Hurricane Florence results in mass flooding in North Carolina
I hope it was not a dynamic IP. There are some issues with the article which I have raised on the article talk page. Please have a look and update the article. It should not take much time. Also don't forget to re-submit the article once you have updated it. •–• 19:30, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Re Flood in Carolina
Hello here is a copy of the reviewer comments plus my comments below: {{mbox|text=

 * Newsworthiness: pass
 * Verifiability: fail, the NYTimes source seems to be paywalled and we can not use it. Fixed temporarily by replacing it with another source.
 * Now I have expanded the story. But there is a lot more facts to fill ... please check a handful of sources carefully and write a balanced report. I may be able to expand further however if you are familiar with the area (or at least in the same country) then it is a lot easier for you to write because you know the Geography so please consider making edits at any time.

Please view these comments here at the talk page of the article and make edits at your convenience, as soon as possible. --Gryllida (chat) 00:46, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Under review
You've been making major edits to an article that is under review, being exhaustively inspected by an authorized reviewer (me) with a banner at the top that says please do not edit this article directly but instead provide any input through comments on the talk page. --Pi zero (talk) 03:22, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I not-ready'd the earlier state of the article; your edits are there, but aren't part of what was reviewed. You may want to take a look at my review comments (on the article talk page). --Pi zero (talk) 03:29, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * (Sorry for any confusion.) --Pi zero (talk) 03:30, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to make it clear: you are welcome to edit the article now.
 * (This is because it is no longer marked with the 'under review' banner anymore.)
 * Cheers, --Gryllida (chat) 03:58, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Re: Had he lived, Daniel Barden would have entered his teenage years‎
Thanks for the story -- it seems a bit old. Obituaries imply a recent death; this one doesn't have a recent event in the first place, from what I can see.

Perhaps add another one? At first a shorter story can also be added, saving the time for you and the reviewers.

May I ask you whether you live in the United States? I'm seeing a slight focus on US topics although across several different states. Gryllida chat / how do YOU get started? 02:54, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

I live in Massachusetts and my state was hit by Hurricane Florence on the morning I wrote my article about that storm. The recent event in my obituary article is that Daniel Barden would have become a teenager last week. 173.76.101.2 (talk) 03:42, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Unblock request for an unfair block
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed that my IP address was blocked on Wikipedia in the morning. (I live in the Eastern Time Zone.) As far as I know, I have not made any vandal edits or willingly made disruptive edits here or there since the end of my block from October 9. I was acting in good faith when I made this edit from Sunday. When I get my editing privileges back, I will resume good edits rather than the senseless vandalism I made two weeks ago. 173.76.101.2 (talk) 12:44, 23 October 2018 (UTC)


 * This is Wikinews, rather than Wikipedia. This IP is not currently blocked on Wikinews, although it was blocked for a week, about three weeks ago.  I suspect there may be multiple parties using the IP, so some collateral damage may occur when blocking action is taken to prevent problematic edits by some individuals.  If possible, you may want to register an account, so that you can then use the account even if the underlying IP is blocked due to someone else's edits. --Pi zero (talk) 13:28, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
