Atkinson principles[edit]

I don't think that it's revelant for this article to include a bulleted list containing the full five Atkinson principles. I think that mentioning their existance (such as in the sentance currently before the bulleted list) would be sufficent. Would anyone disagree with the removal of the list? If so, can we discuss why?

Reading over that section initially I agreed with you, but now I think it is relevant for them to be here since the paper was guided by those principles. Canterbury Tail talk 12:14, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely think we should keep them. They seem pretty fundamental to how the paper operates and they are sourced. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:55, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

I think this would make an appropriate image for the infobox since it shows the lack of bounds of the Star. Would anybody be opposed to this? https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/TorontoStar.jpeg 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:D426:EBD1:AC63:C805 (talk) 18:25, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's POV-pushing. That text is a quotation to catch someone's interest (which it surely did). Unfortunately, all newspapers seem to engage in this practce these days. Moreover, the image is low quality, with terrible cropping or framing. Mind matrix 18:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
