It seems the Gulf Daily News archive only goes back about four years.
my letter of March 16, 2010
[edit]- I am a wikipedia volunteer. I started a wikipedia article on Lt Col Abdulaziz Saleh Sultan Sinan Al Dossary.
- Yesterday Lt Col Al Dossary's article was nominated for deletion, which prompted me to take another look at it. When I first drafted that article I based it on an article you published on May 11, 2006 -- http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=143241&Sn=BNEW&IssueID=29052
- This article is no longer in your archive.
- It seems you may discard everything in your archive that is more than four years old. Can I ask you if you did decide to discard everything in your that was more than four years old?
- I listed all 392 wikipedia articles that cite the Gulf Daily News here -- http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Geo_Swan/Scratch/Gulf_Daily_News_articles
- I may spend time -- I think it would require several days -- trying to sort out which of those links to your archive you are no longer honouring.
- I am telling you this, and supplying you with this list, to inform whatever internal discussion you may have as to whether you should keep all your old articles online.
- Cheers!
