But is the IFT location data properly licenced for us to use? --  Denelson83  20:29, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@Denelson83: The IFT is the Mexican equivalent of the FCC, so it should be usable. The Coverage Viewer itself is located at http://mapasradiodifusion.ift.org.mx. Raymie (t • c) 20:32, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, it's a different country. Data from the US federal government is automatically PD, but I am not sure about anything sourced from the Mexican government. --  Denelson83  20:33, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@Denelson83: I'll note I've been making extensive use of the data on FM and TV articles and lists. The user's manual mentions nothing about rights. Raymie (t • c) 20:37, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, I myself don't want to risk adding the data and then being told by someone else that I have violated copyright on the data and have to remove it. I can at least add the data for the Mexican clear-channel stations, as the FCC database has all of those. --  Denelson83  20:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

@Denelson83: I appreciate that concern, but I think this would be fine. I haven't had issues yet, and hundreds of articles are already using info from the Coverage Viewer and publicly available documents. Raymie (t • c) 20:45, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

A new user just popped up today in both English and Spanish Wikipedias by the name of BabyKids2019 7. I've also noticed that BabyKids2019(2) has not been blocked. I made a report on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ghso ehwj but I don't know if I submitted the report the right way. Also, he recreated this draft, uploaded two fake logos (1, 2) and there is a hoax user sandbox that should be deleted. I hope you can help me, I'm lost here, the report submissions are very different than the ones on the Spanish Wikipedia. Thanks.--MexTDT (talk) 08:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Today I found that the user Bankster moved the page <<Sistema Público de Radiodifusión del Estado Mexicano>> to <<Mexican State Public Broadcasting System>> [1]. The system has no official name in English, so I wonder if it is okay to arbitrarily translate the name of the broadcasting system and move the page to that space in enwiki.--MexTDT (talk) 05:05, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

• The relevant policy is WP:UE. I'm of the opinion that the clause If there are too few reliable English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject probably fits the case and this was a poor move. The translated name in English gets no hits. The SPR's own English-language brochure does call it "the Public Broadcasting System", but the disambiguation problems are obvious. The one mention in Variety is in a list of organizations and is for "SPR (Mexico)". I'm probably going to open an RM or RfC on this one. Raymie (t • c) 06:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I moved the page because of practicality consistency. As you say, the English term is only used on English-language academic applications translated from Spanish because it provides context about the institution. Leaving the term untranslated would leave doubts about either its function and its actual meaning, specially from a Spanish-language native-speaker like me. Google mostly relies on Wikipedia when linking external-, untranslated institutions like the SPR. Thus, given the relatively-short period of time in which the article's title was translated, it'll take time for websites referring to that institution by its English name to popup. Even more, if official English-language translations provided by the Mexican State already addresses the institution by that name (and considering there are many other organisations following that trend), then we must pursue similar moves for untranslated organisms in Spanish. Cheers. --Bankster (talk) 05:43, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

@Bankster: I honestly disagree, and I think I'd like to bring this to RM or a venue where other observers can comment. I notice you have made a significant number of moves without placing requested move templates to solicit the opinions of outside observers and that some of those moves, including the SPR one, have been to fairly major targets: National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, Channel 13 (Argentina), Terrestrial network, Jose P. Laurel (which removed an accent), National Radio Television of Colombia, Digital terrestrial television in the United States. I think that many of these moves were significant enough to merit discussion, which was not afforded. In the case of Digital terrestrial television in the United States, I will be requesting a move back to its original title which more accurately reflects the article's contents, and I'd like to place RMs to gather discussion and opinions about pages including those I have listed. I hope that, if you consider potentially controversial page moves in the future, you open requested move discussions to allow consensus to be built first. Raymie (t • c) 00:34, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Nay Salvatori's marijuana quote is interesting, but I've got no idea if she's sarcastic, sincere, or just joking (though I understand it may be difficult to get a neutral account of the exact tone), and it left me wondering what her attitude towards marijuana is. I think it might be worthwhile to include her attitude towards marijuana in the article. e^πi (talk | contribs) 14:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

I keep thinking there must be a shortage of stupid people around here; ones who can get easily confused (like me) and will blurt out "huh?". Please see my confusion at Talk:KGTO-TV#Up, then down? Shenme (talk) 01:51, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

I expanded KMPC's history section, covering the periods when the station was KPOL, KSKQ, and KXED, and there is no useful content in KPOL (AM), KSKQ (defunct), and KXED (defunct)'s articles that should be merged into KMPC. The content that isn't already covered in KMPC's article is either unsourced trivia or is factually dubious. In fact, a good deal of the information that I found in my research conflicts with what is in these articles. Since the discussion has been open for over two weeks and no one else has chimed in, would you mind if I close the discussion and redirect these pages to to KMPC without merging any of the content?--Tdl1060 (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

@Tdl1060: What you have now is miles ahead of the articles that should just be redirected into it—and I'm doing the newspapers.com work to back it up. Nice work, so go ahead and close the merger proposal. There are a lot of LA defunct station pages that could use the same treatment. Raymie (t • c) 01:55, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Boleyn (talk) 20:07, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

@Boleyn: Just added a cite directly to the FCC file. Also, you added a {{notability}} tag, so I figured you'd want to know about the relevant standards in WP:NMEDIA. Raymie (t • c) 20:21, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the link and adding a ref - hopefully more will be added in time. Boleyn (talk) 21:44, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

@Boleyn: It's...kind of hard to add more on radio stubs. We have a good number of articles in radio that are like this. Vic Michael's penchant for moving callsigns, selling stations, and even taking them defunct can make them confusing to write from an encyclopedia POV, too. Raymie (t • c) 21:45, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, it is a tricky area but thanks for contributing to it. Boleyn (talk) 21:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
