Smash

Hi. I'd love to create additional articles on Smash players, but I've really only started following the scene with Ultimate and I'm not sure who else other than MKLeo and Tweek has enough coverage to generate a good article. If you have any suggestions, send them my way.

Also, shameless plug, but I have MKLeo prepped for a good article review and intend to do the same for Tweek eventually. The coverage is tournament heavy because that's what I can get from the sources I've been able to find, and MKLeo's was very every-player-he-ever-fought dense before I rewrote it. Any suggestions you have (either fixing tournament heaviness or otherwise) so I can improve readability would be appreciated. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:23, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

• Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
• Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
• The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
• Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
• Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Multimedios Televisión renaming question

Since I'm seeing a lot more that they're solely branding with the Canal 6 logo (and all their hashtags and on-air mentions barely mention Multimedios any longer, along with the American/Houston feed using the 6 logo), should we consider a move to Canal 6 (Mexico), or wait on this? I'd like to do the page move, but rightfully so, moving a 25-year old branding to their new one needs to be done with caution. Nate • (chatter) 03:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Mrschimpf: Strong oppose here. I'd want to see the account handle change. Worth noting: the Multimedios station in Costa Rica is similarly intensively branding as Canal 8. Raymie (t • c) 03:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Exactly what I thought, that's what I'd be waiting for too (along with a web address change). Thanks for confirming my fears of going too fast. Nate • (chatter) 04:01, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

{{HD Radio}}

RE: Hi Raymie, thank you for the message. The reason I reverted your edit was because in my opinion "also on HD Radio" is more fitting, rather than "HD Radio", with absolutely no definition, or clarification. I also think that "also on HD Radio" fits better because just saying "HD Radio" may indicate that the station broadcasts in all-HD digital, so maybe as of now, with WWFD's experimental all-HD tests, and some other AM's beginning all-HD digital testing, it would maybe be best to have two templates, one for all-HD digital (ex. "only on HD Radio"), and one for Analog/HD stations, I hope that we can work out an agreement as to what works best, as Wikipedia has very strict rules about clarification and such.

I see you are the recipient of a notification resulting from my first ever moving of a prep set into the queue! :)

With regard to your recent post on the DYK discussion page, I think you may have misinterpreted Valereee's reply. At the moment we have a surge in DYK nominations, presumably because the Covid-19 situation has impacted people's lives and therefore their editing habits. I think she was implying that you might like to give this particular hook a miss, and you may have taken this to imply she didn't want TV hooks nominated in general. In fact, DYK is an amalgam of all the different interests of a host of editors, and DYK is there to represent them all, whatever their niche interest. So keep on nominating TV hooks, or whatever else you feel like working on. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:22, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm with you, Cwmhiraeth! Even though I'm normally doing a high DYK volume...if this year continues I will have more DYKs in 2020 than any other year (KMEC-TV was my 50th page on DYK since January 1).

Thanks for the message. I don't agree with the change, though. With "Networks in Mexico" you will have to include all the networks that can be watched in Mexico, which would include most of the American networks, especially those that have stations within Mexico under the authority of the IFT. It should be "Networks of Mexico", that way, even if XHAS-TDT broadcasts Telemundo and LATV or XHRIO-TDT, the CW, no one would think that those networks are of Mexican origin because of the category.--MexTDT (talk) 22:59, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

What you've done fills in quite a lot of gaps. JTRH (talk) 11:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

@JTRH: I did WISE-TV/WANC-TV as a separate article from WHNS (believe it or not, it's one license history, but it was dark so long and came back in such different form that I opted for a split). One thing that is evident is that nobody cared for a long time! In 1962, the Citizen stopped listing anything other than "Network Programs" for WISE-TV, and listings disappeared for the station altogether two years later. There is basically no info on programming between dropping the NBC affiliation and about 1974 when it apparently became a limited-time satellite of WGGS. If you want to know what WANC-TV was airing in 1970-71 or so, you need to get a time machine. The studios they used in the 70s no longer exist: the land was sold for residential development as "The Thoms Estate". Thanks for the kind words. Raymie (t • c) 16:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I grew up in South Carolina, just over the line from Charlotte. We could get WLOS as clearly as a local station, and yet I'd never heard of WISE/WANC until recently. I'm looking at a Cablevision ad in the Citizen of July 14, 1971, which indicates that it shared a channel on the cable system with Knoxville-area PBS station WSJK. The ad lists it as an NBC affiliate. It apparently got bumped from a full-time cable slot in favor of WKPT Kingsport. That's the only mention of it that I can find - the Citizen TV listings of that era mention that it's on the cable system, but there's no schedule information, and it doesn't seem to have ever appeared in the Carolina-Tennessee Edition of TV Guide. That's really strange. JTRH (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

@JTRH: The WANC-TV signal didn't even reach Greenville or Spartanburg. All indications were that when the cable came to Asheville, on behalf of the same company, WISE-TV dropped NBC, but annuals lagged for years in obtaining updated information (which makes sense given what we know). Weird to see that ad. They reorganized their lineup the next year...no NBC seen. This one makes no mention of WANC but I think it is saying that it began its WGGS hookup on September 30, 1973. Raymie (t • c) 19:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

[1] This is January 21, 1973, but it's unclear whether it was a WGGS hookup or a stand-alone. JTRH (talk) 20:27, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

@JTRH: No doubt...very nice catch! Look at [2] and p68 middle column. Plus, it's 242-1616. Raymie (t • c) 20:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Recession 2000s

Hi Raymie. You're proposed move to Early 2000s Recession has been closed but I'm on board with moving it to Recession of 2000-2001 to distinguish it from the great recession of 2008, as you suggested.

Let me know what you think, or just go ahead. Mark^Dask 07:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Markdask: I've moved it back to Early 2000s recession to match the article content. You're more than welcome to start your own RM on the various recession pages. Raymie (t • c) 07:37, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
• The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
• Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Sociedad Gestora de Televisión Net TV

Hi Raymie, I'm worried about the article Sociedad Gestora de Televisión Net TV, whose hook I have just moved into Queue 5. The hook devolves around the Spanish Government preventing a deal with Viacom. The article states "However, in 2017, the Spanish government denied the proposed transaction for reciprocity reasons, since it determined that a Spanish company could not own 25 percent of a media outlet in the United States, where Viacom is based." The source for this is in Spanish and difficult to check via Google Translate, but common sense suggests that it is the wrong way round, and the Spanish government wanted to block a 25% stake in the company passing into foreign ownership. Please check. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:51, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: As weird as it sounds, this is a reciprocity case. Many countries won't let a person from another country own more of a regulated asset than a person of that country could own in theirs. For instance, if a French corporation can own 40% of an asset in a given industry in the United States, then France will let an American corporation own up to 40% of a comparable asset in France. The Spanish government said that because a Spanish media company could not own 25 percent of a US television station, it would not allow Viacom, an American media company, to own 25 percent of SGT Net TV. (What's weird is they did this...even though US foreign ownership is permitted at that level, and more with a waiver and federal approval!) Raymie (t • c) 06:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the explanation. All is well then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Radio Station Infobox Revamp

Radio Station Infobox

Apparently, "repeaters" is not a recognized parameter for the radio station infobox; do you know how to add that to the template? I noticed that you tried to add the repeater for CFLO-FM. user:Rudy2alan (talk)

I needed to update {{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|function}} to recognize it, which is why it got thrown in the cat. The template will now be able to take translator or translators, repeater or repeaters. Raymie (t • c) 15:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
