Hello?

[edit]

I'm generally baffled. I went looking for an article describing the late and much, much lamented KEZX-FM Seattle, a groundbreaking station practising a sort of 60s underground FM rock style format but with 80s (as it was then) folk/softrock/jazz content. Finding none, I decided to cobble something together pointing to various quotes available on the net regarding the role KEZX played in getting new local acts onto the air, including recording and selling albums anthologizing the local unrecorded acts they wanted to feature, so they could play their material on the radio, thus launching several musical careers. I hoped that if this got a foothold, it might bring out other folks with more intimate knowledge of the amazing stuff those guys did, who could flesh out the story better. I fired this article off into the void, noting it was put at the end of a line 700 articles long, so I figured I would never hear anything more about it. Then I happened to open a "talk" page on another article today, and see I have "a message waiting". Seeing as I 1) don't remember ever creating an account, nor 2) do I have any indicator of who I am or what machine I'm on, and always have my cookies set for "session only", and as for my IP address, as far as I can tell my ISP assigns me a new one every time my DHCP gets renewed, every other day or so, I am thus deeply baffled as to how this site knows it wants to talk to me; and yet, the message is about the KEZX-FM article.

Furthermore, when I click on the article to see what is there, I find only a redirect to an article about the station frequency licence, under the heading of its current call letters, KLIK or something, with no content whatsoever about the historical KEZX saga, other than a mention of the use of those call letters, and a sort of extremely brief and confused account of the station's ownership and activities through the 1980s. No trace of my article is detectable in the redirected article. So, I'm not at all clear what this page is for, nor what could be done with the current redirect. I rather imagine that the current page is supported by the current owners of the frequency license, and they won't be too keen on seeing a section in their article extolling the virtues of a vastly better station that once occupied their position on the dial... Let me see, there was a previous page before I clicked to start writing this, which said something about typing a bunch of ~s and signing my comments. I can't remember what I wrote as a signature for the article I submitted, but I thought it must have gone something along the lines of 50.92.25.99 (talk) 11:11, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[occasional anonymous proofreader and fact checker] or something like that.[reply]
