- I have a physical copy of the newspaper clipping. I scanned the image in on my printer and credited the organization in the caption. If the article had been online, I would have linked to it, but this was before the internet. I added the clipping to help credit the statements in the article.

- I have a physical copy of the newspaper clipping. I scanned the image in on my printer and credited the organization in the caption. If the article had been online, I would have linked to it, but this was before this organization began uploading articles on the internet. I added the clipping to help credit the statements in the article (almost as a source). Zincpenny (talk) 12:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- You may not scan images of publications that you have in your possession, even for the purpose of using as a citation. Citations do not have to be to online sources. Instead, you can cite the journal by article title, authors, journal name, date, etc. (see {{Cite journal}}). If there is not an online archive, then intrepid editors can find library archives to verify the contents. WikiDan61 (talk) 19:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
