Tone issues
editI am reinstating my edit. Accusation of being negative is simply someones judgement. If an accurate description is thought of as negative that is not my problem. The source is daily readership of the paper.--Cassandra1953 (talk) 05:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I have reinstated edit (again). Royalbroil seem to want only a sanitised Gannett version of what the GBPG is. If you have a criticism of any facts please give them here. The only thing in my edit which verges on opinion is the reference to boosterism however this can be justified by regular reading of the paper. It is a monopoly (please state its competition if you think it is not) and it is proud of its lack of coverage of anything outside green bay. If you doubt this call the paper - they will happily claim to be just a local paper..--Cassandra1953 (talk) 13:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have started a discussion at WikiProject Wisconsin to get a wider consensus on the tone. I have worked on tone issues on many articles it is clearly wrong in my opinion. Royalbroil 16:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I agree with RoyalBroil-- the edits by Cassandra1953 are clearly to make a point. In fact, they're pointless. There are very few newspaper markets in the entire United States with multiple newspapers, so the fact that it's the only paper published in Green Bay is meaningless. Besides, being the only paper published in a city doesn't make it a monopoly. I'm sure that people in Green Bay read papers from other cities. Much of the rest of Cassandra1953's contribution is really drivel. The fact that they publish advertising supplements several times a week is humdrum; that's perfectly normal for any newspaper. Cassandra1953 really needs to get out sometime and see what the rest of the world is about so that articles they edit aren't tainted with unrealistic expectations and opinions.12.76.131.106 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 03:00, 14 October 2008 (UTC).

Recall Disciplinary Action
editI have reinstated 223 as the number of Gannett employees threatened with disciplinary action. This number is taken directly from the print edition cited. Editing the number but leaving in the citation is not appropriate. Not sure where the number 25 came from - no citation given.Wickifrank (talk) 16:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- No, 223 is the total number of Gannett employees in Wisconsin; 25 is the number that faced disciplinary action for signing the petition. More widely available source provided. Fat&Happy (talk) 17:57, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
