Talk:U.S. Press Freedom Tracker

Text and/or other creative content from this version of U.S. Press Freedom Tracker was copied or moved into Freedom of the press in the United States#U.S. Press Freedom Tracker with this edit on 28 April 2021. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Focus of page[edit]

CaroleHenson, I have concerns about the scope and focus of this page. Most of it seems to be about the issue of press freedom in the United States, rather than the tracker specifically. This is a WP:CONTENTFORK that'll detract from our coverage of the topic as a whole. I would suggest refocusing the page around the tracker and establishing its notability, or merging the page to the press freedom page. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb My first, and hopefully my last, ContentFork comment, but I agree with your comments. I can see that trying to provide context was unhelpful in this case.

I went ahead and trimmed the article. I don't have a preference whether to merge this into an existing article or keep it as a stand-alone article. Based on your comments, it sounds like you have a preference to merge. Do you have a specific article in mind?–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CaroleHenson, the merge would be to Freedom of the press in the United States if we take that route. The content that you just trimmed was quite good, so I think there's a place for it in that article if it's not yet present there. I just want to make sure we don't end up writing two articles on very similar topics, since it's hard enough to find editors to write one haha.

Sdkb, Okay, I will merge it over there as a new section. And, then ensure I have the right redirects / no double redirects.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:44, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks so much! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:45, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure,

Done–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb - I have been going back and forth about whether to remove the infobox. I kind of like it - having the screenshot and some basic info. But, it's not always appreciated to have infoboxes anywhere but the intro section, so I won't be bothered if it goes.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CaroleHenson, I'm fine with it, so if you like it then it should be fine to keep. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
