Citation template parameters
Please read the citation template documentation. You're using various parameters incorrectly. In particular:
- The work title (name of the publication) always goes in
|work=or one of its medium-specific aliases (|newspaper=,|website=,|magazine=,|journal=, etc.). Never use the|publisher=parameter for this. It is for the publishing company only, and only when this differs significantly from the publication title. - The publication date goes in
|date=, never in|issue=, which is only for issue numbers of publications with numbered issues. - Publisher location information never goes in
|publisher=or|work=, only in|location=, and it does not use US state abbreviations:|work=The Morning Call|location=Allentown, Pennsylvania - Don't use UK-style DMY dates, but MDY ones, in articles on American topics, unless there's a very good reason to use DMY (e.g., a military topic; the US military uses DMY date format).
- SCREAMING ALL-CAPS TITLES should be reduced to Title Case Like This.
- A minor point, but there is no reason to use
|first1=and|last1=when there is only one author; just use|first=and|last=, otherwise it looks like the citation is incomplete.
