[edit] Re First Choice (pay-tv)
Thanks for your contributions in this article. I'd just like to point out that on Wikipedia, normally we treat TV channels that have used different brand names as a single channel (and discuss them in a single article). See, for instance, TVtropolis and MTV Canada, which were both rebranded / reprogrammed recently. I don't have time at the moment but I will probably be merging in the content into The Movie Network in the near future - alternatively, you can do so yourself if you wish. Any questions about this, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again! — stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 23:47, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, no problem. I merged it tonight. Feel free to edit it further. What do I do with the First Choice (pay-tv) artice now? --Jimj wpg 03:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Taken care of it - I've changed it to a redirect. — stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 18:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Superchannel-paytv.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Superchannel-paytv.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:12, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] C Channel
The first paragraph in the C Channel article, under the Hours section indicated the broadcast week was divided 40% + 40% + 30% which adds to up 110% - could those numbers be rechecked? Meanwhile, thanks for the major content contributions to the C Channel article. Dl2000 14:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Manitoba Telecom Services
I see you imported text from winnipedia. Unfortunately, winnipedia doesn't list its content distribution license. (Wikipedia expressly uses the GNU Free Documentation License. If you can't get permission to reproduce from winnipedia, your edits will need to be reverted (i.e., copyvio).
In addition, there are a number of broken image links. If you upload these to Wikipedia, you'll need to get permission or show a permissive license. -- Robocoder (talk | contribs) 19:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

- Excuse me, but I wrote most of the text about Manitoba Telecom Services on the Winnipedia site. The Winnipedia site, administered by Alex Reid was just started in February 2006. He has still to add some elements to the site, such as image use copyright tags, etc... I hereby release all text written by myself from Winnipedia re: Manitoba Telecom Services to Wikipedia. There I said it. -- Jimj wpg 20:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to cleanup the article as there's now some duplication and style inconsistency. I'll comment out the image tags until you can resolve them. -- Robocoder (talk | contribs) 22:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CHMI history
Although at some point in time that Videon had MTN on channel 8, and GWC/Shaw had MTN on channel 13 before 1995, I am almost certain that prior to 1995 this was not always the case. I do not know too much information as to the placements of MTN on Videon or GWC in its early years, and if you can clear that up, that would be appreciated. Thanks. --PsychoJason 23:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Northpine.com
I will be considering contributing to their website in the future, but since you have an archive of old videos as well, maybe you can contribute some TV screengrabs to Northpine.com. I would recommend using VLC Media Player, as that program allows you to take snapshots. Just suggesting... --PsychoJason 23:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image tagging for Image:Naplps1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Naplps1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Image:Pamelawallin-canadaam.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pamelawallin-canadaam.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 03:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cablecasting Limited
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Cablecasting Limited, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Categories
Hi...just wanted to let you know, when you write up a personality such as Garth Dawley or John Warren, could you please type the category links as [[Category:Canadian Broadcasting Corporation personalities|Last Name, First Name]] rather than just [[Category:Canadian Broadcasting Corporation personalities]]? The category page doesn't alphabetize the articles correctly unless we do this. Thanks. Bearcat 06:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for letting me know how to fix the category listing for these two people. I was wondering how to do it, and noticed they weren't sorted in the correct order. -- Jimj wpg 07:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Cbwft1964-logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Cbwft1964-logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shyam (T/C) 06:52, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cbwft1964-logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cbwft1964-logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] winnepedia.ca
Hi, I notice you've been posting articles copied from winnepedia.ca. Please note that while Wikipedia makes its content available pursuant to the GFDL, many other Wikis. I tried to find licensing information on the winnepedia.ca website, but I could not. If you can find it, please bring it to my attention. Otherwise, please stop copying articles from that source, as it is most likely a copyright violation. Thank you. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
