Eighteen-year-old Michael Brown shot and killed by police in Missouri
Hi. I assessed this article not-ready in its current form. It's really not at all bad for a first submission, and you'd addressed various stuff noted on the talk page, for which, thank you. But, comparing to the sources, I found more passages too-close-to-source than I felt I could repair within my role as independent reviewer. I tried to make clear what's needed in my review comments, which see. Also of interest,.

The first article submitted to Wikinews is usually a major learning experience. Occasionally a first article gets published on first review; sometimes published after one or more revisions; and sometimes, frustratingly, it doesn't make it to publication &mdash; but it is an important learning experience. It's been remarked we have a steep initial learning curve, but it's fortunately fairly short, after which things get much easier; and we try to help folks up that initial curve. --Pi zero (talk) 02:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
