 * It's discouraging to see our user-created content being used by Google who is making billions of dollars in ad revenue. OTOH Wikipedia would never be this successful if Google changed their algo to filter out or down Wikipedia hits. Google is God-like in other ways. -- Green  C  04:48, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Derry was Derry until the plantation movement when the land was "given" to the City of London hence Londonderry. Now finally both names are official, though you are correct Google are not interested in the historical context. Derry is not and never has been unofficial as it was the original name of the place.

 * Surely you mean it was given to the "City of Londinium"? That's the original name of the place, and therefore has "never been unofficial"? MPS1992 (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Betty White's age we can be reasonably sure about. But despite my repeated efforts, WSAT is listed by Google as adult standards and oldies. I don't remember if I added oldies to the article, but for the most part between 2006 and 2015, the station's music matched what is defined by the industry as "adult standards". The morning show and some special programs, and some music they played before sports events, were "oldies". Now, the morning show is the only thing close to "adult standards" but still wouldn't fit that definition. I guarantee the rest of the station's music doesn't come close. A few songs fitting that format here and there do not qualify.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:08, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
