The Christian Science Monitor has been using the berliner format much longer than the J&C cited in the article, anyone know how long though? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FozzyMaple (talk • contribs) 20:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Renamed from "Berliner (newspaper)" to avoid confusion with the Berliner newspaper. -- Picapica 13:44, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why's the format called that, if the Berliner newspaper doesn't use it? --Oolong 11:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I've added an explanation (and the reference I got it from) to the article - basically, it's "Berliner" as in "Berlin" (like Parisien or Mancunian or whatever) and dates way back before the First World War. - IMSoP 22:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
