Rewriting ledes on TV station articlesI think you got a great idea. Let's eschew some "unnecessary detail" on the lead paragraphs of TV station articles, like cable channel positions (WP:NOTTVGUIDE). There are thousands of these articles, so...pinging @Wcquidditch, Mrschimpf, LooneyTraceYT, BlueboyLINY, Mattdp, Tvstationfan101, ItsRoly4266, GETONERD84, Mlaffs, DizzyMosquitoRadio99, Stereorock, and Dwmmedia:.

It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round. Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, 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 14 days of "earning" them.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:02, 2 September 2021 (UTC) Name changesHey – just wanted to drop by and say you're doing great work on the article moves when there are call sign changes. I'm glad people have taken up the mantle; makes me feel better that I don't have the time to be around here like I was a decade ago. One friendly suggestion, if I could? After you've moved the article, don't forget to repoint all of the incoming links. Between the navboxes and the state/alpha/frequency lists, stuff can get out of date really quickly, and it's particularly a problem given how quickly call signs get reused; it's just not safe relying on the redirects to carry the load. It's even more important for the call sign swaps; I just repointed a whack of stuff from the KASR/KCON swap you handled about a month or so back. Keep up the good work and if I can help in any way – tips, tricks, using the mop to move something out of the way – don't hesitate to ask. Mlaffs (talk) 15:02, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

They recently brought online a new station, and shifted stations around on all of their stations. I live in the local area, and some of the stations duplicate on my receiver. I wrote the chief engineer of Draper Holdings Business Trust and asked for clarification on which channels/subchannels are on each station. I have spent a good bit of my evening editing these stations' articles. Every change I make, Mvcg66b3r insists to reverting to outdated/incorrect information. Information that also was not well presented/sloppy. I have done my best to clarify this information for the average viewer/reader. Mvcq66b3r claims a conflict of interest, I guess because my bios shows that WBOC-TV was the first article I had edited because they were at the time a customer of mine and I saw incorrect information. That was 15 years ago. I have not worked at the company that they were a customer of for over 5 years. I now work for a financial services company and have zero affiliation other than being a casual viewer of their stations that wishes to help out other viewers who are likely confused as to which stations are on which signals these days. (they have changed around many times in the past few years) - Thank you for your time. Bwave
Thanks so much Sammi Brie! The main correction I see (it's late) is that WBOC & Fox 21 have studios in Salisbury, MD. WRDE & Telemundo have studios in Milton, DE - they are not shared, they produce their own newscasts, sometimes airing at the same times. And yes, all 5 stations are active as of June 9, 2021 -> https://www.wboc.com/story/44016465/important-programming-note-for-telemundo-delmarva The transmitter locations need to be verified, as they broadcast from 3 different tower locations I believe. I will research. As far as the programming of the stations, I have an email direct from the stations' head engineer (carbon copied with station manager) of the stations, their channels, their call signs and video formats. I had intended to scan the documents into WikiMedia, but would need to redact personal identifying information, at which point I'm not sure how useful it would be. I can send you the unedited email via a private message at a future time. I wasn't 100% done, but it became an edit war and I was getting frustrated. Thanks again, if you don't mind, I'll send additional information to you at a later time, and let you moderate the changes? Bwave (talk) 05:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC) Oh and one last thing, none of the stations are a direct repeat of another. A couple/few may share some channels, but not a 100% match on channels, and also, some have different video formats 1080i vs. 720p. Bwave (talk) 06:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

But (there is always a but) I would like to respectfully take exception to your removal of my details about the 1970 stock market program. You characterize it as being KTVW-produced and off-the-air by the end of March 1970 (along with the rest of the local programs on KTVW). It was neither. As I wrote, it was produced by Rockwell Hammond, who leased the air time from KTVW. The program was called Business Action Line and aired live weekdays from 7 AM to 9 AM. (I think your start date of 1967 might be a typo. More likely it was 1969.) I walked into the Northern Life Tower studio in June 1970, looking for a job. The place was deserted except for Hammond and Merrill Mael. All of the salesmen were gone. Rocky asked me if I would work for no salary. I said that I would and with that I replaced Dick Stokke who was on sick leave. I sat next to Merrill. I operated the three cameras, the switcher, the audio board and the microwave transmitter back to KTVW. And I read the news. Who needed a salary! By early September 1970 I was out of money and living in Hammond's basement. He was able to pay me $500.00 for the time I was there. When I left in early September they were still on the air. (My name began appearing in TV Guide's Seattle edition during the week that I left. Like I said, who needed a salary!)
