Talk:Obama makes unannounced visit to Iraq

This story did not undergo a peer review. Doesn't the policy say that even if a story is breaking news, it still has to be independently reviewed? tempo di valse  16:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am going to Flagged_revisions/Requests_for_permissions to request the contributor who self-published and sighted have Editor removed. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In the meantime, should this be un-published? tempo di valse  16:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Or reviewed - the damage will be done. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I unpublished it, pending a proper peer review. tempo di valse  16:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I also removed the story from the main lead on the front page. Should not appear now. tempo di valse  16:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Apology
I am very sorry. I can't believe I made the title mistake. There is no excuse for that. As for self-publishing, I thought breaking news could be self-published with no PR done. This policy must have changed since I last saw it. Again, I'm sorry for the difficulties. Calebrw (talk) 17:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is a bit from the SG on the subject
 * If there is significant breaking news whose article is likely to be expanded, do go ahead and publish a short (but useful!) summary as breaking news. You can add an expand-tag. This will invite other editors to work on the article.
 * Perhaps this should be updated in accordance with flagged revs.
 * Thanks, Calebrw (talk) 17:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, no damage was done. The policy is indeed contradictory on this matter, I agree it should be updated now that we had flagged revs installed. tempo di valse  17:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * As a wiki we'll probably always be finding rather contradictory bits here and there. At least it didn't stand long... Can someone review it while I go for food? Only had a couple of croissants so far today. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
