Talk:National Pacemaker Awards

History
I am a retired high school journalism adviser. When I was executive director of Oregon's scholastic press association in 2010, I went through NSPA's online records and added Oregon schools that were award winners to the list with the citation at the time. Today I checked up on the source citation problem cited at the top and discovered that NSPA has completely changed its website, and they now feature only the last four years of winners on a drop-down menu. The rest of the history is gone. This wikipedia entry is now the only record on the web of the achievements of these student publications. Unless there is a local media link to a news article -- unlikely for many older entries -- there is no longer and authoritative source for this information.

Chances are the only people coming to this page found it by way of National Newspaper Pacemaker Award, so it may as well be merged. It would most likely be useful information to anyone looking at that page. JoelC 22:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)JoelC

By "this page" I actually meant List of National Newspaper Pacemaker winners. Unless someone wants to bother adding all the winners from the NPSA website to that page, it could be included in this one. JoelC 22:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)JoelC

Major merge/new article needed
As I mentioned on the List of National Newspaper Pacemake Award Recipients article, the Newspaper Pacemaker award is one type of Pacemaker award offered by the NSPA - other being Online, Broadcast, and Yearbook/Magazine. Shouldn't this particular article be merged as a section in a general NSPA Pacemaker Award article? This article seems to suggest that the Newspaper Pacemaker is the ONLY Pacemaker awarded by NSPA.

I don't know about whether THIS article should be merged, but I did merge the list of national newspaper pacemaker winners into this article, as it was put up for merger back in February and no one voiced any problems with it. -Warhorus 07:00, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Move/new article created!
I decided to follow general Wikipedia advice to be bold, and I moved/renamed "National Newspaper Pacemaker Award" to "NSPA Pacemaker Award" so that the newspaper category can be incorporated in a more general Pacemaker Award page that also incorporates Yearbook/Magazine, Online, and Broadcast.

I included the link to the Newspaper Pacemaker winners under the Newspaper section. I know there was talk about incporating that page into this one; I will leave that up to a future merge.

There is now room to begin listing some more information under the other Pacemaker categories (Yearbook/Magazine winners, etc.) But what does anyone think about expanding the Newspaper winners page to make it one big winners-in-all-categories page? I know that Aurora is already listed on the newspaper winners page although it is, in fact, a Yearbook winner.

Thoughts? Aphrodite7717 17:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I was WP:BOLD in moving it to "National Pacemaker Awards'' to encompass the fact that the award is given out by two groups - the NSPA and the ACP. Thus there is an "NSPA Pacemaker" and an "ACP Pacemaker" - this title represents both. FCYTravis 21:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Tidbits
Added a "tidbits" section for interesting random facts, and brought back an ealier reference to the only two schools to win both a Newspaper and Online packemaker. Feel free to change the name and format of this section. Aphrodite7717 17:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed it becuase the HiLite and the Lakewood Times also have won both. Perhaps more. As the list grows, the information isn't very interesting. 68.184.209.190 04:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
