Rated it as stub so far, perhaps for good. Newspaper is not delivered to Strathcona neighbourhood, and possibly other areas of Vancouver (Source: Circulation Manager and much frustration about not getting it), so I changed the blurb about it being delivered to every household in city.-- Keefer4 04:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Does the Courier have a position? If so, discuss? Mkdw talk 03:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that the CBC posted an article on Wikipedia today, I, editor:The Wikpedia Experiment. It made me wonder if Arr matey got his story on the VancouverProject published in the Courier, so I searched their website and found this article dissing Wikipedia for its entry on the paper. After searching the edit history, it looks like they completely fabricated what the article said, perhaps to be ironic or something, so I added it to the article. I know it's original research, but in the spirit of WP:IAR I thought it would be a good addition here. These news articles questioning the accuracy of Wikipedia always miss the point that there's a transparency here that doesn't exist with the media. Basically we're expected to trust them to use reliable sources and get the facts straight, whereas here, we can follow disputes on talk pages, demand sources, and trace edit histories, and there's absolutely no requirement to take someone's word for anything. I'm curious to see what Arr Matey's take is. bobanny 20:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The above quote is not from a news article at all, but a humorous bi-weekly column called Kudos & Kvetches. If you read the "article" it is actually painfully obvious to anyone with 5th grade education that they are kidding. So while it is true that no such edit was made on Wikipedia, its seems more than a little unfair (if not down right dishonest) to imply the Courier was fabricating news. Do you take the cartoons literally too? The preceeding unsigned comment was left by User_talk:207.81.154.120
I added Potvin to the article as one of the columnists for the Courier and in so doing saw that there's been some serious WP:BLP issues with his article. I'm posting this here to encourage people to watchlist his article to keep potentially libelous edits out once protection is lifted. Thanks. bobanny 00:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:VCourier.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
