Federal lawsuit against super PACs and their donors
You can't write a Wikinews article about yourself, and shouldn't be trying to. See WN:COI. My review comments are here. --Pi zero (talk) 04:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia and Wikinews
As some one who writes both, there are ... really BIG style differences. Examples of how this is different:


 * commons:Category:Justine Smethurst‎ is Commons.
 * w:User:LauraHale/Justine Smethurst‎ is Wikipedia.
 * Japanese national team beats ACT softball team is Wikinews.

You don't use inline citations on Wikinews. Images credit the author. You write in active voice, not passive voice. You can write about yourself even less on Wikinews. (you can write about people you know, but the safest place for that is sport and that isn't where you are writing.) --LauraHale (talk) 04:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

FEC revisits statutes that led to super PACs and unlimited spending
Hi! This looks like quite an interesting development. There are significant challenges in attempting to turn it into a news article. I've tried to write extensive &mdash;and hopefully helpful :-)&mdash; feedback in the review comments. Admittedly, OR can be even more challenging than synthesis, and can be even more fraught with COI hazards.  --Pi zero (talk) 13:20, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
