Talk:WITI (TV)

message: While the call letters appear to stand for Wisconsin Independent Television, Inc, that acronym was not the reason for the assignment of WITI. Nearly every broadcast channel east of the Mississippi were automatically assigned call signs that start with W. The founders of the station who applied for the FCC license were "Independent Television, Inc" , and when approved, they were assigned WITI. It is a nice coincidence that the W can also stand in for Wisconsin. Perhaps the article should mention this, rather than leaving the impression that they picked WITI because the station is in Wisconsin. Not a dog 23:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removed "Wake-Up Slogans" 

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion 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:Source list 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). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 00:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: WITI (TV) →  – U.S. TV station articles seem to be standardly disambiguated with the "-TV" appended to the station call letters (e.g. KPIX-TV), rather than by parenthetical disambiguation. Not sure why this one uses the latter, but as I said that seems to be non-standard. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:47, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
