== Deletion discussion about ] ==
== Template:RadioTranslators ==


Hello JPG-GR, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.
There is a bug in the ] template -- there is nothing that differentiates AM stations from FM stations, as all stations link to the FCC's FM database. In the ] article, there's a list using this template, but the network has several affiliates on the AM band. Could the template be adjusted so that the station could link to the correct database? Thanks again. -- ] (]) 03:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:There is no such thing as a licensed AM radio translator in the United States. These stations you speak of are either not translators or are not licensed. The use of this particluar template in this particular situation is invalid. ] (]) 03:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:Try utilizing {{tl|RadioRebroadcasters}} instead. ] (]) 03:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
::The ] list is showing incorrect and misleading information. Nothing on there says if the stations are 24/7 translators of MBN or part time.


While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, ], should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages in its current form. Your comments are welcome at ].
::If is the file that you are using for the list, it says there "Moody’s Owned and Operated Stations, Translator Outlets, and Satellators (highlighted in blue) carry the complete schedule of Moody Broadcasting programs. Our affiliate stations (in black type) carry a portion of this programming." The stations on the list should be divided like-wise so it is not misleading. As it stands now, it seems like ''all'' the stations listed carry the full schedule of MBN programming, when they do not...or are all owned by MBN, when they also are not. - ] <span style="font-size: 0.8em;"><sup>]:]</sup></span> 03:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Proposed deletion of KGGM

Notice

The article KGGM has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Zero secondary sources, no evidence of meeting WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
