Hits Radio (UK)
With reference to the 2021 RfC on the Greatest Hits Radio station rollup, I note that the same thing is now happening with various Bauer CHR/Hot AC stations being rolled up into the Hits Radio brand. Someone enthusiastic is already going around moving these to the Hits Radio titles, e.g. Hits Radio Staffordshire & Cheshire rather than Signal 1. I'd support the same thing as happened with Greatest Hits - i.e. the scope of these station articles stopping at the point of the Hits Radio rebrand, to preserve the history of each unique station. I don't, however, know how to do an RfC so would appreciate any assistance! Flip Format (talk) 11:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Flip Format The problem I am having with applying this consensus is that the GHR rollup led to the axing of a lot of local programming. This rollup is not doing that. Is that a correct assessment? Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 06:31, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware, and I'd defer to those who are more enthusiastic about the Bauer-verse on this, there are no changes to programming at these stations at this time, it's just a change of branding. However, the stations have already had most of their local programming removed - all except a single morning show, and not even that in some cases where even that show is now shared (e.g. in the case of Radio City (Liverpool) and Rock FM). I'm not sure that these stations in their current state are worthy of articles - but their previous incarnations certainly are.
 * My preference would be for the articles to primarily discuss the stations as they were and their histories, including some very significant stations such as Radio City, rather than to focus on their dying few months where they are mostly functioning as network relays. For many of these stations, there is enough material out there to produce separate articles on, for instance, Radio City as a local station (1974-2024, when it lost its local morning show) and Hits Radio Liverpool, which might be an acceptable compromise.
 * A complicating factor is that there are changes to regulation coming down the line within the next 12 months which will permit stations to drop even the single local/regional show that is currently being broadcast - once that happens, these stations will probably be subsumed entirely into a single Hits Radio program. There are people out there who seem very enthusiastic about the Bauer changes, to the point of moving these articles to new titles even prior to the re-brand, but I'm keen that we don't lose the stations' histories. Flip Format (talk) 09:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Flip Format The name change might be as good a time as any to establish the cutoff then. I would argue that given the limited local output post-name change, "Hits Radio Liverpool" (for instance) as an entity is not standalone notable, especially, if it's likely that a national breakfast show will soon be permissible. I know that in the last couple of years, Newspapers.com through WP:TWL has increased its UK holdings, which might make it useful to write the pre-internet histories of a lot of these stations. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 21:30, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd agree that there should be a cutoff at the point where these stations re-name themselves, which I believe is this week. Radio City, for instance, is clearly notable on its own as the main commercial radio station in Liverpool for 50 years, without needing to be attached to an article about whatever is currently on 96.7. There can then be a general article about the Hits Radio network, with mentions of the local morning shows - I don't believe this network produces enough local programming to make the individual stations notable. I don't know, however, how to action that in the context of other editors going around moving articles to "Hits Radio [area X]" names and subsuming the often lengthy histories of these stations into articles about needle-waggling Hits network stations.
 * I have access to the Entertainment Industry Magazine Archive via ProQuest, I'm not sure if this is included in TWL. It mostly deals with TV and movie topics, but has a good archive of Broadcast (magazine) from 1960-2000 which has reasonable radio industry coverage for much of the histories of these stations. I also have access to LexisNexis which has good national newspaper archives for the UK, but what I'm missing is local/regional press, which is where a lot of stories about these stations will exist. Flip Format (talk) 10:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You are probably talking to the only other person on the project who has access to this ProQuest module (which is not in TWL),, but for its very valuable US publications (a shadow library has Broadcasting quite complete, but no Variety or Hollywood Reporter; conversely, ProQuest's Radio & Records run is kind of terrible). I wonder if I might actually be the single largest user of ProQuest IDs on the encyclopedia. I feel like Newspapers.com is rapidly taking in a lot of UK publications, especially in recent months; it might be worth your time to learn how to clip from it as it is available through WP:TWL. I am simultaneously putting a post in WT:WPRS to get the ball moving. I am a little tied up with some RL projects and my US TV station work. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 05:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

This user (for the most part) has been uploading non-copyrightable logos directly to Wikipedia when they could have used Wikimedia Commons. I had to "clean up" after them. (The two KSBW logos I let slide because they're so complex.) Can you explain to this user about this? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

To Wong Foo GA nomination review
Hi @Sammi Brie, this is just a message regarding my corrections to To Wong Foo if you haven’t seen them already. I responded to your review on the article’s talk page. Since I only began correcting the article yesterday, does this mean the review period is expired and I will have to resubmit the article for good article consideration? Thank you.

 * @Spectrallights No, not at all. You're doing good so far. The main thing I need to see is that release section being reworked. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 02:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Sammi Brie I could not find much info on promotion, aside from Swayze going on The Tonight Show to promote it, but that seems pretty standard for actors promoting their movies so I didn't include it. I also added a few lines to Filming about the director being pregnant while filming and Spielberg offering to step in at one point, but if it sounds too much like IMDb trivia, I can delete it. Also added images of the actors in the Reception section. Spectrallights (talk) 22:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
