message: These sort of lists don't belong on a radio station page however programming may be described. Meaningless lists are pointless for a reader who knows nothing about the topic. More info see the Wikiproject: WP:WPRS Welshleprechaun (talk) 00:21, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a member of WP:WPRS & fully recommend that it should be displayed - it is useful and not pointless - it is considered to be detailed revision for people. If the info is displayed, then the topic won't be so meaningless as the people would read the detail provided - that is what Wikipedia is about. People would learn from the info placed.Jonny7003 (talk) 17:26, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: With respect, a member of WP:WPRS should read its guidelines. Also the list of slogans provides no information whatsoever. Welshleprechaun (talk) 14:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Prose is always preferred over lists.  And membership in the WPRS, which is open to any editor who cares to sign up, is an expression of interest, not a badge of authority to be flashed around.  I believe you'll find that WPRS and Wikipedia consensus is against current program schedules being included in virtually all radio station articles. - Dravecky (talk) 17:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: It's not about making people happy. It's about making Wikipedia encyclopaedic. I'm still pursuing the removal of the slogans and presenters. There is already a slogan in the infobox. I have removed them before but you have reverted it so I don't want to start an edit war. You could remove them yourself or I could take things further.

message: What should this page really be named ? The Wave are in transition at the moment and DAB listening is increasing and they are mentioning the DAB status on air as well as "96.4 FM". The other moves were unnecessary and shall be cleared up asap. Jonny7003 (talk) 08:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think changes are really justified unless there is a clear corporate rebranding. The station uses the names "96.4FM The Wave" and "96.4 The Wave" on its website and either would do as far as I'm concerned. Stability is the key. Pondle (talk) 11:59, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

text: I have no preference for the page name. However, each name change has an effect. If you click on the "What links here" in the toolbox section to the left, you will realise what that effect is. Please ensure that pages linking to this article do so directly rather than going through redirect. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 21:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The article was called 96.4FM The Wave a few weeks ago, IMO that was a perfectly adequate name that captured the context and reflected the website.Pondle (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I've requested indefinite move protection of this page, and it's been applied. Hopefully, the name on which it's currently landed is the correct one — if further discussion ends up deciding that it's not, administrator assistance to move the page one last time can be requested. Does everyone realize that this article has been moved 50 times over the last 8 1/2 months, due mainly to one user? Mlaffs (talk) 21:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Please do not edit the article until the template has been removed. I'm doing a major cleanup to remove all POV, inappropriate and unsourced material. Any edits will cause a conflict and will be reverted. Thank you. Welshleprechaun (talk) 19:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've finished editing. In an attempt to prevent edit warring, please do not make any controversial edits without discussing here first. This applies in particular to the multiple IPs (who are more likely than not the same editor) who are making back-and-fore edits. Thanks for your cooperation. Welshleprechaun (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ofcom termed coverage area is in the infobox. Lead should specify the broadcast area as "Swansea Area" is not only ambiguous. it's subjective. If you still have a problem, please request a 3O rather than edit warring. Welshleprechaun (talk) 20:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Edit war? You made the initial change here, so see WP:BRD. The phrase Swansea area may be ambiguous to you, but it's the phrase used by Ofcom! Besides, your addition of Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire was inaccurate. See paragraph four of the coverage brief. Pondle (talk) 20:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not accusing you of edit war, just saying that it's best to discuss here rather than start one. Ofcom doesn't precisely define what the Swansea Area consists of. Mumbles? Llanelli? Carmarthen? Liverpool? Welshleprechaun (talk) 22:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Please do not edit

message: Ofcom's exact text in para 4 of the coverage brief is "the city of Swansea and the surrounding area, including the towns of Llanelli, Neath and Port Talbot" with "the city of Swansea and the surrounding area" in bold. I suggest we follow the Ofcom form of words. Pondle (talk) 23:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no need for the "including... blah blah blah", let's cut the crap and keep it simple and to the point. Welshleprechaun (talk) 23:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You were the one who wanted clarification. IMO the city of Swansea and the surrounding area, including the towns of Llanelli, Neath and Port Talbot is to the point. I would be happy with the city of Swansea and the surrounding area in the lead with more clarification in the "Coverage Area" section, but the essential point is that the licence was granted "for the provision of an Independent Local Radio service or services in the Swansea area". This is clear in the coverage brief. Pondle (talk) 23:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ofcom terminology is displayed in the infobox and can stay there. The lead has got nothing to do with saying what the licence is for, just to where the station broadcasts! You can go into more detail in the Coverage Area section. And how dare you accuse me of edit warring as I said to keep things on the talk page, but you are just pushing your views without consideration. Welshleprechaun (talk) 23:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not quibbling about the infobox, my concern is with the lead. As for where the station is broadcast to, I'm simply following the Ofcom text the city of Swansea and the surrounding area, including the towns of Llanelli, Neath and Port Talbot. This is a verbatim quote. I reverted your change, which created a subtly different meaning, and asked you to take to the talk page. You "reverted my revert" in the middle of the talk page discussion. I have offered a reasonable compromise above, if that doesn't sit with you I suggest a third opinion.Pondle (talk) 00:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Excuse my ignorance; what is a "TSA"? As in "One of the reasons for this is people within the TSA were getting confused between Swansea Sound and Sound Wave, thus incorrectly calling the FM station Swansea Sound Wave." in Early years subsection, and "The station's official Ofcom TSA is Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Llanelli." in Coverage area subsection. Could someone please define "TSA", writing out each word of the acronym (if it is an acronym) and follow it with the letters in brackets, or Wikilink the term (preferably both).

message: 1. Do we have a source confirming the target demographic for both music and information?  Can't find this in the refs.  2. Do we have a source confirming that the premises are temporary?  One of the sources linked seems to suggest the studios were "purpose-built".  An inside source tells me they have no intention of moving - amongst other things, they have some of the cheapest business rates anywhere in the county by a long way.  81.111.114.131 (talk) 03:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  "The Wave - disambiguation" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: The Wave is no longer branded, or known as, "96.4 The Wave" like it was before! It's now just "The Wave" in everything. The name of the article should have the "96.4 FM" removed to reflect this (and it should have never been included in the first place because the station was never known as "The Wave 96.4 FM" on air!). 
And Radio Wave 96.5 in Blackpool has been swallowed up by Greatest Hits Radio, so it's not as if the "96.4 FM" is needed to avoid confusion between the two stations! Kwesiben91 (talk) 03:51, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
