Wikinews Shorts: February 21, 2012
Hi. I found it not-ready on review. I see there's been some awkwardness over the ticklish boundary between standalone length and 'short' length; well, three (or better yet, four) medium-length paragraphs do suffice for a standalone article. Anyway, here are my review comments, and. --Pi zero (talk) 00:55, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

U.S. Army identifies remains of last U.S. soldier unaccounted for in Iraq
Found not ready, needs a lede. Note that I did not do source-checking; I did however do about all I could short of that; see the, and reviewer comments. --Pi zero (talk) 03:15, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Abram, Where in the upload process are you? You're tyring to put it on Wikimedia Commons? How large is the file? Crtew (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Abram, Just looked over the article... You may have some problem with NPOV with the lead. I know you're going for a soft feature approach but make it neutral and put the nut graph up top. / I would like to see you data where you're making the connections. Are you going to include some of those points in the article? / Another point you might ask about in Indiana is that because the state doesn't include sexual orientation and relies on the city or county for protecting that group, homosexuals do not enjoy the same protections as heterosexuals in employment. / I know you're still in the development phase, so I don't want to burden you with too much. I'll be checking in to get more info on the your graphic Crtew (talk) 00:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

French serial killer article
Hi, I've left a comment on this. At-present it is just a list of sentences. I've reproduced my comment from the talk page below:

Style

 * Per Wikinews' style guide, articles should be a minimum of three paragraphs, presented in Inverted pyramid structure, and use active voice.


 * It is also recommended, to speed the review process, that you include html comments marking facts and quotes in the article with a note of which specific source they are taken from. Thanks for any help you can give in making reviewing easier!

Sorry to "tag 'n' dash", but I've not much time. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:49, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Published (France fears serial killer responsible for recent murders)
Congratulations.

There were some passages that wanted to be further from the sources, and I believe I pulled one bit that I didn't manage to find. See my review comments, and the. --Pi zero (talk) 00:28, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Hidden costs of debit cards
Hi,

I've, very quickly, looked at this article. You do have a story, but it needs a huge amount of work. Wikinews does not publish blog-style content, but items have to be well-researched - either through mainstream press, or with copious Original Reporting notes.

Plus, a conversational tone, appropriate for a blog, is not accepted on Wikinews.

I'd like to see you take a much more hard-nosed, and hard-facts approach to this topic, and I think you could produce something that could be published. I'm not saying it will be easy, quite the opposite. However, the standards we set will mean your work is far, far harder for anyone to challenge. We, perhaps, are the last news outlet that demands credible sourcing and quality research. Whilst we might agree, at least anecdotally, with what you're asserting, it has to be presented in an unassailable manner. The rewards are, I assure you, worth the effort of fitting in to our standards. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
