Talk:Death toll from earthquake in Syria and Turkey surpasses 20,000

Notes for Gryllida
Earwig's findings of similarity were mostly quotes and the sources' headlines, which were listed in the article, of course. I did make this edit for distance. I then began checking for verifiability and encountered the problem mentioned above. --Heavy Water (talk) 01:09, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * That was resolved, I made this minor edit to remove repetition, curly quotes, and add nuance from a source. Heavy Water (talk) 04:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm going to publish this now, @Gryllida, as it's very time-sensitive; by what the experts are saying, a few more hours and this would be out-of-date. I am, of course, still wishing to hear any remarks you may have about my review of this article. Heavy Water (talk) 05:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Review of revision 4708696 [Not ready]

 * Oh no. I don't know what just happened there. I checked "pass" on all boxes, but it appears we have duplicate entries. Fortunately it did not go to the feed. --Heavy Water (talk) 05:12, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Review of revision 4708701 [Passed]

 * OK, that worked. Ignore the not-ready above, I don't know what happened to EzPR there. --Heavy Water (talk) 05:15, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The first time I saw HW as reviewer. Congrats to both (SVT for you article being published and HW for being as reviewer). --223.191.34.114 (talk) 05:28, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually I comment it, forgot to log in. --DRC-B5 (talk) 05:29, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. It was not my best work. But it felt important that Wikinews covered this event which is surely the biggest news since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I had to make the focal event about the death toll as the quake itself was nearing stale territory. Overall, it was a bit rushed and short. Thanks for reviewing.

 * I think it was good. I got very nervous for a second when I saw I had accidentally made a passing and failing review, thinking it had affected the feeds (it had not). My pleasure to review, although I must say that...me reviewing an article of yours felt...very strange. --Heavy Water (talk) 05:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @SVTCobra, I forgot this last night, but Forbes is semi-paywalled. They let you read four articles (likely per month) if you don't have a subscription. Fortunately, I don't read Forbes so that was my first free article. Heavy Water (talk) 16:51, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Good to know. Thanks. SVTCobra 16:53, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I was just given the reviewer right, hopefully staleness will become less prevalent in the near future. Heavy Water (talk) 05:33, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
