Tags

This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag. With the pasted statement in mind, I'm removing all tags. You want to tag, say why.Jjdon (talk) 22:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Profiles: Inappropriate POV

The long list of profiles are written in a casual, conversational, nonobjective style. The facts are there, but it requires heavy editing, and only a few of the people should be listed. I suggest deleting the list, as it looks like it was directly copied and pasted from perhaps the station's web site bio page. This article would be better as a stub, or with other relevant factual information added.

For example, from the profile of Alex Snell:

Alex has many nicknames, such as 'schnelly', 'inspector schnellsworth' and even 'Filofalex', bizarre! Still having some difficulty mastering the controls, Alex's shows on Blink always guarantee a good laugh! She describes herself as "stop asking me stupid questions" while hobbies and interests include "leave me alone". Come results day, Alex hopes to reach sixth form at Borlase Grammar School studying maths, further maths, physics, chemistry AND biology (she's mad about learning!). On random shows every now and again, check the schedule for details."

Re-write

I have now re-written and modified much of this article to better reflect Objective Wikipedia writing style, and included some relevant information formatted in a logical way. Hopefully the article is more useful to those who read it now. Mr Smith - United Kingdom (Europe) (talk) 10:32, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Here are all the sources I can find that would indicate that WYA may be the owner - I'm going to grab a drink now :) We can also consider that we know for certain as of Nov 7, 2018, it was WYA property: https://web.archive.org/web/20181107010534/http://wycombeyouthaction.co.uk/blink-fm/ MattIPv4 (talk) 19:39, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

reason for revert

We can't really report a claim of a change of ownership or a youtube channel as an offial website without a source. We can can just about source that the station existed (see above) but thats just about it.©Geni (talk) 19:34, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
