Talk:WISE-TV

message: This thing is a mess. It focuses too much on that lawsuit, and in other places, is very confusing, and chock full of unverified facts. I say make the lawsuit just a tiny blurb in the history section, and make the article less bloated. -Whomp 15:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, come on. The lawsuit should not have to take up the whole dang article. Not only should it not be OR, it should be shortened and verified. -Whomp 21:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article is a mess 

message: I tried giving Indiana's NewsCenter it's own entry instead of being redirected to WISE-TV.  I think it's incompetent that it was set up that way.  WISE-TV is part of Indiana's News Center.  Indiana's NewsCenter is not part of WISE-TV.  It just looks awful. --Dilk85
:Check the article naming policy. WISE-TV is Indiana's NewsCenter. It's justi WPTA's newsteam, plus Linda Jackson, not some regional news organization... jeez. --AlexDW 14:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indiana's News Center 

message: I agree. There should be an article for "Indiana's NewsCenter" instead of redirecting it to WISE-TV. There is also one for "Northland's NewsCenter" in Duluth. Set it up the same as that. Just remember it is WPTA, WISE, Fort Wayne's CW (WBFW), My TV Fort Wayne, and WeatherPlus. It is not to be confused with The Indiana State News Center and Discssuion.

message: Does anyone care that the old WISE-TV studios may or may not have been condemned? --AlexDW 14:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect it's either one or the other, isn't it? Sure, people care - but can you cite a reliable source that other editors can verify? It's not sufficient that you merely know something to be true; Wikipedia policy prohibits original research, and warns against the telephone game. ClairSamoht 15:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it wasn't verifiable, and didn't seem particularly relevant, so I removed it. --AlexDW 15:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

text: As I said before, Sure, people care.  And people care about Wikipedia, too. If you want it on the page, follow the Wikipedia rules. If Wikipedia policy allowed unverified gossip to stand, you'd be very unhappy about what some people would post. ClairSamoht 20:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, personally, I don't "want" it on the page — I don't see how mold in a former (presumably abandoned) studio is relevant at all to an encyclopedic article about a television station. If someone adds it again (without referencing an acutal source), I'll remove it, again. --AlexDW 11:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mold? 

message: An edit was made saying that Granite had defaulted on its June 1st 2006 payment. This is not true. Actually, they were able to make the payment through a "Senior credit facility". This was kind of a short term loan that made the June payment. But they have to pay it back short term as well. This is where the problem lies right now. They thought with the sale of the San Franscisco station they would pay the short term loan. In any case, as part of an agreement with their creditors they have gone into a restructing agreement which has be done by the end of August. It's complicated but if you go into their stock quotes and look at all the newswire and disclosures you can figure it out. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060703/nym043.html?.v=61The preceding anonymous comment was actually made by Josephblowhard on 06:01, 23 August 2006
In the SEC filing, it says in Part II, Item 3, 
Which part of "Default... had occurred" are you having trouble understanding?  If you bother to go to Edgar and read the SEC filing (It's the 10-Q for June 30, 2006), you can figure it out. ClairSamoht 14:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Since WISE and WPTA have merged as "Indiana's News Center," how should we do "Notable WKJG/WISE Alumni" 
Should we merge it all into one article or split it into as follows:
*Prior to Granite Broadcasting's Acquisition
*Post Granite Acquisition

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Indiana news center.jpg

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a 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: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). 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. 70.48.216.22 (talk) 00:57, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
