Citation to Las Vegas paper.

This citation <ref>[[Las Vegas Review-Journal]], 14 March 2007, Page 3B</ref> is a violation of copyright. Copyright law requires giving credit to the author of a work (even if the license associated with the copyright is held by a corporation). There is no credit here for the author of the article in the paper (nor is there a mention of the work -- only of the page of the paper where it is located). As a minimum, the citation ought to include something like: Smith, John, Local Squadron gets new drone.

Correcting the citation appears impossible. First (ironically) the paper's online archives extend back to April 2007 and the date given for article is in March 2007. I tried googling it several different ways -- if you can come up with a search that brings the articl up, I'd prefer correcting the citation to removing it, but I can't find the information I need on the web, and I don't live near Las Vegas.

Full (or at least partial) disclosure: I also see the link to a Wikipedia Article in the citation, not to the reference as (unintentional/good faith) misleading. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many small news articles don't get a byline; they don't indicate the author's name (see 7th Infantry Division#Second World War). However, this doesn't have a title either. What I will do is place the partial citation in the 'Further reading' section, because if we remove the partial citation from the article entirely, no-one even if they live in Las Vegas can ever look up the full details!!
