Complete List?

This list now contains all but one newspaper listed in the 2005-2006 Wisconsin Blue Book under the section of Daily Newspapers on page 787. At this point, I have not added the missing newspaper--The Daily Reporter of Milwaukee--since it lists itself as "Wisconsin's Construction, Law and Public Record Authority"--or a specialty newspaper. Given this, can we consider this a complete list of Wisconsin daily newspapers? --Andymarek 19:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Wisconsin Daily and Weekly Newspapers

Currently, the List of newspapers in Wisconsin contains only a listing of Wisconsin daily newspapers. The name of the list implies a more encompassing and complete list of Wisconsin newspapers. As such, I propose merging List of Wisconsin weekly newspapers into List of newspapers in Wisconsin. Also, if merged, I would like to see the pages displayed more similarly to other state lists of newspapers (possibly like Iowa or Illinois). Andymarek 18:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, see what I've done over at List of newspapers in Rhode Island -- I did the same for all the New England states as well as List of newspapers in New York. I agree with you that the weeklies should be on this page (which would obviate the need for the other page). By playing games with transclusion, though, we can put only the dailies on the List of newspapers in the United States page, along with a link to weeklies. I'm willing to do the gruntwork on this, if nobody objects within a week or two. _``` _W i k i _W i s t a h _``` 15:59, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

I fixed the sorting issues for papers starting with "The" and made the external links references vice links.

The table probably should include a column for publication frequency and founding date. Most state lists do this. A circulation column is also used in some state lists, but should be referenced to show the date of the circulation numbers. Is there a Wisconsin newspaper association? Founding date often appears on the newspaper or can be found in the Library of Congress database.
