Rare Giant Egg to be Auctioned at Christie's for $40,000
Hi. As some one likely to review Rare Giant Egg to be Auctioned at Christie's for $40,000, there are a couple of changes that will likely be required. Wikinews does not report on future events. Thus, it will not happy but it is SCHEDULED to happen. The currency also needs to be specified as international readers may not know. Beyond that, do you have a news source beyond the Huffington Post to establish newsworthiness? Ditto the Cousel & Heal site? Neither of these look particularly like newspaper sources, and there appears to be no original reporting component involved to alleviate that concern. --LauraHale (talk) 07:13, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi! Well, the Huffington Post is a canadian newspaper, afaik, but I have more: If this is not enough, I will understand. I was aware that I could make several mistakes on my first-ever news article. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ 21  07:21, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Most newcomers lose their first article... or three. :) So please do not be discouraged.  There is a steep learning curve involved, but by the time you get to the third to fifth article, things become much easier.  You'll need to find a second source that assists in verifying facts not verified by the replaced source in the article. Huffington Post can be used, but the view that I generally run across here is we prefer other or that it cannot be used as the primary two news source to establish newsworthiness. (And a scan of articles published in the last 12 months that cite the Huffington Post appear to confirm this.) The currency issue is addressed in the Style guide.  Stolen Utahraptor recovered in Australian Capital Territory is a recent example of currency usage, though only specifying the currency clearly is all that is required. :)  If you need any more assistance before fixing the article, will be more than happy to help.  (If I do too much editorial fixing myself, then I cannot review the article and it will require another reviewer.) --LauraHale (talk) 07:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem. I will still try to learn more about how creating news :) Thanks for the help. I will try to fix the article this weekend. if I don't appear to fix it, you can go ahead and delete it, or move it to my userspace :) — ΛΧΣ 21 19:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Ditto. Congrats on getting your original reporting published. :) Good to see OR published pretty much concurrently on two language projects. ;)  Now aim for Portuguese. :D --LauraHale (talk) 23:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
