Fair use rationale for Image:The Hook front page.jpg[edit]

Image:The Hook front page.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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Advertisement tone[edit]

I have placed an {{advert}} tag on the article. At the moment, the article is burdened by severe problems of tone and language inappropriate to the neutral, sombre tone of an encylopaedia:

"the weekly's gone on to win the hearts of eager readers" Informal contraction and POV phrasing
"and trounce its competition" more POV wording
"More importantly, it has shown that a small-size city really can support..." More important to whom?

Some work needed here, preferably by someone familiar with the journal. — BillC ^talk 13:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now done. — BillC ^talk 21:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite detailed journalism for a newspaper gone for 10 years[edit]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-newspaper-vanished-from-the-internet-did-someone-pay-to-kill-it/ar-AA15h0UC

The reason is the recent purging of its archives by unknown actors.

The Internet Archive has past articles

https://web.archive.org/web/20220101004514/http://readthehook.com/

but with 20,000 articles in this it would be nice to have proper archiving.
