Good lord...

The next time I want to complain about how people mess up radio station articles, remind me of my last few days slumming it with television stations. When that whole digital shift happened a couple of years back, it looked like everybody covered the main stations, but they left most of the low-power stations alone. 25 articles renamed already and associated links fixed – some that changed their call signs are far back as 2007 – and I'm not even halfway through the list I'm working off.

It's a little too close to CoI, I think, since I'm a member of the workshop. Some editors are rather vigorous about claiming CoI. Adding a list of newspaper references isn't likely to start another flame war, but I don't think I'm going to add text. So I think I'll demur. Thanks for the offer, though.

DWST (1992-1998)

I appreciate the collaborative nature of Wikipedia, and in turn appreciate and respect a different opinion on the Proposed deletion ofDWST (1992-1998). However I am interested in how you can verify that the article is notable and is indeed a government held radio station when there are no sources or external links in the article? ^{(Cheers!

Thanks for uploading File:KERX-FM.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.
