  • I changed the article title. I was confused that the Library of Congress page states that the Aurelia Sentinel is still being published. I now see that it is still being published, but under a different name. SL93 (talk) 01:57, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I adjusted the hook to make it read better. However, this article could use some clarifications: (1) is this a national or local newspaper? (2) is it still published or not? (3) can you include an infobox? (4) Can you detail here (not on the article) the twelve times that it changed hands? Arbitrarily0 (talk) 21:25, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what you exactly want for the last part. I included everything in the sources about it changing hands and they don't have the reasons for the changes in ownership. Do you want me to copy and paste what I have in the article to here? I will work on these things when I get home. Thanks for the copyedits to the hook and article.

Arbitrarily0 I made additions to the article. I now see that I miscounted the number of times it changed ownership so I fixed the hook. SL93 (talk) 23:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Arbitrarily0 That is all that the source says, but it is from a 1973 book. All that I know is that it is currently a local newspaper. Their Facebook says "The Aurelia Star is a weekly newspaper serving the Aurelia community as well as Alta." This source calls it a hometown newspaper. The newspaper is included on this ad which lists Iowa local newspapers. SL93 (talk) 12:10, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
