Talk:Angeli Foods

Possible additional sources

• [1]
• [2]
• [3]
• Presumably, the Iron County Reporter and Mining Journal archives
• The Iron River store was briefly closed in 1918 by the US Food and Drug Administration for violating food safety standards, and Alfred Angeli was arrested in 1945 for selling ungraded potatoes. (seems kind of minor)

NMU and Peter White Public Library are working to digitize The Mining Journal at https://uplink.nmu.edu/islandora/object/nmu%3A5855 As of this posting, they have up through 1955 done. There are other papers available, but you have to search them individually, unlike Newspapers.com or NewspaperArchive.com. (As a quick aside, both of those sites allow clippings which when linked, are freely available without subscriptions for others to read.) Imzadi 1979 → 20:33, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Imzadi1979. I hadn't seen that! What a delightful resource, one I wish I had when I was writing college papers with Mining Journal and Iron Ore (Ishpeming) microfilm archives.Unfortunately, the site is rather difficult to search at the moment... searches for "Angeli" + words are bringing up matches for "Evangeline", "Lake Angeline" etc. I will try a few other combinations and see what comes back. Angeli's only expanded to Marquette in the 1970s, which is when I'd expect the most coverage.

On the currently used newspaper archives, that was brought up in the recent GAN. I'd forgotten about the clipping ability while writing the article. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 16:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Interesting story on plenty of sources, few offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I accept the original hook, finding the ALT pale in comparison. The image is licensed but unimpressive. The logo would tell the story but we can probably not use it. I suggest to think about the hook further:

1. we could drop "earlier" as redundant
2. we might say "three generations" instead of "one family", sounds more impressive
3. we might add the year of founding (and then might drop "first")

Just thoughts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda Arendt! I proposed ALT2 above for your thoughts. I like including the first in the hook, as that's part of the novelty. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 17:50, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

That's fine with me. Only, next time please don't word a new hook above the approval icon which makes it automatically approved. No need to change for this one, as I do approve it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

This is a quickfail. The prose quality needs improvement (it's mushy), and it doesn't feel tight or broad. If a page gives me Doug Coldwell vibes, I won't hesitate to return it to sender.

I want to make a few observations that are more specific:

• This article would benefit from an infobox instead of/partly incorporating three images stuffed in the top right.
• Consider if the topics of your redlinks are actually notable.
• Clip your NewspaperArchive articles (which represent more than 25 percent of the sources, so that's important!). It might be a bit tedious. (Best way: keep a tab opened to [4] as you clip and copy links as needed.) But this way people without subscriptions can view the content. If this were a better article, I'd hold the page on this alone.
• I understand that the archives generally don't have the newspapers you need (unless you can get, say, NewsBank Access World News for recent-years Marquette and Milwaukee).

I was surprised to see a page nominated in this condition from a user with 28 FAs.
