Fox 10 tower logo[edit]

Should we just replace the Fox 10 logo now with the one for Monday? We did that with the Daystar swap last weekend. -TrackerTV 20:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Question[edit]

Does anyone if those are the REAL job titles for sports and weather? I have watched FOX 10 for years and only heard references a couples times as Jude for being sports director and Dave Munsey as the Chief Weather Authority. Does anyone know? please let me know.

Thank you.

Jude is the Sports Director. Dave is the main weather presenter but, lacks any real weather knowledge or chops. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.110.57.130 (talk) 02:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material[edit]

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a 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:

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.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:NLIST 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.
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. 70.48.216.22 (talk) 00:22, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:KSAZ-TV/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 13:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Prose[edit]

Lede[edit]

Link CBS Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:33, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done

When did it become known as KSAZ? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:33, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

February 12, 1994; added this in. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 15:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise lede is fine.

General[edit]

Would be nice if it had some more images. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:35, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When I do one of these for GA, I do check for freely licensed images. Unfortunately there weren't many to be had for this station. The Gallego/Hook one is the best, and it's not even close. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 15:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Everything seems to read well enough, and is cited. I'm happy to just pass this one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:35, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Review meta comments[edit]

I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time.
