Talk:The Cavalier Daily

Untitled
Woot for self-promotion.

Remind me when I get around to it to change all the "only newspaper at U.Va." mentions in the article to "only daily newspaper at U.Va."

Info Box
The newspaper infobox is totally non-compliant Wikipedia code -- it's written in HTML, rather than standard Wiki markup. I took the time to mark it up properly, which somebody undid two days later, with the comment "People read the article, not the coding. That old box seems to look a lot better than the June 10th revision." If somebody has a problem with the look of Wikipedia, perhaps it would be best to take that up through proper channels, rather than hacking together an HTML-based workaround.

Unless somebody provides a decent reason for why the Cav Daily's entry should not adhere to Wikipedia standards, I'm going to fix the infobox again. --WaldoJ 02:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know why the CD website is offline? Tjarrett (talk) 16:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, they're back up with a new website, which breaks all existing links to articles. I would estimate there are probably a few hundred CD citations to clean up now. What a pain in the rear. -Tjarrett (talk) 13:30, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Anyone know how to pull old articles from the Cav that don't show up online?Kjs2x (talk) 16:49, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Were they originally on the CD website? I used the CD's search function to find all the old articles that were used as references by searching on titles. By now Google has probably indexed the new site, so searching Google with "article title" site:cavalierdaily.com should do it. If they're older than that, there is a digital version of the CD from 1968 to 1972 at the UVA library. It has a highly buggy search engine, so you have to be patient and able to hack XML to get the files out, but a lot of the content is there. They have plans to digitize more back issues, but not this year. Tjarrett (talk) 01:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
