[edit] Talk:Gus Grissom

I have recently re-factored the Gus Grissom page, deleting the blatent personal attacks from both sides, and archiving discussion not relating directly to the wording/addition/removal of content from the article. I noticed in this edit that you made that your section title was inappropriate. It was interpreted as a personal attack (see WP:NPA). Please remain civil. I have posted a template message at the top of the talk page to give other editors the same message. Sancho McCann 18:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC) Totally understandable. Just saw this bozo's nonsense and my brain asploded all over my keyboard. There are times I wish there could be a basic test for adding things to Wikipedia.--DrBear 18:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] News Music/WLUK

Hello. I could be wrong, but I was told that under WP:TVS talk, that news music sections aren't allowed on pages anymore. For what reason, I am not sure, but that is what I was told. If you would like to research further, please go ahead and I will leave that section be in case I am wrong. Take Care...NeutralHomer T:C 19:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree with you there. There should be a mass post system so that admins can send something to all members saying "this, this, and this are now against the rules and this and this are OK" or something like that. If you need any help with any TV station related problems, please let me know and I will be glad to help you as best as I can.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wluk61logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wluk61logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WBAY-TV building

Ya wrote: The station's headquarters in downtown Green Bay is a former Catholic school that has undergone many renovations. The school's gymnasium is called the WBAY Auditorium, and is used as the studio for the station's Cerebral Palsy telethon. (The actual studio is in a small addition behind the building). The auditorium has also been used for local theatrical productions. The station's newsroom is in the basement of the building in an area that originally held a swimming pool, and later, a bowling alley.

Facts:

The WBAY Building was originally built as a Knights of Columbus Clubhouse (hence the name on the cornerstone "Columbus Club"). It was built as the "Catholic Alternative to the WMCA" of which all good Catholics were expected to patronize, anyone caught by that "other place" could expect a "reminder from the 'Board'" by a local priest (that news came from my grandmother).

It had a twelve lane bowling alley, Olympic-size swimming pool restaurant (basement), auditorium (first floor), billiards on the second and a gymnasium and hand-court on the third.

In the 1930's, the Knights of Columbus ran into problems with their loan and the White Fathers (Norbertines) took over the building (eventually, the KC's built a new building next door in 1938 which still stands today).

The Norbertines decided to turn the second and third floors into an all-boys Roman Catholic High School called "Catholic Central". The auditorium had the seats taken out of the main floor in order to accommodate a "full-size" gym.

The swimming pool was eventually covered up and became lanes 13-18 in 1961 when the new automatic pinsetters were installed.

You can read the rest of it here. http://www.wbay.com/Global/story.asp?S=99819&nav=menu24_10_13

The WBAY Auditorium is also used for other productions than just the CP Telethon.

The WBAY Auditorium is the only part of the building that doesn't have air-conditioning.

Now...try it again!
