Article notes

Ray Guy (humorist) wrote for Atlantic Insight and apparently won a couple awards, but I don't think I saw that reflected in the sources anywhere at this point. If anyone can point to a source for this, or add it to the article, that would be most welcome. MediaKyle (talk) 00:28, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this. Nice 100% authorship, I have never seen that before on an article I have reviewed. IAWW (talk) 09:43, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MediaKyle comments are below. I thought this was very well written, which is rather fitting for an article about a high-quality magazine! So, I didn't find many issues to quibble about. IAWW (talk) 10:37, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for reviewing! I wasn't expecting someone to take on the review so quickly. I'll see if I can resolve the issues you've raised over the course of the day. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 13:17, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MediaKyle Thank you for responding to all my points. I am happy with all your improvements and am passing now. That was a nice quick one! IAWW (talk) 19:15, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prose (Criteria 1a, 1b, 4) clock

Lead

the Periodical Distributors of Canada, and the Atlantic Journalism Awards: If these awards are not notable enough for a redlink, I don't think they should be in the lead. IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I removed Periodical Distributors of Canada, and redlinked the AJAs because I think I have enough material to write on article on that soon. MediaKyle (talk) 13:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description

Looks good.

History

and the adverse economic impact that would be felt by the community as a result: Make it clear this is his opinion (WP:NPOV: "avoid stating opinion as fact") IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Good catch, thank you MediaKyle (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tantramar subscribers receiving an issue of Atlantic Insight as a replacement starting in March 1982: Were these paying subscribers? If so, did the money go to the company that previously published tantramar, or did it go to the Atlantic Insight? IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: I don't believe this information actually exists. Tantramar was a very short-lived magazine, this is more of just a footnote in Atlantic Insight's story. I may revisit this later. MediaKyle (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I think I misinterpreted what you meant the first time around. I rewrote that part and it should hopefully be more clear now, let me know what you think. Thanks, MediaKyle (talk) 17:37, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

splitting the advertising sales sector of the business along with its 22 employees to Daley Communications: "Splitting" implies it was split between two parties, but only one is listed. IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Believe I've solved this MediaKyle (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources clock

Health/formatting (Criterion 2a) Y

No issues. Nice sfn formatting.

Reliability (Criterion 2b) Y

Sourcing is entirely local news. I see no issues with reliability.

Spot check (Criteria 2b, 2c, 2d) clock

[1a]: Y

[3]: Y

[8]: I don't think it supports that she became the president of the new company during the receivership proceedings. IAWW (talk) 10:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: This is a weird one, as I'm pretty sure based on my research that this did happen during receivership proceedings, but when I looked at the source again it seems where I got that was National Post referring to the company she became a President of as "newly created", and that doesn't mean it happened during the receivership proceedings. I adjusted the wording in the article to "around the time" to better reflect the source, pending confirmation of a concrete date if possible. MediaKyle (talk) 13:42, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[1b]: Y

[1c]: Y

[19a]: Y

[19b]: Y

Copyvio (Criterion 2d) Y

Earwig finds nothing, I found nothing on the spot check.

Scope (Criteria 3a, 3b) clock

Appears to cover the whole magazine's lifespan. There is no list of notable journalists who wrote for it? IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: I added a simple bullet list as I think this does warrant a separate section, but I don't believe there's enough material to put it into prose. MediaKyle (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! IAWW (talk) 19:10, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stable (Criterion 5) Y

Media Y

Tags (Criterion 6a) Y

Good free use rationale

Captions (Criterion 6b) Y

Suggestions (not needed for GA promotion)

Modern conversions of the monetary amounts would be cool (Template:Inflation) IAWW (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Great suggestion, never would have thought of that. Thank you. MediaKyle (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
