1) The headline is a bit yucky, and

2) I am not competent in this field so maybe you can check whether I wrote something inaccurate...

 * How about Distributed malware attack takes down several web sites in the United States? Still somewhat cumbersome but maybe a little more straight-forward. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:22, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Dakota Access Pipeline -- what are acceptable sources for investigative journalism?
I am flying to North Dakota in December and will be visiting the protest camps. Right now I am receiving lots of word through social media that they are using water cannons on the protesters in freezing weather. Considering that there's a big media blackout on the protests, I feel inclined to start editing Wikinews to fill this vacuum. However, I am surprised we seem to have zero articles on the NoDAPL protests. Can someone assist me with how to cover the DAPL protests, of which there seems to be an abundance of primary sources but a scarcity of secondary sources?

 * Have you got any interviews set up with anyone yet? Will it just be you or can you have a second person who will hold a camera or microphone? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * There is (to say this explicitly) some relevant discussion at WN:OR. --Pi zero (talk) 00:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
