Girl found dead in truck in Northamptonshire, England
I draw your attention, as reviewer of the article, to this thread. --Pi zero (talk) 23:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Reviewing
Please remember to copy/edit an article before it is published. In the case of Study shows that aspirin might do more harm than good, I was copy/editing the article and it was reviewed while I did so. Because we are monitored by Google news, it is important to make sure we make as little edits as possible after we publish the article. I say this because there were some very minor grammar and punctuation isues with the article, as well as slight, very slight, copyvio issues. So in the long run, its best to closely look at articles before reviewing. Aside from that, good job and keep up the good work :) Happy editing :) DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 20:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I just found this myself, there is a handy template to add to articles as you are reviewing them: . Please note you must remove this template PRIOR to using 'easy peer review' as I am not sure this template is set to work with the gadget.

 * I'm not too happy with the state of this article either. It is very confusing whether or not there were two surveys or one. There's no mention of asprin's properties that cause it to be prescribed for heart issues, and it doesn't really provide the study's conclusions in an understandable manner. I don't see any clear point on the review that it could have been failed - except possibly style. It does a terrible job of answering the 5 W and H. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't think it was anywhere near perfect, but I couldn't see anything worth failing it over. I thought, "It's a wiki, someone will fix the (minor) issues". I'm sorry if I did the wrong thing—I'm still learning the exact science of reviewing. Den dodge T\C(en.wp) 23:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * An article should be in near "perfect" condition before publishing. It can be expanded after publishing, but that doesn't mean it should be faulty in any way when published. In my opinion, it is expected of the reviewer to make style changes (including spelling and links) and ensure things are categorized properly. They certainly should not "pass" without these fixes being made. If you don't have time for them, then let someone else review. Sorry for butting in. --SVTCobra 00:14, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll remember that for next time. Den dodge T\C(en.wp) 08:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

review needed
Can you review This article please --RockerballAustralia (talk) 09:10, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

thanks--RockerballAustralia (talk) 10:39, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for [ this edit]. I didn't know that we had to do it. I am a new user so I don't know much about WikiNews. Srin ivas  14:42, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Dalai Lama plans to visit Arunachal Pradesh
Hello sir, thank you for reviewing the article. I have also seen your comment on the talk page, but I am sorry as I am unfamiliar with WikiNews' guidelines. I have searched throughout the Wikinews namespace and I couldn't find a help index to help new users :-(. See this: WP:HELP. I would suggest or request such a page for Wikinews too. What more, I don't know what is the style of grammar to be used on Wikinews and how to copy-edit. Could you please answer my doubts, thank you (in advance), Srin  ivas  04:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Checking unsighted additions
I noticed you sighted this edit while I was checking it. The only problem was there were four sources for one added fact. Once I'd checked, I could take three of those sources out. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:08, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan finds water on moon
You reviewed and passed this when there was no date template on the article. That should never happen. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Homeopathy proponents jailed for allowing daughter to die
Nice work at Homeopathy proponents jailed for allowing daughter to die. I reviewed this, and made it Lead 1. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 21:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

New Main Page Progress
I just posted a status update of the main page redesign progress. Since you've been heavily involved with the process so far (and things have been quiet for a few days), I wanted to give you a heads up. -- Shakata Ga Nai ^_^ 17:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

H3 in articles
Noticed you being 'that picky' ;-) It's in WN:ARCHIVE because that's what I formulated to standardise and get best/consistent appearance when I initially started mass-archiving; you're right, probably should be in the SG. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:29, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi Dendodge! Would you be interested if I nominated you for an administrator status? We could always do with a few more admins, and you know our policies well and are fairly active, so i think you'd do well with the extra bits. Let me know if you're interested. :-) Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  14:12, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nominated, see WN:RFA. Don't forget to accept! Smile.png Tempodivalse [talk]  20:31, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

You're an admin
Make your first act as admin to close your own RFA. It's a ritual passed down from long long ago. (Plus us crat's are lazy). Anyways, have fun, break a leg, ban a user... etc. -- Shakata Ga Nai  ^_^ 18:58, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Congrats. By the way, I think you are the first person that Shak has tricked into closing their own RfA with the "its a tradition" line.Bawolff ☺☻ 20:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Congrats, but I'm going to have to impound that car. It was stolen a little while back and for some time new admins haven't been getting at it. I'll leave you with this courtesy unicycle, from the Admin Damage Limitation and Dry Cleaning Squad. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Congratulations, welcome to the admin team. :-) I found the stolen adminmobile at the car pound, but it had a little accident after the thief tried to get away in it. You're better off with the unicycle, methinks... Smile.png Tempodivalse [talk]  20:44, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Accreditation
Hi Den,

I've closed your request for accreditation as successful. If you want an @wikinewsie.org email and access to the wiki, give Brian a shout. Good luck with reporting!   Tris   15:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me with the article "British Climatic Research Unit's emails hacked"?
I've not created it, but I hope you can suggest something and/or review it. (I've known you as I was involved in the Windows 7 article, and you were its publisher.) Q0k (talk) 12:59, 24 November 2009 (UTC) (See also another writing of mine. Q0k (talk) 13:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC))


 * Sorry for asking, the article has been published, now everyone will know this news, no more help needed. Q0k (page, talk, contributions) 05:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
