Article about Wagner Group's rebellion
I started an article titled Private mercenary group rebels against Russia about this same event before Prigozhin halted the advance. I had submitted it for review but the story developed too quickly and the article now needs to be updated.

You are free to incorporate parts of or all of that article into yours or finish the one I started. I doubt I will have time to do much work at all on this one now.

I use html comments to cite my sources for reviewers. You can see the comments using Source editor mode.

Let me know if you have any questions. I might have some time later this week to work on the story — should you decide not to complete your version. If you continue working on yours, I'll step back and let you take it over the finish line.

 * I am relatively new to Wikinews and therefore lack experience. However, I believe we can collaborate on the article you previously created and further develop it. I expect that your article is relatively issue-free, unlike mine, which may contain some errors and be relatively brief. I am willing to contribute to your version by providing suggestions and exploring other avenues to enhance its quality. Thanks. Asked42 (talk) 14:16, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Great! Feel free to jump right in and edit the article started: Private mercenary group rebels against Russia. Feel free to adjust what I have already composed by changing tense, adding or subtracting content, etc.


 * It should be relatively straight-forward for you to incorporate your content starting around "On Saturday, 24th of June, the Wagner Group began to withdraw..." into the background content I have and expand from there. Remember the focus of the article. The title dictates the who, what, when, and where. If you want to continue with the "stability" angle of your article, you'll have to adjust the article slightly to reflect that and then make the content flow through the inverted pyramid. You'll also have to change my title, which is easy to do (click on "More" at the top and select "Rename").


 * I do think the stability question is now the main concern regarding the incident.


 * Here are a couple links to articles I've collected since the incident, in hopes of updating and expanding what I started:

 * https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/06/24/how-the-mutiny-in-russia-will-shape-the-battlefield-in-ukraine


 * The following Twitter list has a lot of good, open-source intelligence (OSI) that can get you links, help make sense of things, provide context, etc. Just be careful about using any OSI as a direct source for an article. You have to vet it all very carefully yourself. I've never tried to use it as a direct source so I don't know if it's permitted. But I do often rely on it to get context and links to stronger (and more-mainstream) sources: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1483456727219683332?s=20


 * Again, feel free to jump in to what I created and do what you need to do with it. For the next day or two I won't have a lot of time to help. I may have more time closer to the end of this week. Don't wait for me and don't worry about me being offended by your changes to anything I have already composed.

 * I will try to do it based on my expertise. Whenever you have time, please make the necessary changes to that edit. If it doesn't seem very good, simply undo it and do what should be done. Also, I believe it is risky to entrust the initial work to a newbie. Perhaps, I will try! Thanks! Asked42 (talk) 17:52, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Adiprush article
Please look at my comments on the Talk page for that article. We have a certain tone/style we favor here. I have left you some suggestions there. Let me know if I can help you in some way.--Bddpaux (talk) 21:37, 30 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I have seen your comment on the talk page of the Adipurush article, and I will do my best to follow a news-style approach and incorporate the suggested edits you made. I don't have a journalistic background, so this is quite different and somewhat challenging for me. Another challenge I encounter while writing articles is that English is not my native language, which may result in tone and tense issues. Thank you for your help.

France article
Excellent start on that article. Keep at it!--Bddpaux (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I am struggling with this sentence: " Authorities have reported numerous arrests and injuries, including among police officers." I am not sure about the meaning of that. Are police officers being arrested AND being injured?--Bddpaux (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The sentence means that police officers are also sustaining injuries. Asked42 (talk) 16:35, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This sentence was based on examples of reports and clashes, which can be found in the third and last source articles. Asked42 (talk) 16:48, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. --Bddpaux (talk) 16:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

kenya story
is it stale yet? Thank you. HushPuppie280 (talk) 22:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)


 * As per WN:Stale, "An unpublished article is typically considered stale when it's five to seven days old." So I guess it may become stale. However, I am unaware of what the exceptions are. Asked42 (talk) 22:24, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
