More Puerto Rico call swaps

Once again, NotiRadio Broadcasting has swapped call signs among several of their stations (two years after the last round of swaps), which will require complicated page moves:

The station at 680 kHz in San Juan (facility ID 8889), which had been WBQN the past few years, is now WAPA again, following an October 11 call swap.
The station at 1260 kHz in Ponce (facility ID 61147), which had become the new WAPA (AM) after the dust settled in 2022, became WBQN in the above swap, but is now WVOZ following another call swap on October 18.
The station at 1580 kHz in Aguadilla (facility ID 72452), which had been WVOZ (AM) since 2016 (well before any of the earlier swaps), wound up as the latest WBQN with the October 18 swap.

As you were the one to perform the necessary page moves in 2022, which followed various subsequently-reverted cut-and-paste moves by IPs, I figured I'd run this by you as well (particularly as the IP C&P moves happened yet again). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wcquidditch The articles have all been moved with round-robin swaps. All links and hatnotes need appropriate adjustment. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:56, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KARE (TV)

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 4 December 2024. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 2024, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/December 2024. Please keep an eye on that page, as comments regarding the draft blurb may be left there. I also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before the article appears on the Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work!—Wehwalt (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your version was about 25 characters too long. I took another swing at it and it is now 15 characters short of the maximum. Feel free to play with it with that in mind. Wehwalt (talk) 17:43, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Wehwalt; I think it's important to put how badly their news was rating post-NBC switch. It basically drove the entire arc of station history for half a decade and occupies substantial space in the article. The revamped blurb looks good.

TFA

Thank you today for KARE (TV), introduced: "If I have a type, it's major-market, often network-affiliated TV stations with unusual histories. After a radio detour, I'm back at it, and channel 11 in Minneapolis is one of them. You'll get: the story of two stations on one channel, consolidated by Consolidated; how the Minnesota Twins came along to save the station after it lost its network affiliation; how then-WTCN-TV went from successful independent to NBC affiliate with a disastrous "new news" that the ratings showed to be "about as popular as the measles" (not my words); and how Gannett took the station apart and rebuilt it to viewer acclaim in the 1980s and 1990s."! - My story today is about a concert I sang, on the conductor's birthday (story) in memory of a dear friend (music). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:02, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:51, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help with article "KBSV"

I recently edited the article KBSV, which is a television station based in California for the Assyrian community there. I added some sources to the article and made a few edits, but they were reversed by a user @Mvcg66b3r because they thought that it fell under "Conflict on interest" and that I had a connection to the TV station's owner or other people in the article.

The article previously had issues of notability as well as citations, and the ones I added were those that mentioned the TV channel at all. I don't know if there was anything inherently promotional about my edits, but could you please take a look and see which edits are good to stay/which ones aren't appropriate for the article? Surayeproject3 (talk) 22:55, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Surayeproject3 I think @Mvcg66b3r has badly misread your intentions. I get why. He is an antivandal fighter above all, and this is not a normal TV station. But that's exactly why the article was so bare: it needed more than anything an Assyrian community topic specialist. That's you. The material you've added is useful and comes from places I would not have known to look (I found the original newspaper clipping for the 2003 article that misspelled it "KSBV"). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it and if you'd be able to incorporate that 2003 newspaper into the article if possible, it'd be a huge help if it provides more information. Surayeproject3 (talk) 15:20, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
