message: :Image:WLUPlogo.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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 there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  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.

message: With the soon to be call-sign change to WCKL-FM, the edited information on the WLUP-FM Wikipedia page should be transferred to the new WCKL-FM Wikipedia page, thus rendering the information currently on the WLUP-FM Wikipedia page to change back to its original state from March 9th, 2018 with appropriate edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radxr3 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally, radio station articles cover the station's entire history dating back to when the station was first licensed — we don't create new pages every time the call letters change, we instead just rename the article. Occasionally, there are some exceptions, such as when a new WLVO article was created after EMF bought the former WBRU license in Providence — but that is an exception that proves the rule, as the WLVO article does cover the station's entire history, dating back to WPFM in 1955, in a way the WBRU article didn't quite do (since that article instead follows the even longer history of radio at Brown University in general dating to 1936, well before the 1965 acquisition of WPFM; in addition, the post-license-sale continuation of WBRU seems a bit more substantial than Cumulus' WKQX-HD2 continuation of "The Loop"). However, the existing WLUP-FM article does cover the station's days (dating to the 1940s) as W83C, WEHS, WHFC, and WSDM in addition to its run as WLUP "The Loop" since 1977; I also don't really see anything requiring a split at this time. (I'll also note that reverting the WLUP-FM article back to March 9 would actually remove some edits made about the earlier history of the station — at that time, it claimed that the then-WEHS signed on some time in the 1950s, rather than 1945 as it now says.) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
