XHVZ-FM

Could you please take a look at this station? User:JPG-GR reverted my last edits; I had added class, slogan (¡Aquí Nomas!) and logo. The logo was from Facebook, so that may have been questionable, but the class (from IFT Coverage Viewer) and slogan were correct - I think. Thanks. User:Rudy2alan (talk)

@Rudy2alan: Wish I knew why. There has got to be a newer version of the logo, given that La Mejor seems to like to tweak the presentation every year or two. Raymie (t • c) 23:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

It would be nice to see an explanation for reversions, such as this one. Thanks! Rudy2alan

Your GA nom

Hey Ray, I think I saw on the GA nominations page an article and you said it was your first nom so tell you if you've done it right? I can't find it again, but if you want me to have a look at it and/or review it, I'd be happy to :) Kingsif (talk) 17:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: It's KUCB-FM (Iowa), an article so good I held it back from DYK to be my first GA! Please, I'd love for someone to look at it. It's the longest of all the radio articles I've written. Raymie (t • c) 17:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Sure :) Do you want some comments here? Kingsif (talk) 17:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Yes, that would be great! Raymie (t • c) 18:03, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Okay. While The Des Moines Register is a really good source, it accounts for 39 out of the 52 references; could the sources be more varied (a wide variety of sources). I like the use of the weather beacon image. The header "plunge into silence" may be a bit too emotive, but isn't that bad (I wouldn't say it definitely needs changing). It's a stable article. I'd give it another check for jargon and similar, but it looks pretty good - I haven't done a copyvio check, mind. :) Kingsif (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: The problem is that noncommercial radio stations didn't get a lot of coverage in the trade publications, even ones with this level of turmoil. Most of the references to KUCB in the resources that AmericanRadioHistory.com has are cursory references and recaps of FCC actions already covered by stories here. Even searching for additional material online does not bring up much of anything. Raymie (t • c) 18:51, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Ah, well, it's a solid source, so if it's one of few papers to cover it, that should be okay :) Kingsif (talk) 19:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Typically, it's local/regional papers and the trades when I write about radio. Rarely do stations transcend and go supernova, like KTTL did. (KTTL was a trip to write.) Raymie (t • c) 19:37, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, so this KUCB looks ready for nom, nice job. If you think KTTL is a good candidate, you could do that, too. Kingsif (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Here are some of the other longer DYKs of mine from the past year: WOOK (AM), WOOK-TV, KOET (Utah). Raymie (t • c) 22:44, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Also one or two pending: WFAB (Miami), WMJX (Miami). Raymie (t • c) 22:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

These all seem to have good coverage, which can be a big issue before nominating. Your writing style is typically good, so if you feel it hits the criteria for GA, I wouldn't be scared to nominate some of those. Also note that at the start of the year there's more GA noms because of the Wiki Cup starting, so if you nominate a few, it would be nice if you reviewed some (not QPQ, but a friendly gesture to keep GAN going!). (I'll also note that I am in the Wiki Cup and this isn't a plug to try and get you to review any of my noms, just a suggestion that comes with GAN like I'd give at any other time) Kingsif (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Was just curious, were you wanting to review KUCB-FM (Iowa) or not? Raymie (t • c) 18:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

I wasn't planning on, but if you want me to I could. I just saw the note about it being your first and thought I'd leave a reassuring message and some input :) Kingsif (talk) 00:26, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I'd appreciate it if you would! :) Raymie (t • c) 00:28, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

I'll add it to the list :) Kingsif (talk) 00:36, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
