Talk:Richard Norton Smith

December 2009

In what way is this not just an advertising page for Richard Norton Smith? 216.15.57.27 (talk) 04:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

It is. So needs to be cleaned up. W Nowicki (talk) 22:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I just replaced the "Cleanup" tag with the "like resume" tag to make it more obvious what cleanup needs to be done. 76.10.162.165 (talk) 15:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Plagerized?

Seems to be much verbatim from http://heritageconferences.com/index.php/speakers/28-richard-norton-smith unless that one is just a copy of this one? In either case, needs lots of work. I can start it. W Nowicki (talk) 22:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

and has been described by Hilton Kramer as “the best book ever written about the press.”

Kramer is an art critic, not a literary critic, and I cannot find an independent source. Most are clearly the same cut-n-paste job that was done here of Smith's own advertising. There are other quotes that have sources so no need for this one. W Nowicki (talk) 00:28, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Grandfather's name?

I've been trying to reach you for years. 2600:1700:7E20:3560:80A5:1D07:AB58:59AD (talk) 17:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
