[edit] KAMR

Good evening! I read your comment on my LJ about the article for KAMR.

I understand your concern (and it's not the first time this has come up in general)... but this isn't simply a decision I or you or the folks at the station can make. The consensus of people in the Wikipedia Television Station Project believe that staff lists are not allowed, because it falls in the category of ListCruft, and is non-encyclopedic. That's the broad term for making lists for the sake of making lists, and it can get out of hand quickly. (One station that I remember recently even had the janitorial staff listed.)

There's some disagreement about whether or not on-air staff should be listed (because of the notability in their locality), but for the most part, off-air staff has been removed from the vast majority of articles about local TV stations. Remember, these articles are not designed to be advertisements for the station, and truthfully, the staff deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't brings up Conflict of Interest issues.

Please, feel free to bring the discussion up with others, but for now, I would say that they need to be removed. I'm leaving them there for the time being, and will discuss it with an admin... but for now, I wouldn't guarantee that they'll stay. Amnewsboy 03:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jennifer,
Since you work for the station, it may be somewhat of a conflict of interest for you to edit the article. However, Wikipedia welcomes all contributions which maintain a neutral point of view; as long as that is maintained, there is no real problem with you contributing to this article.
The problem with including all staff, both on-air personalities and off-air employees, is that, as Amnewsboy rightly states above, is that these lists often devolve into huge affairs. An encyclopedia article should be concise without unnecessary detail: on-air personalities may be notable in their local markets, but off-air staff usually fail Wikipedia's requirement for notability. You are free to discuss these issues at the relevant WikiProject, but for now, the consensus has been to keep these lists as short as possible. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 04:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Jennifer...
I've removed that section from the article for the reasons discussed above. If you have questions with the edit, please leave a message on my talk page. Amnewsboy 13:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Polkstreet.jpg

I just notice you uploaded and placed an image of Amarillo's "night life" in its "downtown." Could you provide a better picture considering I can definitely see a person slammed his/her face on a rail. I thought it could be a table but I can see sandals on the object. --Souphanousinphone 13:15, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
