re: KVMX

Okay, I wasn't aware of all the changes going on. I'll keep an eye out for when it officially changes and try to help out with the appropriate procedures for moving the page, redirects, etc. Thanks for informing me. ;) Latics 22:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I've replaced your statement with the appropriate template with this edit. I'll try keep up with the pages and move them when the time comes. Latics 22:39, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

re: KBKO

I've put in a requested move for the page. So if you would like to follow it, just check Wikipedia:Requested moves#15 August 2008. I'm not sure when an admin will get to it. Latics 23:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Nancy is an admin. I've left a message on the user talk page to see if she could handle the move. :) Latics 23:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, in the event of another station change, we'll know what to do. :P Latics 23:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Nancy monitors the speedy delete requests. I tagged the KVMX redirect page for speedy delete in order to move the page and she took care of the move for me (sometimes the admins just delete the page and I have to move it myself). I really think the KBKO page should remain a disambiguate page with a listing for KVMX stating it was formerly KBKO-FM, that way they can still get to recently moved article if they happen to type KBKO. Either that or speedy delete KBKO, move KBKO (AM) there (since it has the full edit history) and put a "for the station formerly known as KBKO-FM..." pointer at the top of the page. Disambiguate is probably better though. That's generally how we handle this kind of change. RobDe68 (talk) 00:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi guys. Per the messages on my talk page I am more than happy to help but looking at the discussion above and at WP:RM it seems like you haven't yet reached a consensus about the the best way to handle this - i.e. whether to do the move or to do keep KBKO as a disambig page. Cheers, nancy ^talk 07:56, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Airstaff schedule

I absolutley do not agree, I think they sould be allowed as i put them on, i am not exactly telling anyone what time they are on just what shift they hold down and who they are. In my opinon wikipedia is wrong in this sense. I think they should be allowed because the jocks are the most important part of a radio station, without them most radio stations would not be where they are today. Take WRIF or WKQI in detroit there morning shows are the most popular in the market and it is kind of cool and go online and see who actually is on it. Another reason (which is kind of stupid to some people, but to radio people like me it is kind of cool) is that it is cool to look back in the history and be able to see who was working there one or two years ago. Me being a radio buff, i keep track of some radio stations lineups and how they have changed over the years. Those are basically my reasons for keeping them, and I think the people who write the rules at Wikipedia are just ridculous. i don't get there logic as to why that can not be included. I am pretty sure not one radio station around the world, has complained because there jocks names are on it. and hell, it is not even an advertisment, I just dont get it.

Anyway thanks
(hope you understand why I want them on pages)

Schedule Issues

Thank you for being supportaive in this, one guy on here talk is always taking stuff off that has anything that has to do with the DJ's, whether they are still on the station or not. back in august i did a "former personalities" section on stations WKQI, WYCD, WDTW-FM and KBWF (which is still up, shhh.) he took them down. and i listed referances so i thought it would make it better, but i guesss not. i dont know why. out of all the people who try to correct things, he is the worst. I think it is really cool to have stuff like that up, for some "old folks" who would like to look back at who was on that station, but no he had to take it off. I also saw what he did to KUZZ, now go to the detroit market and i put an airstaff schedule for just about every radio station and no one touches them except for when i put in the timeslots. How would we get wikipedia to have them change the rules and let us put these lineups on.

Thank you very much Joemam993(Talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC).

Airstaff issue

I will try to put up the lineups for KUZZ, KLLY and KKBB. To me it is fine, but i think what they dont like about it is the timeslots are shown. Everytime i try to add a timeslot they take the entire section off. So maybe it will be fine if you just take off the times. Head on over to the WYCD page and it seems to be fine when you have it like that, i change it all the time and no one seems to care. Try redoing it like that. I just did it for KUZZ. what do you think?, i know it doesent have a much information but when i do this, they seem not to touch it or get rid of it. Sorry i could not get to KLLY and KKBB Usually i do it like this and most of the time no one gets rid of it, unless i add timeslots. Now one user Bearcat told me to make the lineup like they are on the CFNY-FM page, but it looks ridiculous might as well just make a whole other article for each of the jocks. Anyway did you go over to the WP:WPRS, if so what did they say. I did not have time to get over there and check it out.

Thanks, hopefully somethin' will change Joemam993(Talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC).

More jock stuff

Well i do agree about adding stuff, like ususeful information, but why not just a list and make a page for a certain jock. Did you check out some of the detroit stations yet. I think they look fine like that. what do you think. should we just add another section to the page listing things that the station does. Like for WYCD in detroit. for the midday guy he does from 12-1 "Lunch On Demand", and also the station does "60 In A row" sixty minutes of nonstop music. I mean if that is what they want us to do, i dont get it. That is basically advertising stuff for the station. i dont know why not just keep it plain and simple and just have a list like i put it. What do you think.

Thanks and we will just have to wait and see
Joemam993(Talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 00:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC).

That's what they want us to do, explain about what like the midday guy on WYCD what he does instead of just his name and shift. Some people that read this stuff don't know about the deejays. Maybe we better think about that.--JoeCool950 (talk) 05:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

DJ stuff

Ok, i get it that we should add things that the jocks do, but there are some problems with that. Sometimes they do nothing or they will only do it something for a week or two depending on what it is. basically saying it always chagnes. but if we do, do it this way, here is a model of what i would do

Example

• Mid-days: Joe Six-pack (10am-3pm)
  • Lunch On Demand, 60 in a row
• Afternoon Drive: Susy Smith (3pm-7pm)
  • 60 in a row, Drive by request @ 5

What do you think about that? The only why i would just keep it a list is because not all radio stations do that type of stuff. i mean if a radio station does like a commercial free hour, that usually is not in just one shift. that is throughout the entire day. now i know morning shows do a ton of thing, example on WKQI in detroit "Mojo In The Morning" does a ton like phone scams, war of the roses, celebrity dirt etc. so maybe with just morning shows or something. I think if a show is very popular in town we can just make a page for it. or we can even make links to the dj's bios on the websites. i dont know what do you think.

I also added my opinoin on the radio project page. its at the very bottom

Thanks

Please stop

You're undoing proper formatting changes to multiple radio station articles in violation of Wikipedia procedures WPRS standards. Please stop doing so immediately. - Dravecky (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

You need to read Wikipedia:WPRS#Introduction for an example of a properly formatted radio station article introduction. These are standardized introductions for licensed radio stations because this is an encyclopedia, not a fansite or promotional vehicle for the station. - Dravecky (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

More about Radio Airstaff's

People on wikipedia, are, in my opinion F***ed up, they don't even let me have a say in what i want in these pages. Now that gets me mad. One guy who i have told you about before and really pisses me off because the guy deletes everything I do, JPG-GR. I cant do one thing with the airstaff without him deleting it. He even took down a section in shich i put past personalities on. I thought it would do great because of the historical aspect of the station, but not in his eyes. He wants these pages not to mention a thing about anyone who has worked at the station, which is so stupid. They said our opinions belong on the talk page of WP:WPRS, but it wont make a diffrence because they already have there mind set on how they should not be allowed. I don't know, i am just gonna keep the ones that i have written and keep them in the list form that I have always done. I also agree i am done with them deleting all of the work i have done with wikipedia. So if they give me any trouble as well. I am done and will delete my account (How do you do that though). One thing, have you added your opinion on the talk page of the radio project page. I have not got a chance to look at it yet

Thanks and we will see what happens

User page

I've restored the deleted versions of your user page. But I'm curious as to why you asked for it to be deleted if you didn't want it to be? Stifle (talk) 08:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, no problem. Stifle (talk) 17:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Radio

I do apoligize for the stuff I said about wikipedia, I just got mad about what they were doing to these pages, because it does take a long time to figure stuff out to put on these pages. In a very strange way it is almost like dectective work, trying to figure out where everything or in this case everyone goes. One thing though that stil don't get is, why are they taking down the stations prievious arbitron ratings. Maybe you could shed some light on this subject as to why they took it off of the WYCD page. Again I am sorry for what I wrote before. and thanks for helping me out with trying to get Wikipedia to put this stuff on the pages.

Thanks Again

Excessive edits

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to KVMX, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. It's getting really hard to scroll through the edit history due to the sheer number of edits you do on certain articles, some minutes or even seconds apart. You really should utilize the preview feature until you are totally satisfied with all the edits you are making so there aren't as many overall edits. RobDe68 (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

• I thought I'd add that another option to cut down on the edits is to copy the page to your Sandbox (click red link) and make all your edits there and then put the finished product on the main article. I'd been meaning to mention this to you for some time and really should have said something sooner. Thanks. RobDe68 (talk) 20:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

K261CO

For what it's worth, Wikipedia policy isn't that we necessarily have a separate article about each individual radio transmitter. If K261CO just repeats KDUV's programming without originating any programming of its own, then it should simply be a redirect to KDUV's article rather than a separate article of its own. And just so you know, your question was a bit confusing, so it took me a while to figure out exactly what you wanted me to do. Bearcat (talk) 22:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Username

If you are wondering why I changed my name. It is because, After I basically said that some wikipedians were screwed up, no one would either help me or when i asked a question would really not say a word and direct me to something else. Or they would talk to me sounding very stern. And I don't want people that I don't even know treating me like junk on wikipedia. So I just changed my username. Now I have no clue really what i did so wrong, I just got a new username and password. Anyway I don't know if you have any control over it or know anyone that does, but please help me not get blocked. All I want to do on this website is make the pages look better or what I thinks look better especially with the airstaff sections (no offense, but I hate the way the prose is set up. I liked it better as the "mornings: joe schmoe, mid-days: mike smith etc). I do understand that we should not use the station ratings like I have been putting them up. But I still am confused about it. One guy told me to convert them to prose. and then other people say they are not allowed. Can you atleast have the current rating on the page and just change it everytime they get a new one. I AM VERY CONFUSED ON THIS ISSUE. So anyway, I am going to say this again like I did to JPG-GR I am sorry for saying what I sayed about some wikipedians. I just got caught up with the things they were doing to the pages. I did not really mean it.
