Callsign

[edit]

The complete call sign for WLKY is all four letters. In FCC-nomenclature, the first character is a quick indication of the station's location within the United States. K- for those stations west of the Mississippi River and W- for those east. Quite unintuitive, I am sure ;-). The standard for the broadcast infobox is to have all four letters of the callsign listed, even if only 2 or three of the letters are used. As an example, another Louisville, Kentucky stations uses all four letters, WHAS with a meaning of "We Have A Signal." Cute, huh? Yet, WAVE doesn't seem to have any meaning at all. Just thought I'd explain why I listed all four characters. Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 20:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Found one unreliable source stating that WAVE is from "Radio WAVE".....not sure. -Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 07:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Logo needs to be updated

[edit]

In the fall of 2016, WLKY modified the logo it has used since 2008 by replacing the numeral "32" with the CBS eye. Can someone please update the logo? J4lambert (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

[edit]

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:

  1. 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.
  2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
  3. 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.
  4. 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) 13:59, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
