[edit] Online newspaper

This is basically someone's personal essay on the phenomenon that newspapers have websites that allow people to read their articles online. >Radiant< 09:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

• That's just for starters. Fixing the article is a matter of removing any original research and introducing material based upon the above and many other sources. Uncle G 13:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep/rewrite It'd be fine with less original research and more sourcing Whilding87 15:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep/clean-up Per above and from the references in the article it looks like this is a case for a cleanup instead of deletion. Would suggest keeping the article and discussing what parts need to be deleted or modified on the article's talk page. Dugwiki 21:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

• It is very important to see the difference between blog and forum sites as to newspapers. Newspapers are written by professionals and are moving from hard copy to soft. This is a very impotent development for the industry. This below is some one who is not 100% as to what it is he/she is talking about. This is not 1 posters comments and this topic is very important! You have posts about online radio, online TV etc. It would be silly to remove it. Just look at the posters tag, that says it all! If electronic pager can stay, so can online news! It is people like this chap who has flagged this up who make Wikipedia loose its credibility.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Martin-jj (talk • contribs).
• Who posted this silly thing saying the online papers not being important? I am doing research about a UK based newspapers for a TV program later this year on the BBC. Very silly this. I found this site through google... well I know about it, but I have not used it until now. I was looking for a website I have been asked to do the background on and spotted that this site has information on. So logged on and the first thing I see is that things are to be deleted with out research being done. I will be adding this fact to our program notes. If wikipedia wants to be taken at face value, it should not allow the public to pick what is kept and not kept. The public should submit information and then staff on the site should check it out! I have spotted huge holes and lots of information being cut, due to it not fitting the editing system. This post should be kept as it is! I am not going back on here as it has lost credibility to me. I know what the facts are and this post is spot on. Lots of information, ok needs a bit of a clean up, but DO NOT delete, just because of that! --Fm-jessamine 19:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
