[edit] News/Archive gap

One big problem I find with trying to use GN for research is that there is an approx. 3-month gap between the available archives and the current (30-day) news service. Therefore on 1 May 2009 you can find articles from the beginning of time till the end of December 2008, and from April 2009, but not from the three months in between. Google says this is because of the processing of data from News to Archives, which may be so, but does make their service almost useless for researching how news stories have developed. 82.46.180.160 (talk) 04:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Syntax

I've figured out the syntax for subscribing to the GoogleNews feeds for any particular news source: [info] or for all the sources from one country or state: [scroll down to Sunday for brandnew examples]

I'd like some help making these feeds easily accessible, and collectively doing a Wikipedia page sounds best to me. It would be called "Google News feeds by country" and for each country or state it would offer a link to the 'location' feed for that country [eg: Iraq] followed by the individual feeds for each source in that country. --robotwisdom 11:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 9/11

Is there any truth to the anecdotal evidence that the origin of Google News was its caching of valuable news articles just after the 9/11 terrorist attacks?

[edit] Seeking feedback on Google Groups article

Hello. I wrote an article about a related topic, Google Groups. As a new Wikipedia writer, I would appreciate any feedback on my article. Please help me by posting your feedback at the Wikipedia:Article Feedback Desk. If you wrote an article and are seeking feedback on it, please post your article at the Article Feedback Desk as well. If you could suggest better ways for me to seek feedback on my article, do leave a note at my talk page. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 13:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

Introduction should be tightened up.

[edit] NPOV / whitewashing tag worth

Please provide specific parts of the article which appears whitewashed and/or please provide WP:Verifiable information or criticism of Google News. Thank you. --Click me! write to me 00:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Google news logo.gif

Image:Google news logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
