, article looks good, although
Cbl62, is there a reason you are not using the "access-date" parameter in the {{Cite news}} template? You use it for the {{Cite web}} template. Article is long enough and recently expanded. It appears within policy. The hook is short enough and really interesting. Waiting on QPQ, please ping me when it is done. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 16:56, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Gonzo fan2007: QPQ has now been added. As for use of "accessdate", that's how I was taught to do it 15 or 16 years ago and have been doing it that way ever since. The logic was as follows: Access date is used so that we can find a dead website through searches on the Internet Archives. In the case of daily newspapers accessed via Newspapers.com or Newspaperarchive.com, the key date for retrieval is the date when the newspaper was published and the accessdate does not assist in retrieval from Newspapers.com/Newspaperarchive.com -- accordingly, I have always included the date the newspaper was published.
