message: :Image:KVIA.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 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.BetacommandBot 04:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:KVIA.jpg

message: This is what I removed due to it being sourced by a forum post and being deliberately confrontational.  Sorry it was marked minor.
On August 8, 2008 in a Pathetic attempt to compete with KTSM, KVIA Started to claim they were showing their News in HD, while Actually broadcasting in Stretch-o-Vision. this has been reported on the El Paso HDTV Thread at the AVSForum.

replies: text: I wasn't disagreeing with you, I just objected to "in a Pathetic attempt to compete with KTSM", which isn't very encyclopedic and "Pathetic" didn't need to be capitilized.  It should still be sourced properly or someone else might remove it. Drunken Pirate (talk) 07:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I figured you just wanted me to remove that part since you put it in quotes on your edit summary. I'm sorry about that, but I was mad when I wrote that for obvious reason.  I forgot that a lot more people watch these articles, than the Mexican TV channel articles I'm used to editing.  What do you mean by sourced properly? Do you mean put the link in the bottom part, and link to it using the numbers, because I know how to do that. If you mean find another source, I doubt I'll find one. I don't know if you're from this area, but just in case you're not, KVIA is the richest station in the entire DMA including the Juarez area.  I doubt any reputable source like a newspaper, will report about this without solid proof, for fear of being sued.  Joeloliv8 (talk) 18:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV section 

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) 18:05, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
