[edit] False Information Warning

Please do not add false information to Wikipedia pages as you have done with WFRB and other pages. This is considered vandalism under Wikipedia rules and can be punishable by suspension of editing privileges or being banned from Wikipedia altogether. This is a one-time gesture since you are new and we all have to learn the rules. Next time, though, a Warn2 warning will be placed here. Thank you. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell | Toil)} 00:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Although most information on the WTBO Wikipedia page as created by the editor appears factual, the management of WTBO was not consulted or interviewed prior to the page's posting. WTBO management also feels that the mention of the death of our morning announcer on the air, although factual, is insensitive, as this man was known for years for his contributions to the community but on the Wikipedia page he is portrayed as best known for how he died. The management of WTBO takes issue with this and kindly requests the editor to reconsider the description of the event. The editor is also welcome to contact us for further information that may lead to an informed and accurate depection of WTBO on Wikipedia.- GO 106 10:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I was the editor who posted that. I posted directly after writing about him, very carefully, on my website SVRTV.net. With Wikipedia, you have to be neutual in your posts, hence just stating the facts and moving on. No offense was meant in the way it was posted. I posted it the same way on SVRTV.net (as did my fellow website DCRTV.com) and local TV station WHAG-TV said it virtually the same way. If you can find another way to say the same information and it be sensitive, please let me know. - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell | Toil)} 16:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at the December 26th, 2006 entry on the WTBO wiki page. I rewrote it as a quick entry and then added a full entry on Mr. Offutt below it. That entry (minus a couple lines) is as it is written on my site SVRTV.net. The lines taken out were about the WTBO/WFRB-AM website showing his picture and nothing more after his passing...also I removed about the times of his viewing and left that he was laid to rest at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Cumberland (I hope that is right). - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell | Toil)} 17:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
