An article was created at the page Kristian Foden-Vencil. Can this article be copied/pasted/incorporated into this main OPB article? It appears Kristian Foden-Vencil does not meet WP:GNG guidelines. If his biography is not appropriate here on the OPB page, it will be removed and made a simple redirect. I don't want to just dump the information onto this page. thanks —Gaff ^ταλκ 17:28, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone opposed to me making a section dedicated to podcasts? There are separate pages for Bundyville and Timber Wars, but neither of them are mentioned here. Searching for OPB on podcasting apps pulls up quite a few other podcasts that have been produced by OPB such as Think Out Loud, OPB Politics Now, Relative Fiction, This Land is Our Land, State of Wonder, and OPB Music. Assuming a few sources could be found for each of them perhaps we could include short entries about them. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I've omitted the domain, since we don't allow external links in the body. By the way, I would advise against copying from the source rather than the article itself, so it'll be easier for us to edit.
Also, when formatting talk page requests, don't put in line breaks; put in a second-level heading, like this: === Section title === ⸺(Random)staplers 23:13, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Jdbauxt Another reason why you shouldn't put in page breaks: it breaks our tools. By the way, if you ever encounter an issue or a mistake in the future, make sure to @ me.⸺(Random)staplers 23:17, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Randomstaplers Thanks for the tip on line breaks!

Regarding copying from source vs the article itself: Is this to retain formatting?

Also, should this thread be moved up to the previous section (before the last line break) since that is the relevant request?

Sorry for any missteps; learning as I go here :)

Thanks!

jdbauxt (talk) 01:09, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Jdbauxt Don't worry about this section; all the edit requests here are done. All I'm saying is if you want to open a new edit request, you should do it in a new section with "===". As for copying, the reason why you should copy the source is because I can't ensure links are preserved without manually typing out your changes, which is time-consuming.⸺(Random)staplers 01:13, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for having a look. Please note I had previously submitted another COI edit request (still active) to remove the bulleted list of awards in History/21st century section. The thinking is that instead of listing all the awards ever won by OPB, we would simply give a good general representation here along with a link out to a more comprehensive list. With that in mind, what do you suggest? jdbauxt (talk) 06:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jdbauxt I am joining this a little late after running across Agnes in another context. My suggestion would be to focus on national journalism awards, such as the Peabody (you have one, from 2009) and duPont–Columbia (you have one, also from 2009). This will reduce the massive cruft that any other use of awards would represent. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
