There is another project with similar goals to this one, WikiProject Television Stations. They might be merged at some point... —User:Mulad (talk) 17:41, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

I have joined this project with the aim of focussing on radio station articles. As there is no existing project for radio, I suggest that the project be renamed to "WikiProject Radio Stations". This project could then become a related project of WikiProject Television Stations, with co-operation between both projects where required. Any thoughts on this? --Marknew 13:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, since you and I now constitute a majority of the named participants on this project, I say we go ahead with that. We might also want to archive this talk page, and possibly the current project page itself, on subpages. -- SwissCelt 01:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Agree: I will move the project now. In addition, I will move the infobox discussion currently on Template_talk:Infobox Radio station and Template_talk:Infobox Radio station/temp to a subpage of the project. --Marknew 09:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Station-stub is deprecated

Though {{Station-stub}} still exists, it is a redirect to {{Broadcasting-stub}}. Three subcategories have been spun out from the Category:Broadcasting stubs: Category:United States broadcasting stubs, Category:United Kingdom broadcasting stubs and Category:Canada broadcasting stubs.

Contact info?

I'm not sure if theres a better WP to ask this.... How much contact info should be provided in an encyclopedic article on a radio station? It's accepted to add a link to the station's web page... are e.g. contact numbers, request lines, IM/email addresses, and/or mailing addresses also acceptable article content? I'm leaning towards no, personally. Keith D. Tyler ¶ [AMA] June 30, 2005 21:56 (UTC)

I'm not an official member of this project, but having made some effort in the past to update List of radio stations in Texas, I'd say that since the website usually contains this info, just link to the website. - dcljr (talk) 1 July 2005 06:03 (UTC)

Yeah, a website link is enough. Studio street addresses might be interesting for some folks, I suppose, but I wouldn't go much farther than that. A request line could be useful/interesting, though I'd probably only ever add one if the number was particularly creative (represents/spells out something unique) or something... —Mulad (talk) July 2, 2005 04:51 (UTC)
