Talk:KDFW

message: I noticed some revert wars regarding the Fox branding on several articles on Fox-owned stations. The official name of the network is not all uppercase, but that is how the company prefers it.
So, do we call it "Fox" or "FOX"? You decide. CoolKatt number 99999 02:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I edited KXII and KTEN's news anchors section, and also a few other articles. it is in the format of a Wikitable, instead of listing information one after the other. I think that the traditional format can get to be very cluttered and confusing since a lot of information is left out.
Example:
This is what the format in KDFW is now.
*Person Name - person's position at KDFW (Span 1990-2000; now weekday anchor/reporter at some other station in Anytown, USA)
This is what I am suggesting:
Name:         	Before KDFW: 	Presition(s) Held:                 	Span:    	Now At:
John Q. Anchor	WFOR-TV; WSVN	Reporter/Producer, Denison Newsroom	1988-1998	KJTL
And yes, I used the alumni/past personalities as an example, because that is where this new format would be very helpful. It would make sense to include the current on-air talent as well. The "Now At:" would not be included and the Span would be replaced with: "Joined KDFW On:".
Example:
What it looks like now:
*John Q. Anchor - weeknights at 5:30, 6 and 9PM
What it could look like:
Name:         	Present Position(s):  	Previous Position(s):	Joined KDFW On:
John Q. Anchor	Weekdays at 5, 6, & 10	KXII; KFOR           	February 1, 2009
I did not ask about editing KXII and KTEN. There have not been any objections. While I update their pages frequently, sometimes I miss a few updates, and some other Editor or IP User updates it before me. Whoever these people are, they do not have any objections. They update in the same format.
I figured there are more viewers of KDFW, and more editors of KDFW. If I put in another format, these editors might object and reverse my edits.
Are There Any Objections???????????? Let me know, and explain why. I will start:
I am for this new format (actually for all local news sections of broadcast station articles, not just KDFW) because it would better organize the information about the personalities, especially for the alumni/former talent/past personalities section.

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in this 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:
#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.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# 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. 
#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) 16:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I am going to add "also fill in weather anchor" to Fiona Gorostiza. She has done weathercasts in 2013 when one (and later two) of the other anchors were unavailable.
If it is reverted, I guess it is no big deal. She is leaving KDFW.  In Correct (talk) 02:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Channel 4.2 carrying the Decades TV Network was added to the on-air programming of KDFW. 
The info is confirmed in the WP "Decades" entry.
Should this be added to KDFW? I'm new to WP editing and unsure how to make this kind of change considering the right-hand sidebar.
