[edit] Slant Source
Sentence "paper is known for its liberal slant" may be true but need to cite sources. Just because you think it has it is not enough for Wikipedia see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability for policies. Passive tense is weak, especially when used to avoid saying "Person or Group considers the paper to have a liberal slant". -WCFrancis 22:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Current sentence (which I had not seen yet when I wrote the above comment is: "While some claim that the paper maintains a moderate editorial tone, others believe that the paper has a definite liberal slant." This is much better, but we still can't tell who claims/believes that. -WCFrancis 22:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
I have moved and expanded the discussion about the paper's editorial slant from the introduction to the main body of the article. I have noted some particular editorial positions the paper has taken, and have put the discussion in the context of contrasting it with the more conservative (and now defunct) Globe Democrat. Having the comment in context and in body of the article seems more consistent with NPOV than having it as a stand alone in the intro. 209.145.162.130 20:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Saint Louis spelled out is incorrect. The Post-Dispatch spells it St. Louis and indeed that is what the copyright is under.
- It should be moved. The name "St. Louis Post-Dispatch", as well as the other name edits that I made, were found from the bibliographic records on WorldCat (subsciption-based version) for OCLC accession numbers 1764810 and 9577970. Ardric47 00:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pd20041127.jpg
Image:Pd20041127.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.
