[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kgrg1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kgrg1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:14, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pulse1330.gif

I have tagged Image:Pulse1330.gif as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 11:18, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Desert Vineyard

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Desert Vineyard, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Desert Vineyard is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Desert Vineyard, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] KSRY (then KOSS), KTPI-FM and KVVS page swaps.

I'm going to attempt a bunch of page moves to keep the edit history with the frequencies per wiki radio project guidelines. When a station changes call letters (even if it's a frequency swap) the page should be "moved" to the new call sign. Don't panic if you see some cut and paste and unconventional moves going on, it can be tricky swapping pages but I've managed to do several frequency swaps now. Thanks.RobDe68 (talk) 04:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

  • No problem sir. I just wanted to make you aware in case you stumbled across the pages before I was done moving them. Don't worry about the copy/paste job, frequency swaps are usually complicated. It is best to keep the histories with the respective frequencies, especially in these smaller markets that seem to move formats around all the time. Keep up the good work. RobDe68 (talk) 04:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trimulcast

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Trimulcast, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 04:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About KSRY

Since you removed the (removed "former format is now at KSRY") on the KVVS page I removed the former format for KTPI on the KSRY page. --JoeCool950 (talk) 20:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KSRY

Star 98.7 is actually Modern Rock, not Modern adult contemporary. That's why I had KSRY linked. I fixed it. Since that's the case, there's no need to link 105.5 to KSRY. KSRY (formerly KOSS/KTPI-FM) is a far change from Adult Contemporary, which is what "The Oasis" was. Since that's the case, we won't link them. Just thought I'd let you know about the format though what it is. --JoeCool950 (talk) 02:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About KSRY Format

I saw where you were talking about KYSR being Modern AC, so I fixed it to that, which is how it will stay, because Modern AC and Modern Rock are basically the same thing. There's a link when you click on Mondern AC that links it to Modern Rock, so probably really didn't matter what it said. We'll leave it as Modern AC, since the station claims to be Modern AC. I double check though.--JoeCool950 (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KSRY Format

I will keep up the good editing work. I noticed it on the KYSR page that it said Modern Rock. The confusion is what it says on the page about KYSR. That might need to be edited on KYSR. By any chance, do you know who Rtphokie is? Whoever it is took off the schedule I had on the KBKO-FM page. Don't know why. I'm going to watch that. --JoeCool950 (talk) 03:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] High Desert Radio

The High Desert Radio Template needs to be Death Valley also, to inlcude the radio stations for that area. All the ones that are for Victorville can stay off. Just wanted to let you know.--JoeCool950 (talk) 02:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About High Desert Radio

Will you look into this, the reason why the template should be Death Valley/ High Desert Radio is because of these radio stations: KMQA, KCNQ, and KVLI-FM. Look into them and let me know if they should be on the Bakersfield Radio template. If so, I'll move them. I did take off the stations that were on the Victor Valley Radio template. Don't need them on both. Let me know about the stations that I mentioned, KMQA, KCNQ, KVLI-FM. Thanks. --JoeCool950 (talk) 04:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About High Desert Radio

If you want to, that sound's good to me, especially if those stations you know of can't be heard in Death Valley. For those stations that mention that, it's kind of misleading, so if you can switch those stations you know of, that would be cool, and I'll see about the other radio station or stations.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Check out KMQA,KCNQ, and KVLI-FM

I checked out the stations further that said Death Valley still, check them out. I went to where it says Query Arbitron's FM station database. It lists what the liscence area is for each station, I'm guessing. Check it out to see if they're right. They don't say Death Valley on none of them. I think Rtphokie just needs to leave those stations alone. If they're correct now, watch them to see if he changes them back. If he does, make note of them and let Rtphokie not to switch them, that they don't serve the Death Valley Area. It clearly says that on there. I've got your back on these stations, since I checked them out too. Rtphokie needs to do more researching on the Broadcast Area, before putting that on there. I agree that with what I looked up on Death Valley/ High Desert being High Desert / Eastern Sierra Radio.--JoeCool950 (talk) 04:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About Template for High Desert Eastern Sierra

Whammy,

 Let me know if you like the template.  It's High Desert/ Eastern Sierra Radio.  When you go to the template, it will say the name of them template being that, but for the area itself, so the viewers know which Sierra where talking about, it will say High Desert Sierra Nevada (US), since that's the mountain range we're referring too.  I would add Eastern, but that would make it too confusing.  I'm seeing if I can get Rtphokie to change the bottom part where it still says Death Valley/High Desert to High Desert/Eastern Sierra.  Just check out the template and let me know if you like that.  If you want to add Eastern into the area, you're more than welcome to, just let me know if you like that though.  --JoeCool950 (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template for High Desert Eastern Sierra

The template for

is all fixed up now. You can look at it and let me know what you think. Now that it no longer says Death Valley in it, no one had better switch that back, that includes me. I had Rtphokie correct the bottom part too. Wasn't sure how to do that, but he corrected that also. Respond back on my my talk and let me know what you think of the template now!!!! I looked into having all that done today. When you click on Eastern Sierra, there's a page that talks about the Sierra Nevadas, because that's the Eastern Sierras you're referring too. It makes more since having that be Eastern Sierra, since we're near the Sierra Nevada. Nowhere near Death Valley. Hopefully you like the template now. --JoeCool950 (talk) 02:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Could you tell me who Lucasbfr is? He earlier put a block on my user page for a stupid user move I did that I did. If you look under my history, you can see what it was. Now, he put a protection on my User name for some reason, which is wrong. It says ([Protected User: JoeCool950 [move=sysop])or something like that. I haven't gotten a response from him. The protected thing that he put on it has it to where I can't rename my username, if I don't like the JoeCool950 one. Although, would you advise me using the Move button to change my user name, or Wikipedia: Change username? --JoeCool950 (talk) 07:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Could you let me know if there's a way to take this off (Protected User:JoeCool950 [move=sysop]). Lucasbfr is probably affraid I'm going to move the page again. --JoeCool950 (talk) 06:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Yeah, the protection got taken care of. Just to note, the administrators if you change your username would whether you use Wikipedia: Changing username instead of moving the page yourself. The administrator that protected the page unprotected it, but since I know about Wikipedia: Changing username, if I think of a safer username, I'll go to that, although I'm chaning it back to it's original because the administrator mentioned, if he were me, it would be a smart idea to keep my real name low. I'll take his opinion, since you don't know what could go on, on the internet. --Joey Kaminski (talk) 19:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KMQA

This station KMQA was on the High Desert Eastern Sierra page. I took it off and put it on the one for Visalia-Tulare. It made no since being on the High Desert Eastern Sierra page. The broadcast area was in Tulare. Hopefully I did the right thing taking that off. I was like Porterville is more like closer to Tulare than the High Desert. The High Desert Eastern Sierra page looks a lot better than it did and now makes more since. I'm glad I was able to get Rtphokie to change it for us. --JoeCool950 (talk) 03:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
