Article name

[edit]

I have moved this article back to KHNL from KHNL-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KHNL. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations. —A 04:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:KNHL.gif

[edit]

Image:KNHL.gif 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 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 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 04:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

really? I love KHNL, but I don't remember them anywhere near #1 in 95, 96

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

[edit]

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

  1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
  2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
  3. WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
  4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 06:04, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]
  • KTRG-TV broadcast some local productions – considering it was almost 60 years ago, shouldn't it be in past tense?
    • that is past-tense
      • Oh, silly me, you are right.
  • the station were feeling a financial squeeze – it would appear "feeling the squeeze" is an idiom, discouraged per MOS:WTW.
    • Reworded
  • Perhaps, the first instance of "duopoly" should be wiki-linked?
    • Done
  • what had been KFVE's building prior to the 1993 LMA – I don't think "LMA" abbreviation is explained anywhere in the article.
    • Reworded
  • said the SSA would – I believe this sentence is missing "he" in the beginning.
    • Fixed
  • Just to confirm: seemingly inconsistent italics on "Hawaii News Now" is on purpose, as you alternate between the newscast and the organization?
    • Yes
  • Refs 50 and 67 have "work" parameter, which is not supported by {{cite book}}.
    • Changed
  • Ref 87 was a dead link. I boldly added an archive link, but make sure it's the correct one.
    • Yes

Spot checks

[edit]

As the references here look equally important to me, I let fate decide which ones are worth checking.

  • 5 – confirms FCC granted Kaiser construction permit checkY
  • 25 – the reference confirms that KTRG-TV goes on air as KIKU-TV checkY
  • 29 – confirmed KIKU-TV started testing color telecasting in 1969 checkY
  • 48, 49 – the dates and the names of the islands check out, the previous owner of KHBC-TV indeed sold it. checkY
  • 54 – KHNL indeed started providing programming to KFVE checkY
  • 80 – this particular source appears to be a dead link and the version available on the Internet Archive is pay-walled. Other refs in there do support this paragraph, though. checkY
    • They broke all these old links. It's now [2].
  • 91 – confirmed poaching of KITV's anchor Dan Cooke checkY
  • 102 – confirmed KHNL dropped its sports segment and lost both of the remaining sportscasters checkY
  • 115 – the spreadsheet does list KHNL's K32IX-D station in Lihue checkY

The article is well-written (minus a few typos), prose is clear and concise. Apart from a single use of an idiom mentioned above, the article follows all the MoS guidelines listed in GA criteria. It contains no original research, everything is cited using reliable sources (with the nominator even providing clippings for newspapers, which is not required). It contains no copyvio, quotes are properly attributed. The article is broad and neutral. Images used are properly licensed and contain suitable captions where appropriate.

Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 05:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/KHNL; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • New enough (submitted within 1 day of achieving GA status); more than long enough (22,319 characters of prose); well sourced with citations throughout; neutral in tone; spot check suggests copvio highly unlikely. QPQ is done. Hooks are backed up by citations. Personally I find ALT1, which cites an article in TIME magazine, a lot more interesting. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
