Talk:WAGA-TV

message: On the 24th of December 2005 user CFIF moved the page via the copy paste meathod. As it states on the Move Page "...but please do not just copy and paste the contents (doing that destroys the page's edit history)." I have restored the page on its former home of WAGA (TV). I have reapplied the changes made by two users in the time that the contents of this page were at WAGA-TV, and attempted to give them credit in the comments box. These changes are still listed on the history of WAGA-TV if you would like more information.
Based on the number of pages user CFIF has moved in the time sence this move, I would guess that he/she has learned how to properly move pages. And while I don't agree with some of these moves I do appreciate that they are done with the proper tools provided in the wikimedia framework. Thank you. A 06:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improper page move 

message: The WAGA dis-ambiguation page is consistent with the fact that this is the only WAGA still in existence. Had all 3 stations still been WAGA, there would be 2 differences:
# The phrase "is or was" would be wrong; it would be simply "is".
# The TV station is the one on top. This does make sense because it is the only one that sill is WAGA, if all 3 stations were still WAGA, it would make sense to me for the AM station to be on top. Georgia guy 23:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

*Leave the redirect for now or convert it to a DAB.  WAGA can also mean Wisconsin Apple Growers Association, Western Amputee Golf Association, Women's Alabama Golf Association, Western Action Group on AIDS or Western America Golf Association.  There are more, but this serves to show that those 4 letters are used in many ways will will need a dab page at some point, like maybe now.  Vegaswikian 06:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When this is moved to WAGA, those (likely) non-notable links can be easily moved to WAGA (disambiguation), it's not that hard. --CFIF (talk to me) 21:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why change something that is not broken?  If those other uses get articles, then the dab may actually belong at WAGA so the suggested move may have to be reversed and the dab put in its place.  Given the number of other uses, changing what is already in place does not seem necessary.  It could lead to too many people winding up at the wrong page.  That's why leaving the redirect or changing it to a dab is likely the best direction to take.  Vegaswikian 22:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, like there is going to be 15 million people searching for the Western Amputee Golf Association that for the TV station. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is the number of uses.  All of those are more likely for people out west then a local TV station in an east coast city.  Vegaswikian 23:29, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone revert this page and change the logo to the actual WAGA logo instead of the KVVU and clean up the pictures and use better language?

message: What's the deal with removing all of the former logos from this page?  It seems like every time someone adds logos for any of the Atlanta stations, they all get deleted.

replies: text: Logo galleries violate WP:Fair use, specifically #8,  Non-free media is not used unless its presence significantly increases readers' understanding of the topic in a way that words alone cannot, and its omission would be detrimental to the reader. , and The use of non-free media in lists, galleries, discographies, and navigational and user-interface elements normally fails the test for significance (criterion #8), and is thus unacceptable.

thread_title: The Disappearing Logos

message: Hi, I've noticed that the article states that WAGA broadcasts 55 hours of local news a week. However, when the specified hours are added up, they total 57 1/2 hours/week. Also, it states that WAGA is second in the most local news in the US. However, WSVN broadcasts 55 1/2 hours/week (and is ahead of WAGA if it broadcasts 55 hours/week), and WTVT broadcasts 60 hours a week (just behind the leader, KRON, with 60 1/2 hour/week). I hope this isn't too confusing:)--74.243.207.96 (talk) 19:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hours of local news per week 

message: Hello,
Over the past several weeks I have noticed a couple of lines of obviously false statements about WAGA-TV rejoining CBS in 2011 and introducing a "new voice-over". The lines were added by an unregistered user with an IP address that is shared among different users. Obviously, I cannot warn that user directly, and doing so might result in everybody using that IP address becoming temporarily or permanently blocked from editing Wikipedia. I have removed those two lines from the article, only to have that unregistered user revert my removals.
Therefore, I am requesting that the article be semi-protected (meaning that only registered users be allowed to edit the article) at least temporarily.CoconutHead65 (talk) 20:46, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I'm not really sure the second paragraph in the lede belongs there, as it isn't a summary of the most important facts, and also completely unsourced, so I've removed it from the article.  It doesn't seem very important to the article, but if sources could be found that show that this is an important fact, I think it should be moved to its own "Transmitters" section, somewhere either above or below the "Digital television" section, perhaps.  As it is unsourced and seems very trivial, I've removed it per WP:NOTEVERYTHING: Wikipedia is not a complete exposition of all possible details. Rather, an article is a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject. Treat verifiable and sourced statements with appropriate weight. - SudoGhost 05:48, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
