List of newspapers cataloged by the INP
I guess this list possibly warrants it's own article, maybe after a number of the entries have their own article. Either way, should be avoided randomly placed mid-article and doesn't really help in this one.  Nik the  stunned  08:55, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

 * This isn't a very long article and we're trying to add links to the digitized papers as well as link to wikipedia articles about those papers - this seems like the right place to me! Kirk (talk) 13:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Being a short article is no reason to convert it into a list. Seems you should make another article entitled "List of publications catalogued by the Illinois Newspaper Project", which this page would link to. The listed information is not useful to the casual reader about the project and the links you're adding are not appropriate, per WP:LINKFARM. Removing again for this reason.

 * Hello gentlemen! Nik, I'm fine with these changes, though I'll stubbornly add that I do think that the short list of strictly INP titles (we've digitized seven titles) wouldn't be too long, and actually might be useful to our readers. Also, I see that you've removed some external links as well. Wouldn't a link to the library that is working on this project, as well as one to our other digitized newspaper holdings be useful to the article/user?TracyNectoux (talk) 16:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm, seems I'm confused! I'm fine with the shorter, 7 item, list being present unless it's going to be expanded greatly... What's the above then, if not papers digitized? I removed the extra link per the external links policy, specifically the bit here: WP:ELMINOFFICIAL (which states: "Normally, only one official link is included. If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances"). Cheers,  Nik the  stunned  08:22, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It IS confusing, which is why this happened in the first place. Our library has two separate (and separately funded) digitizing projects going simultaneously (Illinois Newspaper Project and Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections). The above list reflects work done by the other project, and someone on Kirk's team mistakenly conjoined the two (we get confused too).
 * So! Should I include the two other links in the See Also section? Would they work better there?TracyNectoux (talk) 08:35, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No, you should not add those links to the page - they're not associated as far as Wikipedia is concerned. If an article is created for the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collection then you may add a wikilink in the "see also" section - otherwise it's not notable enough for inclusion. I'll re-add the list I reverted in a moment for you though. Cheers,  Nik the  stunned  09:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
