Creating cats
I see you've created a Category:Seattle Sounders FC. We'll want to populate that with all the articles in our archives that relate to it. Do you know of archived articles that would belong? (It takes an admin to add an archived article to a cat, since they're fully protected. Historically we've wanted three published articles on a topic before we create a category for it.)  --Pi zero (talk) 17:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Pi zero, I've run out of time today but I'll be looking through tomorrow. Additionally, I plan to start adding new articles as they come out. (There are 2 games today which would qualify and thus result in articles). Lastly, we are using this Category for automatic news on our Portal here: w:Portal:Seattle_Sounders_FC Stevetauber (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Stevetauber. Since you mean to submit articles (welcome!): we've got a notoriously steep &mdash; but thankfully short &mdash; initial learning curve, so you'll want to do a little reading and then submit an article and learn from that.  I recommend getting an overview of the project by reading WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing, and then the Howdy template at the top of this page has a quick step-by-step on writing your first article, plus plenty of other useful information.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the links. I'll check them out! Also, if players for Seattle Sounders FC were on international duty and there was a news report about that, would the category apply? Even tangentially? Stevetauber (talk) 18:25, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

US soccer: Sounders 2 maintain win streak with 2-1 victory over Timbers 2
Congrats! You're a published journalist. Nicely done first article. At this point I give you links to the review comments and the article's history of edits during review, only it seems that horse has already left the barn. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 16:00, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

US Soccer: Seattle Sounders fall to LA Galaxy 1-0
That's two. :-) Review comments;  (small edits for pinpoint explanations and useful diffs).  --Pi zero (talk) 15:37, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Review queue
swamped today. I'm not sure I can save your article (yes, all veteran Wikinewsies have at some time or other lost an article to not getting reviewed in time, fwiw); it seems to have been submitted on the late side and then there's been the sluggish review... well. We'll see. :-S  --Pi zero (talk) 22:46, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Published US Soccer: S2 lose two on the road. Please submit sooner; I'm ambivalent about having passed it on freshness, and I'm pretty sure some reviewers wouldn't have.  But that's for the future; today, this one got published.  Review comments.  --Pi zero (talk) 23:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
