List of contributors[edit]

I don't think the long list of contributors, many red-linked, with no annotations, adds anything useful to the article. I propose to delete that section, if no one objects.. DES (talk) 16:02, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need for secondary/independant sources[edit]

Currently all references seem to be to the Atlantic Free Press itself, or to sites that distribute it. These are all primary sources in this context. The policy WP:V says: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The policy section WP:PSTS (part of WP:OR) says: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources, though primary sources are permitted if used carefully." and "Do not make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims about material found in a primary source. Do not base articles entirely on primary sources." Currently this article seems to me to violate those policies. Secondary sources -- other people writing about the Atlantic Free Press -- are urgently needed. DES (talk) 16:12, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference format[edit]

Currently all references are URLs plus descriptions. I think that using the {{cite web}} citation template would be better. I also would like to use list-defined references Does anyone object to either idea? DES (talk) 16:16, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The conversion to use of citation templates is now underway. Note that when using {{cite web}}, the |title= parameter should show the actual page title or story title obn the cited web page, leaving the |work= and |publisher= parameters to show its affiliation. Note aslo that for a web site the |accessdate= parameter should always be supplied -- it is the date the page was viewed by the person citing it. The |date= parameter and |author= or |last= and |first= parameters should be supplied whenever that information is available.

Popular articles[edit]

The "Popular articles" section currently says "Atlantic Free Press's most popular articles from the 2006-2008 period[citation needed] are..." followed by a list of several articles. The citation link to the specific articles listed, but nothing shows that these are in fact the most popular articles or who determined this or how. Such a citation is needed or this must go.
