The IP address 207.230.140.240 (talk • contribs) has recently fleshed out the history of this station considerably. Which is great; for example, it now has enough info for an infobox. However, a WHOIS lookup finds that this IP resolves to Clear Channel Communications. The operator of this station. Which makes me suspect that original research may be at work. Though I don't know for certain, and I don't have a clue what we do going forward.
But honestly, if it's true, and I'm interpreting the policy correctly, I'm a bit torn. If the user has access to information directly from the source, information that would seem to be manifestly true, why shouldn't that information be allowed into the encyclopedia? Do we delete information that came from someone in a position to know precisely because they're in a position to know? And of course the answer is WP:V: we need to be able to check off on this info, and "inside" information coming from within the ivory tower, so to speak, is a bit suspicious. And there's the possibility that whatever gets added is informed by some ulterior motive, such as marketing. Verifiability, not truth, you know?
Maybe I'm just babbling to myself. In the meantime, I've added {{Originalresearch}} to the article until we can make a decision on what to do about this, or until something happens with it. Or something. Morgan Wick07:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the issue you are trying to make out it, their is nothing in the txt of the article that would have any inkling of a smear campaign, also the tag you used it to harsh, if any thing their is a lack of references and sources, but nothing outlandish to say that it's or. --Boothy443 | trácht ar07:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I said anything about a smear campaign. For that matter, I didn't take anything from the text itself; this was purely by inference. I just noticed that the IP came from Clear Channel. Am I misinterpreting the NOR policy? Morgan Wick22:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Boothy, a while back you changed the mention of WLYH at the very top to WHP-TV, which is a very different station. Any reason why you did that, and why only the notorious BenH noticed until now? Morgan Wick00:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
