References

OK, I'm doing something wrong here, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm trying to link to this Los Angeles Times article as a reference: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-hometown-newspaper-20130811,0,7434432,full.story But I'm getting error messages.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because it is highly unusual for a newspaper to be produced using Linotype in 2013. That makes this newspaper notable. It was the subject of an article in the Los Angeles Times, which is an independent, reliable source. --Pha telegrapher (talk) 18:32, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add that I'm not connected to this paper in any way -- I'm the publisher of a small-town weekly in Pennsylvania. I just read the LA Times article, thought it was interesting that someone was doing this with Linotype in 2013 and looked to Wikipedia to learn more. When I saw no article about this paper, I decided to create one. Pha telegrapher (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

trying to add references

OK, I tried adding a second reference: http://www.9news.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=83225&catid=222 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Pha telegrapher (talk) 18:57, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Look at WP:REF. The reference is added in the body, not in the references section.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:58, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Did you know" featured article

Today this article was featured in the "Did you know" section of the Wikipedia main page. Many thanks to Binksternet and Eric for their help. This has been fun. This is what I want more of from Wikipedia: Fun. I edit some pretty difficult WP articles and it is not any fun at all. I do it from a sense of responsibility as a member of the human race...who act pretty badly a lot of the time. Dean Coombs from Saguache, Colorado is acting pretty good. So is my new friend Anne at the Saguache Reality office who I talked to per phone for a pretty long time this morning because I'd been unable to get a hold of Dean... :)

But I finally got through to Dean this morning (not surprising at all--he has no answering machine) who had been very busy setting type for Thursday's edition. We "chatted". I mentioned the internet. I said he should get it. We both laughed. I'll watch and if Dean puts an article in the the Saguache paper next week I'll let all of his new friends know.

That's cool, and I can relate. Every once in a while when I'm composing content I communicate with people who are close to the topic, and I find it very rewarding. My favorite one was an 82-year-old who asked me how "Goggle" worked so well as a tool for looking up 19th century family records. Because of that, I still think of Google as a pair of big lenses buckled on with leather straps. Binksternet (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
