Orphaned non-free media (Image:Chchnews.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chchnews.gif. 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

URLs

I noticed the conflict in the page history. However, I still believe that displaying the URL in the infobox is not an unreasonable thing to do. The purpose of an infobox is to provide information that may be of use/interest to readers: this included knowing what (in this instance) a TV station's URL is. In this particular example (APTN), it is not the case that the URL is particularly complex or unwieldy, so to my mind it makes more sense to tell people what it is; hiding the link behind the text "APTN" just states the bleedin' obvious, whereas actually displaying the URL provides extra information. (This is a different purpose to what should be in the external links section at the bottom of a page.)

Anyway, it's not a matter of being "incorrect", that's just your interpretation of policy, not a statement of fact. --RFBailey (talk) 03:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people may bookmark a site, others may not, while some people may not always be using the same computer (and thus bookmarking is pointless). Why are you suggesting that we should deprive readers of useful information?

Second, which part of WP:MOS are you referring to? (The sample usage {{Infobox Broadcast}} here suggests that the URL is intended to be shown.) --RFBailey (talk) 03:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how the part of WP:EL you're referring to supports this point of view. I had read Bearcat's remarks in the discussion above, and I do not agree with all of them. Believe it or not, some people (myself included) do (sometimes) use the web by remembering URLs and typing them into the browser: sometimes it's actually quicker to type in an easily-remembered URL rather than hunt through my bookmarks. So I don't think it's "counterintuitive" at all, and it is a "genuine need" (maybe not widespread, but that doesn't stop it being genuine). Secondly, if a URL happens to be particularly ugly or long-winded, then in that situation maybe it is better not to display it. But I don't think that www.aptn.ca, www.cbc.ca, www.bbc.co.uk or www.itv.com happen to be particularly ugly or long-winded, so I do not see how hiding the URLs in the infobox detracts from the readability of the infobox in that case. --RFBailey (talk) 13:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what I'm suggesting provides a link for those who want to click on it, while displaying the URL for those who want to see it. Your version only does one of these two things, so I'm not sure why you think this is better. --RFBailey (talk) 23:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there's anything I can add that you haven't already said, to be honest. If he's not swayed by you quoting my past comments on the subject, I sincerely doubt he'd be swayed at all by anything new I tried to say. Though we could always try taking the conflict between WP:MOS and the infobox guidelines to WP:RFC to see if we can establish a wider consensus one way or the other. Bearcat (talk) 22:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, I was not swayed by your past comments as I explained above: I believe there to be flaws in your argument. (Essentially, you shouldn't assume that everyone uses the internet the same way you do.) The purpose of URLs in infoboxes is not the same as external links sections. Remember that there is the Ignore all rules policy, which seems relevant here. --RFBailey (talk) 03:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dongwong

Oh, I pretty much reached the end of my rope with him weeks ago. Just a suggestion, though: try not to get drawn into a debate with him about what his username is on Channel Canada — although it's fairly clear that you're right and he's lying (TVViewer can actually write a coherent sentence, for one thing), it really doesn't matter since he wouldn't get special policy-override rights on Wikipedia even if he were Pope Benedict. But at any rate, I'll review the situation to see if permanent blocking is an option. The only problem I foresee is that because he already does a big chunk of his editing without logging in first, I don't know if editblocking him would really resolve the problem — he'd probably just keep going as an anonymous IP. Bearcat (talk) 12:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting with a checkuser request. See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dongwong. Bearcat (talk) 21:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Thenewro.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Thenewro.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

SVG Fonts Image:Cftobbs.svg

To answer your question Wikipedia only supports a limited selection of SVG fonts (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_fonts). To correct your file I just opened the file with a text editor and replaced "'TimesNewRomanPSMT'" with "Times".

Alternatively you can convert the text to a path. To do that in Illustrator you select Type then Convert to Outlines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Svgalbertian (talk • contribs) 19:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SVG logos

thanks for making SVG logos of some cable and over-the-air TV stations! the non-DXed logos for MCTV and CJOH-TV (under BBS affiliation) are much easier to see. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 05:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SVG logos

How did you do the text for each of the BBS logos? i would love to know how you did it, so i can fill in the rest of them (CFTO, CKCK, CKNX, CHRO, CHWI, and so on).RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 23:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

why do you think you must edit KGRG (am) facts out of the wiki?

I would really like to know why you would delete parts about the current station (kgrg am) and update parts about the OLD pulse history of the station? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strayworks (talk • contribs) 00:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The endless fiasco

FWIW, I'm pretty sure 99.* is somebody else, too...but based on his edits my suspicion is that he's User:Fat pig73, who does have some very similar editing-behaviour problems to those of our other friend: overreliance on trivia, obsessive need to document every minute detail of whatever catches his attention, etc. The biggest difference between them, in fact, is that Fat pig/99 is even less responsive to talk page feedback, if you can believe that.

BiteTV

Hi, recently you moved the article "Bite TV" to "BiteTV". I'm just writing to let you know that this is not the correct spelling of the channel's name. It is spelled as two words, not one. All material relating to it shows it as spelled as two words not one. If you have any evidence showing it as one word, I'd like to take a look at it, however I have my own as well if you want me to point it out. Until then I will leave the article as is, for now. musimax. (talk) 19:27, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:650cisl.png

A tag has been placed on Image:650cisl.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:650cisl.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Edit warring

Your edits to CFPL-TV are clearly in violation of our policy against edit warring. Please stop immediately, or you are likely to be blocked. I'm afraid that in this case the non-free image policy does prohibit galleries of non-free images. But that is only somewhat relevant - edit warring is prohibited by both sides in a dispute such as this, even if only one side is "right". — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PSIP

Do you have sources for what channels the Canadian television stations are retaining after analog shutoff? Not all stations are necessarily staying on their current DTV channel assignment permanently — once analog transmission disappears and the old analog channels are clear, some stations are actually switching their DTV transmitters back to the original channel number. Bearcat (talk) 19:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, was just wondering if there was a source that actually listed them or not. Bearcat (talk) 20:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:SCN TV.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:SCN TV.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please show me where the link is for TV stations infoboxes

There was discussion about COL-Market in the infobox. It was agreed upon that when the COL is different then the Market that it should be displayed COL-Market Oak999 (talk) 20:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The position that you are stating is the way in fact that I supported but was voted down. Months ago there was a debate about this and the conclusion was that we show the infobox with COL-Market. This is seen in WPWR-TV also in KPNX-TV and WOI-TV. I have since asked for help from other editors on this. I will leave your changes until again a conclusion is made. If I am correct KCPQ will be changed again and I expect it to be left.
