August 2023: Work in Progress

[edit]

I have recreated this article by greatly expanding an old version of The Free Press (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), but have not yet spent the time to find independent sources for many of the facts I added. If anyone can help, please, please do so.

BTW, creating this article takes care of a redlink in the Free Press disambiguation page.

Full disclosure: I am a subscriber to this publication. Cheers, CWC 10:29, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History subsection

[edit]

Noting that the latter half of the History section contained similar information about things the FP has published, I thought a subsection would make navigation easier. I'm not sure whether "Coverage", is the most suitable term for the section name, but I added the section anyway.– St.nerol (talk) 16:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

There has been a notability-tag on the page for some time now. Here's a WSJ piece that might be helpful to establish notability: [1]. —St.Nerol (talk, contribs) 21:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good find. Thanks!
It would be useful to have at least one more "reliable secondary source" talking about The Free Press. I found an item in The Australian of 4-Mar-2023 titled "How Bari Weiss fought for her own free press", but it's behind a paywall. Would these two articles convincingly demonstrate Notability? What do other editors think? Cheers, CWC 10:27, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And now Marquardtika, an experienced user, has removed the notability tag with the comment "the sources here definitely establish WP:GNG". I'm fine with that. CWC 10:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Debate re Sexual Revolution

[edit]

We probably should mention the public debate that TFP ran in Los Angeles last September. They sold all 1600 seats in the theater. Possible citations:

Move discussion in progress

[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Free Press (organization) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Dead link" in footnote "[16]"

[edit]

(At least, "as of" the "Latest revision as of 00:23, 20 August 2024" version of this article), the link from footnote "[16]" points to the URL https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/american-miseducation-teaching-hate-on-campus.php ... which (when I tried it) says

NOT FOUND
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

However, even when I tried using the "search" features of that web site [see the "S.R.P." ('search results page') https://www.powerlineblog.com/?s=American+Miseducation&x=12&y=11 e.g.] I was not able to figure out the "new" URL -- if any -- for the web page that [probably] used to exist, at the "old" URL -- (ending with 'dot' php) -- that is mentioned above.

I did find [e.g.] https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/american-miseducation.php but that seems to be by a different author.

I also found

I did notice (with the help of the "Wayback machine" web site), that an archived "copy" of that web page that seems to have been deleted or "moved" to a new internet address ... could be found at [this "archive-" URL]:

So the best solution would probably be: to use "| url-status = dead", and to mention that "web.archive.org" [= the "Wayback machine"] URL as the value of the "| archive-url = [...]" field. (right?)
