[edit] Don't know how to change the name of the article

Please re-name this whole article as the correct name of this station, which is

Vancouver Co-operative Radio.

Note that it includes no capitalised letter "O". Also, it should re-direct from

a. CFRO. b. CFRO-FM. c. Co-op Radio. d. Co-Op Radio. e. Vancouver Co-op Radio. f. Vancouver Co-Op Radio. g. 102.7 FM. h. 102.7FM. i. 102.7 fm. j. 102.7fm. --Korky Day (talk) 13:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Radio station articles on Wikipedia are titled with the call sign of the station, not with their brand name. And we don't redirect from a frequency number to a single radio station, as there are hundreds, if not thousands, of radio stations in the world which broadcast on 102.7 FM. What we can do, however, is create a list at the title "102.7 FM" of those stations (I've started one at 102.7 FM, although it's not complete), and we can redirect the other way, from the on-air name to the call sign, as long as the on-air name is unique (which it certainly is in this case).

Thanks, Bearcat, you're a great help. I don't know how to re-direct. Can you do it from my examples a. through f.? --Korky Day (talk) 04:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
And from Vancouver Co-operative Radio? Korky Day (talk) 04:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
There appear to be other stations in the world that use the name "Co-op Radio" as well, so that one will also need to be a disambiguation page rather than a redirect to this article. But I've created all of the redirects that can legitimately point to this one alone (ie. the call signs and the titles that do have the name Vancouver in them.) Bearcat (talk) 00:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Great! It works! Thanks. How about also adding a re-direct from Vancouver Cooperative Radio, since some might think it has no hyphen? Korky Day (talk) 19:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
A "Co-op Radio" disambiguation page already exists. Korky Day (talk) 19:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Uh, yeah, it exists because I created it about five minutes after posting the comment you're replying to (*grin*) Bearcat (talk) 21:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
