This is a reminder than when you cite a newspaper article, you:

  • put the title of the article in the citation - the real title of the article, not "article clipped from [newspaper name]"
  • include the date of the article in the citation
  • Include the name of the newspaper you are citing
  • credit the author if they are credited in the article

Don't:

  • cite Wikipedia as a source
  • be sloppy with facts (ex, saying a person born in the 1800s was born in the USSR)
  • Put a BLP tag on a biography of a dead person

Do:

  • Do get birth dates right (Do not say someone was born in 1956 in the article lead but in 1959 in the infobox)
  • Do call people by their official title (ex, President, Prime Minister, General, etc), not something super vague like "historical figure" or "person in history"

I'm not OCD, I'm CDO - in alphabetical order, the way it should be!
