I do not know who is accusing me of being fired for falsifying a story. Aparently, you are too much a coward to identify yourself. But your accusation is not true. I left to attend law school. This was many months in the making and my departure was only about a week before school began and fully voluntary. I have never even been accused of falsifying a story. Whoever you are, do you have ANY support for this allegation. If not -- and I know you do not -- it would be in your best interest to remove that allegation. I am a pratcicing attorney and practice in the are of tort ltitigation. Although I don't know your name now, I will find it quickly and you will not likemfacing me in civil court.

JAY BARROW

Jay, Based on your statment above, I'd recommend emailing the address given in the "Subject guidelines" section of the following Wikipedia policy article - WP:LIBEL. Hope this is helpful. --Roswell native 00:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Jay, please read the article as it stands right now. As you can see, you are not mentioned once in the article; there may be previous revisions that do mention you but please refer only to the current one as that is all the majority of visitors see.

Your last several edits seem to have consisted solely of removing the links to the Telegraph website; I'm not sure what you believe you are accomplishing, but please stop -- it has no effect on the content of the article and wastes others' time.

I would encourage you to follow Roswell native's suggestion above, if you feel you need to pursue this further. However, I'm sure that as an attorney, you know enough to be able to read the article as it stands and conclude that it should be of no concern to you. If anything, your oversensitivity to not being mentioned in the article is probably far more damaging to your reputation than whatever was previously posted here. Please contact me if you have any questions or clarifications. --SuperNova |T|C| 06:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The Telegraph (Macon) front page.jpg

Image:The Telegraph (Macon) front page.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.

Citation & Style Suggestions

I would suggest adding more external & inline citations as well as stronger neutral tone. While I have removed the word 'Yes' from the parenthesized statement about Bartlett's capitalization under the segment 'Beginnings in the 1800s' to make the tone less conversational sounding, I would suggest completely doing away that entire statement since I see no directly correlation with rest of segment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ousainou Adeniyi (talk • contribs) 01:44, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

A bibliography and citation headings were added to the article. Working on moving full references to the bibliography and keeping the citations strictly in their shorthand version. To future editors, if possible, please keep the formatting of bibliographies and citations consistent - use the sfn template for citations in the article and do full references in the bibliography. Thanks! JenniferMGA (talk) 02:36, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Table of Previous Names

I've included a table listing the names, dates, and publishers of the Telegraph from 1826 to present since the newspaper has gone through quite a number of name changes. The table ended up being fairly large and bulky, should this table be moved to the bottom of the wiki article or is it fine as it is near the lead? Should there be any additional columns/rows for information important to include? JenniferMGA (talk) 02:24, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Article Images

It might be a good idea to include an image of the first paper published in 1826 in the "Origins" section of the wikipage (would it be helpful to see how the paper has transformed from 1826 to present? That might be too much clutter on the page unless I can condense all the photos/images into their own section. This would be a good idea to explore in the sandbox). Couldn't find any images of the founder unfortunately, I'll have to keep searching for a portrait. It might also be a good idea to update the image in the infobox of the paper to something for recent? JenniferMGA (talk) 01:00, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
