• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions

You're correct that the station is not own by ABC/Disney, I changed the logo copyrights for stations that have the Circle-7 or ABC logos on their logo which are ABC/Disney Copyrights

You have received this message because you have edited a Salt Lake City media article in the past. We have recently had an edit war regarding the wording and inclusion of a paragraph on the KTVX article. In hopes of resolving this I have put together an informal survey. If you are interested, please stop by Talk:KTVX and add a vote. Thanks, A 09:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC) reply

Howdy, Oddtodd! Just wanted to say hello because I am currently considering making a move out to Albuquerque...I have found that a great way to get to know people is to contact Wikipedians in a given area, so if you would like to talk about New Mexico, or Wikipedia, or whatever, let me know.

Your job sounds interesting...I myself have been trying to start out with Wikinews and perhaps upload some video of newsworthy events. If you ever would like to collaborate on something along those lines, I would be thrilled to finally do it.

Perhaps if/when I get to Albuquerque we can hold the first ever WP meetup there! Best, Paul 04:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi there,

You don't mention which station you hail from, but I am an alum of KOB-TV, circa 2001. I'm a nerd at heart, and like you, interested in local TV history.

One of your pages referenced the fact you were looking for more information on KOB, and I didn't know if you were familiar with the book "KOB: Goddard's Magic Mast". It was written in the early 70's by a grad student at NMSU. When I left the Land of Entrapment (pun intented, (c) 2000 Mark Horner, used with permission), the Albuquerque Public Library had only one copy, in the New Mexico Collections library (or something like that). You can't check it out, but you can borrow it to read within the library.

Last I checked, there were a few copies floating around the state. One was at a used bookstore in Las Cruces. At the time they listed it on their website, but didn't sell via phone or internet, and by the time I made it that far out of town, it had been lost. They said it would proabably surface eventually. There was also a copy at the used bookstore that is across the street from the Frontier Restaurant, but they wanted an outrageous amount for it, and they're probably out of business by now anyway.

There were surprisingly few copies floating around KOB itself, and very few people even knew such a book existed. Mike Burgess had a copy in his office, but by the time I realized that, I'd already read it.

Anyhow, the book was less than 100 pages, an easy read sitting at the library. Worth a look if you're interested.

I don't know if this interests you (or anyone), but the KASA studios (upstairs at KOB-TV) are where the old KOB-AM and FM studios were. When they were installing the new set, they tossed tons of cool old-time radio stuff. Enough carts to sink a ship.  :-)

Conroy Chino and the EWN4 Investigative Unit used a large corner of the second floor as their office, until they were displaced by the new studio.

Best of luck at UNM, and with your journalism career.

KUPT-TV in Hobbs has no affiliation with KASY-TV....KUPT in Hobbs is with KMYL-TV in Lubbock. However KASY-TV can be seen in Hobbs on cable channel 13

I didn't put that in, but thank you. -- Oddtoddnm 07:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC) reply

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:KASA logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Louis_Caldera_UNM.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast ( talk) 12:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Entravision Logo.png. 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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article KOCT has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG & WP:BROADCAST, plus no sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
