Copyright

My name is Tom Scheinfeldt. I am the assistant director of the Center for History and New Media. CHNM has copyright to the material previously posted in the article in question and is happy to have it reproduced there. I have posted a revised and expanded version of this text at Center for History and New Media/Temp

I have moved this text to the article page. It is released under the GFDL by the copyright holder. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Including material directly from CHNM is okay, given that copyright issues are worked out. However, much of the text here sounded a bit more like a sales pitch, and not in compliance with WP:NPOV. This happens when one writes about oneself, their organization, employer, etc. I've listened to Dan Cohen on the radio, so with what I now know about the center, I have started to copyedit the article, format the article, etc., to help bring the article into compliance with Wikipedia policies. Another Wikipedia policy yet to be addressed properly is citing sources. There is a specific way to format references, and this still needs to be done. I can come back later and work on it. -Aude (talk | contribs) 20:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of all the (very interesting) projects listed in the article, which ones are most signficant and notable? why? While there are many interesting projects from the CHNM, I think it would be better not to list everything and maybe discuss some of the most key projects in some more depth. I'd immediately think of the September 11 Digital Archive, which appeals to the broader public, as does the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank. I also think of the digital preservation (this article needs work too) research and work at the CHNM. -Aude (talk | contribs) 20:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I changed the name of the CHNM for Roy Rosenzweig CHNM, as it's named from April 15 2011. --Historiaabierta (talk) 14:08, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with History News Network

The article's subject doesn't seem to be notable by itself and could easily be merged. ^Falling_Gravity 03:28, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FallingGravity: since you originally proposed this, it seems that the History News Network has moved from George Mason University (where Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media is based), to George Washington University: specifically their Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. See the official website (which gives the new location in the banner) and citation at: Warren, James (27 March 2017). "Media Report - Shenkman's New Home". Vanity Fair. Retrieved 7 April 2017. Journalist-historian Rick Shenkman has found a new home for the History News Network, namely George Washington University, meaning "its future is now assured" after departing George Mason University. {{cite news}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) Therefore oppose original proposal, given the change of status, but perhaps a new target of Columbian College of Arts and Sciences would now be appropriate.

Third-party warning

Hi everyone,

I checked the references inserted after {{third-party}} template and I consider the issues has been addressed adequately, so I remove it. However I would like to be sure if Mr. Guye is agree due he was who added it and he is still active in the project. If anyone is not agree, you feel free to add it again and please, indicate me where you consider necessary additional references. I am interested in translate to Spanish but first I would like to solve it.

@Ivanhercaz: Yes, you can remove it. Many more unaffiliated sources have been added since March 2017. Thanks for checking in. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 18:31, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr. Guye: Done! Thank you very much for your answer. Ivanhercaz (Talk) 16:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
