Talk:42d Attack Squadron

Citation to Las Vegas paper.
This citation is a violation of copyright. Copyright law requires giving credit to the author of a work (even if the license associated with the copyright is held by a corporation). There is no credit here for the author of the article in the paper (nor is there a mention of the work -- only of the page of the paper where it is located). As a minimum, the citation ought to include something like: Smith, John, Local Squadron gets new drone.
 * Correcting the citation appears impossible. First (ironically) the paper's online archives extend back to April 2007 and the date given for article is in March 2007.  I tried googling it several different ways -- if you can come up with a search that brings the articl up, I'd prefer correcting the citation to removing it, but I can't find the information I need on the web, and I don't live near Las Vegas.


 * Full (or at least partial) disclosure: I also see the link to a Wikipedia Article in the citation, not to the reference as (unintentional/good faith) misleading. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Many small news articles don't get a byline; they don't indicate the author's name (see 7th Infantry Division). However, this doesn't have a title either. What I will do is place the partial citation in the 'Further reading' section, because if we remove the partial citation from the article entirely, no-one even if they live in Las Vegas can ever look up the full details!!
