Logseq/Entity/Article
Article
- In this garden, Article pages model published web articles, blog posts, essays, and similar authored pieces imported as first-class reading notes.
What counts as an Article entity
- A page whose primary identity is a specific authored article-like work, usually with a stable source URL, title, byline, and publication date.
- Article entities may live under the author, publisher, site, or existing source namespace that best matches the garden, such as
Person/<Name>/Blog/<YY>/<MM>/<slug>, <Publication>/Article/YY/MM/<Title>, or another established nearby pattern. - Blog posts filed as first-class reading notes use the more specific type Logseq/Entity/Article/Blog.
- Namespace labels such as
Blog, Article, and Essay organize the page; logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Article]] identifies the generic type. - Not Article entities: author hub pages, publication hub pages, software/project pages mentioned by an article, books, standards, or concept pages that synthesize ideas across sources.
Naming and links
- Prefer the source title as the final page segment, with year/month/day segments when the surrounding namespace uses date-based import structure.
- Use the author or publisher namespace already present in the garden when it exists. Do not create a new author or organization page only for a weak one-off byline unless the source is likely to recur.
alias:: holds real alternate titles, previous paths, or short names likely to be searched, added only when codekiln asks for them, per My/AI/Rule/Logseq/No Aliases Unless Asked.
Finding and deduplicating
- Search in order: exact source URL; exact title; normalized title words under likely author, publication, Blog, Article, and Essay namespaces; byline plus distinctive title phrase. Classify: existing, similar, new, or blocked.
- One page per source work. If the same work is mirrored in multiple places, keep one import page and list alternate source links in body or frontmatter when useful.
Creator relationship
- When the author, company, or organization that wrote the piece is clear, set
created-by:: to that entity page. - Prefer a person page for an individual byline, a company page for corporate authorship, and an organization page for institutional authorship.
- If the creator page already exists, link to the new Article entity from that creator page under the most fitting existing writing/source section.
Frontmatter
- Mark generic instances with
logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Article]]. Blog posts use logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Article/Blog]] instead. - Set
created-by:: when the creator is known. - Set
date-created:: to the publication date when known. - Optional:
logseq-created-time-year:: linking to the matching Logseq/Entity/Time/Year instance; see that page for how it differs from date-created::. - Optional:
readwise-link:: <URL> when a Readwise Reader URL is available. - Shared frontmatter conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.
Page shape
- Logseq Flavored Markdown.
- The first body block is the H1 heading with the article title linked to the original article:
- # [Article Title](https://example.com/original). - Recommended body sections are Summary, Notes, Highlights, and Links, adapted to the import source and amount of source material available.
- Prefer concise summary and notes over pasting the full article unless the import source or human request explicitly calls for full-text archival.
