Talk:The New York Times

Instead of the "comments" table, I'd support seeing a "reporter/author" table that lists the names - if we're able to find them, of individual authors. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (λεμα σαβαχθανει)} 21:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Almost none of the articles we have or will be adding have identifiable authors. So an author tables not of much use here.--Metal.lunchbox 01:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

w:Image:Smith-Ormond 1933 obit.gif - an obit. I'm unsure of copyright. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 11:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Unless it were released by the newspaper into the public domain I'm guessing that this is still under copyright and therefore not permissable here at wikisource (in reference to the above mentioned article about ormond). --Metal.lunchbox 01:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

In the US, periodicals needed to renew their copyrights as well, otherwise their material fell into the public domain by way of {{PD-US-no-renewal}}. I am pretty sure that NYT will have renewed their copyrights, but it is worth checking. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 01:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Simplified Front Page

I have simplified, and, I hope, improved the main page of The New York Times, to make it easier to navigate to the articles, as well as to easily see which years actually have text available to read. The scan link templates have been moved to the portal - they could be put back into the individual year pages, or just removed entirely, as in almost all cases 0 or 1 days of each month had links to pages in the Index space.

This is a massive improvement -- thanks for having the vision and taking the time. For the ease of others reviewing the change here is the last revision prior to @Qq1122qq's changes: special:permaLink/13921244 -Pete (talk) 19:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
