[edit]

Rescued deadlinked sources from archive. Clarified the broadcast area: narrowed the text to the very words used on the WLNG website: East Long Island and the Hamptons. Quoted and cited its reported reception area from a separate source. Sourced other unsourced claims with named refs, added attribution as needed. Copyedited the plane crash incident for neutrality, per sources, added attribution. --Lexein (talk) 00:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brought the lede out, updated the infobox, moved the image of the studios from under the infobox to the left, moved some of the extra external links to a "See also" section, updated the webstream link, and updated some of the external links. - NeutralhomerTalk01:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Three content problems addressed

[edit]

I think I know what was driving the deletions:

  • "Target market" - a touchy subject, for a variety of reasons. It now matches the current WLNG website.
  • "Advertising" - out of context of the source articles, it read as biased. Rephrased.
  • "Carnival" - not supported by sources; it escaped my attention while fact-checking. It's gone.

I personally want additional independent sources to support the TWA800 reporting claims, eventually, such as news reports from the period about WLNG. --Lexein (talk) 03:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added new sources (one from a book, the other from a news release from the New York State Broadcasters Association) about the TWA 800 broadcasts. - NeutralhomerTalk20:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cool book find. Now I understand the carnival reference - that's where Paul was interviewing firefighters, then followed them to the crash scene. Makes sense. Still, best left as written in the article. --Lexein (talk) 01:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I didn't see the need to readd the carnival part to the sentence, seemed like unnecessary information. - NeutralhomerTalk14:42, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Ok, since that tower isn't the broadcast tower, is it the microwave link to the transmitter tower? --Lexein (talk) 05:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
