Talk:WAPS (FM)

message: :Image:WAPS logo.png 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:WAPS logo.png

message: Among the article's many issues:
* The general tone in sections is promotional, e.g., History and Rock & Recovery. The Advert template covers this, but a POV template could have been applied as well.
* The citations are insufficient in number in terms of the amount of material, inadequate in terms of the information they provide, e.g., Mondotimes, and unreliable in being self-referential, e.g., Kidjam, Rock & Recovery and WAPS/The Summit. To improve, independent published sources must be used, e.g., the Paste magazine cite (the article's only reliable source). 
* Regarding paraphrasing, the section that includes the Mondotimes citation begins with a verbatim sentence from the source. I suspect this true elsewhere because of the tone issue, but can't verify this for lack of citations.
Some of this is a shame because the History section has good material, but unfortunately there's no way of knowing whether it's true. Allreet (talk) 05:05, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
