message: I need some help with the Iola Johnson article.  (She was a very popular anchor at WFAA for about 12 years during the 70's and 80's.) I've added several citations, but am having trouble verifying (i.e., finding citations for) several claims that are in the article.  If any editor on this article could help with the Iola Johnson article, it would be appreciated.  Thanks, Jwesley78 (talk) 02:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

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) 16:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm not exactly sure how long the section has been in the article, but I wonder if it is possible to migrate the content from the section regarding WFAA's former sister radio stations to the articles linked under the "see also" template (KLIF (AM) and KBFB). This article pertains to the WFAA television station, so a section regarding the history of the radio stations that were formerly owned with the television station has questionable relevance to this particular article.
