Numbers

The article currently says INSP includes 48 papers from 29 countries, but the sixth reference says 94 papers and 36 countries. Would that be more accurate? rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 22:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

48 papers came from a news article. I guess it got bigger since then. Some of the papers in the list are dead or at least temporarily not printing, but many enough to put it down to 48. I changed it to 94 papers and 36 countries in the article. Thanks for pointing it out. --Apoc2400 (talk) 23:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I work for the International Network of Street Papers. Thanks for your entries on INSP, the Street News Service and various street papers, this is much appreciated. Part of what i'd edited was the information about the Homeless World Cup - We dont actually run the HWC - we are connected to the organisation through Mel Young, but have no involvement in the event. Mel was a co-founder of INSP and founded the HWC. Do you work with a street paper or just have a general interest in the street paper movement. I'd be happy to liaise with you over the entries.

Hi INSP, thanks for this information. Apoc2400 and I don't work for any street papers, we are just interested in the movement and work on the relevant Wikipedia articles in our spare time. I will contact you by e-mail so you have my address. Best, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I am glad it's appreciated. It's me and rʨanaɢ who wrote most of the articles. Neither of us have any connection to street papers. We are just interested and like to write Wikipedia articles. I'm sorry I got it wrong about the HWC. I have corrected it now. You are very welcome to correct mistakes and suggest changes. You can post messages on article talk pages like this one, on my talk page, or email me at apoc2400@gmail.com

One thing that would be very useful is if you have photos of people selling street papers or other related pictures, and INSP is willing to license them under a free license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. We have some pictures already at Commons:Category:Street papers, but we could use more. --Apoc2400 (talk) 16:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Especially useful would be images of street newspaper covers or pages themselves, if there are any that INSP holds the copyright to and is able to release under CC-BY-SA (which is the least "free" of the free licenses that Wikipedia accepts). Currently the main Street newspaper article is using two copyrighted newspaper covers (one from The Big Issue, one from Spare Change News) to as fair use images to illustrate some street newspaper styles; if we had covers that were released under a free license, though, that would be much better. I don't know if INSP holds those copyrights, though. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 16:12, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

new logo

Article includes INoSP logo File:International Network of Street Papers logo.jpg, but INoSP has apparently switched to new logo. Checked Internet Archive Wayback Machine archive of INoSP main webpage and latest archive with old logo was 2011 Aug 23 while earliest archive with new logo was 2011 Oct 1. Hope the Wikipedia article will include new logo in addition to the old logo. --EarthFurst (talk) 09:29, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Paid contributions

Hi all,

Full disclosure as per the guidelines, I am affiliated with INSP and am using this talk page to discuss the UPE tag added to the page in April 2020 by Graywalls. There are two users which are clearly from INSP who edited the page in 2009 and 2017, but both rounds of edits seem to have been reversed shortly after, so I'm not sure how that is deemed to "set the tone" in INSP's own interests. So:

• What is the process for getting the tag assessed and removed?
• There is some outdated information on the page, which I can at least advise on and provide references to, if needed.

Thanks. MacaroniRadio (talk) 15:02, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I change the information based on what's available in a secondary source and cleared the template. You can make your requests by following these instructions. I feel uncertain about the notability of this organization as far as meeting WP:NORG. One of the requirements is a significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources and one of that source is to be a national, international or at the absolute minimum, regional. I found coverage in Washington Post, but it was a brief mention. Any of the papers under its umbrella wouldn't qualify for establishing notability, because they're not fully independent. Sort of like writing an article about a company based on information on subsidiary companies. Graywalls (talk) 22:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

moved aside content

In 2008, it began giving annual awards for top street newspaper journalism in several categories. INSP co-founder Mel Young also organises the annual Homeless World Cup.

Sources to go with it: https://web.archive.org/web/20160304064159/http://www.scotsman.com/news/now-football-is-coming-homeless-1-962175 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-secretary-of-state-has-reappointed-mel-young-as-the-scotland-member-of-uk-sport https://www.theguardian.com/society/2006/may/31/homelessness.communities

I don't quite know where this should go, so I am setting this here. probably putting it back in soon Graywalls (talk) 22:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
