Missing References

@ChangeDavid I noticed your recent addition to this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goa&diff=1257994025&oldid=1256077575). Could you add references to the statements I tagged as unsourced? LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 06:16, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @LeónGonsalvesofGoa, I made the addition. Please let me know if anything else is needed. ChangeDavid (talk) 08:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve reviewed the references you included, and they both link to the same article. Apart from the sentence for which I found supporting content in the article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goa&diff=1258116248&oldid=1257994025), could you provide statements from the reference you added (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Etching-its-name-on-the-pages-of-history/articleshow/43656243.cms) that substantiates each of the sentences you added?

Historically, the media in Goa grew in the late 1800's before being clamped down on during the rule of António de Oliveira Salazar.
The first printing press in Goa was founded in 1556.
Prior to this the only existing presses were those of the government and individual family presses existing to print the political newspapers.
Tipografia Rangel was among the leaders in providing print media to a larger section of society in Goa.

Also, I'm glad you were able to find references for this content (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goa&diff=1258138137&oldid=1258137412), can you add the additional information, like author, publication title, year, etc? This way, it's clear that you are using a reliable source. LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 04:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
