Syrian bakery gives life support to Kurdish fighters, civilians
Hi. Thanks for your interest in this article. As I noted in my review comments, it still has the single-source problem, and also still has a specificity problem (which I hadn't remarked on in the earlier review).

It looks as if AP are the only source of detailed information about that place, so my best guess is there won't be a simple way to provide mutually independent sources on the story. Unless there's a beautiful way to make it work that I'm not seeing... which, if so, I can't describe because I'm not seeing it. (I'd know it if I saw it, presumably.) --Pi zero (talk) 22:45, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hockey Hall of Fame legend suffers stroke
The two difficulties I noted with this (on first observation) were specificity and freshness, both elements of WN:newsworthiness. See my review comments.

Not to worry too much; it usually takes folks a bit of adjustment to get the hang of Wikinews writing. For most folks our initial learning curve seems to be steep-but-short, and once they're over it things get lots easier (though hopefully we never stop learning). --Pi zero (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
