** This might be a good idea as if the list of articles keeps growing, the page may become too long and unmanageable. It would also make navigation easier as a user reading an article from a particular news outlet could easily click on a link to find other articles from the same source. It would also be great to somehow sort the articles by year or date. One way might be to also subcategorize by year and/or add links to the articles published in a particular year to the page for that year.

- What do you all think about subcategorizing the press section by outlet? --Craven de Kere 03:39, 28 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- This might be a good idea as if the list of articles keeps growing, the page may become too long and unmanageable. It would also make navigation easier as a user reading an article from a particular news outlet could easily click on a link to find other articles from the same source. It would also be great to somehow sort the articles by year or date. One way might be to also subcategorize by year and/or add links to the articles published in a particular year to the page for that year. Peter F. 04:43, 28 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- I think this makes sense. I propose an article from the Mirror from 1990 be categorized using [[Category:The Mirror (Press)|Mirror, The (Press)]][[Category:1990 (Press)]] --Monger 07:20, 28 Jun 2005 (CDT)
