Conventions for newspaper content on Wikisource

The naming has been standardized, but there is considerable variation in how it is implemented. You may see Dewey Defeats Truman (bare title) or Chicago Daily Tribune/Dewey Defeats Truman (periodical/Title Case) or Chicago Daily Tribune/Dewey defeats Truman (periodical/Sentence case) or The Chicago Daily Tribune/Dewey Defeats Truman (periodical/no year) or Chicago Daily Tribune/1948/Dewey Defeats Truman (periodical/year only) or Chicago Daily Tribune/1948/11/03/Dewey Defeats Truman (periodical/full date/Title Case). The optimal would be Chicago Daily Tribune/1948/11/03/Dewey Defeats Truman but all the other variations exist, and at some time in the future they will need to be harmonized.

The way individual articles from a common publication are aggregated and indexed also varies. It ranges from automated aggregation to a half dozen ways of manually aggregating them in various formats, such as lists and sortable tables, with and without annotations about the individual articles. There are also various schemes to index them by year and month using categories. See for example:

• The New York Times
• New York Times
• Portal:New York Times
• Category:The New York Times
• Category:The New York Times by date

They will have to merged and harmonized in the future. There are also article titles containing annotations such as New York Times/1900/Advertisement: Epson Salts and New York Times/1900/Obituary: John Smith. There are also entries where the article has no formal title and a fragment of the first sentence serves as the title: New York Times/1900/Today something amazing happened" or New York Times/1900/Today something amazing happened ….
