Talk:Technique (newspaper)

The paper creation process
It seems to me the entire paragraph starting with "The paper is first assembled..." is pretty much superfluous. It is not asimilar to what any other newspaper is set up like and does not strike me as encyclopedic knowledge. I've not removed it for the moment, but if no one opposes within a few weeks (or whenever I remember) I probably will. --Elepsis 22:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with your comment. If the paragraph stays it should be edited to be more accurate to the actual process at the least. --Entertainingfate 1:14, 6 Novemeber 2006 (UTC)

Title and format
It looks as though the definite article was an historic part of the paper's title, but that this is not true of the current paper. If so, shouldn't the article instead be moved to Technique (newspaper) or something similar? Also, is it really printed in tabloid format? I realize this refers strictly to dimensions and not content, but while I've not held a copy in my hands, it looks like neither a tabloid nor broadsheet, maybe a Berliner or something. Just curious, anyone care to break out a ruler? -Tobogganoggin talk 06:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about moving the page, yes. And I'm fairly certain that it's considered a tabloid-size newspaper. The image on the article was captured from a PDF, and doesn't necessarily represent the dimensions of the actual paper. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

GA pass
I have reviewed this article and believe it meets criteria at WP:WIAGA. I think the article is a well referenced and well written piece about a college newspaper. I also think considering it is a school newspaper and not a national publication the article is broad enough for GA class. However to improve especially if considering nominating to FAC then a few parts could do with expanding. Firstly the history section? Perhaps a list of some of the more contentious articles/issues of the past? Or perhaps a list of some (if any) famous contributors from the past, who have now gone on to other things? I have placed a few wikilinks I thought were missing as well. Anyway good job to all those who contributed to improve! LordHarris 10:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

GA sweeps
This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Lampman (talk) 15:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Broken links to Technique website
It is clear from the sheer number of broken links to the Technique website from various articles on Wikipedia (numbering over a hundred) that some major sea change has happened there. No media web site for a public institution would break links on its website en masse like this unless it was done intentionally to distance itself from past reporting. The breakage coincided in time with the loss of the famous "Two Bits", as we read here, as well. There is nothing in this article to indicate what sort of conservative takeover led to this. It should explain something. Please add it. -130.207.229.86 (talk) 11:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Two Bits was discontinued because all of the writers graduated, and didn't recruit anyone to replace them. The website was broken because they redesigned it and weren't bothered to include the archives. You can still access all of the Technique content through the Georgia Tech Library here, but I haven't had the time to go through and update all of the links. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 13:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And while we're talking about media sites breaking links, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is particularly notorious about that; articles from just a few years ago have rarely been accessible, much less the kind of age I'd need for the research I focus on around here. So at least we have the Georgia Tech Library to archive the GT student publications for us. :3 —Disavian (talk/contribs) 13:41, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
