Maine man kills self in Aroostook County Jail
Hi. I'm hopeful for this article; on review, it does need some improvements, that I deemed beyond my purview as independent reviewer (the reviewer has to stay sufficiently uninvolved, or disqualify themself from publishing). I fixed up various peripheral stuff, and did my best to explain in the review comments what's needed; by my understanding, the article can still be fresh if we get it revised, reviewed, and published Thursday or, at the outside, Friday. --Pi zero (talk) 03:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Btw, Wikinews keeps time, so "midnight" takes place at 8pm US Eastern Time (at this time of year); so when I say "Thursday or Friday", that means before 8pm on Friday in Maine.  --Pi zero (talk) 03:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, in the end I couldn't justify stretching freshness far enough to publish. This was very close to making publication, though; only the time delays in the review-revise-resubmit cycle tripped it up. Hopefully, with experienced gained from this, those time delays can be cut down in future. See review comments, . --Pi zero (talk) 03:51, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

National Football League from United States Senators: zero tolerance on domestic violence
Hi. This needs some information added, more than I can do as reviewer, but seems fairly straightforward. The catch is that, unless there's some new development that can be added, this would need to be revised, resubmitted, reviewed, and published all within the next 21 hours or so. Review comments. Also perhaps of interest, but not needed for the immediate revision task: . --Pi zero (talk) 02:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, I will get on this and add the info about the new policy. I think I will change the statement about the critisim of the Rice event to the new policy and use the Rice event as an example. ThanksBobmallard (talk) 03:10, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
