Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good.
• Add a comma after "sporting events".

History

• "majority owned" → "majority-owned"
• Add commas after "January 31, 1982", "Detroit, Cincinnati", and "Los Angeles, Chicago".
• "under construction" → "under-construction"
• "shuttered March" → "shuttered on March"
• "keep services" → "keeping services"
• "southern California" → "Southern California"

Service and programming

• Add a comma after "Los Angeles, Phoenix".
• The phrase "did not pay simply received no" sounds wordy, so try rewording.

Equipment

• "manufactuers" → "manufacturers"
• "California governor" → "California Governor"
• Remove the comma after "particularly Chartwell in Detroit".

Stations

• Add commas after "Lakers", "September 9, 1979", "minor league baseball", "Blackhawks", and "children's programs".
• "operating January" → "operating on January"
• "court ordered" → "court-ordered"

• This is the only one I didn't change, as it is a subject and verb, not an adjective ("a court ordered Desmond to..."). I'm not a personal Oxford comma fan, but I went ahead and made the changes.

References

• Try archiving sources (especially Newspapers.com, which will disappear if the title changes).

• Thanks for the review. Let me get back to this particular element... I hope there's a tool, because this and KVDO-TV combined have a lot of references to newspapers.com, and also I have a LOT of citations to newspapers.com in my GAs, GA candidates and across the topic area. (To give you an idea of the scale, I have nearly 11,000 clippings on newspapers.com!) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:20, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Thanks for archiving sources, but there are some, may I several edits above that weren't addressed. Same issue with the KVDO-TV article, where there are just a few issues that haven't been addressed. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 01:27, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Eyes glazed over a bit there, but I should have everything taken care of. The only other one besides "Telecasters" I haven't made on KVDO is "prime time", as our article on that is two words and I'm not using it as an adjective but as a noun (e.g. AP Stylebook would call for "prime time" as noun and "prime-time" as an adjective).
