Footnotes[edit]

I would advise using citation templates in order to have more readable and complete footnotes and bibliography sections. --PhantomS 20:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the event you didn't see this elsewhere, thank you for the suggestion, and the pointer. I'll try to work this in, and see what happens. Eric O. Costello 13:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A classification[edit]

Article is comprehensive, helpfully detailed, superbly sourced, and clearly written. After copyediting and a few formatting tweaks, it should be able to move to FAC shortly.—DCGeist 21:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"NBC Blue" to just "Blue"[edit]

This article says this radio network, originally "NBC Blue," was called "Blue" from 1942 to 1945. The article NBC says Edward Noble bought it from NBC and dropped that part of the name in 1943, the following year. Can anyone confirm which is right, so we can make the articles consistent? Ted Watson 20:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded to this at your talk page, T.W. Eric O. Costello 01:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:WFCI2.jpg[edit]

Image:WFCI2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:LuxBlue34.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

An image used in this article, File:LuxBlue34.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion for the following reason: Wikipedia files with no non-free use rationale as of 3 December 2011

What should I do?

Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale, then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Deletion Review

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Blue Network/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Might well qualify for GA candidate. Only real glaring objection I see is a formal lack of references/sources cited, independent of the footnote section. Badbilltucker 19:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC) Hmm! Do you mean a "references" list, with a separate break-out of the magazines, books, pamplets, &c. cited? Eric O.

Todius Barnard LaRoche[edit]

Who is this person? They're referred to as a grandson of one of the people who bought the Blue Network in 1943, but I can't see how this is relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric O. Costello (talk • contribs) 01:37, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
