Rescued deadlinked sources from archive. Clarified the broadcast area: narrowed the text to the very words used on the WLNG website: East Long Island and the Hamptons. Quoted and cited its reported reception area from a separate source. Sourced other unsourced claims with named refs, added attribution as needed. Copyedited the plane crash incident for neutrality, per sources, added attribution. --Lexein (talk) 00:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Brought the lede out, updated the infobox, moved the image of the studios from under the infobox to the left, moved some of the extra external links to a "See also" section, updated the webstream link, and updated some of the external links. - NeutralhomerTalk01:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Three content problems addressed

edit

I think I know what was driving the deletions:

  • "Target market" - a touchy subject, for a variety of reasons. It now matches the current WLNG website.
  • "Advertising" - out of context of the source articles, it read as biased. Rephrased.
  • "Carnival" - not supported by sources; it escaped my attention while fact-checking. It's gone.

I personally want additional independent sources to support the TWA800 reporting claims, eventually, such as news reports from the period about WLNG. --Lexein (talk) 03:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I added new sources (one from a book, the other from a news release from the New York State Broadcasters Association) about the TWA 800 broadcasts. - NeutralhomerTalk20:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Cool book find. Now I understand the carnival reference - that's where Paul was interviewing firefighters, then followed them to the crash scene. Makes sense. Still, best left as written in the article. --Lexein (talk) 01:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I didn't see the need to readd the carnival part to the sentence, seemed like unnecessary information. - NeutralhomerTalk14:42, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok, since that tower isn't the broadcast tower, is it the microwave link to the transmitter tower? --Lexein (talk) 05:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
