The Cadre

Hello Eric, I'm Syed Imran; the former Editor-in-Chief of The Cadre newspaper, of which the Wikipedia page you edited earlier last year. I noticed you removed the entire list of past editor-in-chief, which provided great insights to others on who was involved when. I'm requesting to kindly revert the page back with its original list of EiC's. This is the wiki Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cadre_(newspaper) ~2026-24875-31 ↗ (talk) 11:58, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Syed, I removed that section citing article 1 of the policy WP:NOTDIRECTORY ↗, which refers to simple lists. Having a list of the name of every editor-in-chief at a newspaper doesn't provide any useful information to Wikipedia readers. If you want such a list online, why not add it to your paper's website on the About page? This info doesn't belong on the paper's wiki page. If you disagree, then you can create a Wikipedia account and we can take the issue to Wikipedia:Third opinion ↗. Eric Schucht (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

The Manitoban

Hi Eric, I'm Mikaela Warkentin, the current Editor-in-Chief of the Manitoban student newspaper at the University of Manitoban. You edited our Wikipedia page/merged it into the wider University of Manitoba page, and I am wondering if there is either a way to revert this or make it so I could view what our wikipedia page used to look like. We are looking at filling out our archives and any information would be incredibly valuable. If the concern is that a wiki page dedicated to our paper wouldn't fill out enough, I do have information that could be contributed. Either way, I am curious to see what was on it!

Thank you for your time and dedication to information! Mionion75 (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Mikaela, the newspaper's wiki page lacked sources establishing its notability, so I merged it into the university's page and then converted it into a redirect. Here's a link to the page's history ↗ so you can look at older versions. Eric Schucht (talk) 15:31, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Notice of Administrators' noticeboard/ Incidents discussion

link=|25px|alt=Information icon ↗ There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗ regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Eric Schucht ↗. 4meter4 (talk) 01:27, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Please return North County Times to its own entry

Greetings Eric:

I saw the notice that the North County Times Wikipedia entry was removed and added as a section of The Daily Times-Advocate. As a longtime North San Diego County journalist and local media historian and educator, I respectfully ask that you reverse this change.

The North County Times was a merger of *two* dailies into an entirely new daily in 1995. Relegating the North County Times to a small section of the Times-Advocate is inaccurate and does a disservice to its own existence and place in local history from 1995 to 2012.

Also consider: Given that The San Diego Union-Tribune bought the North County Times in 2012 and merged it into the Union-Tribune, it would follow based on your change that the North County Times should be a small section of the Union-Tribune, with the Times-Advocate under the Union-Tribune. That has not been done, however.

Post-merger between The North County Blade-Citizen and Daily Times-Advocate in 1995, the North County Times was never referred to as the Times-Advocate or Blade-Citizen again. Therefore, the statement in the updated Times-Advocate entry that it "ceased publication as the North County Times" is problematic.

In the name of historical accuracy, I respectfully request that you leave the Daily Times-Advocate, North County Times, and San Diego Union-Tribune as fully separate entries cross-referenced as they were on Wikipedia for so many years.

:Roman,
: Well I disagree. You could request a Wikipedia:Third opinion ↗ and we can hash it out there. Otherwise I'm going to leave the page in it's current state. Eric Schucht (talk) 03:01, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
::Greetings Eric:
::I'm thinking there might be another option that could satisfy both.
::Part of the reason I'm so concerned by this is the nullification of The North County Blade-Citizen ↗, which is the second half of the North County Times (Times-Advocate plus Blade-Citizen). The Blade-Citizen's history goes back as far as the Times-Advocate, only coastal communities instead of inland, but it has no historical article in Wikipedia the way the Times-Advocate does.
::I noticed that there is a Wikipedia redirect of the Blade-Citizen to the Times-Advocate, but that does a disservice in my opinion because these were two equal dailies serving neighboring communities. It would be like the Times-Advocate redirecting to the Blade-Citizen. Plus, the Blade-Citizen is what bought the Times-Advocate to create the North County Times, so it being a redirect doesn't entirely fit that history.
::Would the eventual creation of a full Blade-Citizen article, with the same North County Times subsection added, work instead? Any other options you can think of? SDMediaMaker (talk) 01:14, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that works for me. I think it warrants an article. I'll get to work on it when I can. Eric Schucht (talk) 17:09, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Could you maybe slow down?

I intend to do before checks on some of the newspapers you've nominated, even if only to find a good redirect/merge target with sources, but you're doing a lot. Over 10 nominations a day in the same topic area multiple times a week makes that a bit difficult! Could you slow down a tad? PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:28, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

:Sorry, I thought I was giving everyone enough time by spacing things out by four days. No more nominations for now, promise! But I guarantee these are all short lived stubs with limited info. Eric Schucht (talk) 00:37, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Can you add info from Newspapers.com to East County News ↗?

Please add info (including its history) from Newspapers.com to article East County News ↗, aka Brentwood News, of Brentwood, California. Thomasfan'''1916'''[''built buses?''] 15:43, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

:Ok, I tried my best and added stuff, but a lot of the later info is still unsourced Eric Schucht (talk) 23:59, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
