I'll take this review. Please respond to comments with {{done}}, {{not done}}, etc. Note that I may make some suggestions that are beyond the GA criteria - my aim is to make the article as good as possible - but I will only pass/fail based on the criteria.

@Sammi Brie: Good work on this article. Just one ref error plus some suggestions. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: All done. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 16:23, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Excellent - passing now. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:25, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Infobox and lede

• I recommend using {{start date}} rather than {{start date and age}}; for most purposes other than ongoing events, the age is not important enough for the infobox.
  •  Done Go yell at Mvcg.
    • Doesn't seem to be changed.
• I'm confused about the "owner" field in the infobox - from the prose, it sounds like Greater Cincinnati Television Educational Foundation is associated with WCET, not WPTO
  •  Not done The license is held by them, so that won't change. Basically, Public Media Connect is one organization that has two sub-brands: CET (WCET) and ThinkTV (WPTD and WPTO).
• Link to CUF, Cincinnati (when discussing the transmitter location)
  •  Done

History

• Reuse the same footnote that appears in the infobox about the first air date
  •  Done
• I'd recommend splitting the first sentence in two, and reversing the order to talk about the closed-circuit telecast that preceded broadcasting.
  •  Done
• I recommend creating the redirect WMUB-TV and bolding its first use in this article per MOS:BOLDREDIRECT
  • The fact the redirect didn't exist is stunning. But we've been moving away from bolding every single call sign that appears in an article in recent years.
• Specify which station to run that station refers to
  •  Done Changes to here: Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 02:21, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
• Several sentences in the first paragraph under "Split programming" are confusing; I think it needs rewritten a tad for clarity. I'm particularly confused by the two stations split for fewer than 10 programs
  •  Done
• The final sentence is unclear - on May 1, 2020, did WPTO resume full power broadcasting, or something else?
  •  Done

Subchannels

• Again, link CUF
• The second sentence should be split in two for readability

References

All reference numbers are from this version.

• Ref 2 could use additional parameters (publisher, ISBN, etc) if available.
  •  Done Believe it or not, this is the first time I've put an ISBN on this source.
• Refs 4 and 34 could use an access date
  •  Not done Special cases as these are database sources that update. [4] is actually dynamically generated by the infobox.
• Ref 25 has an error
  •  Done
• Refs 8, 13, 21, 28, and 34 were checked for verification. All passed except ref 28, which mentions WPTD but not WPTO. I think ref 29 is sufficient for that claim if you're not able to find another source.
  •  Done Removed. I must have copied from WPTD, where it'd belong.

Overall

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
