Silver City Daily Press[edit]

(

)

... that the Silver City Daily Press newspaper in Silver City, New Mexico has been owned by the Ely family since 1934?

5x expanded by Jreferee (talk). Self nominated at 18:57, 16 November 2013 (UTC).

I expanded the article in reply to a Help Desk request,[1] where the son of the owner of the newspaper noted, "If you look at the current page, it is terribly written, cites NOVELS as sources for info, and is horrible all around. I'm fairly certain our competitors have posted that info, as well (the novel citation makes the paper seem biased, through it is complete fiction)." -- Jreferee (talk) 19:06, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. Major expansion and interesting rewrite of what was a rather shoddy example of a WIkipedia article. No wonder the editor was PO. No plagiarism concerns. The attempts to rewrite by family members were interesting. Nicely done! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:52, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
