Maurice S. Osser, Thomas P. McHenry edit

  • ... that Democrats Maurice S. Osser and Thomas P. McHenry served together as Philadelphia City Commissioners for twenty years, until McHenry died and Osser went to jail? Sources: the Bulletin Almanac 1952 source in both articles attests to their election. McHenry's death is footnote 2 of his article. Osser's conviction and resignation are footnotes 7 and 8 of his article.

  • These two articles are long enough and new enough. The hook facts are sourced inline and accepted in good faith, some being behind a paywall. The articles are neutral and neither Earwig nor I detected any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, and was wondering why, if you have access to the "Publishers Extra" at Newspapers.com. you didn't clip the newspaper articles for open access? Yoninah (talk) 08:15, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I think the website's terms of service prevent me from doing that on every story, but I'll be glad to do it temporarily if there's some fact you need to verify. --Coemgenus (talk) 10:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Never mind, I see the facts in the headlines! Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:54, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
