Question

What about blanking a userpage?? I'm guessing a blank userpage is okay to have. Mine has been blank for about a week or 2. (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC))

I would think a blank user page is fine... Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:59, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Al Jazeera America / Reason I did that

The reason I did that in the interest of Fairness. I constructed most of that page and the Al Jazeera Pages have been unfairly targeted in the past when other pages have not been affected. Such is the world of United States cable news where there favorites and enemies on every side, It is a sensitive situation. I apologize for resisting at every turn but that is the reason.

NOTE: I also believe that the rules surrounding things like correspondents and on air personnel should be changed. The newer channels do not have the bigger names like the older ones and deleting names that do not have pages yet (I'm working on that) gives an appearance of things being different than they actually are. If they are hosting they are notable for at least that. Also if they are the main feature of a program such as News (Al Jazeera America) it does not make sense to get rid of them as it then does not give an accurate picture of the program (Mo2010 (talk) 9:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC))

I understand that, but I think it needs to be discussed after you revert it on the talk page; the edit summary is fine, but I don't want to edit war. If I have to, then I'll write on the talk pages before I start removing the information. It should be clear by now that I and others are working on removing the names if they don't meet guidelines. So instead of reverting, wait until 1) they have an article 2) just leave them off of the page.

As for your note, make sure those people are notable per WP:BLP. If they aren't notable, they might get put up for deletion. They have to have reliable sources and third-party sources, not just primary. And I'm going to say something I've mentioned before, "Why do I, or others, care who the correspondents or anchors are for the program, especially if they haven't done anything notable?" They need to have a reason as to why they are notable.. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 15:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Image deletion

Please stop sending me image deletion notices every time you add an image that is exactly the same as the ones I have uploaded. I don't care! Honestly I don't see why you are doing it at all. But I really don't care about the notices about them being deleted so please stop posting them on my talk page, I just delete them. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 19:54, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

@Bsuorangecrush: I'm doing it because transparent, better quality versions look better than blurry .jpg versions. As for the notifications, sorry. I have it so it notifies the sender when it gets nominated. I'll try and remember to not to have it notify you when it is your files. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 20:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

MOS:BOLDTITLE

Format of the first sentence

"If the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the opening sentence, the wording should not be distorted in an effort to include it:" MOS:BOLDTITLE I realize for some reason Wikipedia does not honor official branding but since the full name of the school is listed at the end of the first sentence, repeating the distorted (illegal in Louisiana) hyphenated version is not "easily and naturally" as required. Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmatics (talk • contribs) 20:56, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

@Rmatics: Then you need to talk about it on the talk page and have a discussion, where other users can come to a census about it. I'm well aware of what BOLDTITLE says, I've read it before. In the future, you might want to state the article you are talking about. Luckily, I knew which one you were talking about. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 21:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

CBS Evening News "Western Edition" Edit

I have a couple of questions regarding your recent edit of the "CBS Evening News" Wikipedia page.

1) Is there a reason as to why the airing times of this program were completely removed?

2) In regards to the following sentence:

"For viewers in the Pacific Time Zone, CBS broadcasts a separate "Western Edition" live, an hour after the main broadcast, in Pacific Time which is tape delayed to viewers in Alaska & Hawaii."

If the East coast edition airs live at 6:30pm ET and a separate "Western" edition airs live at 6:30pm PT (which would be 9:30pm ET), how can you state that the Western edition airs one hour after the East coast airing? Should that sentence actually say "three hours after the main broadcast"? Unless.....the Western Edition is NOT live but actually pre-recorded at 7:30pm ET?

Could you please clarify this? JKSAW (talk) 16:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I removed them because Wikipedia is not a TV Guide. I didn't really think it through on how it read, I just removed the times. The newscast is tape-delayed and airs 5:30 p.m. Pacific, so it would be the three hour difference. I realize the mistake, and have reverted my edits.

WJW (TV) Alumni change

Hello. Listen, why did you take off Jeff Maynor and Jim Hale? They were anchors on City Camera News/Newscenter 8 during the 1976-77 season (and after Storer purchased the station). There are the videos on YouTube under "WJKW" as proof. Mahjong705 (talk) 21:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

@Mahjong705: Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Mayor and Hale didn't meet the Wikipedia notability requirement (no wiki article, no reliable sources, etc). WP:WikiProject Television Stations members basically said that if the person doesn't have a Wikipedia article, they aren't notable. As for the YouTube sources, they are not reliable. See here, here, and here for previous discussions about this. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 17:59, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: So what you're saying is, without actual sources from making long, intensive searches throughout the internet, Maynor and Hale simply don't exist? Do you know how long that's gonna take? Mahjong705 (talk) 03:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

@Mahjong705: I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying that they aren't notable enough to be on Wikipedia per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Why should I, or anyone else for that matter, care about who Maynor and Hale are? They may be notable in Cleveland, but here in Kansas or any other state, no one cares. Unless they have done something to make them notable, they don't belong here. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 18:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: Okay, okay! I got it. I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I didn't realize that it was a big deal. Sorry. Mahjong705 (talk) 13:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

User needs to be blocked

User:24.249.251.212 needs to be blocked for continuing to change all of the Louisiana-Lafayette's to Louisiana and ULL's to UL. I'm trying to get all of it reverted. Thank you! Treydavis3 (talk) 04:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

@Treydavis3: Report the IP to the Administrators' noticeboard if you believe they should blocked. Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 05:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

They are mentioning this as well at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football#IP just made literally hundreds of questionable edits. Your input may be helpful there as well (but not to contribute to blocking). UCO2009bluejay (talk) 05:30, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Abilene Christian Wildcats logo

I'm not sure who the comment dated November 10, 2014 on the 2014–15 Abilene Christian Wildcats women's basketball team Wiki page advising to check for a logo prior to creating one was directed at, but since my username is the predominant one on the page, I am assuming it was directed at me.

If the intent was to direct the comment to me, I can assure you that it is misdirected. The original logo with the misspelling for Abilene was already on an existing Abilene Christian Wikipedia page when I created the new seasonal page. Anyway thanks for the logo update. Same with some of the other logos files you have changed on other pages. I don't have the tools to create one and only try to pick ones that have already been determined as acceptable for use or are at least currently in use without comment. I'm always appreciative of someone who can improve the page.LUSportsFan (talk) 17:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

@LUSportsFan: I believe I was talking towards the uploader of the file, but I don't believe I was speaking towards you. When I made the edit, I didn't even check the history of the page to see who all had edited the page. I've dealt with Abilene Christian articles before regarding the logo. Sorry if you took it that I was talking towards you, but I really wasn't. Besides, don't you know you shouldn't assume? ;) Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 18:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Recent Radio 4 edits

Dear Corkythehornetfan I thought I'd message you on your on Talk page as per the guidelines. I received a message stating that my "edits appear to be disruptive" and a note from you saying "please quit adding them; if not, you may be blocked" Please can I confirm that it was not my intention to cause conflict in this matter. I thought I was doing the right thing by re-adding them ('re-adding' being the key word; I wasn't adding them from scratch as the names were already there and have been for a substantial amount of time) but you've suggested otherwise. Let me assure you that I have taken your advice on-board from the 'Talk' section of the R4 page and shall no longer re-add any of the names without any 3rd party sources. However, I don't appreciate the implication that I went out my way to be disruptive as that certainly wasn't the case; I'm sure there are plenty of users on here who go out their way to abuse page content, but that certainly doesn't line up with what I was doing. I ask you, please, to appreciate the fact that my edits held no bad intentions.
