  • Long enough, new enough, sourced enough. I cannot read all the sources, but I could read enough--put it on the front page, with thanks to the author. Zigzig20s, is Bierfield next, with the Haaretz article, and when are we writing up History of the Jews in the American South? Drmies (talk) 05:08, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
There is an article (Samuel Bierfield) but it should be rephrased/expanded.Zigzig20s (talk) 05:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
User:Drmies: The EJI lists 6 lynchings in Davidson County. Would you be able to ask them for the names of the victims please? We already have three. And ideally the surrounding counties (like Williamson) that you can see on the map. Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 12:07, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I just want to say that the whole point of your having access to Newspapers.com is so you can clip the article and post the link with an open access symbol. None of the Newspapers.com articles you cite can be seen by the reader of this page. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
No, I don't think that is a requirement. And certainly not a reason to stop this DYK. Newspapers.com enables me to find RS to create or improve articles. You or someone else can clip the articles if you/they want to.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:38, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
No, it's not a DYK requirement, but it would sure make it easier for the DYK reviewer to review this. I certainly can't clip it; I don't have access like you do. Yoninah (talk) 21:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Just request it--you deserve an account! Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:52, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
