Headline correction

edit

Latest comment: 9 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi there. Just FYI that I've checked the headline on Newspapers.com and ProQuest, and it appears to have been correct before you changed it here. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:00, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK I'll revert that one. It looked like two different headlines in the newspaper archive TarnishedPath^talk 11:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see - where it continues on p. 4, it has a slightly different headline to what's on the front page, where the article starts. But I think it's best to use the first headline. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

	I appreciated your comment about how to organize the sections in an RFC to promote discussion. I thought your approach is both realistic and helpful, and your explanation might encourage others to do the same. Thanks! WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:49, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
