-TV/DT

Why did you change all the articles about Nashville TV stations to eliminate -TV/DT? Those ARE the official call letters for each, are they not? --Zpb52 07:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't matter. Any station that broadcasts using the same call letters on both TV band and DT band MUST carry the -TV or -DT suffix. In the interim (that is, until analog TV is phased out and DT becomes the standard), stations carry both suffixes in the -TV/DT format. It is similar to the rule about FM or TV stations that use the same call letters as AM stations. Take WSB in Atlanta, for example. AM is the default band, so there is no such thing as an -AM suffix. However, channel 2 must carry the WSB-TV suffix and 98.5 must carry the -FM suffix in addition to the WSB call letters. When you go to the FCC's website, as you instructed me to do, it gives you information on all stations carrying those call letters, whether they be TV or DT. Because the same call letters are being used on both TV and DT bands, the suffixes must be added until one or the other goes away. --Zpb52 08:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Sigh...you're wrong. --Zpb52 06:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought I'd weigh in on this topic. There are alot of U.S. TV stations that are licenced with a callsign ending with -TV, some with -LP, and some with -CA. Most are just the call lettters with no postfix. However there are currently only 9, yes nine, stations licenced by the FCC with a callsign ending with -DT. There are currently more stations with -DR callsigns (17) then that. I got these numbers by doing an FCC database search by state, for each state, and searched the results for the string '-D'. This gave me hits for both -DT and -DR stations. If all stations have call letters with -TV or -DT at the end, why are they not listed as such in the FCC database? Please show me a rule or law from an official government site stating what you claim. —A 09:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh forgot to include this, I have compiled the list of all stations that have a callsign ending in either -DT or -DR. If anyone finds anymore please add them to a list. If it ever gets over 20 or so stations I'll move it to a non-user page. User:А/-DT Television stations —A 09:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing. Article names are to be the fcc assigned call letters of the station the article is about with very few exceptions. As I say in the template I use for renaming station articles: "Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station." If anyone doesn't like this, it should be discussed at one of those locations. As per the content of the page, I usualy only change the call letters in an infobox and leave the text how it is. However, I always remove the -DT unless the station is one of the sacred 9. Using this moniker with a callsign is just a marketing tool and not factual. This is an encyclopedia, so unless you are talking about how "this station uses the -DT at the end of their call sign even though it is not their call sign" or something along those lines, we should leave it off wikipedia. —A 09:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WXOW moved to WXOW-TV

I deleted the redirect and moved the article. Let me know if that isn't what you intended ;-) --TimPope 11:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

Boothy, thanks for seprataing fact from "so called fact" when it comes to the history of Philadelphia city and county. I guess that one user (he/she will go nameless) is so obsessed about deleting facts and edits based on what he/she see's fit. I know we had this discussion in talk:Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, but it seems like the user wants to ignore the talk page discussion. Thanks for the support and KEEP FIGHTING!! :) --Moreau36; 2133, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Huh?

You're wrong on this issue. Don't you have a life? You're an idiot and a tool. I hope they ban you from wikipedia.South Philly 01:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow seems like a sock to me, cant you at least man and register or use your own user account to, "insult" me. And if you are questioning my life, what does it speak about you being here making a comment. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of pages

I've protected 3 of the Philadelphia pages Evrik and you have been reverting for most of last month. I deliberately did not add protection tags to the pages because I do not want to see two productive editors actively monitor those pages only to revert each other. I will periodically lift the protection so that others can edit the page, but if the reversions continue without some significant dialog, I will be inclined to issue reciprocal blocks. The reversions have gone on long enough, and it is time that both of you initiate some generosity and graciousness towards the other party. --HappyCamper 06:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boothy, I just wrote this to Evrik, and I think it would apply to you as well. In the past month, have you tried to approach Evrik about those articles, either on his talk page, or on the article/category talk pages? It is clear that commenting in the edit summary during your reversions does not suffice to end the edit dispute between the two of you. I'm quite aware that at the moment, you and Evrik have no inclination to communicate with each other - but if you intend to revert those pages, it would not be an unreasonable request to make yourself approachable to others. --HappyCamper 04:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia lists Philadelphia as a consolidated city-county. Any article that doesn't belong directly in the Philadelphia Category and is related to the County, probably belongs elsewhere (like Philaelphia History Category).evrik 06:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know what your thoughts are then: what would help end the dispute? In the current situation, I am a neutral party between you and Evrik. If I participate on your RfAr, I may not be - I haven't looked at any of the material related to your RfAr yet. If I do this, I will have to step away from monitoring those 3 pages. Would this help resolve the dispute? --HappyCamper 05:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*I disagree with your interpretation of the Philadelphia Categroies, and am not happy with your personal style. That being said, I don't want to drag this dispute any farther and am offering an olive branch.evrik 19:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

deprecated {{fn}}

I tested my changes to {{fn}} and {{fnb}} before I made them. How did they break? You can see at this test page that they seem to work... ··gracefool |☺ 07:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lancaster PA infobox

Nice job. (Sorry, I tried to figure out a reason to want to ban you, but I couldn't come up with anything.) ClairSamoht 02:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Altoona, PA

You recently added an infobox to the Altoona page, including a map showing its location in the state. However the location shown is that of Easton, PA (in Northampton County), not Altoona. Altoona is located in Blair County, which is in western PA, closer to Johnstown. I'd fix this myself if I knew how to, but am ignorant in the ways of manipulating PNG files, so I'll leave it up to you. Sixtus LXVI 20:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a request on this user's talk page asking them to stop improperly renaming TV station articles. Please let me know if they contine.—A 05:52, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Saint Oliver Plunkett.jpg

Hi Boothy443, I noticed the nice image you have uploaded for Oliver Plunkett. I would like to use it for the corresponding article in the German language edition of the Wikipedia. Unfortunately, however, this image has not been uploaded to the Commons yet and I cannot do this myself as its copyright status remains unclear. Currently, it is just tagged public domain without giving a detailed qualification (because of its age, for example). I would appreciate a more detailed copyright status information or an upload to the Commons. In this context it would be helpful to note the name of the artist, the time when it was drawn (if known), and a reference from where it has been taken. Thanks for your help and kind regards, AFBorchert 17:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PATCO line template

This is in regard to the PATCO line template that you made on June 10, 2005. I have recently begun to create articles for the PATCO stations and would like to add the template but is terribly confusing to figure out. If you would be so kind, could you help me understand this template or if not, add it to Franklin Square (PATCO station)? Thank you in advance. American Patriot 1776 21:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to add an optional small text line below the station name because if that were so, then you could put for example:

To: Lindenwold City Hall Franklin Square (abandoned)

Thanks for your help though with figuring it out! American Patriot 1776 22:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I'm having trouble getting the template to work. This is what happens Template:Start PATCO box Template:PATCO line |} I don't know if I'm just leaving stuff out or what but if you could help it pould be greatly appreciated! And sorry if I'm being a pain with all this! American Patriot 1776 22:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
