- Ceyockey Thanks for your edit and the WP:RS. If anything is important and relevant in the articles, you can add it, even if it is behind a paywall. I'm curious how you came across this article... --David Tornheim (talk) 05:26, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- If David Tornheim you refer to the newspaper articles, these were found using a newspapers.com annual account obtained through the Wikipedia Library. The articles noted above are only viewable via a premium newspapers.com account, and only a verrry limited snippet view is available to standard account holders. If you are referring to how I found this wikipedia article to edit, it was through the New Pages Patrol. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:21, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

You mean since you aren't a premium holder, you can't look at it either? I know I have had that problem on issues where I knew the WP:RS existed and Google showed me the quote, but I couldn't get to the page! Errg. Guess I have to go to the library and look at the microfiche if I don't want to cave in to paying. Fun fun fun...- @David Tornheim: that's right -- I am unwilling to spring the $$ to get at the copy.

Thanks for letting me know. It's wonderful that you came and improved the article rather than sent it to WP:AfD. I made sure it had enough WP:RS that it would likely pass AfD. It is a rare pleasure to see that kind of work from a new editor on brand new article. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:50, 20 May 2017 (UTC)- Well, I don't do it frequently, but I have for a number of companies in different industries as there is usually information available for older companies, and the coverage of companies here needs a lot of work (as opposed to the coverage of professional cricket players :-) ); I used to be an active member of WikiProject Companies. I'm less active here than I used to be, opting to split my time between here and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:11, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
