From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

total rewrite

first, thanks to Montydavis and 69.1.41.205 for contributing this article. i've done a total rewrite to bring the piece more in line with wikipedia's practices and standards, notably:

  • formatting. indentation on wikipedia results in ugly pink boxes. i know this doesn't "make sense" as far as the general theories of markup go, but that's the way it is.
  • first person. as an ecncycolpedia we avoid use of first person
  • no marketing speak. some of the sentences added to this article sounded like they were written originally by the station's marketing department. specifically, stuff like "As the Charleston area continues to grow, you can be assured that WJRB plans to be there every step of the way". as a sentence that contains no facts, and reads like ad copy, it has limited use on wikipedia.

so, after my edits, the article is a lot shorter but, i think, better. frymaster 14:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC) reply
