Talk:WWL-TV

Branding

I don't know who did it, but WWL-TV does not go by CBS 4. It goes by Channel 4. I changed it to reflect that. - --Bdj95 (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Belo Section

Newspaper listing should be removed from Belo listing as they were split off to a separate company 72.204.152.47 (talk) 23:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Dick Van Dyke ref incorrect

Reference to WWL-TV being the spring board for Dick Van Dyke is incorrect. WDSU-TV is the correct reference Please fix citation.

Fixed. WWL-TV didn't sign on until Dick Van Dyke was long gone from NOLA. I'm old enough to know. WDSU sent the first television picture I ever saw. I was just a toddler at the time, and the family of a kid named Peter, who lived just up the street, had just bought the neighborhood's first television set.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced or improperly referenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
3. WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 19:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

PSIP

Someone is changing the phrasing of virtual channel references from "Through the use of PSIP" to "However". This reduces the quality of the article as it suggests that it is unknown how a virtual channel is established. The editor should identify him/herself and explain the merits of this change. In the interim, I will revert all NOLA TV pages back. Sore bluto (talk) 19:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Problem with reference

Reference 6 appears to be a dead link. Does anybody know the correct link? Nolabob (talk) 22:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
