Retro TV category

Hello... with respect to your recent addition of the "Retro TV" programming category, it has been deleted. Categories such as that are generally used only for the original network, not for rebroadcasters. (If we were to use categories for every network that had ever shown a series, it would quickly become unmanageable.) If Retro TV has created any original programming, then those shows would be appropriate for the category. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this. Thanks again. --Ckatz^chat_spy 18:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

KWQC-TV/KWQC-DT

I just wanted to drop by to leave you a quick note that I've done the following:

undone the redirect that you placed at KWQC-TV, thereby restoring the content that was there before
placed a redirect from KWQC-DT to KWQC-TV, thereby removing the content that you added there

It appears that in creating the KWQC-DT article and redirecting KWQC-TV to it, you've performed what is known as a "cut-and-paste" move. This is a problem, as doing so means that the correct contribution history necessary for licensing purposes does not follow the content.

If you believe that an article is named incorrectly, then the correct way to rename it is to use the "move" tab at the top of the page. However, please note that this wouldn't be a correct action with regard to this article. Articles about television stations in the U.S. are named using their FCC-issued call sign. Despite the fact that this station is now broadcasting in digital, as all full-powered U.S. television stations are, the station's call sign has not changed — it is still KWQC-TV, and so the article needs to stay at that name.

You'll find that this is true for most U.S. stations; there are very few that have actually changed their call sign to use the '-DT' suffix. In the future, if you believe that a station has made this change, the FCC has a database search tool that you can use to confirm this. Mlaffs (talk) 19:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
