Chicago's Very Own[edit]

The news article about Sinclair Broadcast Group striking a deal to purchase Tribune Media can mean only one thing: The WGN-TV slogan "Chicago's Very Own" will be gone...forever. AdamDeanHall (talk) 19:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article reported as a claimed copyvio[edit]

The article WGN-TV has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2019 March 20. --AnhDucYang (talk) 22:12, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An editor added content back in last March in this edit, claiming this article was a copyvio. The linked source in the content contains the mirror of an item listing on eBay, where content in an older version of this article was pasted into an item description of the item listing. The name of the item listed on eBay was 1961 WGN A Pictorial History CHICAGO RADIO & TELEVISION Broadcasting illustrated, but its listing is no longer available because it stayed for a limited time after the item was sold in December 2018.

I later realized that the content originated from Wikipedia. I was notified in June when an admin mentioned my username at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2019 March 20. I apologize for not logging in Wikipedia for months. --AnhDucYang (talk) 00:41, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
