Talk:The Chicago Defender

Untitled
This article refers to 'Abbott' and his/her importance several times without ever giving a first name or title as though this text is a piece of a larger article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.57.209.142 (talk) 23:41, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Possible copyright violation
This article shares much with the PBS article at http://www.pbs.org/blackpress/news_bios/defender.html. --Bejnar (talk) 18:09, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The PBS broadcast film The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords was released in 1999, and it is believed, based upon dates in the Internet Archive, that the PBS Black Press pages were created at that time.  The first occurrence in the Internet Archive of "The Chicago Defender" page is the 12 July 2000 entry.  That entry predates the creation of this page on 12 August 2002 by Shsilver.  Although both the PBS article and this page may share a common non-copyrighted source, there is no evidence of this.  As a result of this investigation I will delete the compromising text. --Bejnar (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with you deleting possible copyrighted text, although you might have wanted to do so in a manner which didn't compromise the integrity of the article itself. Perhaps actually replace the lede rather than simply delete it.Shsilver (talk) 19:48, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Huh?
"In just three years from 1919–1922[1] the Defender also attracted the writing talents of Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks."

The linked bio says Brooks was five at the end of 1922. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.18.224 (talk) 09:20, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Neglected source
The 2004 feature article "Black Is Back" in Editor & Publisher goes into some depth about the paper's reemergence in that era. Worth digging into it, for possible expansion of Wikipedia coverage.
