Reversion of 717566120

edit

I reverted the following: "AK was an award winning program broadcast by APRN from 2002 to 2008". First, AK still airs, but as a segment on the Friday edition of Alaska News Nightly. Second, ANN has aired five days a week since 1978, or in other words, for a whole lot longer than AK. For the latter reason alone, did it ever possibly occur to anyone that mentioning ANN would be a logical starting point in our coverage of APM, rather than yet again automatically giving undue weight to something merely because someone bothered to write an article about it and no one else has endeavored to have that article deleted? With all the COI issues this article has had, that just might be something to think about, specifically with respect to whether our coverage of this entity leans more on the side of information or of promotion.

Thank you indeed for taking the time to explain. Many editors do not bother. However, sorry RadioKAOS, but I do not follow your logic. If the AK article is that bad why do you not just put it up for WP:AFD yourself. Or, why not just add your sentence/s re ANN to the APM article yourself to provide the exact context you provide just above? Surely it is better to have the AK article linked into the APM article so that people can find it a bit more often so that it might get attended to, rather than just people stumbling onto the orphan and thinking it is all okay? I will state up front that I am from Canberra in Australia and freely admit to knowing almost nothing about Alaska, so subject to any advice to contrary will defer to you knowledge re anything Alaskan. However, as a wikipedian, there is nothing in the articles to indicate that my edit was inappropriate, in fact the contrary, I strongly suggest it was a "good" wikiedit. So unless the articles are changed to make it different, I am very inclined to put my edit back. I see you tag yourself as an inclusionist. I would also categorise myself that way. I presume therefore you would prefer to keep the article, fixed, rather than have it deleted? Looking forward to your comment/s. Regards. Eno Lirpa (talk) 10:57, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
