There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Fairly sure I've pestered you about this before! -- TNT (talk • she/they) 00:39, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:10, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be enthusiastic about Sammi as an admin. Being very content-focused to the exclusion of traditional administration is the thing people would say, but I don't think the history of RfA bears out that this actually gets enough opposition to either fail or make something unusually acrimonious (important distinction...). I'm also, importantly, not sure it's true. Sammi is huge in a lot of our main page processes, which need admin labour. She's a massive producer of quality content, a smart and well-reasoned person who can create and consider complex ideas, and deeply involved in a part of the project that needs people with the tools to keep it running and correct its issues (WP:ERRORS is starved for mops). She'd be fantastic. Vaticidalprophet 00:27, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaticidalprophet: I disagree with you on both counts. Ergo Sum's RfA in January 2020 was somewhat acrimonious with yours truly opposing due to lack of admin work. Also, Miss Brie's AfD work is enough to assuage such concerns, as AfD is one of the first points of scrutiny encountered by candidates. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:35, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I went 'unusually' for a reason -- Ergo Sum's RfA is specifically one I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I was specifying a much higher intensity than its (more of the "drives you off the project or considering it"/"horrible and broken process" kind). I'd forgotten Sammi's AfD work, thanks for the reminder; I was counteracting her own possible argument, because I know in the past she's expressed a sense of feeling too little other-involvement to run RfA, and I wanted to remind her there are important admin-needing tasks in her direct area of most interest. Vaticidalprophet 00:44, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen Sammi around before and think she would make a great sysop. Java Hurricane 04:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very humbled to hear all these kind words, but with my RL situation right now, I'd like to wait until I have a bit more certainty on things before committing to an RfA. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:04, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up on regional categories

Hey Sammi! So regarding the categories, what are the parent categories or pages?

Insular Areas mass media navigational boxes‎ -> Insular area "Insular areas mass media navigational boxes"?
Midwest Region Intrastate Broadcast Templates‎ -> Midwestern United States "Midwestern United States mass media navigational boxes"
Northeast Region Intrastate Broadcast Templates‎ -> Northeastern United States "Northeastern United States mass media navigational boxes"?
Southeast Region Intrastate Broadcast Templates‎ -> Southern United States "Southern United States mass media navigational boxes"?
Southwest Region Intrastate Broadcast Templates‎ and Northwest Region Intrastate Broadcast Templates -> Western United States "Western United States mass media navigational boxes"? Gonnym (talk) 08:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of cruft in this whole mess. You are correct that is one of the CfDs I need to do. There should not be any categories titled Intrastate by the time I'm done; seems like a few obscure editors eons ago gave us some crufty cat titles. The parent cat, Category:Regional Intrastate Broadcast templates, should be renamed "United States mass media navigational boxes by region". Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:29, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a ping for Gonnym. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:29, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated the parent category now. Gonnym (talk) 08:35, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go to bed now, Gonnym, but this cat tree is dreadfully named. Hopefully this gives you an idea of what needs doing. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:37, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On revision my edit

I honestly do not agree with your revision my edit on KCPQ which is the 2nd time this has happened (the other was resolve after telling the editor it was required to be italicized per MOS due to it being a title of a tv program). I was already trying to make sure the template is consistent with other stations, including with other TV Stations. If you mean by "self-evident", why would you even consider trying to see how consistency with how templates of TV Station info boxes should be? If you have 2 names of brandings, it must be labeled. 20chances (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Sammi Brie is a very experienced editor in this subject area, I'd generally be inclined to trust her judgement here. The two brandings are listed in the template already, I'm not sure I see the need to add the distinguishing text (but I'm not an expert in this topic area). Are there examples of other GAs or FAs in this topic area that have this different form of template that you prefer? Also, the first revert wasn't even by Sammi Brie, so you should take that up with the reverting editor. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Trainsandotherthings: That was Mvcg, which was resolved. As for my criticism with Sammi's revert edit, it has to do with trying to staying consistent with other pages. Like WPIX-TV, or WNYW, and others when it comes to the infobox format. I'm still awaiting a response. 20chances (talk) 05:49, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more than happy to reply to this, @20chances.

When I write GAs in this field—I have been involved in every GA on a US TV station, of which there are now 14—I am attempting to also write the state of the art in the topic area. The television stations topic area has historically been a backwater for the correct application of project-wide policies and guidelines. For instance, bolding to indicate call sign meanings is proscribed by MOS:ACRO in our Manual of Style, but it took a ridiculous RfC in 2019 to confirm that. We used to have radio and TV station articles with "(defunct)" in them; I worked to end this and move more than 100 pages after being told that this was not concise disambiguation per the Manual of Style.

MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE is also in the Manual of Style. It is a section that encourages concision in infoboxes:

When considering any aspect of infobox design, keep in mind the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored, with exceptions noted below). The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. Of necessity, some infoboxes contain more than just a few fields; however, wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content. Avoid links to sections within the article; the table of contents provides that function.

For an English-language television station, it should be self-evident to our readers that "Fox 13 Seattle" is the overarching brand and "Fox 13 News" is the name applied to the newscasts on the station. (That said, some stations brand even their non-news programming under a name like "12 News"; guess what, there's only one listing at KPNX.)

We have had a historical tendency in our topic area to load articles with more cruft than they probably should have. The GAs I write are a special class of page in this field: they are not only intended as examples of our highest-quality work but also as models for the stylistic application of elements in similar pages. My interaction with the GA review process has helped lead to some of these changes, as has my general adherence to a goal of cleaner infoboxes. If anything, the other TV station pages (e.g. WNYW) should be using this style.

I hope this explains what I'm doing and why. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still trying to get the gist of it. And also, I hate to explain about this @Sammi Brie but what the hell is a "GA"? I know I sound like I'm a 5 year old but I honestly don't get everything about it. God, I honestly hate that feeling when someone reverts my edits, even if its in Good Faith. 20chances (talk) 15:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that feeling. A GA is a Good Article, an article that goes through a review process and meets a specific set of Good Article criteria. KCPQ is one of these, having been listed last year. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:34, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox broadcasting network convert

Hey Sammi, is Template:Infobox broadcasting network convert still needed? Gonnym (talk) 09:53, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym: I've been doing conversions of that as I have time to try and deprecate {{Infobox broadcasting network}}. (Some pages called that AND {{Infobox television channel}}, so...) Problem is a lot of uses are a weird mishmash that don't fit one of our templates, especially BBC/ITV regions and broadcasting companies/organizations (not individual channels) like Sveriges Television. I've been unsure what to do with them. (Speaking of the television channel infobox, an RfC on it just hit 30 days and I'm going to need to plot next steps...)

Template:Did you know nominations/Arnold Oehlrich

Sammi Brie, I wasn't sure whether you aware that issues you raised in your review have been addressed. Can you please return to see whether the nomination is ready to be passed, or needs more work? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:44, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @BlueMoonset. I never got pinged, so... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:20, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sammi Brie, thanks for returning to take care of it. They don't always ping you, unfortunately. I did have to subst your dyktick template; the bot looks for the resulting icon rather than the template, so icons should always be preceded by the "subst:" when used at DYK. (I just copy/paste the ones above the DYK editing window when placing an icon on a nomination, which have the subst already there, so I don't forget to include it.) BlueMoonset (talk) 05:41, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, brain freeze. I should know this by now after about 450 reviews... 😅 Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:18, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for KBIM (AM)

On 13 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article KBIM (AM), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Roswell, New Mexico, radio station KBIM was so successful that its owner was able to start two other stations with its profits? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/KBIM (AM). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, KBIM (AM)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Red links in interlanguage links

Hello! I'm correcting the articles according to your orientations from yesterday, and I have a question. Is it okay for the red links to the English Wikipedia to appear in the interlanguage links, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your attention in advance.

Misplaced CSD?

Just noticed you tagged User:JimmySand9/SandboxWJXTABC as a blatant hoax CSD. While its qualities as an article may be up for debate, its for sure not a hoax. We have a article on the station in mainspace already at WJXT and the stations FCC permits can be found at [1]. --50.234.188.27 (talk) 14:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
