Orphaned non-free image File:WAPZ-AM logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:WAPZ-AM logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Related to Dave?
Are you related to the SF Giants "Comeback" pitcher? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.12.55 (talk) 01:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Not in any meaningful way, no. - Dravecky (talk) 03:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Nice!
Not seen the refs=listdefined trick before. Did you convert them all manually in Martin CJ Mongiello, or is there an automated trick to doing it? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 00:12, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Manually (which is the easy part) after updating the references with complete info using the proper templates (the hard part). - Dravecky (talk) 04:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Brave! Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
WZTQ
Geez, I take a quick break for some lunch, and I come back and all the link updating is done! ;>) Mlaffs (talk) 18:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- Heh, sometimes I can't help myself. WZTQ is one of the stations on my watchlist. - Dravecky (talk) 18:31, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- No worries — I laughed pretty hard over here. Mlaffs (talk) 19:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Can you wikify the above title since it is straight and not slanted? - AsianFLS (talk) 18:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Quotation marks vs. italics
Is there a reference that mentions how TV series titles and TV episode titles are supposed to be displayed? I saw you effectively reverted my changes on the template {{Knight Rider}}. Also, are you at all related to former Major League Baseball player Dave Dravecky? Allen (talk) 21:26, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, there is a reference: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles Also, that's common styling for almost every English-language style guide with which I am familiar. No, "cousin" Dave and I are not related in any biologically meaningful way, although I did get to meet him once on a book tour. (My user page lists several other Draveckys who I am not, if you're interested.) - Dravecky (talk) 23:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing that up. I think I was getting that confused with the album vs. song title issue.
- Where on your page is the Dravecky list? Allen (talk) 01:53, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- In the "About me" section, in the paragraph that begins "For the record". - Dravecky (talk) 13:02, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
