Girl Scout Cookie Scandal 2014
Hi.

About this article. So far, it doesn't look like a news article, in that a news article (in the Wikinews sense) is written about a current event &mdash; something specific, relevant, and fresh. Fresh for a synthesis article (as opposed to original reporting, which is more difficult) means something that happened within the past day or two. If there hasn't been a development in the past day or two, there isn't a potential synthesis article there. If there has been a development, background information about the scandal doesn't come first; the start of the article is a lede succinctly answering basic questions about the focus, and the rest of the article follows an inverted pyramid.

Everything has to be sourced, btw; and text can't be copied verbatim from Wikipedia because the project licenses aren't compatible. --Pi zero (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
