MVS TV[edit]

  • ... that the over-the-air subscription service for MVS TV in Mexico City only has three subscribers? Source: "Que conforme a la revisión hecha por el IFETEL a cargo de Gabriel Contreras, MVS sólo tiene 3 clientes en su servicio de televisión restringida Canal 52."

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 05:44, 7 November 2018 (UTC).

  • @Narutolovehinata5: I've added some additional material that should help. I don't think it's necessary to have a citation in *every* sentence per guideline, but the first main paragraph did not have any, which is no longer the case. Raymie (tc) 06:05, 16 November 2018 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: AGF on the source, though Google Translate checks out. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:33, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Coming to promote this, I think the hook unsatisfactory. You cannot use the present tense because you don't know how many are signed up now, only the number on the specific date the statement was made. Also, three subscribers to what? The article is a morass of channels and the statement seems to refer to Channel 51 but its not clear precisely what the hook refers to. (Elsewhere, the article mentions "Canal 52" which is presumably an error.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: What about something like ALT1 "... in 2018, the over-the-air subscription service for Channel 51 of MVS TV in Mexico City only had three subscribers?" Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:59, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Restoring tick based on previous review and the new ALT1 hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
