 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

Kamuzu Academy
I'm not sure what the current policy for "school" articles is, but this one certainly doesn't establish notability in its present form. --Alan Au 05:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The policy is not to nominate school's to VfD, since they will be kept. On principal I vote Keep. Klonimus 06:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, there's no policy. There is a policy proposal that attempts a compromise and suggests merging rather than VfD'ing, especially since (real) high school articles are almost never deleted. See WP:SCH for the debate and guidelines. This article though, in its curent form, has basically no no content (4 words!) and so is basically speediable. I'll just wait for someone to expand it, since that's what usually happens when schools come here. --Dmcdevit·t 07:53, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Policy is established by practice. In practice there have been no significant school deletions for three months now.  It isn't worth listing them for deletion--much easier to just clean them up. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Please don't nominate any more school articles, as it just is a waste of time to do so. CalJW 21:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please it is our policy to keep these and also what jim wants Yuckfoo 21:45, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Aardvark --Carnildo 23:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Bicycle, for the usual reasons. —RaD Man (talk) 00:09, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article was listed for deletion just ten minutes after being created.  The briefest search shows that the head of the school has been awarded an MBE for his work there, it has been called the Eton of Africa, that a BBC documentary was made about the school, and that the then head of Eton school was so impressed that he said that henceforth Eton should be known as "The Kamuzu of England.  It really is the last school to list for deletion, and anyone could have saved us this discussion simply by googling and expanding instead of listing for deletion.  We, after all, supposed to be editors.  --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:41, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Consider me sufficiently chastized. Would pointing to WP:SCH have been so difficult? (BTW, thank you Dmcdevit!) Geez, tough crowd. :( --Alan Au 04:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It's nice to have a member of Category:Schools in Malawi. Kappa 10:56, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Wikipedia schools arguments.-Poli (talk • contribs) 20:44, 2005 July 27 (UTC)
 * Keep given that it seems to be the most elite school in the country, albeit an LEDC. Dunc|☺ 11:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Please don't list schools. It's very tiresome to have to vote "keep" on all of them when the reasons for keeping or deleting are the same in each instance. Grace Note 00:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Intresting Ayyavazhi Family
Hai Aarnepolkusin, there are intresting articles about Ayyavazhi, a new religion on both mythology and religiosity. Wikipedia is rich with this topic in English, but poor in other languages. Since french is a leading language in Wikipedia it is better to translate the contents on this AYYAVAZHI family to french. - Paul Raj

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharon Owens

A tag has been placed on Sharon Owens, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ~llywelyn 16:34, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Magnet thetourniquet.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Magnet thetourniquet.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse

Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse is a cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera and originally aired as a segment on the 1964–66 cartoon The Magilla Gorilla Show.

Plot
The show features a hillbilly cat called Punkin' Puss (voiced by Allan Melvin) who lives in a house in the woods of the southern US. Punkin' is preoccupied with a hillbilly mouse called Mushmouse (voiced by Howard Morris) who lives there too, and Punkin' frequently tries to shoot him with his rifle. In many cartoons, one of Mushmouse's cousins visits and gives Punkin' Puss a hard time. They are similar to a hillbilly Tom and Jerry chase series.

The "Nowhere Bear" has Punkin' Puss continually disrupting an angry bear's sleep. The episode "Small Change" has Punkin' Puss (and later a dog as well) shrinking to mouse size.

Voice cast
The voice cast included:
 * Allan Melvin - Punkin' Puss
 * Howard Morris - Mushmouse

Image copyright problem with Image:Stroud.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Stroud.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

Speedy deletion of Guillaume Balay
A tag has been placed on Guillaume Balay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. скоморохъ 05:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Altona (tavern)

 * The name Altona come from an old farm in Bergen. In Bergen byleksikon, which is a comprehensive encyclopedia about Bergen, the tavern is not even mentioned. Yes it exists, but I can't see that it is notable. See

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Headhunter (novel)

Headhunter is a novel by Timothy Findley. It was first published by HarperCollins in 1993.

Plot summary
The novel is set in a dystopic Toronto, Ontario buffeted by a mysterious plague called sturnusemia, which is believed to be carried by starlings. Against this backdrop Lilah Kemp, a schizophrenic spiritualist "of intense but undisciplined powers", accidentally sets Kurtz free from page 92 of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and is forced to find a Marlow to defeat him.

Kurtz becomes head of the Parkin Psychiatric Institute (based on the real Clarke Institute of Psychiatry) and travels among the city's elites, including a "Club of Men" which is in fact a child pornography ring. Marlow, meanwhile, is a staff psychiatrist at the Parkin.

Although the reader is clearly meant to see the parallels between Findley's Kurtz and Marlow and Conrad's original characters, the book is deliberately ambiguous about whether Lilah Kemp has really performed this act of literary magic, or is merely crazy enough to think she has.

Reception
Ellen Datlow praised Headhunter as "suspenseful, dark, twisted, and complex."

The novel was the winner of the Toronto Book Award in 1994.

Talk:List of mayors of Calgary

Untitled
I think the List of mayors of Vancouver is a lot more organized and clean. As just a suggestion I think we should consider reformatting this list to a similar format. Ideas anyone? --Zippanova 05:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I am okay with it being either a bulleted list or a table. So, if you want to switch it, go right ahead.  Note that I do not believe that Calgary has ever used political party affiliations in elections, which is one of the columns in the Vancouver list.  As a side note, we probably would have had a few different results: Calgary tends to vote conservative in provincial and federal politics, but has had a few Liberal mayors recently.  If you do switch, please do not reduce the dates to just the year.  I believe that the actual dates of tenure is valueable information.  -- JamesTeterenko 05:30, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I made it into a table keeping the dates. -- User:Docu

Copyright and links
I have reverted the edits by, &  which I assume are the same user. I have two main reason for this: -- JamesTeterenko 19:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The links being re-inserted are not the links to the actual articles of the mayors. For example James A. Reilly is the link to the article about the mayor, James Reilly is a disambiguation page for multiple people with that name.
 * A list of mayors is not something that needs to be taken verbatim from a specific "copyrighted" source. You may have used a specific source to update the list, and it is great that you were able to fill in a few missing dates.  However, the original information was obviously not derived from the source you listed, as it would have had that missing information.

 * I have reverted the change again from . Please discuss your edit here.  You may want to review Disambiguation to understand why the link should be to James A. Reilly and not James Reilly.  Or you may just want to click on those links and see where you actually end up.  -- JamesTeterenko 22:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This reversion continues without any edit summary or explanation on this talk page. I assume that you do not believe that James Reilly's middle initial is A.  If you want to see a reference that refers to him with this initial, see here.  This is a description from the Canadian Archival Information Network about a fond held at the archives at the Glenbow Museum.  Although it for a collection from James Emmett Reilly, it refers to his uncle, James A. Reilly, who became mayor of Calgary.  I believe that this is a reliable source.  -- JamesTeterenko 19:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The link should certainly go to James A. Reilly to avoid the redirect, though if it's that much of an issue, it could be pipelined so that it looks like James Reilly. If the reverts do not stop, the anonymous user may be up for a block, either for WP:VAND or WP:3RR. --Scott Wilson 23:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your opinion. I have added the pipe in the hope that this satisfies the anonymous user.  If you haven't done so, please this page to your watch list.  I doubt there too many active wikipedians watching this page, which is why I asked for the 3rd opinion.  -- JamesTeterenko 00:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Edit request from 72.25.192.4, 10 June 2011
It is really small wonder that so many of us give up in frustraton trying to navigate the complex web of how and where to contact the proper person for editorial remedy.

In this case, it seems utterly ridiculous, outrageous and offensive that some would-be "smart person" keeps restoring the error every time it is corrected; and now it is frozen "in situ" with a block preventing further correction. I regard this as a flagrant example of vandalism, yet I feel as though I am being treated as the vandal.

In reference to the List of Mayors of Calgary, to which I have made many improvements, Mayor James Reilly keeps showing up incorrectly as James A. Reilly. Please note that his christening record in Quebec indicates no other name than James. His marriage registration in Quebec indicates no other name. His death certificate in British Columbia indicates no other name. His tombstone at Calgary indicates no other name. His biographies and even his obituaries indicate no other name. None of his property deeds indicate any other name. Civic documents, Council Minutes, Nomination Papers, Civic Election results and signed Oaths of Office indicate no other name. His signature indicates no other name. Even his own relatives know of no other name. Never at any time does anything indicate any other name, save one single source, the newspaper report of the results of an election in the Calgary area of the North West Territories, which he lost. This is scarcely the most authoritative source.

This error has obviously been picked up by and crept into records (such as those of the Glenbow) along the way. The City of Calgary Archives does not accept it. I am sure the City Archives will tell you that I have a deeper knowledge of these matters than most anyone. I am also certain that if I were to point out these facts, my contacts at the Glenbow would take the issue seriously as well.

In my studied opinion this singular error may result from any of several causes. Amongst these might be included: (1) the possibility that this is a different James Reilly, (admittedly highly improbable); (2) an absent minded blunder either by an electoral official, or by a newspaper reporter, editor or typesetter, either accidentally or because, even back then, just as now, some know-it-all thought he knew better; or (3) the receiving of a "Confirmation Name", which is a new name added upon Confirmation into the Roman Catholic Church. In the latter case this would not normally be recognised or appear in any other situation or for any official purpose, and all the more so in view of his subsequent eschewal of Roman Catholicism.

I think the weight of the preponderance of evidence above should establish once and for all that there is insufficient justification to ascribe to Mayor Reilly any given forename apart from James, and that the one source from which various others have since accorded him one, is far too flimsy to outweigh all the evidence to the contrary. This reasoning hardly constitutes vandalism, as the obstinate perpetuation of the error would seem instead to do.

72.25.192.4 (talk) 23:02, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * If this was the problem, then why didn't you say anything the edit summary? It looks like vandalism when you change the link from the proper article, to James Reilly, a disambiguation page. You should have actually taken this up on Talk:James A. Reilly, this list just links to the article, and assumes it has the correct title. 117Avenue (talk) 00:38, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

KOAT-TV

KOAT-TV (channel 7) is a television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, affiliated with ABC. Owned by Hearst Television, the station maintains studios on Carlisle Boulevard in Northeast Albuquerque, and its transmitter is located on Sandia Crest, northeast of Albuquerque. 27 repeaters carry its broadcast signal to much of New Mexico as well as southwestern Colorado and northeastern Arizona.

KOAT-TV was the second station to broadcast in Albuquerque, signing on in October 1953 as one of two new TV stations in the city in the same month. It suffered financial difficulty twice in its first four years of operation, though ownership by Clinton D. McKinnon and the Steinman Stations group steadied operations. KOAT-TV's newscasts have generally led the Albuquerque–Santa Fe market in viewership since the mid-1970s.

Early years
After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lifted its four-year freeze on television station licenses in 1952, channels 7 and 13 were authorized for commercial use in Albuquerque in addition to the existing KOB-TV (channel 4). Among the various interests whose applications had languished at the FCC prior to the freeze was the Alvarado Broadcasting Company, owner of radio station KOAT (1450 AM). The original application had specified channel 13, but this was changed to 7, This took it out of competition with KGGM, which had also filed for channel 13. Another application had also been filed for channel 7, by E. John and Salome Greer of Santa Fe, but by February 1953, E. John Greer had died. The Greer interests withdrew on June 16, 1953, leaving Alvarado unopposed. Two days later, on June 18, the FCC granted Alvarado a construction permit for KOAT-TV.

Work began within two weeks to enlarge the KOAT radio studios at 122 Tulane SE to accommodate the television extension, including adding a kitchen studio, and on a transmitter site on Ten Mile Hill, west of Albuquerque. KOAT-TV also arranged to match its sister radio station by affiliating with the ABC television network. Meanwhile, a minority stake in KOAT-TV was sold to two new investors.

KOAT-TV was scheduled to start on September 15, but the launch date was missed when factory inspectors and a critical piece of equipment failed to arrive on time. KOAT-TV beat KGGM-TV (channel 13, now KRQE) in being the first station to air when it began broadcasting on October 2, 1953; channel 13 followed two days later. Beginning in 1954 until the network's dissolution, KOAT-TV was the Albuquerque-area affiliate of the DuMont Television Network, displacing KOB-TV.

Alvarado sold its two radio stations—KOAT and KRSN in Los Alamos—in October 1954. Financial difficulty was evinced by the fact that KOAT had cut all but one live local show from its schedule. Six months later, in April 1955, KOAT-TV filed for bankruptcy reorganization in a plan that brought in 20 new stockholders and saw Albuquerque Exhibitors, a movie theater owner that had bought a stake in the station prior to launch, become the largest stockholder in the venture. Even while in bankruptcy, the station applied to the FCC to relocate its transmitter to Sandia Crest, which already was the home of KOB-TV and KGGM-TV. The FCC granted approval in May 1956, allowing construction of a tower at the site.

McKinnon and Steinman ownership
The reorganization in 1955 was ultimately unsuccessful at repairing KOAT-TV's financial condition. Just as the Internal Revenue Service filed a tax lien on KOAT-TV, Clinton D. McKinnon, a former U.S. congressman from California and owner of KVOA radio and KVOA-TV in Tucson, Arizona, came to the station's rescue by buying it for $12,500 plus the assumption of debts. At the time, KOAT's liabilities exceeded its assets by some $150,000. The FCC approved the next month. McKinnon merged the holding companies for KVOA-TV and KOAT-TV in 1959, under a contract that called for McKinnon to resign if Alvarado Television lost money in six consecutive months.

KOAT-TV unsuccessfully suggested that channel 2 in Santa Fe be jointly assigned to both cities or to Albuquerque so it could move there. KOAT had desired channel 2 to improve its coverage in fringe areas from Albuquerque, and McKinnon had previously protested an attempt by a proposed Santa Fe station to locate its transmitter on Sandia Crest.

In the last years of McKinnon ownership, KOAT-TV constructed a private microwave relay system from Albuquerque to Phoenix in order to connect with ABC, said to be the longest such system in private ownership in the United States, and it began work on new facilities on University Boulevard on Albuquerque's northeast side which were twice the size of the original facilities on Tulane. However, while construction was ongoing, several of the partners in Alvarado, in ill health and wishing to liquidate their holdings, pushed McKinnon to sell Alvarado Television. KVOA-TV and KOAT-TV were sold to Steinman Stations of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, headed by Clair McCollough, for $3.5 million, with FCC approval coming in January 1963.

Pulitzer and Hearst ownership
Steinman owned the Albuquerque station for five years before selling it in 1968 to the Pulitzer Publishing Company, publishers of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and owners of KSD radio and KSD-TV in that city, for $5 million; the FCC granted approval for the transaction in 1969. Steinman had previously sold Pulitzer KVOA-TV in Tucson earlier in the year.

Pulitzer invested in new facilities for the station to facilitate expansion. In 1978, it sold its existing studios on University to Albuquerque radio stations KRZY and KRST and announced it would construct a larger facility at the intersection of Carlisle and Comanche, more than twice the size of the University building and with more convenient freeway access and a larger parking area. The resulting structure, designed by Albuquerque architect Antoine Predock, began construction in 1979 and was completed in July 1980. It also features an on-site helipad, enabling the station to keep a news helicopter at its studios instead of at the airport. Pulitzer received several unsolicited offers but categorically refused to sell KOAT-TV because of its strong performance: company executive Ray Karpowicz noted, "Under no circumstances would we even consider selling it."

In 1991, KOAT opened a news bureau in Roswell with the capability to add regional news, weather, and advertising inserts into the feed of KOAT seen on cable systems and translators in southeastern New Mexico.

Hearst-Argyle acquired the entirety of Pulitzer's broadcasting holdings in 1998.

News operation

After back-and-forth competition between KOB-TV and KOAT-TV in the late 1960s and early 1970s, 1976 proved to be a watershed year for the station's news ratings. That year, KOAT took a definitive lead as having the most-watched newscasts in the region, having erased a 14-point rating lead that KOB-TV had held in 1971. The station boasted high stability in news anchor talent during this time, with news anchor Dick Knipfing—who had been with KOAT since 1964—and weather forecaster Howard Morgan, who worked at the station from 1971 to 1999. In 1979, KOB-TV lured away Knipfing, leading to a lawsuit seeking to get him out of a non-compete clause in his contract with KOAT. KOAT then moved to fire Knipfing, who contended the non-compete clause expired with his contract on July 31, 1979, instead of remaining in effect for one year. Knipfing won the case and started on time at KOB. KOAT managed to remain in first place despite losing its star anchorman, though the gap was narrowed between the top two stations. The move never had the intended goal of displacing KOAT from its number-one position, and KOB ousted Knipfing in 1986; in an interview with The Albuquerque Tribune, Knipfing cited the talent stability and quality at KOAT for keeping that station in the lead. Knipfing then joined KGGM-TV's news team in 1987 before returning to KOAT two years later.

Knipfing's first posting upon his return was anchoring a new 5 p.m. newscast, the station's third attempt at an earlier evening news program, which debuted in March 1990. In 1994, KOAT debuted its morning newscast, Good Morning New Mexico (later rebranded as Action 7 News Live This Morning and now Action 7 News More in the Morning). However, KOB and KRQE each improved their news products during the 1990s, allowing them to close the gap on KOAT.

After the Hearst purchase, the station saw the retirements of Morgan and Johnny Morris (after a 21-year run with KOAT), as well as Knipfing's second departure in 2000.

KOAT has generally remained the market news leader since; by 2022, it led or was competitive in every major daypart. Since September 20, 2021, KOAT has streamed its newscasts, as well as other locally produced content, on Very Local, an over-the-top media service operated by Hearst Television.

Former satellite stations
KOAT-TV formerly operated three satellite stations, which rebroadcast its signal and added local content for other parts of the broadcast market:

In 1993, KOAT purchased the then-KVIO-TV (channel 6) from Marsh Media, owner of KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas. The station had operated as a satellite of an ABC station since 1966 and of the El Paso station since 1969. The move expanded the reach of KOAT-TV and made it the only ABC affiliate serving southeastern New Mexico.

Hearst-Argyle surrendered the license of KOFT to the FCC effective November 13, 2007, though its license was not canceled until May 6, 2010. Hearst then informed the FCC on July 18, 2012, that it would discontinue the operations of KOCT and KOVT; their licenses were canceled on August 1. The move was made to eliminate the need to maintain the KOCT and KOVT public files in their respective cities due to FCC regulations which went into effect on that date; they were replaced on those channels with translator station licenses (in Silver City, at reduced power).

Image Tagging Image:Callmegeno.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Callmegeno.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Argument in the alternative

Originating in the legal profession, argument in the alternative is a strategy in which a lawyer advances several competing (and possibly mutually exclusive) arguments in order to pre-empt objections by his adversary, with the goal of showing that regardless of interpretation there is no reasonable conclusion other than the advocate's. The notion is closely related to alternative pleading, and the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

Bart Simpson's classic "I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything!" could be considered a somewhat humorous example of an argument in the alternative. In a more serious example, a lawyer might argue, not only that his client was elsewhere when a murder or other crime took place, but also that even if he had been on the scene, he would have had no way of accessing the alleged murder weapon. In this way, the lawyer attacks several premises of the prosecution's argument at once. The secondary line of reasoning might be presented to persuade a sub-audience who would not otherwise agree with the primary argument.

In regards to contract law, arguing in the alternative is done where a dispute arises over the terms of a contract. In a particular case it may be best for the plaintiff to allege that a statement made was to become a term of the contract. However the circumstances of the case may be such that the plaintiff cannot be certain that the court will accept this argument. To allow for this possibility, all the plaintiff need do is to argue in the alternative that the statement was in fact a representation (which allows for remedies based on misrepresentation) or again in the alternative that the statement became a part of a collateral contract.

Occasionally, such arguments can be confusing to some people, who perceive a self-contradiction or lack of honesty. Generally speaking, this is a case of mistakenly thinking the argument claims both alternatives are true, when in reality it is claiming only that one or the other of them must be. But arguing in the alternative certainly heightens the complexity of any given presentation.

Talk:Salpointe Catholic High School

VFD results
This article has survived a VFD nomination with the result of Keep. --Allen3 talk 16:20, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Under alumni, I removed Mr. Tocci because the entry stated that he scored 31 touchdowns in one season. My reasons are twofold. 1. For what team, when??? Was it while he was at SCHS or in college? 2. Why mention him and not any other Salpointe athletes? If it is noteworthy it should be added to a SCHS Athletics page. malatesta 07:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Objectivity?
This page seems to manage to skirt by with little to no sources. While it isn't by any means over glorifying, it certainly seems to do a lot of pandering for something that should be strictly factual.

It could also use an entire section for discussing the controversial manditory drug testing changes, complete with links to relevant information. Ironically one of the "selling points" of the school is missing. --69.39.23.189 06:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I would tend to agree - the article needs to cite its sources and be much more objective. I feel Salpointe is a good school (I am an alumnus) but this article needs to be to the point and contain more history and fewer statements like "While the school remains open to those who would not describe their religious beliefs as "Roman Catholic," the Salpointe mission and academic environment place gospel values at the forefront of Salpointe's pedagogical endeavors." --Danesparza 16:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree one hundred percent. Julie198 13:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The athletics section needs to be more objective, and cite sources. The statement "Salpointe's golf, soccer, football, basketball, tennis, and swimming teams are perennially strong in their region. And indeed, it is normal in a given year for nearly all of the Salpointe teams to perform at the top of their region." should be re-written or removed. -- Danesparza 16:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Should the important students who changed the school in different ways or left a mark be added on here? I wont name any right now but people in the past and now who have done something big. Julie198 13:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Notable alumni
Notable alumni needs cleaning. Several are false, while others are not really "notable" 71.226.41.66 (talk) 21:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've done some cleanup on it as well as placing an html comment laying out guidelines. If you're aware of others still on the list please let someone know or even just fix it yourself. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 21:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Salpointe logo.png
Image:Salpointe logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Wessex sboxes
Hi -- I see you've added a couple of succession boxes to Wessex kings. I reverted the one at Ine of Wessex with what I hope was an explanatory note; when I saw you'd done others I thought I'd say something here and get your opinion. I think the Monarch template covers the sbox and makes it a bit redundant. Do you think it's really worth adding? Mike Christie (talk) 01:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I was simply completing the set as the articles on the later kings all seem to have them. --SeaFox (talk) 01:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, fair enough. Wouldn't it also be possible to remove the later ones, if the argument for removing them is reasonable?  I'll delete the one on Caedwalla, unless you object; I don't think it's really necessary.  Thanks for the explanation. Mike Christie (talk) 09:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be something to bring up with the editors who regularly maintain those pages (is there a Wikiproject Monarchs and Kings? ^^) I was actually just trying to trace back to see who the earliest known "King of England" was that there was information on for my own amusement/scholarly interest. Of course, I eventually found I was no longer in a time period "England' existed in and was looking at Kingdoms of the British Isles instead. I decided to follow the path of Wessex, then the Succession boxes I'd been following vanished. --SeaFox (talk) 10:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You might be interested in Template:English_Monarchs in that case, though what it contains is subject to a good deal of debate. The earliest king listed there is Ælle of Sussex, who may not even have existed, and who, even if he did exist, definitely did not rule all of what's now called England.  He's listed as a bretwalda in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, though, which is why he was added to that template.  As usual it depends what you mean.  If you want the earliest king who ruled over all the English in England who weren't under foreign rule, that would be Alfred the Great.  If you want the first king who ruled all of what's now England as a direct ruler, without subkings, that would be one of Alfred's descendants (my post-Alfred history is hazy but it might have been his son Edward the Elder).
 * I went ahead and removed the succession box on Cædwalla, but I'll leave the others unless I get interested in editing them directly. I don't think it's necessary to be a regular editor of an article to make a change like that, though of course it's always sensible to check with them since they'll know the subject matter.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

KRQE

KRQE (channel 13) is a television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, affiliated with CBS and Fox. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, it is sister to Santa Fe–licensed CW affiliate KWBQ (channel 19) and MyNetworkTV affiliate KASY-TV (channel 50), both owned by Mission Broadcasting with certain services provided by Nexstar through shared services agreements. The three stations share studios on Broadcast Plaza in Albuquerque; KRQE's transmitter is located on Sandia Crest, east of Albuquerque.

History
Channel 13 began operation in October 1953 as KGGM-TV, owned by the Hebenstreit family's New Mexico Broadcasting Company along with KGGM radio (610 AM, now KNML). In the late 1960s, the Hebenstreits sold a minority share to Chicago's Harriscope Broadcasting, which at one point owned WSNS-TV in Chicago (among other stations). Many early Westerns were filmed, at least partially, at KGGM. The large studio that it used was renovated in 2000 into KRQE's "Newsplex", a combination newsroom and news studio.

KGGM talent Earnest "Stretch" Scherer, known as Captain Billy, came over to the station from KOB in the mid-1950s; he hosted a children's show called Captain Billy's Clubhouse. The format was a kids' peanut gallery on bleachers holding about 50 seats with games and banter between cartoons, à la Bozo's Circus. Captain Billy was a sea captain with a Dutch boy white haircut sticking out from under a sea Captain's hat and big brush moustache.

On October 26, 1972, Scherer was shot in the station's lobby by the husband of a volunteer for the local cut-ins of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, who had perceived Scherer wrapping an arm around the woman as a flirting attempt which angered the husband. He died of his injuries on December 18, and the man was committed to the New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute in Las Vegas, New Mexico, as he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder caused from his World War II service. He escaped and fled to Arizona, remaining there until his death in 1991 as extradition to New Mexico was refused by those authorities.

Among many alumni at KGGM/KRQE is Ray Rayner, formerly a children's television personality at WGN-TV in Chicago; he "retired" to Albuquerque in 1980 and became the weather presenter for KGGM-TV's newscasts for five years in the early 1980s.

After having sold off KGGM radio in 1973, the Hebenstreits sold 42 percent of KGGM-TV to Lee Enterprises in 1985. The New Mexico Broadcasting Company acquired semi-satellite KBIM-TV (channel 10) in Roswell, which had until that time operated independently as a CBS affiliate, for $5 million in 1989. The purchase created financial strains on the Hebenstreits, who opted to sell their remaining shares to Lee in 1991. Citing the station's perceived reputation as a perennial third-place news outlet, Lee changed the call letters—at Andrew Hebenstreit's suggestion—to KRQE on September 7, 1992. However, the name "New Mexico Broadcasting Company" continued on the station's license well into the 21st century.

In January 1995, KRQE became a secondary affiliate of both UPN and The WB, running their programming on weekend overnights. Both networks moved to KASY-TV (channel 50) when it signed on that October, with KRQE running KASY under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Ramar Communications. Ramar sold KASY to ACME Communications, owner of KWBQ, in 1999, and the LMA with KRQE was dissolved.

Lee would eventually exit broadcasting and sold KRQE, along with most of the rest of its group, to Emmis Communications in 2000. In 2005, Emmis, in its own exit from television, sold the station to LIN TV Corporation in a group deal that included sister stations WLUK-TV in Green Bay, WALA-TV and WBPG in Mobile–Pensacola, and WTHI-TV in Terre Haute. In 2006, LIN announced its purchase of Raycom Media-owned Fox affiliate KASA-TV, which KRQE took control of on September 15. LIN's acquisition of KASA was finalized on February 22, 2007. The acquisition earned LIN TV criticism from area newspapers for the resulting layoffs, as well as what the Albuquerque Objectivist newspaper in October 2006 referred to as the creation of a local "news empire" in KRQE.

KBIM-TV in Roswell signed on in February 1966 as the CBS affiliate for Southeastern New Mexico, replacing former CBS affiliate KAVE-TV in Carlsbad, New Mexico, which became an ABC affiliate (eventually becoming KOCT, a satellite of rival KOAT-TV). KBIM became a KGGM/KRQE satellite in 1990. KREZ-TV (channel 6) in Durango, Colorado, began operations September 15, 1963, as KJFL-TV, a free-standing local independent station owned by Jeter Telecasting; it went off the air after its facilities were destroyed in a February 1964 fire, and the station was sold, rebuilt and returned to the air on September 9, 1965, as KREZ-TV, a satellite of CBS affiliate KREX-TV (channel 5) in Grand Junction, Colorado. KREZ operated as such for nearly 30 years (with many attempts at regional news along the way) before becoming a KRQE satellite in 1995. A deal to sell KREZ to Native American Broadcasting, LLC was reached in April 2011; upon the sale's completion, KREZ was to become a full-scale independent station (with plans for extensive local programming), and change its call letters to KSWZ-TV. However,, the sale has not been completed, and KREZ remains a KRQE satellite.

Following the acquisitions of KBIM and KREZ, in the late 1990s, KRQE branded as "CBS Southwest" in hopes of positioning itself as a regional network. However, this went nowhere, largely because the other stations in the market have long branded themselves by their call letters (even after acquiring or starting their own satellite stations), and in 2000 the station changed its branding to "KRQE News 13".

On May 18, 2007, LIN TV announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives that could have resulted in the sale of the company.

On August 7, 2009, KRQE began offering Mobile TV using BlackBerry.

On March 21, 2014, it was announced that Media General would acquire LIN. The merger was completed on December 19. Just over a year later, on January 27, 2016, it was announced that the Nexstar Broadcasting Group would buy Media General for $4.6 billion. After selling KASA to Ramar Communications, KRQE became part of "Nexstar Media Group." The sale was completed on January 17, 2017.

KRQE-DT2 (Fox New Mexico)
KRQE-DT2, branded Fox New Mexico, is the Fox-affiliated second digital subchannel of KRQE, broadcasting in 720p high definition on channel 13.2.

On January 18, 2017, KRQE-DT2 took over the Fox network affiliation for the Albuquerque market. The subchannel's programming was transferred from Santa Fe-licensed KASA-TV (channel 2), which had been the market's Fox affiliate from 1993 until 2017; KASA, in turn, inherited the Fox affiliation from KGSW-TV (channel 14, now occupied by KTFQ-DT) after that station's owner, the Providence Journal Company), bought the channel 2 license in 1993 (KGSW had been affiliated with Fox since the network's launch in 1986). KASA was sold to Ramar Communications, which changed the station into a Telemundo affiliate.

With the move, KRQE became the largest station by market size to have a subchannel-only Fox affiliation and the largest by market size to have a dual affiliation with two of the "Big Four" networks. KRQE held this position for nearly four years until January 7, 2021, when Sinclair Broadcast Group moved the intellectual property of Sinclair-controlled WTTE in Columbus, Ohio, to a digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WSYX (which Sinclair owns outright) as part of the Columbus market's adoption of ATSC 3.0.

News operation
Ordinarily, KRQE produces eight hours of local news on weekdays and four hours each weekend day that airs between KRQE and Fox New Mexico, for a total of 48 hours a week. In regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the highest local newscast output among all broadcast television stations in the Albuquerque market (as well as the state of New Mexico) combining the main KRQE channel and Fox New Mexico. The station and its newscasts identify themselves as "KRQE News 13".

According to Nielsen Media Research, the station was long a distant third in the market in terms of local viewership from the 1970s through the 2000s. This was largely because its competitors, KOB-TV and KOAT-TV, were two of their networks' strongest affiliates. In contrast, most CBS affiliates serving large stretches of territory either dominate their markets or are solid runners-up. The station has experienced a resurgence in recent years, however, and now wages a spirited three-way battle for the top spot in the market with KOAT and KOB. Since September 15, 2006, KRQE also produces an hour-long, 9 p.m. newscast for Fox New Mexico on 13.2. Fox New Mexico also airs a 10:35 p.m. newscast.

KBIM-TV offered local newscasts at 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Monday thru Fridays. However, due to budget cuts, the newscasts were canceled in December 2008; KBIM was southeast New Mexico's only source of local news with local news offices in Roswell, Carlsbad and Hobbs for many years. KREZ-TV's local newscasts from Durango were canceled several years earlier by KRQE, also due to budget cuts by the parent company, a move that also eliminated a primary local news source for the Four Corners Region.

On August 8, 2010, KRQE became the first and only station in New Mexico to broadcast their newscasts in true high definition (KRQE newscasts on Fox New Mexico are also in high definition). A new set and new graphics debuted on the first HD broadcast, and KRQE also switched to "The CBS Enforcer Music Collection" theme music package for the HD debut. In 2016, the station dropped "The Enforcer" package in favor of "Locals Only" by Stephen Arnold Music.

On October 24, 2018, KRQE debuted a new state of the art digital set, and also updated its logo, including a CBS logo at the bottom of their current logo.

Newscasts on Fox New Mexico
Debuting on September 16, 2006, Fox New Mexico (then on KASA) airs a one-hour nightly newscast produced by the main KRQE studios. Originally titled News 13 on Fox 2, the newscast was renamed KRQE News 13 at 9 on August 8, 2010, the same evening KRQE began broadcasting all newscasts in true high definition. During Fox New Mexico newscasts, and in cases of breaking news, Fox New Mexico carries Fox News coverage, as it is the Fox affiliate, rather than the CBS News coverage used by KRQE 13.1, the CBS affiliate. Prior to September 16, 2006, KOB-TV produced the newscast, titled Fox 2 News at Nine, for six years.

Since 2015, Fox New Mexico has featured a morning news program simulcast with KRQE 13.1 from 4:30 to 7 a.m. and airs local news from 7 to 9 a.m. when KRQE 13.1 airs CBS Mornings.

Currently, Fox New Mexico airs seven hours of local news each weekday, including 4½ hours in the morning (4:30–9 a.m.), a one-hour 6 p.m. newscast, another hour at 9 p.m., and a 10:35 p.m. broadcast.

New Mexico Living
Since late 2010, Fox New Mexico (then on KASA) has produced the local lifestyle program originally titled New Mexico Style hosted by Nikki Stanzione. In 2014, the show was renamed 2 KASA Style and was hosted by Chad Brummett and Brittany Flowers. In fall 2016, the show was renamed New Mexico Living and added Carmelina Hart as a co-host. After her departure in 2017, Kristen Currie became co-host before her departure in July 2019. Alexa Romero was named permanent co-host with Brummett in August 2019. Airing from 9 to 10 a.m., it covers topics such as food, fashion and local entertainment, along with weather and breaking news. (The show immediately re-airs at 10 a.m. on KWBQ.)

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed: {{legend|#DFEBF6|Broadcast on behalf of another station}}

On February 2, 2016, KRQE added GetTV, a channel that features classic movies from the 1930s to 1960s from Sony Pictures Entertainment, as a subchannel. GetTV was previously shown locally on KUPT-LD channel 16.2 since Fall 2014. GetTV moved to KASY-TV channel 50.3 on January 14, 2017, to make way for Fox programming on January 18. On December 27, 2017, KRQE added Bounce TV on 13.3 as part of Nexstar's overall network deal with Katz Broadcasting that saw their networks spread throughout KRQE, KWBQ and KASY in the market.

Analog-to-digital conversion
KRQE shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 13, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 16 to VHF channel 13.

ATSC 3.0 and 4K TV
The station website has announced that on December 13, 2022, KRQE "will be preparing for the arrival of 4K TV". However, few details have been given as to where the broadcast will be available other than asking viewers to re-scan their TVs to continue to receive some channels in ATSC 1.0. KOAT has filed a notification that it will also be available in ATSC 3.0 on the same date with KASY-TV as the host station.

Satellite stations
These stations rebroadcast KRQE's signal and add local content for other parts of the broadcast market: Note:
 * 1 KREZ was independent station KJFL-TV from 1963 until going dark on March 2, 1964; it returned to the air September 9, 1965, as KREZ-TV, a satellite station of KREX-TV in Grand Junction, Colorado, and remained as such until February 28, 1995. LIN was in the process of selling KREZ to Native American Broadcasting, LLC. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the sale in late May 2011, but Native American Broadcasting never closed on the purchase and the station remains with Nexstar . Nexstar's buyout of Media General reunited KREZ with KREX.

Cession

The act of cession is the assignment of property to another entity. In international law it commonly refers to land transferred by treaty. Ballentine's Law Dictionary defines cession as "a surrender; a giving up; a relinquishment of jurisdiction by a board in favor of another agency." In contrast with annexation, where property is forcibly seized, cession is voluntary or at least apparently so.

Examples
In 1790, the U.S. states of Maryland and Virginia both ceded land to create the District of Columbia, as specified in the U.S. Constitution of the previous year. The Virginia portion was given back in 1847, a process known as "retrocession".

Following the First Opium War (1839–1842) and Second Opium War (1856–1860), Hong Kong (Treaty of Nanking) and Kowloon (Convention of Peking) were ceded by the Qing dynasty government of China to the United Kingdom; and following defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to the Empire of Japan in 1895.

Territory can also be ceded for payment, such as in the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska Purchase.

Contract law
This is a yielding up, or release. France ceded Louisiana to the United States by the treaty of Paris, of April 30, 1803. Spain made a cession of East and West Florida by the treaty of February 22, 1819. Cessions have been severally made of a part of their territory by New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Civil law
Under the civil law system, cession is the equivalent of assignment, and therefore, is an act by which a personal claim is transferred from the assignor (the cedent) to the assignee (the cessionary). Whereas real rights are transferred by delivery, personal rights are transferred by cession. Once the obligation of the debtor is transferred, the cessionary is entirely substituted. The original creditor (cedent) loses his right to claim and the new creditor (cessionary) gains that right.

Ecclesiastical law
When an ecclesiastic is created bishop, or when a parson or rector takes another benefice without dispensation, the first benefice becomes void by a legal cession, or surrender.

Retrocession
Retrocession is the return of something (e.g., land or territory) that was ceded in general or, specifically:

Examples:
 * District of Columbia retrocession, the retrocession to Virginia, and potentially to Maryland, of the land ceded to create the District of Columbia
 * Retrocession of Louisiana (New Spain) from Spain to France, formally accomplished just three weeks before the U.S. received the Louisiana Purchase lands from France

Disputed case

 * The claimed "Taiwan retrocession" refers to the view that the sovereignty of Taiwan has been handed over in 1945 from Japan to the Republic of China, the widely-recognized government of China at the time, following Japan's loss in WWII. Whether this "retrocession" is legitimate under international law is a disputed issue in the complex political status of Taiwan. See also: Taiwan Retrocession Day.

In insurance, retrocessional arrangements generally are governed by a reinsurance or retrocessional agreement and the principles applicable to reinsurance also are applicable to retrocessional cover.
