[edit] Bad move needs fixing

Should someone fix the bad cut-and-paste type move to here from WXTM? I don't have the guts to do anything about it except write this request... --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. I reverted it back to the last revision of the WXTM page. --Aaron 22:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, I blanked WXTM and set it to redirect here. You had two competing versions of the same page. --Aaron 23:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

For the first time in a long time Cleveland finally got a radio station that played great alternative music. Now the radio station changed from 92.3 X-treme to K-Rock which is now modern rock. I have a feeling that this new station will be going down hill because it is under new management. Only time will tell. I now find myself listening to WMMS more because of the music they play.

--Wanting 92.3 X-treme back.

[edit] Move

Whoever did this moving of call letters did it completely wrong. This article has lost it's history too. IrisKawling 16:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was totally botched by someone. It'll take an admin to fix it all, since it involves moving back over an article with a non-empty history (my least favorite restriction in Wikipedia). Wasted Time R 16:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Not to mention the calls are still WFNY-FM and WXRK for New York and Cleveland respectively. --Tv's emory 20:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

There seems to have been 2 botched merges regarding these 2 radio stations (4 call signs: WXTM, WXRK, WFNY-FM, and WKRI): First, the one in 2006 should be fixed. The call signs on Jan 7, 2006 changed as followed: WXTM became WXRK and WXRK became WFNY-FM. In terms of the articles, WXRK to WFNY-FM was moved correctly, but WXTM to WXRK was not (text was copied and pasted). This 2006 WXRK is currently named WKRI, so to fix this:

• history merge WXTM into WKRI
• delete WXTM
• recreate WXTM as a redirect to WKRI

Second, on May 25, 2007, the articles were moved as follows: WXRK to WKRI and WFNY-FM to WXRK. WXRK to WKRI was done correctly, but WFNY-FM to WXRK was not (text was copied and pasted). So to fix this:

• history merge WFNY-FM into WXRK
• delete WFNY-FM
• recreate WFNY-FM as a redirect to WXRK

I think this will get all of the histories back as they should be. We (non-administrators) could fix the WFNY-FM back to WXRK ourselves, but would lose the history of the last few edits from today. I'm just going to leave it as is. --Scott Alter 20:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

• I've posted it over at WP:SPLICE, just need to wait for an admin to do it -- pb30<c.t> 21:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

• Who executed these moves? Officially, neither station has changed their call letters yet. New York's K-Rock is still using the WFNY-FM call letters. I imagine that the supposed WKRI call letters have yet to be applied to Cleveland's K-Rock. I don't think Wikipedia should speculate on future call letters until they become official. 70.111.58.38 11:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, 92.3 in NY used both sets of call letters on May 25. Although the FCC's database is not updated yet, WXRK would not have been used on 92.3 in NY if it had not been transfered back. And according to the WKRI article, the old WXRK in Cleveland began using WKRI. --Scott Alter 16:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WXRKlogo.png

Image:WXRKlogo.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
