

Speedy deletion of Image:650cisl.png
A tag has been placed on Image:650cisl.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

How Does this Work?
Before getting into whether what I tried to post was "unconstructive" or "vandalism", explain to me how this system works. I post something; then someone rejects it. Who has the right to reject things and how did they get that right? How do I appeal such rejection? How do you use the sandbox? - I posted the rejected text there, but it is completely out of context; how does anyone know what page I wanted to put the rejected text in? How does it get "tested" for approval?

As far as my specific posting to the KING-TY page:

"KING-TV frequently pre-empts national shows for local stories. Two examples of this are that, in May 1996, there was a very minor earthquake that occurred during the season finale of ER and they pre-empted ER to bring on their local news team An example of the content presented was a person in Spokane calling to report the water sloshing in their sink. More recently, at 4pm on Sun. Dec. 21st, they pre-empted Football Night in America to provide a weather report on snow that had been going on for about 24 hours."

How does this go from being "unconstructive" to being even worse - "vandalism" - as I remove pejorative wording? How can this be rejected when this very specific entry below on the same topic has been allowed? Shouldn't this then also be removed?

"KING opted not to carry NBC's telecasts of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals, the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals, and the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals when the games began at 5 p.m. Pacific time and CBC telecasts were available to most regional cable subscribers via CBUT in Vancouver. KING chose instead to air its regular lineup of newscasts and syndicated shows."

I really hope someone has the decency to answer. Although I don't know how I'll ever get the answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.105.170 (talk) 06:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

To Whom It May Concern :
Hello,

I am very sorry to this result. However, I have just made an account on Wikipedia-- and are not that familiar with these sort of guidelines (Yes, I have read the beginners section) I am shocked by your warnings towards me; even though I have presented thus, evidence of the truth.

Such as? I would like you and me to agree upon this conflict between Greater and Metro Vancouver Personally, I would go with both because the district still uses Greater Vancouver in the water and plumage systems.

Hopefully you can agree upon with me ; I am just fixing up some sentence flaws, I am unclear of how this is called Vandalism [Yes again, I have read through the guidelines, however to this myself I am unclear]

PS. The Picture about Arbutus Ridge is looking upon Downtown Vancouver ; to be more specific.

Thank you in regards; Please talk to me if you have any concerns or questions.

Thank you the most sincerely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talk • contribs) 03:19, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello again Emarsee,

Yes - Although on The Weather Network uses Greater Vancouver.

Secondly, Personally I think It doesn't really matter if the media uses Metro Vancouver. It is not exactly 100% official that Greater Vancouver is destroyed or not used anymore, and that Metro Vancouver is replaced entirely. It is only still under construction. It focuses more on the people, a whole lot of the population still don't know about the name change and still name Greater Vancouver. One of my friends from England, thought it was a train system running in Vancouver.

Anyway; I do not want to argue about the funny things on this Christmas Holiday ; all on all peace?

And yes you are right the mountains are focused on West** Vancouver. Not Vancouver West :)

However there is a flaw in the structure I wanted to edit out earlier View of ___what___ from Arbutus Ridge...etc

Thanks and Regards Peace

Lets just dont talk about this anymore Its getting on me :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talk • contribs) 04:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

As to your talk regards Metro Vancouver and against TransLink; the ORIGINAL NAME WAS NOT South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority. It was the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority, and before that - was BCTransit, BC'S Transit System.

It is TransLink because it would be a "a nickname" for GVTA / SCBCTA as of JAN/1/08.

As of Metro Vancouver, it is not the same. People still use Metro Vancouver only for media and district as of Official Name, HOWEVER; the population does not use the name Metro Vancouver in many cases;

a. it's hard to understand for tourists from countries b. it does not make sense in directories (EG YellowPages - they use Vancouver and areas surrounding it)

The concept I am trying to get here Emarsee is that Greater Vancouver is still in use, and thus - It is not an authority that you may choose to take down the old name, Greater Vancouver

Towards your talk about the RADIO STATION THAT USES METRO VANCOUVER:

As you said, Mr 'Emarsee' - the media does not Matter, as suppose you said awhile ago.

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talk • contribs) 06:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, what you said is true;

HOWEVER-

It may matter due to the population if the district calls Vancouver ; Supercali..etc People will not have interest in the name; which will make the district change the name

And as well Toronto does not use the name Metro Toronto ; it uses GTA [Greater Toronto Area] if you may not have already known.

Metro Toronto is only Applied as in professionally - it is not a thing used; and it is not a legal name.

Although people say that Metro Vancouver does not make sense; even when the district uses it; It might be helpful posting up the old name / and the new name

eg? Preceding Name : Greater Vancouver New Official Name as of 2008: Metro Vancouver

Helping me, helping others; and helping everybody. thanks as people are confused ; it'll be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talk • contribs) 06:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

As Well,

the term Lower Mainland is used against the people; even though its not official to the district and not legally correct, and the district has control but, -- everyone uses it. which led to even the district itself.

Now, People does matter.

However I do want to end this very childish argument -

Thanks and hope to get this solved.

Iiarecooll (talk) 06:32, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Also,

Lower Mainland is applied as Metro Vancouver

So Lower Mainland still takes in effect.

Greater Vancouver, and its surroundings, although Greater Vancouver still makes more sense -- Metro Vancouver is more of a legal name Even the Directories uses Greater Vancouver. Everyone. except for the Media and District itself.

The Main concept ; Greater Vancouver and Metro Vancouver should still be used in the Metro Vancouver page, and as well to include both histories as of dates.

eg. TransLink's new official name and old "Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority"

Thanks Iiarecooll (talk) 06:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Pardon, user Emarsee

Could we please end this childish argumentation, as you please.

I understand the fact; and I know what I've done wrong as a "beginner" on Wikipedia. I am sorry,

and as you please STOP this argumentation about Metro Vancouver

The "images cannot be added purely for decorative purposes" rationale applies only to images that are licensed under fair use.

Can you pls help me understand why you deleted my addition to the Transportation in Vancouver page? This is a private company (I have no business interest) offering a new transportation option for people who might wish to visit Bowen Island. I use it all the time, as do lots of others who live out here. Why is this different than the Aquabus listed on the page, or the private charter service that runs scenic tours of the park?

In November 2008, the private company Granville Island Water Taxi introduced daily scheduled foot-passenger service between Granville Island and Snug Cove, Bowen Island. The 12-passenger vessel Eagle XXX takes approximately 25 minutes to make the crossing, and runs as many as 16 trips per day in either direction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesglave (talk • contribs) 17:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
