@ Paine Ellsworth: Hello and thank you for your efforts to improve this template! Actually, I would like to let you know that, as per the conversation starting here, I have deliberately chosen to avoid the inclusion of leading articles in the list. As it stands ATM, the list is simple and consistent throughout in its non-use, as distinct from individual pages where that is not necessarily the case. Thanks.

Hello again. Yes - I guess we can agree to disagree on simplicity. Once again, the main driver for simplification (before spacing became an issue here) was the inconsistent use of articles when it comes to newspapers. I have spent the last few months examining in detail each and every one of the links on these template pages (probably around 250+ in total), and the only consistency is inconsistency (hence my desire to make these templates consistent). So perhaps, for the next step, it might be good for us to connect this to WP policy, which tends to clarify. Thanks again. JabberJaw (talk) 02:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
This template is hard to follow and unintuitive. It lists the Observer in two time periods but not one in the middle. Arranging by time period might not be the best way to do this. Any ideas for improvements? Donama ( talk) 00:31, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
