Jack FM in Bakersfield
I saw that you were able to get the article started for 97.3 Jack FM. It's cool that Buck Owens Production was able to get that in Bakersfield. I was listening to it, but wasn't sure who owned the station. It's the same format that KKXX was, when they were Pirate Radio (93.1). I guess the test permit means they won't play commercials until they see how the format does. (JoeCool950 (talk) 21:25, 2 October 2011 (UTC))

Carly Foulkes "list-defined" references?
I just noticed this edit. It am unfamiliar with this type of referencing and intend to undo it unless convinced otherwise.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's been the preferred standard for referencing on Wikipedia for more than a year. It moves the references out of the body of the article (where they make editing very difficult, especially for new users) to a single spot at the end for the convenience of readers and editors. Please do not undo these edits as it would be disruptive and against the current Wikipedia standards. - Dravecky (talk) 19:05, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I did not know I was out of the loop. Is there policy on list-defined refs?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:44, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- You can learn more at Wikipedia:List-defined references. - Dravecky (talk) 19:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Call sign changes and swaps
So, I've been spending the last while going back through my files of the FCC's Call Sign Actions reports — not sure why I chose that as my way to ease back into things, but there you go. Having made my way back through the last two years plus, I'd say that they could easily be divided into four categories:
- Everything was done perfectly — article renamed correctly and all the associated links corrected
- The article was renamed correctly, but some or all of the links needed cleaning up
- Nothing had been done yet
I think I've taken care of pretty much everything in categories two and three, but category four is the real doozy. There are a number of them — probably 50 or more articles involved — where the articles are a complete mess. More often than not, it's in the case of a swap, where someone's just changed the frequency and CoL instead of moving the actual articles. Most of these have also had subsequent edits, making the situation even worse.
What do you think are the odds that I'd be able to scare up some experienced editors on the radio stations project who'd be willing to help roll these changes back, move the articles correctly, and then restore any of the changes that are appropriate? Mlaffs (talk) 22:53, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

- Yeah, wasn't sure how active it's been the last while. OK, I'll throw a list together and add it to the bottom of my missing articles/infoboxes page, and drop a note on the talk page too. Thanks for offering, guys. Mlaffs (talk) 23:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Luther Masingill
I know you have Luther's name at the top of this page as a potential page for creation. Well, here is some more you can add to it. It is a story from WDEF-TV that people from Chattanooga and Hamilton County, Tennessee were on hand with other folks to honor Luther (and other people of the media) for their service to the community. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:23, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
