Talk:92FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gee this is a bit of a funny page to find here. It's good, but clearly it's been written by somebody involved with the project, and probably seems to advertise too much, and certainly contains more information than I'd think people would care for. Tilgrieog 14:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

In fact on second reading this page cannot stay this way. The words, "for more information contact us etc..." aren't allowed on Wikipedia. Someone should fix it. Tilgrieog 10:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. Edge Radio and Ultra 106five both have pages on Wikipedia. I think the page is a good source of information for anyone wanting to find out information about community radio in Hobart.

--- I'm sorry, you're still wrong. Edge and Ultra demonstrate tasteful ways of giving a short, unbiased few words for the ages to judge them on Wikipedia. A community radio station article should briefly contain the details of where they broadcast, history of the organisation, perhaps a bit about the format and music style. There's nothing on the McDonald's page about the structure of the management of that company, so would anybody the world care how the management structure of this station works?

Although I'm glad someone took a few advertisements out. Tilgrieog.

--- Tilgrieog – I’m sorry to say that you are wrong. This article has been tagged a Stub. For those unfamiliar with what a Stub is: “Stubs are Wikipedia entries that have not received substantial attention from the editors of Wikipedia, and do not yet contain sufficient information on their subject matter. In other words, they are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase Wikipedia's usefulness.” More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub

I believe it is most important for articles to contain as much information as possible. A quick check of the Edge radio page for example reveals a brief description. In my opinion, it does not provide as much useful information as it could.

I for one find the information regarding the structure of the management quite interesting. As I have been involved with a community radio station in the past, I know that the way this station reportedly operates is a little different to the station I was involved with. I’m sure Edge radio probably operates differently as well.

My main argument is that just because you may find the information irrelevant, doesn’t mean someone else will.

The one thing I find interesting is the link for individual programmes. I think there is no need for it, and infact I have since learnt that one particular announcer removed a link to his programme after he discovered it was listed. I think maybe a link to the official website is more than enough.
