  • Starting this review. Realized that there are two articles here. I will be posting notes for both articles right here. If that is procedurally incorrect, please feel free to let me know. Ktin (talk) 17:13, 30 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Article 1: WLEE

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article meets eligibility criteria - newness, length. No issues with tone. Earwig does not throw any issues. Hook is cited to a Richmond Times dispatch, an offline source. Requesting the nominator to see if they can provide a digital version either via a newspapers.com snapshot or other means. Will AGF on offline sources across the article. QPQ done. Hook is interesting. Passing back to nominator. Ktin (talk) 17:33, 30 April 2022 (UTC) Article 2: WBBLReply

  • Hi Ktin, I have PDFs of this material and would be happy to send directly. Richmond is a weird market for papers: the Richmond papers run to 1963 in Newspapers.com, but then I have NewsBank which picks them up in 1985. I cannot link to NewsBank resources, unfortunately. Would you email me or find me on WP:DISCORD? Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 19:34, 30 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks for sharing the pdf, Sammi Brie. Looks good. Richmond's oldest radio station -- part-time religious station WBBL-AM -- is homeless for the second time this year. The station, licensed to Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, used the transmitter and tower of former WLEE (14 80 AM) until the station was silenced Dec. 31.. The 65 year comment also checks out as a simple 1989-1924. Looks good. Marking approved. Nice work as always. Ktin (talk) 19:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
