Introduction to contentious topics
{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to ''' post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system ↗.
<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics <em>procedures</em>, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> --Tryptofish (talk) 20:50, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
:@Tryptofish
:Let me address a few points.
:- The 20 million YouTube views can be found directly on the YouTube page's view count. That, of course, counts all the views that happened after the event concluded. There's no clean way to source it that way so I chose a news article off Google News that mentioned the figure.
:- The fact of 11 million English language viewers lost: that is based on the numbers given in the press release cited. Overall viewership declined from 137.8 to 128.2 million from the second quarter to the halftime show overall, and that factored in the increase on Spanish Telemundo from 3.3 million to 4.8 million. That leaves the English viewership going from 133.5 to 123.4, an 11 million viewer difference. (I will note that this does not establish where those 11 million viewers went and I worded that as carefully as I could have to ensure not to imply causation.) I mentioned it only in the same context of the famous Super Bowl XXVI counterprogram, which likewise coincided with a (larger) negative impact on the Super Bowl halftime ratings. Admittedly it is treading close to original synthesis, but there is nothing there in that cannot be deduced from the numbers already given.
:- Fox News Channel is deprecated. Fox Local (which is the local newsrooms of Fox Television Stations and operates separately from FNC) is not. At least as far as I know. The fact that most of the channels that carried the program are not Nielsen-monitored, as mentioned in that article, is not controversial.
:- Likewise, although the part about TBN not responding for comment is probably not necessary and doesn't add much, the sourcing (a Gannett Company newspaper) meets standards of reliability.
:- I purposely did not include claims TPUSA made about its internal estimates, specifically because of the inability to verify them—only that they considered it successful enough to do it again next year, which they're in the position to make that decision.
:Unfortunately there is a lot of editorializing going on even in news articles about this event. As Wikipedia editors, we of course should strive for neutrality and make sure anything we say about it is neutral and honest. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
::The proper place to discuss this is at the article talk page, where I have already started a discussion. You may perhaps want to move these comments of yours there. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
WGR Rochester
You can find the new logo herehttps://ramp247.com/programming/wgr-sports-radio-expands-into-rochester/ ↗ - I don't know how to get logos uploaded and approved so feel free to try. Wellington Bay (talk) 01:52, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
:Yeah, the copy they have is a little too small to work with, compared to the 550 version of the logo that's up (and will eventually also need to be updated with the version that has 104.7 and 107.7). I'm going to wait to see if/when Audacy officially publishes a larger copy before I do anything further with it.
:Failing that, I can always go into GIMP and edit out the "550" part so we have a universal logo to work with for all three stations. But I'd rather not do that except as a last resort. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 01:56, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

WUTV ↗
I reverted most (but not all) of your additions to WUTV because the sources in the article did not justify most of the content. In articles like this that I've primed for Good Article ↗ status, I don't let new, unsourced additions or additions that fail source verification sit. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 02:26, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
:Understood. If I interpolated too much, I have no problem with being reverted, though some of it is attested in the sources (such as the channel 29 previously being allocated to Canada). The fact that channel 59 had previously been in use for WBES-TV ↗ should be mentioned. I'm not sure how to do that given the sources we're working with, which don't directly reference the channel 59 past. I'll see what I can do to keep the Good Article criteria you're seeking. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 02:37, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
::I kept what I could find in the articles I had. In this case, really, the first paragraph answers the question of "how 29 got here". WNYT-TV (of no relation to Albany 13, of course) doesn't connect to WBES-TV except by channel number. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 04:47, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
:::With that in mind, I've taken the liberty of splitting off the bidding process and the discussion of what came before sign-on into its own section to make that more explicitly clear. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 12:36, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Draft:Opry Band ↗ image question
Hello, I'm drafting an article on the Opry Band, and was wondering if you have any insights, particularly with respect to a page image. We have tons of Opry pictures on Commons, but I don't actually which ones show the Opry Band as opposed to performer's own backing bands. Cheers! <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 18:54, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:@BD2412: It's generally common practice that performers who are solo artists use the Opry Band for backing. Beyond that, the best reference I can give you is the Opry's own Web site, which has pictures of each band member you can use as a cross-reference: https://www.opry.com/artists/opry-band You can probably go back into the Internet Archive to find past iterations of the Opry band for older pictures (the site goes back to about 1997, though the page featuring the Opry band itself is substantially newer). J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 20:02, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:: I was hoping to use something already at Commons to clear copyright more easily. For example, perhaps this photo of the Judds performing, I presume backed by the Opry Band, who are mostly visible in the shot? <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 22:37, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:::According to the caption, that is ''not'' the Opry Band. That is a U.S. Air Force Band (as demonstrated by uniforms and decidedly non-country instrumentation). J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 22:39, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:: Actually, from the caption it looks like that's the Air Force Band. Something similar to that in look and feel, however. <span style="background:gold">'''''BD2412'''''</span> '''T''' 22:39, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I would say that, if you come across a picture in Commons that doesn't identify the backing band and the lead is a solo artist not known for having such a band, it's safe to assume that it is the Opry Band. Like I said, there is a public roster of the current membership in said band for cross-reference. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 22:41, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

@User:BD2412: Try this one. This shows a good chunk of the band performing for Opry member and regular Connie Smith and George Hamilton IV. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 22:46, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
