DYK instructions[edit]

This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.

Feedback on Article[edit]

Very well done, well thought out and full of information. It seemed to me that maybe the impact section could be expanded past the Bauer and Wildman opinions to include some other counter-weight.CMTucker (talk) 14:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional feedback on the article[edit]

This is a very nice write-up!
As the entry is fairly long, it might help the reader if the paragraph on the diversity index in the "Prior history" section mentioned that the index was never put into practical used (as discussed later in the entry).
In the same section, the entry on local television ownership rules mentions triopolies and duopolies but I think this is misleading (and so is the designation "Duopoly Rule" by the FCC). In economics, a triopoly is a market structure with only three suppliers overall and a duopoly one with two suppliers. However, unless I am mistaken, the FCC rules allow one organization to own up to three (or two) stations in a market, as long as there is a sufficient number of other stations available. Maybe this can be clarified?
Lastly, I noticed that footnote 1 lists the entire alphabet ... is this intended? --JMBauer (talk) 16:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

my peer advisor told me to cite the main case often since it is a legal article hence the whole alphabet. I will make the other changes as noted. Thanks. 69.98.252.130 (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
