New York Times index[edit]

I see the amazing work you are doing to harmonize all the NYT articles. Is the plan to eventually speedy delete all the italicized redirects from the index? It would clean up the index. Are we going to migrate lower case headlines from "Twain and yacht disappear" at sea to "Twain and Yacht Disappear at Sea" as part of the harmonization effort? RAN (talk) 13:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

I think the appropriate next steps are
  • leave the redirects to avoid linkrot if external sources link there
  • migrate lowercase headlines
  • migrate articles from Portal:The New York Times and replace the table of articles with a prominent link to The New York Times; the portal can continue to index related works and so forth
  • ensure all articles are in the appropriate year/month/day subpages
  • ensure all issues with article subpages have a page which indexes the articles
  • ensure all issues are linked on the base page
  • replace the {{header periodical}} with a normal header (which means redirects won't be included in the index)
I don't have immediate plans to work on this, but I'll probably get around to it at some point—or you could, if you're interested! —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 19:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Automated-index versus manual-indexing for example for Brooklyn Eagle[edit]

Are we going to have both, one at Portal:Brooklyn Eagle and one at Brooklyn Eagle. You switched Brooklyn Eagle to manual-indexing from the automated-index. Whenever I encounter a manual-index and automated-index, the article count if off because not everyone adds to the manual index. RAN (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

We don't need to create portals for every newspaper. Portal:The New York Times exists because it's mentioned in other works and is a very well-known paper.
While manual indexes are less complete, they're also better-organized and easier to use. FWIW, this PetScan should get you most of the Brooklyn Eagle pages that aren't linked from the main page. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 23:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Is there a standardized way newspaper articles are named and aggregated?[edit]

See Portal:Newspapers

We have automated aggregation, we have manual aggregation into both a list and as a table that can be sorted, we have a calendar matrix. For naming articles, we have the bare name of the article title vs. the year and the article title vs. the full date and the article title. We have full pages and we have clipped articles.

There a half dozen different ways that newspapers are aggregated. If you go to Category:Newspapers published in the United States and click on a few, you can see six different ways that articles are aggregated, there are manual bulleted lists, automated aggregated lists, manual sortable tables, there are empty calendar indexes like New York Post, and a few other one-off experiments. There are lists and charts with annotations and summaries of the articles, and ones with just titles. Some article titles have no dates, some have years, some have full dates. Articles themselves are a mixture of djvu files, jpg index pages, raw unformatted ASCII text, and formatted Unicode/HTML text.

Index page[edit]

If you want to have an autogenerated list then I would suggest that you poke into the header notes [[Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}]] or [[Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|some text]]. That formula will show all subpages in whichever page in whichever namespace that page is are sitting. —

Lacuna[edit]

What is our rule for lacuna in scans? Another editor told me we cannot have entries with lacuna, they become excerpts, which are banned. I see lacuna differently, transcribe as much as you can, display the scan. Maybe someone in the future will have access to a different edition of the newspaper. Maybe the source material will be rescanned. If it is an important document, we should preserve what we can.

How do I make corrections to the djvu file?[edit]

See for example History_of_the_Municipalities_of_Hudson_County,_New_Jersey,_1630-1923/Volume_3/Freudenberg,_Arthur_Oscar, how would I fix errors in the text? Is the text housed at Commons? I have only dealt with the text that is right on the page here. --RAN (talk) 18:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ):There are page numbers in square brackets to the left of the text. When you click one of them, you get to the page, e. g. when you click on [729] in the above mentioned article on A. S. Freudenberg, you get to Page:History of the Municipalities of Hudson County (1924), Vol. 3.djvu/461. On the right there is the scanned page and on the left there is the editable text. Then you simply click the edit button and the rest is easy. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

New York Times style correction[edit]

Correction: June 26, 2015
The original version of the story written by the Associated Press and published by the New York Times incorrectly identified Eddie Schneider as from Westfield, New Jersey. His plane departed from Westfield, New Jersey but he was a resident of Jersey City, New Jersey.
