The DYK Barnstar | |
| To Sammi, on yet another article massively updated and yet another well-deserved DYK on the way. Well done! - Neutralhomer • Talk • 18:44 on January 25, 2021 (UTC) |
- Thank you Neutralhomer! It's not a DYK, but I recently did a near-3x expansion of an existing GA closer to you, WCSP-FM. It didn't have a lot of info about the early years of the station, so I set out to rectify it and bring it to the standard of other GAs and near-GAs I've written. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- That's some really good work! :) You ever have a spare couple moments, go nuts on WAIW. Dates back to 1946 and is connected to WINC (AM). WINC-AM was my undertaking. Took it from a start to C, to GA, and the only radio station FA (total brag). :D I don't have the energy to do the same with WAIW (the former WINC-FM).
- I miss the old "Jazz90", it was a good little station when it was WDCU. WPFW got their entire Jazz library with the sale, so that moved there, but Jazz had a 24-hour home at 90.1 and it sucked to lose that to C-SPAN. You only get occasional Jazz mixed in with the Pacifica shows on WPFW, which is fine, but when you wanna hear Jazz...you wanna hear Jazz. Unfortunately, out my way, neither matters much anymore. WPFW gets wiped out by heavy bleed over from an over-modulated WHFW (yeah, two frequencies away), while WCSP is completely covered now by WVRS. Luckily, there is Jazz24 from KNKX in Seattle...and they stream online. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:31 on January 25, 2021 (UTC)
- I have yet to scout out Virginia this year, but as always my ability to write articles that I like is really dependent on paper coverage. I got really lucky with KRMZ since Colorado's state historical newspaper collection had 1980s and 1990s Steamboat Pilot records, which dropped the surprise that the original KSBS-TV was an independent local station before going Telemundo! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Sadly, The Winchester Star (earlier The Winchester Evening Star) stinks for online articles. The Library of Virginia probably have their archives like all state libraries do, I just don't have access. I just go to the library (5 miles away in Winchester) and get the hard copy of the WINC-AM/FM file. :) This, though, is my all time favorite radio station history site. It's not newspapers, but it sure comes close. Back in the 40s, 50s, 60s, even into the 70s, the magazines and almanacs really documented EVERYTHING that went on. Someone sneezed, they recorded it and it got published.

Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- But, if you have access to the Library of Colorado, then you will probably have access to the Library of Virginia. Up to a certain point, you will be able to search The Northern Virginia Daily for more related articles on WINC-FM (now WAIW) and you can, of course, cross-reference what I have on the WINC (AM) article. It's nothing you have to do today, just when you get time. Trust me, neither of those stations are going anywhere. WAIW just got sold to EMF and WINC-AM is the Beck/Rush/Hannity/Levin news/talker for the area. Those two will still be on the air when everyone else has signed off. :D - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:11 on January 26, 2021 (UTC)
- It's rare that state collections have papers in the years I need for radio work, though I see there are a few years (spotty record) from NewspaperArchive. I might have to look into this one. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- I would not rule it out. :) They have newspapers, in Virginia, dating back to 1736. If it exists, we kept it. Other states and other countries too. :D That part is new. They didn't have that last time I looked. I believe Library of Virginia (LoV) is connected with the Library of Congress (LoC), since it all started here. :) You register here at the top of the screen. Since it's a library, it's probably free or stupid cheap. Usually if you have a library card in one location, it carries over nationwide. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:56 on January 26, 2021 (UTC)

DYK help needed
There is currently a shortage of DYK prep set builders and it is difficult to keep up with the rate required. Producing a balanced set is quite an interesting task. I am not able to both build prep sets and move sets into the queue. As a regular DYK contributor, have you considered promoting hooks to prep? It's not difficult, and there are tips on promoting hooks here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

You added the ATSC 3.0 field without first seeking consensus? Where do I see an example? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 02:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Mvcg66b3r: Working on this tonight. It's a flag that adds a little box to the top, and I also plan a category separate from the infobox. For a demonstration, look at KWGN-TV — I've put that page live with a new ATSC 3.0 category, an extra column on the subchannels table listing host stations for each sub, and the new top label. And yes,
|atsc3=and|above=can be used together. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:58, 12 February 2021 (UTC) - Oh, one more thing! "PSIP" is only extant in ATSC 1.0, so while I'm already an evangelist for dropping (PSIP) from these infoboxes, it's probably even better to do with stations involved in an ATSC 3.0 arrangement. FYI, ATSC 3.0 permits services to have major channel numbers that are three digits, and per a perusal of SiliconDust's forums, most ATSC 3.0 test stations do this by simulcasting channel 7.1 on 107.1 and so on.

Hey Sammi, would you have any qualms with me mentioning this on the WPRS talk page? I know we have differing opinions on this, but we want the same thing for the article, just different ways of going about it. :) I would like to get more opinions/!votes since it has been relisted. I don't think it would hurt if it came from our people (ie: WPRS). Since you are the OP, I thought I'd let you decide. Hope your day is going well. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:12 on February 28, 2021 (UTC)

Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.

There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2.

KBQS-LP
Since it looks like the KBQS-LP page will be deleted, I have started a new article (free of the hoax edits) in my sandbox (you can find it here). I would like your help, since you are so insanely good at finding information. I'm going to ping Mlaffs and Recnet in on this one as well. Now, even thought it's in my userspace, please feel free to edit at will. Go crazy. :) Also, please feel free to ping/bring in whoever you like as well. :) Have fun! - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:19 on March 7, 2021 (UTC)

- (lurking) @Neutralhomer: I do think it stands up myself, though instead of using the subject's name, I would instead list it as 'a woman in San Francisco falsely representing herself as part of the station and holding an FCC email address' or something of that matter. That might just be me who really hates someone getting their name undeservedly in an article, though. Nate • (chatter) 21:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Mrschimpf: Yeah, I can do that to. Cause she technically uses more than one name (actually 3 or 4), so I could knock it down to "On four separate occasions, in early 2019 and late 2020, beginning on February 16, a woman, completely unassociated Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen and KBQS-LP, claiming to be from the San Francisco area and using a false identity, filed applications regarding the station, making many outlandish and patently false claims."

Talk:Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite/GA1
Hi Sammi Brie. I've got a question (more of a comment) about your GA review at Talk:Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite/GA1 that's related to images used in the article. I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of the non-free images being used in the article; one of them has just been removed by a bot for not being compliant with WP:NFCCP and there's another one that almost certainly fails WP:NFCC#8 that I'm deciding whether to currently prod it or bring it up for discussion at FFD instead. I'm not sure how the removal of these two images would affect the GA review, but non-free use is not usually considered compliant just because an article is a GA or FA as explained in WP:ITSGA. Maybe you can clarify why you feel these two images satisfy all ten NFCCP since having a non-free use rationale is only WP:JUSTONE or the ten non-free content us criteria? -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:00, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: This is why I hesitate about GA reviews...I still feel new and raw when I do them, and the learning curve has been a bit steep at times. I didn't catch that the NFUR was for another article altogether on the infobox page. Really, the other one probably fails NFCC#8 too, now that we have the Graceland suit image which was added later (without that I think it would have been fine). The rest of my review stands, but I definitely have caught the message about being more thorough on examining images in GANs. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- I apologize if my previous post seem to be criticizing you as a GA reviewer; that wasn't my intent at all. I realized you didn't upload the files and add them to the article. I was really just curious about your reasoning for assessing the non-free images as OK and whether I was missing something. The bot removal was simply done as part of routine NFC cleanup and the rationale can be cleaned up if necessary to stop the bot from removing the image (though there's another file that's basically the same being used in Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite (album) which means two really similar non-free files probably aren't needed). If there's a problem though it would be whether it's OK to use an album cover for primary identification of what seems to be a TV show. Perhaps it would be better to use the opening screenshot of the actual broadcast itself or a the cover art for a DVD version (here's one example, but there seem to be several different versions) of the broadcast. As for the jumsuit screenshot, the free image of the jumpsuit used later in the article is one reason why said screenshot isn't needed, but another is that most of the DVD covers I've seen show him in the same jumpsuit which only further makes the screenshot unneeded in my opinion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: I'd be curious most particularly to find other cases of the use of album covers in similar situations (live concert/TV presentation and a separate article on an album of that concert). I am also going to ping original GA nominator GDuwen in re: the possibility of using the open to the broadcast as the source for an infobox image. I'd considered that the other image was appropriate since there would not be any freely available photos of the concert itself, but given the jumpsuit photo, on second thought it's redundant. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've seen cases where a film soundtrack cover has been moved to the main infobox of an article about a film when there's no movie poster being used, but I think this is more of an exception and only for older movies when there's a chance the same imagery was used for both and there's no stand-alone article for the movie soundtrack; in other words, the moving of the album cover is sort of a workaround to avoid the album cover from being deleted per WP:FILMSCORE or MOS:TVPRODUCTION. Anyway, it might be better to continue this discussion on the article's talk page then here since your user talk page might otherwise become bogged down. My bad or not starting this discussion their first. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:49, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly:@Sammi Brie: Thanks for pointing that out. I have to say that I didn't even check the status of the existing images myself. I noticed that it was not particularly the original poster for the concert, but that it was already in the article for a while. I started to think that maybe it was the poster itself! I'll upload a reduced-size version of one of the originals and settle this issue.
- For the second picture, I think it does meet the standard for fair use. It is illustrating the article of the concert itself with a widely used shot of Presley (often reproduced in newspapers of the time, but I was thus far unable to locate the original handout portrait to confirm the lack of a copyright notice and upload it straight to Commons). Since we discuss the performer and the concert at length, I don't think the picture of the jumpsuit itself would be enough to properly illustrate the article. His likeness seems to be relevant in my estimation.--GDuwenHoller! 19:18, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think the second image meets the standard for fair use, but fair use and non-free content are different when it comes to non-free image use on Wikipedia. Generally for a screenshot such as this, it's the screenshot itself that needs to be subject of sourced critical commentary per WP:FILMNFI; so, discussing the performer and the concert in general is not enough (at least in my opinion). The fact that it might be a widely used shot representing how Elvis appeared at the concert, on the other hand, might help establish it's context of use, but again there probably needs to be some sourced content in the article stating as much about that particular image to strengthen the chance of the file surviving a FFD discussion about it. In other words, you can't just say it was representative if reliable sources didn't say as much. My guess is that most likely any representative image used in the press at the time is going to a PR photo released by whomever produced the broadcast; so, if you can narrow that down, then it's possible it might be PD due to a lack of copyright notice. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey
Can you fix the KPLR-TV and KTVI pages. As KTVI declined to carry Fox Kids, KPLR considered picking up the Fox Kids shows. Had it occured, KTVI would have picked up Wild About Animals and Ths Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon in the fall of 1996, then picking up Popular Mechanics for Kids and Peer Pressure in the fall of 1997. This never happened. KNLC ended up picking Fox Kids. --2600:1700:4300:2C8F:E4F9:5253:385B:FAC0 (talk) 13:17, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Can you fix the KDNL-TV, Fox Kids, Repercussions of the 1994–1996 United States broadcast TV realignment and KPLR-TV pages. KPLR was intended to carry Fox Kids after KTVI declined to carry it, but turned down by Koplar Communications only to be picked up by KNLC, which due to controversy, KTVI picked up by the fall of 1996. --2600:1700:4300:2C8F:E4F9:5253:385B:FAC0 (talk) 00:25, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Should you fix the citations? KPLR-TV tried to steal the St. Louis Fox Kids affiliation from KDNL as KTVI declined (after it switched from ABC to Fox in 1995), but Ted Koplar says no, and KNLC picked up. The infamous messages during Fox Kids on the Christian station caused KTVI, which initially declined the coverage at first place to pick it up. --2600:1700:4300:2C8F:84EE:53BB:F34F:DE5B (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

- Can you please stop pinging me? I'm out here adding references, and, quite frankly, you're being sort of annoying here. The references I have added are on this exact topic, and I take on the projects I want to take on. I'm leaving this here because your IP is dynamic.

Passing GA reviews
Sammi Brie, in your last couple of GA reviews, when passing them, instead of just placing the GA template on the page, you have added "subst:" before the GA, which expands it into other template code. Although it looks the same on the page to the naked eye, it has undesirable results, since various GA processes and others are expecting the GA template to still be there. In future, please be sure to use the GA template in the normal way when you complete a review; the same applies with the FailedGA template if the nomination doesn't pass. Thanks for reviewing! BlueMoonset (talk) 16:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I caught myself doing that on one or two occasions, but I'm sorry about that. (Doesn't help that you do subst to nominate an article.) I'll definitely remember to be more careful in the future. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
