Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page WATE-TV has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblogspot\.com'. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

I don't know about the other line that you had a problem with in the WATE article (I had a problem with it myself, since I wrote the original article), but I reinserted the Noon News reference in the "History" section, specifically in the paragraph concerning WATE's "firsts in Knoxville" because it is originally mentioned there. WATE's was indeed the first noon newscast in Knoxville in 1978, because I anchored and produced it, and at the time, neither WBIR-TV nor WTVK-TV had newscasts at noon. I have a TV Guide for the Knoxville-Tri Cities-Greenville, Asheville, Spartanburg--Charlotte region, which shows what stations were airing at noon, to back that up. WATE also had the first Sunday 6 and 11 and Saturday 11PM newscasts, too--I also anchored those, too. Thanks! Calvin SneedCsneed (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
