I was over in Tampa, Florida today for an interview and did some "drive-by" shots of two stations: WTVT and WFTS-TV. Hopefully they are of decent enough quality. If not, I can always go back and take some more images when I am over there again. The WTVT station is located near my favorite cake shop, ever (period, exclamation point). If you ever go to Tampa, go to Wrights! Also a picture of a dog, because... Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 16:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I figured I'd bring to your attention a call swap involving the two Catholic radio stations on 88.5 FM in southeastern Massachusetts: the call signs of WPMW and WRRS were swapped on August 15. One additional complication is that a "Viking funeral" situation may be in play: the Middleborough Center facility (ex-WRRS, now WPMW) has a construction permit to upgrade its signal that will eventually result in the closure of the Bayview station (ex-WPMW, now WRRS), though no further filings to that conclusion have (yet) been made. I've reworked the text accordingly, but obviously the requisite page moves are a bit more complex here in all possible ways. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:13, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk), and Cwmhiraeth ( talk)
Could you take a look at this edit? I don't believe it was done with malice, I believe the user read the Consent Decree wrong. I re-read it and it appears Liberty University/ WQLU was issued a $10,000 and had the license approved.....at least that's how I'm reading it. A second set (in this case, third) would determine who is correct. Again, I think this is a minor misreading and nothing "bad". - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:20, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that; I wasn't sure if KYUU was previously carrying KBOI newscasts or not in those timeslots, so I have no issue with your removal there. The confusing language of the 'facilities and services agreement' (new to me) really doesn't help either as I don't know whether to call it an SSA or LMA equivalent (the latter's unlikely as Marquee continues to control their ads and RTC negotiations).

my story today |

Thank you today for the article, introduced "When a new Chicago television station backed by local movie house operator Essaness Theatres hit the air in 1970 with little more than a rotating series of news headlines, this probably wasn't the history anyone expected. From being a third-string independent station that aired sports programming, the station became the key of one of the largest subscription TV systems in the United States in 1980. However, the station so totally devoted itself to subscription programming that it left itself very vulnerable to an FCC license challenge that bounced around for a decade and put the station on the brink of being handed to another company. After subscription TV withered away nationally, WSNS became the first full-time Spanish-language TV station in Chicago, first with the Spanish International Network/Univision and later with Telemundo, which acquired it in 1995." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

In connection with recent format changes, the call signs of two commonly-owned AM radio stations in New Castle, Pennsylvania, WKST (AM) and WUZZ (AM), were swapped on October 18. WKST is now on the 1280 AM facility, and WUZZ is on 1200. That's complex enough for our purposes — but this one has the extra quirk that the articles, as presently written, largely follow the "intellectual units" rather than the licenses — which is of relevance here, because this is not the first time the 1200 and 1280 stations have swapped call signs, and WKST was also the pre-1999 call sign for 1280, going all the way back to 1938. This might necessitate a bit more fixing than would normally be done following a call swap… and it does not help that the infobox for the present WUZZ (AM) article makes it seem like there was somehow a 2004 call change from WKST to WJST on 1280 AM (WJST actually replaced WBZY).

Hello Sammi Brie:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
On 2 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article KTNL-TV, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that until 1985, CBS programs on a TV station in Sitka, Alaska, were videotaped in Seattle and aired on a two-week delay?

Sammi, you might want to look at KTNL-TV. It's being edited by someone with a conflict of interest. And with not many sources available, it's hard to prove notability. Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 23:32, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey Sammi, I noticed that the KTNL website has gone down. It's currently just GoDaddy boilerplate. I did some digging and it appears KTNL's information is being absorbed into the website of sister-station KACN/Anchorage. You can see the "Over Air 7.1 Sitka" listed in the "Where to find Me-TV in Alaska?" box. That might also mean a change in logo, but I'll leave that part up to you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

I figured I'd bring to your attention a call swap involving the two Catholic radio stations on 88.5 FM in southeastern Massachusetts: the call signs of WPMW and WRRS were swapped on August 15. One additional complication is that a "Viking funeral" situation may be in play: the Middleborough Center facility (ex-WRRS, now WPMW) has a construction permit to upgrade its signal that will eventually result in the closure of the Bayview station (ex-WPMW, now WRRS), though no further filings to that conclusion have (yet) been made. I've reworked the text accordingly, but obviously the requisite page moves are a bit more complex here in all possible ways. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:13, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk), and Cwmhiraeth ( talk)
Could you take a look at this edit? I don't believe it was done with malice, I believe the user read the Consent Decree wrong. I re-read it and it appears Liberty University/ WQLU was issued a $10,000 and had the license approved.....at least that's how I'm reading it. A second set (in this case, third) would determine who is correct. Again, I think this is a minor misreading and nothing "bad". - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:20, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that; I wasn't sure if KYUU was previously carrying KBOI newscasts or not in those timeslots, so I have no issue with your removal there. The confusing language of the 'facilities and services agreement' (new to me) really doesn't help either as I don't know whether to call it an SSA or LMA equivalent (the latter's unlikely as Marquee continues to control their ads and RTC negotiations).

my story today |
---|
Thank you today for the article, introduced "When a new Chicago television station backed by local movie house operator Essaness Theatres hit the air in 1970 with little more than a rotating series of news headlines, this probably wasn't the history anyone expected. From being a third-string independent station that aired sports programming, the station became the key of one of the largest subscription TV systems in the United States in 1980. However, the station so totally devoted itself to subscription programming that it left itself very vulnerable to an FCC license challenge that bounced around for a decade and put the station on the brink of being handed to another company. After subscription TV withered away nationally, WSNS became the first full-time Spanish-language TV station in Chicago, first with the Spanish International Network/Univision and later with Telemundo, which acquired it in 1995." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

In connection with recent format changes, the call signs of two commonly-owned AM radio stations in New Castle, Pennsylvania, WKST (AM) and WUZZ (AM), were swapped on October 18. WKST is now on the 1280 AM facility, and WUZZ is on 1200. That's complex enough for our purposes — but this one has the extra quirk that the articles, as presently written, largely follow the "intellectual units" rather than the licenses — which is of relevance here, because this is not the first time the 1200 and 1280 stations have swapped call signs, and WKST was also the pre-1999 call sign for 1280, going all the way back to 1938. This might necessitate a bit more fixing than would normally be done following a call swap… and it does not help that the infobox for the present WUZZ (AM) article makes it seem like there was somehow a 2004 call change from WKST to WJST on 1280 AM (WJST actually replaced WBZY).

Hello Sammi Brie:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
On 2 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article KTNL-TV, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that until 1985, CBS programs on a TV station in Sitka, Alaska, were videotaped in Seattle and aired on a two-week delay? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/KTNL-TV. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, KTNL-TV), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Sammi, you might want to look at KTNL-TV. It's being edited by someone with a conflict of interest. And with not many sources available, it's hard to prove notability. Mvcg66b3r ( talk) 23:32, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey Sammi, I noticed that the KTNL website has gone down. It's currently just GoDaddy boilerplate. I did some digging and it appears KTNL's information is being absorbed into the website of sister-station KACN/Anchorage. You can see the "Over Air 7.1 Sitka" listed in the "Where to find Me-TV in Alaska?" box. That might also mean a change in logo, but I'll leave that part up to you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
I also found this video announcing MeTV in Sitka, as well. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work,
BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement! (If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.) Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.
