[edit] Hurricane Katrina's effect on the T-P
Did the Times-Picayne halt printing due to the onset of Hurricane Katrina? Curiosity is getting the better of me. --DXI 19:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
The article states, "It became The Times-Picayune after merging with its rival paper in 1914." What was the rival's name: simply The Times, or The New Orleans Times? – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 01:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Masthead
[[Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg -->|thumb|100px]] Great image to use, headline wise. What are the two flags on the right-hand side of the masthead in the image? — OwenBlacker 10:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

- They look like hurricane warning flags, but I'm no sailor. W i k i W i s t a h W a s s a p 18:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spanish Coinage Myth?
You know, it's sort of an article of faith around here to say that the name of the paper originated with the Spanish coin. But, if the paper began in 1837, wouldn't the price of a paper that long after the Louisiana Purchase be in US coinage? I mean, there was a branch of the U.S. Mint in New Orleans from 1835 and dimes and half-dimes were being minted there in 1838! So in a major city, in a state of the United States of America, which by 1837 had been a state for 25 years, I had to find a teeny Spanish coin to buy the newspaper? We couldn't be THAT far removed from full citizenship in this nation, could we? Oh, wait. Maybe we still are? I'm going to ask for a citation for this article of faith. --Economy1 (talk) 16:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- The picayune thing is, in fact, sort of "official myth" at the paper. Spanish dollars did continue in use in the southwest up into the 1840s, though, their value in a transaction being reckoned at such-and-such a percentage of a U.S. gold dollar (or the other way round, probably). But that was mostly out in the boonies, on the New Mexico cattle trails and such, where people would accept practically any coinage or tender with inherent value. Minor coinage in a major city like N.O. presumably had gone American long before 1837. However, at that time, "picayune" was already Creole slang for "ridiculously small or inexpensive," so the best guess that I've heard is that the paper was simply marketing itself as cheap. --Michael K. Smith (talk) 01:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
