Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 20:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lede

• As WSMS-TV and WKID, it was an English-language independent station in two stints. - needs a reword. Currently not a sentence. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:42, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• After a number of years as a carrier for the ON TV subscription service, the owner of ON TV, Oak Communications, sold WKID-TV in 1984 to John Blair & Co., which relaunched it the next year as Spanish-language WSCV - needs a reword to avoid redundancy. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:42, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• since grown in size and stature in the market and in the area of local news. - bit promo-y in my eyes. Do we have any metrics we can point too? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:42, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

General

• Permit holder is two words. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• studios to be at Pirates World - link or a location? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

• You missed the link a couple sentences early. Side note: WSCV I had improved parts of previously...so if you see mistakes I don't typically make, that's probably why.

• Though one objection was made to Channel 51, Inc.'s plans, by Hank Zinkil—a state representative and former mayor of Hollywood attempting to exaggerate that Pirates World had been "the source of great controversy" due to rock concerts which required consistent crowd control, and a drug dealing site—[12] the FCC shrugged off Zinkil's challenge, and from a new 1,049-foot (320 m) tower affording market-wide coverage,[13] WKID returned to the air on February 14, 1972.[14] - this is all one sentence, split. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• You linked the FCC earlier but didn't state it's initials. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• 1975 was a year of unique - never start a sentence with a number.Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• Shortly after two bombs went off at those studios in Dania, and a production office the station leased in Miami on the night of February 24[15][16]—an attack for which a Cuban exile group took credit, blaming WKID's policy of rapprochement with communist Cuba in its Spanish-language programming[17]—Channel 51, Inc. went bankrupt in March,[9] and Pirates World with the WKID studio was condemned in September.[18] - long sentences seem quite often. Should probably split to talk about the bombs then why there were bombs and then aftermath. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
• Why is there a further information tag half way through a section? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

• The ON TV article covers the 1980–84 period; the section header covers the 1972–84 period. I moved it up, though. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

• A few times you put asides in the article. Things like —later 6 p.m. should be notes instead. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

• I've tried to cut back or reword some of these long sentences. Pinging Lee Vilenski; I should have covered everything up to this point. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
