WXLO redirect

The WXLO redirect needs to be removed because there is an station in Worcester, Mass. with that existing call sign. The redirect needs to be removed to reserve it for a future article with the existing call sign in that location. I think this reference and the existing location has no connection from what I know.

Fair use rationale for Image:WRKS-FM.png

Image:WRKS-FM.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 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.

Comment on the last paragraph: The target audience did not change in 2007. Black listeners 25-54 have been the target audience for over a decade. Secondly, why is the contributor typing in capital letters? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.173.36 (talk) 18:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Request vandalism protection

Can we get vandalism protection where only signed in users can edit Mikey551415 (talk) 03:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

New info wepn now tj

98.7 Is now TJ A pop up radio Station I live in state and read articles like crazy please see attached for more info. The station may be temporarily as they are trying to sell the station 98.7 now TJ 98.7 a pop up radio station Mikey551415 (talk) 05:20, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I know. The history section of the article already mentions all that. The format section on the infobox also notes that the station is stunting, which means it’s a temporary format. DrPepperIsNotACola (talk) 05:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok Mikey551415 (talk) 05:26, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Also, even though WEPN-FM no longer broadcasts ESPN, that doesn’t change that the call sign still means ESPN. That’s why it has to stay there. You also can’t put the station slogan in the infobox under branding. The branding should only be listed as “TJ 98.7”. The logo is copyrighted and cannot be licensed under a Creative Commons license on Wikimedia Commons. DrPepperIsNotACola (talk) 05:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

It isn’t but okay Mikey551415 (talk) 06:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

You can get the images anywhere Mikey551415 (talk) 06:08, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Republishing the logos in a news story is an example of fair use. That doesn't change that the logo is copyrighted and can't be posted to Wikimedia Commons under the CC license. People using it in other things like YouTube videos or social media posts may be able to under fair use but otherwise have no permission to use it since the logo is copyrighted. It has to be uploaded to Wikipedia with a fair use rationale, just like the logo for Z100 is. DrPepperIsNotACola (talk) 06:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay Mikey551415 (talk) 04:16, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Ahem ... it's not quite that simple.

If a logo consists of just simple text and/or common shapes, no more than one sentence, in a commonly used typeface, it has not crossed the threshold of originality and thus cannot be copyrighted. Further, if it was published without a copyright notice prior to 1978 (as most logos then were; I assume this is about the WOR logo in the article?) it also, under the laws of that era, entered the public domain.

Just like z100 or WPLG Mikey551415 (talk) 06:08, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
