Your edit here to Lester W. Smith was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTV6EuWOFxo&t=1s) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Hitler-fighter articles need help: Erhard Auer & Münchener Post[edit]

Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945. The first book written on Erhard Auer and the Münchener Post was in 2013, in Brazil. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 19:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Black Press into David Holmes Black. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 00:16, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Australian newspapers[edit]

Interesting that you add journalism project - are you aware of the relationship between the newspaper and journalism projects, that it is such that there is an argument possible that you are unnecessarily adding a redundancy?

The same question could be specifically asked of the -

Ships and Shipwreck
Death and Cemeteries

There are many other similar combinations, and I cannot remember ever seeing discussions

about whether redundancies (as perceived in these circumstances) were actually resolved,

there are very few if any recognised policy/guidelines as to project tagging... unless I missed something...

I would be very interested in your take - as having done the australian items - by precedent alone - the rest of the world waits your touch... Or perhaps what the item that suggested to you the process of adding extra tags, as guidelines of adding such closely related items are non existent. Death and cemeteries for instance is an interesting double tag that is usually found.

For the note - a considerable number of the Australian newspaper articles were created before newspaper project was started. At that stage the journalism project tag was the default choice.

They were created some years ago during a nationally coordinated exercise in trying to correlate newspaper articles with items that existed in the National Library Trove collection - so that references utilising trove collected items would not be all red links. Those items used the journalism tag, as the newspaper project and tag were not available at that time.

You may well have a good reply, or even find in my edit history inconsistencies with project tagging, the interest here is to let you know the background of the group of oz arts and tagging, and possibly a point or two for discussion... JarrahTree 13:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree that using both the Newspapers and Journalism WikiProject tags is redundant. In my opinion, Newspapers should just be a work group or subset of Journalism. The reason I use both is for consistency. There is no set policy that I'm aware of that says both should always be used, but I've come to find that many pages about newspaper use one or the other, but a lot of times both. I've even found some that are tagged with the Brands or Media WikiProject tags, which I find too broad. So right now I'm adding both Newspapers and Journalism because they both seem to fit these pages the best and I don't know of an alternative solution. Eric Schucht (talk) 14:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for your reply - I have a deep distrust of the 'media' tag after years or so of tagging...- if you have removed brands and media, thanks. Maybe we just leave as is - correcting obvious mistakes happens, but hey, cest la vie, or whatever it is. Keep up the good work! JarrahTree 04:37, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Epoch Times[edit]

I just read Wikipedia's version or description of the Epoch Times. I find it amazing how the Epoch Times can be characterized by Wikipedia, and by yourself Eric, with such glaring inaccuracies when other truly slanted and clearly ajendized publications that interestingly enough are opposite or opposed to what the Epoch Times stands for are not characterized in the same fashion albeit opposite of. It truly shows the clear lack of any true "journalism" on Wikipedia's part. But deep inside I'm confident that you know and understand what I am saying 100%. Sad. Steven Gehrke
