[edit] WKRK Website Schedule

Not bad on the WKRK history,as for the schedule,As I have learned,never trust the website schedule,always ask someone close to the station as I did,because its not updated, hence the famed "To Be Announced" I put on the sunday lineup after the Lions games ended.

They are scheduled to air NFL playoff games,and it has been confirmed by management that begining with the 2007 season WKRK will be co-flagship with WXYT of both the Tigers and Wings. Lugnuts6 17:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

To bad that violates WP:NOR. Sure, they're showing playoff games this weekend -- that's been announced on the radio. But, show me any proof for the Tigers/Wings deal. Nothing's been officially announced that I've come across.

[edit] Radio station titles

Hi, JPG-GR. I've removed your move request for WKFR-FM from the "uncontroversial proposals" section of WP:RM, because looking at the [history of WKFR (FM) I see that it's been moved several times recently, so it doesn't quite qualify as an "uncontroversial" move. I've asked WIKISCRIPPS 07 (talk • contribs), who had moved the page twice in the opposite direction, to join the discussion at WT:RADIO, but if you want you can also file a regular move request at WP:RM#Other proposals and see what a wider audience thinks. Good luck! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response! JPG-GR 08:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Radio station call signs

The statement I gave earlier referenced the clarification note in the call sign section. However, you could see from the radio station wikiproject's structure section that the note and the examples didn't exactly match. Furthermore, after looking at WP:NAME#Broadcasting, I saw that the Radio Station project needed major rewriting. Therefore, I ended up rewriting and reorganizing the entire Radio Station project page. I apologize for the misunderstanding, but the information should now be clearly presented. --PhantomS 20:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Incidentally, it unfortunately appears that, at least from the articles that I've checked in the FCC database, most if not all of those stations will have to be moved back. Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding; however, your query led to an overhaul of the entire radio station project's documentation, which should prevent future mishaps of this type. --PhantomS 05:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

That's what I was afraid of. I don't know when/if I'll get to moving things back -- or if I even have the desire to do so. I'll just keep working on the pages I've been working on, and go from there. Thanks again. JPG-GR 06:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I got all of those stations moved back to their official call signs now. I did have a problem with another user copy/pasting some of those pages without using the "move" tab, but I think I got all those fixed too.RobDe68 19:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Excellent. JPG-GR 20:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BNL Singles

When you edited the BNL singles based on a nav template, you didn't take into account the purpose of the navbox. The navbox isn't there as a chronology list. Songs such as $1000000 were released as singles twice, which is why it appears in 1996 in the chronology listings of some singles, and it had two chrono listings in its own article. There would be no reason for listing it twice in the navbox because it's one article, but it was a single twice. TheHYPO 14:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that IIHAMD had been released twice (since even the article claims it was never released as a single). I did get BW, though. It was more I was sick of seeing A as a single that will, quite frankly, NEVER have an article. JPG-GR 06:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I've updated the pages to include IIHAMD where it belongs. JPG-GR 06:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

A was a single. I have a copy of the single (for which they even made a clean lyric radio edit) in my closet. Unfortunately, I wasn't around back then (as a fan), so I can't speak to the actual proliferation of the song as a single. Million dollars is a major issue. I believe the story is that it was not released as a single, but radio stations got tons of requests for it based on the tape/cd/live shows, and it ended up getting a lot of airplay. I think only THEN did it get released (a radio cd) from the initial Gordon CD. There is definately a commercial disc for it from 92/3 though. It was also released in 97 commercially; but it never had a video, and I believe the band has said that it was "never released as a single", even though there are those factors involved. I think it was an unplanned single that just became one... or some explaination. As I said, it's a weird story that I don't think anyone really knows the entirety of TheHYPO 18:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem; except, the vandal had committed a fourth that was missed for 20 minutes... ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Σφουγγοκωλάριος

It's not nonsense just because you can't read it! You could try {{db-foreign}} or request that it be translated. --Walter Görlitz 19:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I was unfamiliar with the existance of {{db-foreign}}, as I had never had to use it before. On the same hand, this is the English WP, and if it's not in English, one could argue it is nosense. JPG-GR 20:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 96.3 wdvd table

Yes, I agree that the colors may have been unnecessary. Thanks for comprising!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.84.186.6 (talk) 03:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

No problem. Lot easier to compromise and move on to bigger and better things. :) JPG-GR 07:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sault Ste. Marie

I don't personally have much of an opinion as to whether Sault Ste. Marie should be included in the northern Michigan template or its own. The reality is that because of its proximity to Northern Michigan, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario actually has far fewer of its own radio stations than any of the other major cities in Northern Ontario — it even has less than Timmins, which is about half the size of Sault Ste. Marie — and so a SSM/ON-specific template would look pretty sparse and unnecessary even if I expanded it to include Wawa and Elliot Lake. I also don't think it's particularly urgent that the template format has to be consistent from city to city; while I've used the same format for all of the other Northern Ontario cities, the Southern Ontario templates don't necessarily all follow that format.

So (*shrug*) I'm really fine either way. Another option would be for SSM/ON to have its own template, which would include SSM/MI stations on it but not be transcluded onto those stations; the Michigan template, similarly, could still include the Ontario stations but not be placed on those stations' articles — and then the templates could just link to each other. Bearcat 07:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Great minds think alike! :) JPG-GR 07:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

To keep the potential confusion to a minimum, however, would it be possible to move the SSM/MI template to a disambiguated title like "Sault Ste. Marie, MI Radio" or "Upper Peninsula of Michigan Radio" or something to that effect? I'm think going to use "Algoma Radio" (SSM/ON's census division) as the title for the Ontario one. Bearcat 07:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

"Sault Ste. Marie, MI Radio" is probably the best in this case. It looks like the UP will be divided amongst this template and the Marquette template (eventually). JPG-GR 07:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BNL Reply...

My replies could be taken as personal attacks, but they're not. I just don't appreciate putting work into something - when all signs point to the new BNL album having its own page - to have it wiped without even discussing it first. It just displays a lack of civility on TheHYPO's part, not to mention an indication of WP:OWN. Conversely, you have been generous enough to add to and improve the Barenaked Ladies Are Men article, which is what I hoped would happen. So, thanks.

BGC 20:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, now that I realize the moral character of the other editor in question (see the slander he left on my talk page [1]), I'm washing my hands of it. He's convinced that he's got a monopoly on all BNL articles, and I haven't got time, nor the interest, in wasting time with immature and narrow-minded people. Besides, my points were made clear from the onset.

Thanks anyway, BGC 23:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your support even in part (I'm not suggesting that you necessarily agree with me on every issue around) with the BNL article matter. I invite you to support either side of the issue in the talk:Barenaked Ladies Are Me#Creating official page - Honestly, go either way you feel, but I would like your input because you tend to have a fair viewpoint on matters. Thanks :) TheHYPO 05:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

You can always talk to me in any place about any matter; I don't think I've shown otherwise. But you haven't provided any specific issue you wish to discuss. TheHYPO 00:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Of what are you speaking? JPG-GR 00:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC) Now, I've got it. I just put the whole BLAM/BLAMen issue up on WP:RFC. It's recommened to tag relevant editors with the template I used. I've never had a problem interacting with you personally -- just trying to get more people involved in the discussion. *shrug* JPG-GR 01:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I've never seen that template; I assumed the first part was actually you talking. Frankly; I don't care if there's an article for Are Men. It's the mispresenting it by deleting it's connection to Are Me that I take issue with. TheHYPO 18:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Phoenix741/GreenRanger

lol, no there really isn't thanks for the catch I will change it right now. Also since i am talking to someone about the boxes, and since we do have a good amount of people in the catagory. I was thinking about starting a WikiProject, how would you feel about that?Phoenix741 03:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

There's actually a WP for tokusatsu in general at WP:TOKU -- Don't know if PR needs a specific one or not. Thanks again! JPG-GR 03:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, wow never mind then, I feel like an idiot, o well thanks and glad you like my userbox.Phoenix741 03:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: "Market Keys"

Well, I tried to come up with the best possible solution since as you can see they are listed in alphabetical order -- hopefully so they're not too terribly confusing!!! Let's discuss this some more, shall we??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SAT MAR 03 2007 7:12 PM EST

[edit] WKAR

Not a problem. I was actually surprised that WKAR-AM-FM didn't have their own pages, seeing as they were among the first of their kind in the country.

Say, you happen to know when WKAR-FM broke off from WKAR-AM and started running its own programming? I figure it couldn't have been before the 60s, but have found nada, zip, zero on it--you'd think wkar.org would have something on it, but it doesn't. Blueboy96 18:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I haven't come across anything yet, but I'll keep an eye out. JPG-GR 18:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WQBR

It's hard to find info on WQBR (there are at least three dead web pages floating around) and since it's carrier-current only, it's not in the FCC database. But I assure you it's still there, broadcasting weekdays from September to April. RMc 00:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! JPG-GR 00:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dear Guardian of Wikipedia:

Do you get paid to do this stuff? It seems like pointless work to me. Do you have a real job? If not, I salute your valient efforts and selfless dedication to shedding much needed light on such earth-shattering topics such as the list of radio stations in Michigan! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Neversouth (talk • contribs) 17:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Detroit Radio

Hiya! i see you've made a new detroit template. Though Windsor and Detroit are one market with two nations and two audiences...i feel there should be a link to the windsor stations, or at least to the other (Detroit AM, FM, TV) templates. What's your opinion? :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 20:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I felt that the separate Detroit AM and FM templates were not only badly neglected, but also didn't work in the scope of what they were categorized under (i.e. Michigan radio). I'd be all for finding someway to include a link to a template that includes only Windsor stations, but including them directly just doesn't work. It's kinda like having a template featuring "strawberries, apples, and radishes," but then having the overall category be "fruit." I'm no expert on Windsor radio, but if you want to throw together something, I'm all for it. (Alternatively, if I find the time, I could just strip the Canadian stations out of the current Detroit AM & FM templates... or you could) Either way. JPG-GR 05:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks like you solved the problem already. Great! JPG-GR 05:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I was just testing to see if a link to Southern Ontario Radio would work...it seems like it has worked. I'm glad we could find a solution to our template dillemma. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 14:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
