Welcome
Hello Jbcauthe and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to KAET, do not conform to our policies.

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jbcauthe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page KAET, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, Jeremy! My name's Sammi, and I help write articles on TV and radio stations out here.

Let me explain something in a bit more friendlier terms. Most articles on TV stations in the US are what we call call sign titled. This means that the page is titled at a station's call sign. The exceptions tend to involve multiple stations at once, something like Kentucky Educational Television or Vermont Public. However, if someone types in Arizona PBS, they'll be redirected to KAET.

I'll also note that I would also have reverted most of the content you added to the lead myself. We have policies and guidelines against promotion; that's not what the encyclopedia is for. I wanted to explain the part that isn't easily explained by that guideline.

The information above in the "Managing a conflict of interest" section is a recommended read. It'll help you figure out some of this. You can also ask questions on my user talk page. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:47, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
