Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 17:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks, Alexdw, for correcting the WNIT link on my home page. Welcome to Wikipedia!! >: Roby Wayne ^Talk 18:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem, just trying to unravel some of the redirect links I come across. Thanks for the welcome! :-) AlexDW 18:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

WISE 10pm Newscast

Wise did produce a newscast for MSNBC on Comcast cable 14 in Fort Wayne for about 5 years. Next time you better get your facts right before pulling something out of a story. Just wondering what backround you have with WKJG since I worked there for about 16 YEARS! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.221.128 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

I guess I was mis-informed. The original text implied that WISE produced the newscast for MSNBC themselves, which was obviously not true. It makes a lot more sense when you say that it was produced for Comcast and seen on Channel 14 (MSNBC), since cable companies override satellite signals for local stuff all the time. I didn't know that WISE did this, as I live in Angola, Indiana, far far away from Comcast's market. Thank you for the info, I cleaned up the wording a little bit... it should be agreeable to you. :-) I have no desire to get into a flame war/edit war over this. By the way, if you worked for WISE/WKJG, would you like to contribute more to the article? It has (apparently) got some serious problems right now, and I'm not knowledgeable enough in those areas to fix it. Thanks! AlexDW 18:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Also another FYI the 10pm news produced by INC will not be available on cable systems outside of Fort Wayne, just like when 33 did it.

W10BM

If you are still here, I'd just like to ask you about your WBY10 (W10BM) article. Is this station still on the air, or did you just feel like documenting an old TV station? According to the FCC, the station was off the air two years ago. Just so you know, I've cleaned up the article, and managed to dig up the FCC's records on this station. Feel free to leave your reply here or on my talk page. AlexDW 19:42, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

That is a error. We are still on the air. If you need any additional info call the station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BudhaCronX (talk • contribs) 08:22, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I gave the station a call, and the station manager and I have both since edited the article. Hopefully, it fairly and accurately reflects the current situation. AlexDW 21:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for pruning the TV station list! It's nice to have another editor read, understand and follow the instructions. Thanks again. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

It was my pleasure. Personally, I just wanted the list cleaned up so I could use it for its intended purpose. Now everyone benifits (hopefully). -- AlexDW 11:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I have made up a new list of full-service/class-A US television stations, called User:Alexdw/StationCounting. I have limited the scope in this way so it would only contain notable or semi-notable stations. Not a perfect method, but it was fairly easy to do. I hope to use this list to update the TV station list further, and to get an accurate count of TV stations in the US (for the progress table). -- AlexDW 18:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

That list looks good to me as well as your plan. Let's wait until the original list is complete so that those items can be removed from your new list. That way stations that already have an infobox do not have to be pruned yet again. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 19:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! :-) I could prune the semi-finished articles from the list fairly easily. I don't plan on putting this information into the main list at least until the "wrong article", "needs infobox", and "cleanup" categories are finished. I am also trying to de-redlink all of the translator stations on this list, to get them out of the way of the real work. -- AlexDW 22:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:TVS

Don't worry, I probably will be back. I just need a few weeks off, due to some recent disputes. See the comment I left here for more info. —Whomp [T] [C] 03:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

KJNP-TV

I was expecting some edits, but an advertisement tag? I thought someone might dispute the article's facutal accuracy, rather than its POV... the "Godless commies" comment should be a dead giveaway... AlexDW 15:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not necessarily the "Godless commies", but rather the "high definition Jesus". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azumanga1 (talk • contribs) 20:26, June 17, 2006 (EDT)

After filling in info on one too many TBN stations, I was getting bored. A television station in North Pole, Alaska was just too tempting... -- AlexDW 13:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

WUPA

How did you get the logo to go where it need to go? For some reason, when I put the logo in it just ended up on the line and I couldn't move it for any reason.--Dleav 05:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The trick that I used was moving the logo up a few paragraphs in the text. For example:

This text will appear above the logo, no matter where you attempt to align the image. You can align it right, left or center, and the text will still be above the image. It can be very frustrating.

TV logo

TV logo

This text will appear beside the logo. Because the text begins after the image tag, your web browser can properly align it against the image. This sometimes means that an image must be place well before it is mentioned in the text, but it produces a much more pleasing result.

I hope that helps.  :-) -- AlexDW 11:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Missing Station List

Thanks for creating the missing stations list. Very helpful, and now there's a bit of a focused goal for the WikiProject. Would a percentage progress bar help?--Firsfron of Ronchester 04:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking of implementing one. Also, I was thinking of merging my list with the one at WikiProject Missing articles with a more complete list. That list is more visible, although sadly out-of-date and innaccurate. Many of the stations that were listed there have incorrect call letters, mostly due to a missing "-LP" or "-CA".

At one time, the list supposedly didn't contain low-power stations. It was based on the List of TV stations (W) and List of TV stations (K), which originally didn't, and still doesn't, have the proper prefixes. Those lists, and the state lists, all need to be updated. I want to try to get at least the non-repeater low-powers on those lists as well. -- AlexDW 12:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I recall when we were building those lists, a year and a half ago, we were simply using the lists provided from the network web-sites, which themselves contained a few errors (and The WB had no official affiliate list at all!). Add a year and a half, a little neglect, and some bad edits, and you end up with two lists in need of serious attention. And, yes, the states lists could use an overhaul, too.

WikiProject Perth has a progress bar which has been useful on other projects I've worked on. I don't know if you want to use it, but I have found it very useful. I must say, I'm really impressed with your knowledge of WikiSyntax and the resources available, especially for someone who joined less than a month ago. Happy editing! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 15:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your compliments! I have been programming in various langugages for many years now, so WikiSyntax was fairly easy to pick up. I came to this project after trying to make a TV station database of my own, and noting how hard it was to find decent information on many low-power stations, most of whom had not web sites of their own.

I think I'll use the Perth progress bar when I update these lists. I might make three separate progress lists... full-service, Class A, and low-power. Since most of the low-powers (and many of the Class A's) aren't really notable, the last one will probably languish for a while. Does that seem like reasonable dividing points, or should they be further broken down into east and west (W/K)? I appreciate your input. -- AlexDW 13:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. At the rate we're building, I don't anticipate any of those lists will be that large for too long. I agree that WP is a great place to find obscure information, or of finding someone who knows how to find obscure information. And with so many editors, it has a big advantage over the website/webmaster model. Do you have popups? It's an extremely useful MetaWiki tool great for finding really short stub articles. You hover your mouse over any wikilink, and it will tell you how large the article in question is. I believe it is a must for any list-maker, and I use it on my lists. It is just a suggestion. Thanks again for your lists! Happy editing! --Firsfron of Ronchester 14:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I've added a Low Power list, and have converted the Station Counting into a progress page, and a pseudo-replacement for the WikiProject Missing articles list. We've got almost all of the full service stations covered, but the low-powers "need" quite a bit of work. -- AlexDW 18:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

It's looking great! Keep up the hard work! I hope you don't mind; I edited one of your sub-pages so the states are listed alphabetically.--Firsfron of Ronchester 18:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. The states were ordered alphabetically by two-letter abbreviation, so they are a bit out-of-order. Feel free to fix them, as necessary. -- AlexDW 19:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Indicating the country

Hello, Alex. I'd ask you not to take it personally, but I suspect from the "rvv"s (that tag's for vandalism, isn't it?) that you already did. For starters, it's not just U.S. articles I've been doing it to -- here's some examples from Denmark, Australia, and India. If you'd care to take a look at the "Geographical bias" section on Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Examples, you'll see it says:

Location: You are writing a universal encyclopedia to an international audience, so any assumption over location or "common sense" familiarity with geography should not be taken.

Specifying "United States" in an article about Apple Valley, Minnesota, might seem like pedantry (or even vandalism) to someone, like you, from that country, but you can't expect every possible reader in other countries to be perfectly au fait with the names of all 50 U.S. states (I know I get bogged down among all the ones that begin with Ms and Is). How many states of Malaysia, or provinces of Argentina, or counties of Ireland could you list (or even recognize) off the cuff? That's why, on my Special:Random excursions around the Wikipedia, I've taken to adding the country of context to those articles lacking it. I really don't see why you'd have a problem with that. Again: "universal encyclopedia" for an "international audience", from a "neutral point of view". The USA is a big country, an important country, for both the world and en.wikipedia.org, but please don't take call it vandalism when someone else thinks it'd be useful to indicate just what country Iowa or Wyoming or Vermont is in for the benefit of a potential reader in Kebbi or Balochistan. Best, Sgt Pinback 23:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The "Think of the reader" section on Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles (and related talk) makes some interesting comments, too. Sgt Pinback

I apologize for the "rvv" ... you can't edit your edit summaries. :-( I assumed it was a random edit, but I wasn't (at the beginning) aware it was a long string of good-faith edits.

However, I still take issue with some (not all) of the edits, specifically those in the "City, State, Country" format. Although it is informative, it is also extremely verbose. That type of geographic information is readily available in the page about the city, which is just "a click away". If I was refering to a local topic in, say, Gwandu, I (myself, not refering to some general opinion) would probably call it Gwandu, Kebbi; not Gwandu, Kebbi, Nigeria; or Gwandu, Kebbi, Nigeria, Africa, Earth, .....

I'm not looking at this as a national bias problem, but a taxonomic one. For a non-geographic example, look at the Gray Wolf article. It mentions the entire taxonomy of the wolf, from its Kingdom (Animalia), all the way to its genus and species (Canis lupus). However, in Animals of Yellowstone, the article simply calls it Canis lupus in one place, and a wolf elsewhere.

For radio/television station articles, at least, I could see editing the article to say:

WXXX-FM is a radio station in the United States, located in the city of Colchester, Vermont.

However, the wording:

WXXX-FM is a radio station in Colchester, Vermont, United States.

is just clunky, and overly verbose. I have not altered articles written like the former, but have generally re-written or reverted articles written like the latter. (At least that's how I remember it. YMMV. :-)) Generally speaking, I edited the articles once, then dropped them off of my watch-list. I have no desire to get into a silly edit war over two words... I have neither the time nor the inclination. I just thought it looked bad, and I "fixed" it. --AlexDW 02:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

While I realize it's for demonstration purposes, just wanted to point out that WXXX-FM is a radio station located in the Colchester, Vermont, United States, as this page popped up fairly early when Googling for it. --Dan 06:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Fixed... and for our readers out there looking for the actual article, here it is. --AlexDW 10:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. You're probably right about "Denver, Colorado, United States" looking kind of clunky (with a touch of air-mail envelope, too). Previously, whenever I hit one of those millions of RamBot U.S. city articles ("Armpit is a town in Remote County, Somestate.") what I did was change it to "Armpit is a town in Remote County, Somestate, in the United States", which at least breaks the comma, comma, comma rhythm. (Better still would have been "Armpit is a city in Remote County, in the U.S. state of Somestate", but that meant a lot more cutting and pasting of the various components.) However, in recent weeks, I see someone's let a bot loose on all of those, and most of them now read "... in Remote County, Somestate, United States". Which is probably why I abandoned the "... in the United States" formula in the face of overwhelming numbers. Long live air-mail. Regards, Sgt Pinback 00:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

WWTO-TV translator W50DD

I notice you removed WWTO-TV from Template:Central IL TV because there is a translator in Peoria. But then what market is WWTO-TV in? I was under the impression that the market took in that station because it's the only one in La Salle, Illinois and there is no other nearby market. (Also, W51CT Bloomington IL is in this market.) Maybe LaSalle is in the Rockford market, but I don't think it is. It might make more sense to add WWTO-TV and W51CT to the template than to remove WWTO-TV. --Closeapple 17:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

According to RadioStationWorld's list of Chicago market stations and the Echostar Knowledge Base's locals list, WWTO-TV (and La Salle County itself) is part of the Chicago, Illinois market. How well that actually reflects local viewing habits, I do not know. It is possible that Nielsen has moved La Salle into the Peoria DMA since these pages were last updated, but I don't have access to the county and community DMA lists. (Other sources that say Chicago: BackChannel, NAB (brief, PDF), Broadcasting & Cable.)

WWTO-TV's standing as a "Chicago" station is not without challenge, however: Time Warner v. WWTO-TV. If I were a cable operator in that area, I know I would have a hard time accepting their claim on Chicago, as they don't provide very good primary coverage there (although they do have a repeater in Arlington Heights.) Still, at least for the moment, Chicago does seem to be their "market", with repeaters elsewhere to provide greater coverage.

I wouldn't have any objection to putting in templates for the other markets. W9WI's list of stations in Illinois shows some of the repeaters I have listed as WWTO (35 TBN) and others as just TBN; since (I assume) WWTO-TV is itself a repeater of the TBN satellite feed, these nearby stations could be easily classed as repeaters of WWTO. If WWTO does originate programming, their affiliation with the station is still likely, given that, in many cases, the stations listed as WWTO repeaters are more distant than the stations listed as TBN repeaters.

In any case, it is highly unlikely that the individual TBN repeaters, regardless of programming, are actually notable. Mentioning them here seems like a good compromise (to me) between creating a few dozen more TBN repeater articles and ignoring them altogether. --AlexDW 18:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

RE: Thanks

You're welcome. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 13:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Infobox Broadcast

I meant to revert WIKISCRIPPS 07's edit as many of the stations' articles did not show the city and studio location. Sorry. --grejlen - talk 22:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

That's fine... thanks for the re-revert. --AlexDW 02:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Morgan Wick/2006 Network Shift

While I don't encourage it, I do typically let it slide when people futz around with pages in my user space. It generally has to be something minor, but if it's not fiddling around with things I did on purpose, like the way I format them, or introducing errors, I don't do any reversions.

But with you, and with the page above and User:Morgan Wick/2006 Network Shift old table, I'm going to have to ask that, no matter how tempting, you just don't edit them. I don't know if it's some quirk in your browser, or you're doing it intentionally because they show up as squares for you or you're afraid they might show up weird for other people or what, but every time you edit them, you remove all the crosses next to the station names. I'd kind of like to not have to keep reverting (or have other people revert) and thus either searching out what you did that was actually constructive, or actually losing such contributions because I don't care about them. Capice? Capice. Morgan Wick 22:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Got it. :-( I'm really not seeing the crosses, btw. --AlexDW 23:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Probably a system issue... your character set just doesn't cover certain characters. Morgan Wick 04:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

WWAZ

Despite the calls, this station hasn't converted to Azteca America at all, they're FamilyNet. It's not carried on many cable systems (I'm in Sheboygan 40 miles away), and I don't know why they haven't completed the conversion but they're still carrying FN two years after (and FN's site shows them as an affiliate, while AZA corporate doesn't show any Wisconsin affiliates). Just thought I'd let you know just in case you wanted confirmation from an area resident :). Nate 03:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the article! I've been buzzing through the last of the eastern full-power stations, and I guess I missed that. I figured that they'd already made the change, given their call sign. Anyway, thanks again! :-) --AlexDW 13:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

NIELSON MEDIA RESEARCH

FYI yes it is NIELSON MEDIA RESEARCH. This is the name of the company that does the media research and puts the RATINGS out to stations. The umbrella company is AC Nielson but here is a web site. Now don't change the WANE page back to it again. http://www.nielsenmedia.com/nc/portal/site/Public/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.245.221.128 (talk • contribs) 16:01, July 17, 2006.

Well, nice to know you can spell Nielsen... at least in one place, whoever you are. Despite a gap where they were separate companies, NMR was, and is again, part of the same company. As for changing the WANE-TV page... it looked suspicious, I reverted it. Simple. Now you have some facts to back up your position, it stays. Simple as that. --AlexDW 12:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely. I'm planning to use your station lists to create quite a few more TV station articles. I've just finished making KEFB, although it's pretty bare-bones right now: the station doesn't even appear to have a web-site. :/ Anyway, keep up the good work! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 21:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

underwater panther

Where did you find the interesting "copper cat" information about the underwater panther? That's one I didn't run across anywhere when I was researching the article! --Bookgrrl 20:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

It comes from Ojibwe/Potawatomi ledgends from around Lake Superior, where copper was often extracted from the waters to make jewelry. Mitzupishu (or any other take-your-pick spelling) is, of course, the spirit guardian of the waters — and became associated with this craft. Ledgend has it that Mitzupishu would give copper pieces to Nishnabe for their jewelry.

I also have story about Mitzupishu and Nanabuzho. Nanabuzho was not the greatest fisherman in the world -- many times the other young men in the village would go fishing and come back with plenty of fish to feed their family, while Nanabuzho had only one or none at all. Nanabuzho finally decided that he wanted to show them he could catch fish too. He prayed to G'dje-Manido to make the fish come to him. After he finishe his prayers, he went out into the lake in his canoe -- and caught many fish. The fish just kept coming and coming, he didn't know when to stop. Finally, when his canoe was full of fish, he realized that he had more fish than he could use -- more than the whole village could use. He was so ashamed that he took all of the fish and buried them in the woods, and returned to the village empty handed. Mitzupishu saw what he had done, and was very angry. He went to G'dje-Manido and said, "look what Nanabuzho has done! Look how he murdered my fish people!" (It was considered murder because he killed them not to feed his family, but out of pride and greed.) Mitzupishu asked G'dje-Manido what he was going to do about this, and G'dje-Manido decided to punish Nanabuzho and his village, and sent the thunderbird to bring great rains, and caused a great flood. Nanabuzho, out sulking in his canoe, was the only person to survive. He floated for many days, and finally came across an otter with mud in his mouth. Nanabuzho took the mud, and blew it out over the water, and made an island for him to live on. This is one of the many stories of Nanabuzho passed down to me by my father. --AlexDW 23:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Wasn't sure about that when I first saw the deletion (of course I am a layman compared to you). Thanks for explaining. Jarfingle 18:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from me, too! My thanks is unrelated to Jarfingle's, but the header works, just the same. There seem to be a lot more angry people this summer. Maybe it's the start of WWIII that's doing it, and the stagflation? Or maybe it's the crazy weather this summer. Who knows? ClairSamoht 19:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I only hope it calms down soon. Just look a few header's up and you'll see an angry message about WISE-TV's supposed newscast on MSNBC from the "WOWO Historian". And also, there have been numerous RfD's flying around on the TV stations project. --AlexDW 12:02, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

WISE TV

ClairSamoht is vandalizing the site. He is making dangerous assumptions about Granite Broadcasting. He is very close to legal action. User:Josephblowhard

From what I can tell, based upon evidence presented, Granite defaulted on a payment, and then later made that payment (albeit one month late). One would be correct in saying that they had defaulted, but not (necessarily) that they were currently in default, if the quoted SEC statement is true. After checking Granite's last quarterly report, I see that this is, in fact, the case. The potential truthfulness of these statements, however, is not particularly relevant to my (minor) spelling and markup fixes. --AlexDW 16:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I realize that it is not you making the changes but Mr. Smoht is quite militant about putting Granite in bankruptcy and that is not correct. I was hoping for your help. I would like to dispute facts in this article but everytime I do I am said to be commiting vandalism. User:Josephbloward

Image:CW Atlanta Logo.jpg

Hello Alexdw, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:CW Atlanta Logo.jpg) was found at the following location: User talk:Alexdw. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 11:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:WOTH25.png

Thank you for uploading File:WOTH25.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
