WPWA[edit]

(

  • ... that convenience store chain Wawa successfully forced Philadelphia-area radio station WAWA to stop using the call letters after 12 days? Source: [1]. Dates of callsign registration with the FCC come from its databases.

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 04:08, 4 May 2019 (UTC).

The article passes the age and length guidelines and I don't see major plagiarism, so I'll move to the article factual accuracy and sourcing.
  • I can't seem to find 1000 W in the source inline - only by source [8] was it mentioned
  • Or for that matter, that Poller had had a radio station in Scranton
  • Source [4] is inaccesible for me, so I will AGF
  • Some inline citation issues - for example, the acquisitions of the station by DelVal is not in the inline source, though it seems to be in the FCC document. For that matter, the FCC document could use more usage as footnotes, as a lot of factoids originate from there.
  • "was a country music station in the late 1960s and early 1970s" - again, not in inline source.
  • "Delaware County's Only 24 Hour Local Voice" - same
  • Confused what source [11] even contains
  • The part after AAHS discontinued operations is something I can't find
This is mainly inline citation issues. Once fixed, article should be ready to go, and original hook is better in my opinion. Juxlos (talk) 11:20, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
@Juxlos: Lemme respond bullet point by point... Raymie (t • c) 07:34, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Covered that by additional inline citation of the history cards.
  • It's in the same source as the preceding sentence, second column.
  • It's a book preview, unfortunately...
  • I've added some more cites to those history cards.
  • Added some cites about their Country Shindig concerts.
  • Added a cite of one of their newspaper ads from late 1976 using the slogan.
  • That source contains information about the format flip toward the very end of the article.
  • Added one more source on that.
I see the improvements have been made. Pass, and I will go with the original hook. Juxlos (talk) 08:41, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
