"Crazy like a FOX"

This isn't a channel slogan per se; it's the tagline for their promos for their syndicated sitcoms (Simpsons, Malcolm, Seinfeld). So no, it's not the slogan, but that's where the previous editor got it. Lambertman 17:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shows formerly shown in FOX59

They used to show Star Trek: The Next Gerneration after the weekday evening (10:00) news. They used to show reruns of Married... With Children. They also used to show Murphy Brown.205.188.116.139 00:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few changes

Tracy Forner is now an anchor at sister station WXMI and Kyla Williamson is no longer at the Indy Fox affiliate. [1]

More changes

As of September 8, 2008, WXIN launched an 11AM newscast. As a result, I have alphabetized the news team and removed the "Fox 59 Morning News" and "Fox 59 News at 10" sections. WXIN joins Evansville's WTVW as far as Fox affiliates to air a midday newscast. Aeverine Frathleen Nieves 21:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

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) 21:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
