February Logo

I would like to see the logo from February moved out of the logo gallery and into the article near a discussion of the creation of My Network TV, without disrupting the article. Can someone more experienced in Wiki-code who knows what parts of the caption to cut do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morgan Wick (talk • contribs)

I've reverted back for three reasons:

1: the line about Nets conflict games previously airing on WLNY (added by IP user "71.247.161.235") has NOTHING to do with this article; that fact is trivial. It belongs in WLNY, not here.

2: CoolKatt number 99999's attempt to restructure this article is unnecessary.

3: Johnissoevil's addition on the North Bergen tower, while being an important fact, can be rewritten, but I'll leave that up to him to do.

YES-produced sports on WWOR

Prior to the current Yankee and Nets games airing on WWOR, YES Network produced over the air games on other stations. The Yankee games were on WCBS-TV and the Nets games were on WLNY. Rollosmokes has deleted those references, citing it is unneccesary trivia. I believe that is more than mere trivia and has a place in the article.

Even if it is trivia, isn't one of the purposes of Wikipedia to share our knowledge with others. Even the smallest fact can create so much insight, and give one a better understanding of the subject. It is not like this article is too long.

I'd appreciate comments from Rollosmokes and others on the subject.

I continue to stand behind my reasons for deleting the WCBS-TV/WLNY stuff. To further expand, I believe that, in this case, those mentions belong in the New York Yankees and New Jersey Nets articles, but not here. IMO, it's trivial.

Now, as for CoolKatt's recent revisions, they are more than unnecessary. There is NO NEED to further section the paragraphs based on the separate ownerships, because it's redundant to do so in the manner which the article is presently written. CK attempted to do the same thing with WCAU [1] and KYW-TV [2] and it didn't work there. He just can't leave things as they are, but I'm not going to get into a diatribe about CK right now, because that's what this page is for.

As for Milchama, were you not near your regular computer or were you trying not to be noticed when you made those changes (hence the IP address?) Rollosmokes 03:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Milchama never claims (s)he was the one who originally made those claims. (S)he may only be defending that person. Note that (s)he did actually put those back in starting on 7/5, but all other additions of that info, dating back to June, are from IP addresses. That's a long time to not be "near your regular computer" (which isn't a reason to not use your username anyway, unless you're at a blocked IP, in which case you shouldn't be able to edit at all. If you don't want someone coming and using your account for vandalism, just remember to log out, or don't use cookies). I probably wasn't as clear on that as I hoped, was I?

Before certain people jump over the cliff...

Too much has been done recently to make a mess of what had been a decently-written article. The last revision looked too sloppy, so I had to make the changes to simplify it once again.

• CoolKatt's insistence on additional sub-sectioning the article based on the different ownerships of channel nine are redundant and unnecessary. On first sight, it makes the whole text look disorganized. I reiterate again that he tried to do the same thing with KYW-TV and WCAU and those efforts were nullified.
• Blueboy96 again rewrites lines and paragraphs that didn't need to be rewritten. He attempts to add more information, but instead he overwrites and ends up adding stuff that really isn't directly pertinent to the main focus of the article. The lines expanding on the aftermath of the UPN-WB merger and the creation of MNTV, and on how it all affected WWOR and its sister stations, doesn't belong here as it was written. This article is about WWOR-TV, not the ramifications which the Fox-owned UPN group as a whole endured during that time.

I know what CK, David Levy, and maybe others will say about this: I am claiming ownership of this article. As hard as it may be for you to believe (especially CoolKatt, the biggest practictioner of WP:OWN), I am NOT. My only focus here is to write in an effective manner that KEEPS IT SIMPLE. That's all.

Edit war

I'm seeing zero cooperation and a disruptive number of reversions. If this continues, I'm going to request that the article be temporarily protected. This will lock it into the wrong version for someone, so I suggest that you stop reverting and start discussing. —David Levy 18:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

If people keep reverting this, I will nominate the article for deletion. CoolKatt number 99999 19:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
