Too many gereralizations, I'll clean it up a bit. Please help out if you have the time and know about weekly papers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedudejessemullen (talk • contribs) 22:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thedudejessemullen – First of all, thank you for your efforts to help improve this article. As you know, any effort to help improve Wikipedia is noble. Second, I don't know if you've learned this since you posted this comment three months ago, but we do appreciate signed comments (which is done by using four tildes (typing "~" four times). That all said, I've restored the introduction that you removed in good faith (albeit in restated form). Like any wikipedia article, this needs a proper introduction explaining what the subject — in this case, a weekly newspaper — is. Perhaps someone (yourself or another editor) can further improve the introduction by removing any "pointless semi-truths" that may still exist. Thanks again for your help with this article.

Thanks, I think we should remove the comments detailing what weeklies or semi-weeklies cover. While I do work for a rural weekly, I know of many metro weeklies. Thedudejessemullen 21:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion — Since I work for a rural weekly also, I agree that there are many metro weeklies as well. Perhaps the intro could say something to the effect of metro weeklies as well to cover that aspect and cover all bases. [[Briguy52748 21:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)]] (Update: I've reworked the intro to incorporate the metro aspect as hopefully a compromise; I think its necessary to state what weeklies cover to help those who are not familiar with weeklies tell what they cover. If any other editors think of areas that weeklies cover and can make it better, have at it). [[Briguy52748 21:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)]][reply]
