I was thinking that we could break it down into sub categories. -- stop the bleeding

This is a great idea! Kudos.--Skinner

My major concern(s) are duplicate articles and maintaining simple organization once there are several articles added. Any thoughts on this from those of you that are working on this? This page needs to be easy to read, and manageable for research.--stop the bleeding

Agreed. We need to avoid simply throwing everything onto the list. Everything is pretty chaotic in this forum right now, because I think people are still figuring out what to do with it. But hopefully over time we will develop some standards for all this stuff. --Skinner

You could require that article titles be copied from articles (word for word), then the articles could be organized alphabetically (within appropriate subcategory, of course) and duplicates would be easy to spot for newbies and pros alike. --melissinha

I have been trying to use the strategy of using the article's title for the link title along with having the source off to the right to keep things organized, and this has worked so far. Also I have been trying to keep it somewhat chronological and will put dates in with the link if article is dated. A few of the first artcles on this thread need to be arranged in order by date. Any related articles I try to note as well. I have been extrememly busy with trying to keep up on new news, and I fear that I may be missing articles from one day to the next. Any more advice or help with this would be appreciated. -- stop the bleeding

While you were responding I kept brainstorming and came to same conclusion, here's a suggestion for a format:
November 15, 2005 Bush didn’t Mislead on War, advisor said {/u]–lasvegassun.com (AP)
or
Bush didn’t Mislead on War, advisor said {/u], November 15, 2005–lasvegassun.com (AP)

I agree chronological order is very important to this research and show development of trends and stories. But people need to beware that you will often see duplicate articles as a result of wire services' articles. Above referenced article was written by an AP writer, and will be noted in local websites or sites like yahoo follwoing the title. Perhaps some designation in parentheses(AP) could follow the source indicating that original source was AP. jsut some thoughts. --melissinha
