Fair use rationale for Image:WXTV.PNG
[edit]Image:WXTV.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
[edit]Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
- WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
- As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
- WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
- Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 17:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit]WXTV-DT is owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision alongside Newark-licensed UniMás outlet WFUT-DT (channel 68) and Smithtown, New York–licensed True Crime Network affiliate WFTY-DT (channel 67)
I'd consider putting a comma right after "TelevisaUnivision", I think it would be just a nice break there. Won't fail because of that I just think it'd read better.focused on filmed programs from Mexico and Puerto Rico at the outset, though it aired local news.
change though to although, or change tothough it would still air local news.
The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 40.
Don't think this should need a source, since anyone reading the preceding sentence will know.
These are pretty trivial, solid pass X-750 List of articles that I have screwed over 08:23, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

- @Sammi Brie and Epicgenius: would I be correct in saying that the Port Authority's hemming and hawing, preventing WXTV-DT to the World Trade Center, saved the transmitter from being destroyed with every other station? If so, I think that'd make a much hookier hook: theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:29, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- ALT3: ... that one New Jersey TV station was not affected by the collapse of the World Trade Center, as the Port Authority repeatedly spurned requests to move the transmitter there?
- ALT3a: ... that the Port Authority prevented one New Jersey TV station from being taken offline by the collapse of the World Trade Center?
- @Theleekycauldron: No. Looks like WXTV moved back in 1992 based on an application filed in 1989 and approved in 1990. This has been added. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:16, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
