Falls Church News-Press
Hi Tom (if I may). I've reverted your edits to the Falls Church News-Press article (twice now) as the content you've added is largely not appropriate for an encyclopaedia article. As I explained in my edit summary in November, Wikipedia articles are expected to summarise what independent reliable sources say about their subjects. Sources published by the subject of the article, such as the paper or its editors' writings about themselves, can be cited sparingly but can't be used to support the bulk of the article. Content also has to be written from a neutral point of view; writing that appears promotional or celebratory isn't appropriate.

You're welcome to make a case at the talk page (Talk:Falls Church News-Press) for why some or all of this material belongs in the article, but you're expected not to simply revert without discussing; this is called edit warring. The onus is on you to explain why the material belongs and to find a consensus in its favour.

If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to let me know here or at the article talk page. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello A&H (if I may),
 * Thanks for your generous response. Though I've literally edited Wikipedia pages in the past, I'm still pretty new at it and appreciate your engaging me in such a constructive way.  I'll try to follow suit.
 * I'm going to edit again, if only to a) re-establish the link in the Infobox to the owner's personal page and b) remove the slanderous reference to him at the end ("...was denied... request to attend the White House Correspondent's Dinner.)
 * I do understand the principle you are arguing for... reliable independent sources. But this is a stub, no? By definition requiring updating/more info. My problem, to take the example of the slander, is that a strict interpretation of the 'reliable independent sources' principle doesn't account for an enterprise like this, a 30-year venture that makes a characterizable impact every week on the community, but can only get a stub with a bit of innuendo in Wikipedia, because no one else has covered it (yet).
 * The FCNP is basically--though not quite literally--a hometown paper for me. I wouldn't expect someone like you to know the context for the denied request (Mr. Benton has, in fact, attended that event many times), but it doesn't seem fair to allow a slanderous, out-of-context line to stand, especially when the supporting reference is to the paper itself.  (You can only use the paper as a source when it expresses a negative judgement?)
 * I regularly read the paper and am in touch with others that do too. That's what motivated me to make the edit in the first place (that and the invitation from its status as a stub).  I gather from my asking around that there may be independent sources on the way and I will defer to your point and wait for them, or a developed consensus, before further editing.
 * I do take your point about edit warring and consensus and will figure out how to push for that latter. (On the entry's Talk page, no?)
 * Thanks again for your patience and your constructive attitude. Tomc50 (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me. I've no objections to your recent edits – I'm not sure the tidbit about the White House Correspondents' Dinner would be considered slander as such, but it does seem trivial and lacks a full citation; and link to the article on Benton is obviously useful.
 * You're right that it's sometimes difficult to find coverage, in independent reliable sources, for smaller ventures like local newspapers that can be used to improve our articles on these topics. It's not necessarily impossible, though: Good articles/Social sciences and society lists articles about newspapers and magazines that have been found to meet the Good Article criteria. Articles like McCook Gazette and The Register-Guard, and the sources they cite, could be good models for improving the News-Press article. There's also a Newspapers Wikiproject that facilitates collaboration between editors working on articles about newspapers.
 * You're not required to post proposed changes at the article talk page – you're welcome to employ the WP:BRD cycle as we have thus far – but if you'd like to I'll certainly try to take a look and offer any feedback. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:12, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
