[edit] Christian radio stations

No problem at all...I see you're fairly new, so you may not know all the little tips and tricks yet. And yeah, the separate section for low-power stations is probably a good idea; that's really what I should have done instead of removing them.

The main thing about that is that Wikipedia's current policy on radio stations requires that a station "broadcasts at least regionally"...which is awkward and doesn't entirely make sense (somebody once tried to invoke that as a reason to delete one of the biggest AM radio stations in New Orleans, because the article didn't explicitly spell out that the signal could also be heard in the suburbs!), but what we do know is that it more or less rules out 5- or 10-watt VF stations that don't necessarily even reach all of their own community of license.

Oh, and by the way...the actual policy for radio stations is that they should be titled CXXX (AM) for an AM radio station or CXXX-FM for an FM station. Just so you know, some Canadian radio stations already have articles at just CXXX without the suffix; generally these were written before the policy was clarified and just haven't been moved yet. So feel free to move radio stations to the proper title format if you come across one that isn't titled that way yet.

[edit] CJLF

Hi...please don't file a radio station directly in Category:Religious media in Canada if it's already in Category:Christian radio stations in Canada — the Christian radio stations category is already a subcategory of the religious media one, and Wikipedia has a rule against duplicate categorization.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CJTW FM.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CJTW FM.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. 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.BetacommandBot 04:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
