TV Stations

While Antenna Height Above Average Terrain (HAAT) exists in the current Broadcast infobox, Antenna Height Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) is needed, because it is much more relevant in mountainous locations than HAAT. An example is KBDI-TV ↗. Maybe I'll do it when I get the time.

Deletionism

While I agree that Wikipedia is not, and should not be, a trashcan, we must be careful with our deletions, because, with our imperfect knowledge of the world, it's easy to rashly delete something that is important, meaningful, and possibly helpful information for others.

:I realize I might have wiped out a bunch of material, and had actually planned to restore some of the non-copyvio material this morning before you got to it. I only did it to make sure I got rid of all the infringing material. Blueboy 96 15:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
::Right. No worries. Wikipedia saves everything for us so it's easy to restore and/or reword. Thanks for pointing out the copyvio. Amazingly, I didn't even realize I was doing it while I was doing it.TheRealNightRider (talk) 04:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
