[edit] The Philadelphia Inquirer

I somehow began working on this article several months ago. I knew almost nothing about The Inquirer when I started, but found the paper's history fascinating. There was no "complete" news media article to base it on, but I believe I managed to get it to FA quality. I look forward to reading your comments.Medvedenko 02:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. Seems in order, has references and notes, and seems to cover reasonably well the aspects of a newspaper. It you wanted to be truly comprehensive though, you should include a list, past and present, of which comics have run in the newspaper, of course :) .

  • Comment: I didn't read the whole article so I'm not going to vote, but the three HUGE sections into which the article is divided concern me. I don't think it's a matter on which one could object in and of itself, but, as a personal preference, I like articles which have a slightly more modular level of ToC organization than exists here. --DanielNuyu 09:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I added subsections and it does seem to make the article more presentable.Medvedenko 19:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Great job, Medvedenko! --Kitia 21:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Minor object. The prose in the second paragraph of the "corporate ownership" subsection is a little bit strange - it seems to meander all over the timeline, and is a bit confusing. More generally, some of the prose is a bit fragmented - it could do with a little bit of a copyedit. It is nonetheless a fantastic article though. Rebecca 03:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Danaman5 did a nice job fixing up the paragraph before I got a chance. Also thanks for all the nice comments. Medvedenko 19:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Support I find it suprising that a city's newspaper becomes a FA before the city itself, but this is much more well written. Paragon12321 02:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
