Talk:WFLD

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.

thread_title:  "Fox" or "FOX"? 

message: WFLD is also the first Fox UHF O&O to adopt a logo similar to that of sister WTVT. Since it is branded Fox Chicago and not Fox 32, there had been questions as to what the logo would look like.
So, since we don't have a version of the logo and the new web site doesn't really feature it, what does it look like? I'm curious. Describe it as well as you can, preferably in terms of the versions of logos we do have. Morgan Wick 04:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The Wikipedia Manual of Style on heading (WP:HEAD) says that:
*headings within articles should not contain wikilinks -- the links should be included in the text of the section instead;
*the Wikipedia style for capitalizing headings is to use "sentence case" instead of "title case", e.g.,
:Important things to know about this subject
not:
:Important Things to Know About This Subject
This may be unfamiliar to many editors who believe that or have been taught that "title case is the right way to capitalize headings". It isn't the "right way", it is one style. Wikipedia has, for better or worse, chosen to follow a different style, i.e., capitalize the heading the same way you would capitalize any sentence:
*capitalize the first word,
*capitalize any proper nouns (people, places, organizations), and
*begin all other words with lower case letters
In addition, I have changed the heading "On-Air Talent" to "On-air staff". "Talent" is industry jargon. It does not describe the position or the work. It is meaningless to readers unfamiliar with American broadcast industry jargon, and is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. "Staff" indicates that these people are being listed because they work for the station. Ground Zero | t 11:15, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The Wikipedia Manual of Style on number formatting (WP:MOSNUM) says that:
*Wikipedia style is to use "a.m." and "p.m.", not other variations such as "AM" and "PM", or "am", "pm";
*decades should be indicated as "1990s", not "1990's" or "90's" or "90s"
*numbers ten and under should normally be spelled out in a sentence instead of using the digits.

message: Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of names in articles. This type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in policies and guidelines. this list of names fall into:
#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.
the whole section was unsourced and was unnecessarily long, risking the article being difficult to read, navigate, and comprehend. Bobjim45 (talk) 08:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I see Light TV listed as 32.2, but I do not see it with my TV. I also don't see it on Fox-own WPWR either, where it was listed as 50.3 somewhere. The official website only lists LA and NY. I think the entry should be removed from WFLD until it's actually on-air. Andyross (talk) 22:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
