With deep regret, I have to say, this one seems to have gotten away from us. Unless there’s something you can do to freshen it, of course, but I’m not sure how that would happen, here. See my review comments, and detailed history of edits during review.

I’m really hoping you can get a whole lot of experience out of this article, because really, the most effective way to avoid long review processes on en.wn is to submit clean copy that passes its first review, and to do that, there’s no substitute for experience. –Pi zero (talk) 16:10, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I put deep thought into this review. Please see my review comments. –Pi zero (talk) 12:43, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi there!

Thanks for your article! Unfortunately, it’s not ready to be published. I’ve left some comments on the talk page, but I thought I’d also give you some tips:

I’ve marked this article not ready on the grounds of it being effectively {{single source}}, as both sources share an author. Thinking about this, it seems a great chance to grab some original reporting. The school has contact details here, both general and specicifcally for the principal. Westboro take media requests via an email listed here.

I’m not sure exactly how your Wikinews articles tie in with your course grades, but I suspect Crtew (talk · contribs) would be very pleased to see some OR done on your own initiative. BRS ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 20:37, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I’m on it. I’ve got a short statement from the principle confirming that the photograph tweeted by WBC is a student and was part of the performance. He also confirmed Westboro did not attend the school production at all. I’m also trying to get in touch with WBC by email. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kad388UOW (talk • contribs)

Thank you! I emailed WBC last night, I didn’t get a response but the tweets from last week appear to have been removed since last night – I have been trawling back and forth on their twitter feed looking for them – and they had tweeted that they would picket the school tomorrow. So I emailed again with further questions about why they would picket the school on a Saturday and if they were aware that according to the school’s calendar, the performance was a one-off as well as a question about the photograph they had tweeted on the 2nd, but although it looks like I have had an effect on them, I haven’t received any response to my questions.

I am a journalism student from the University of Wollongong, and I have recently published an article on wikinews about Westboro’s threats to picket your school’s performance of the Laramie Project. I am preparing a second article to report on their failure to appear and wanted to give you the opportunity to comment on the lack of follow through.

Also, could you please confirm for me that the attached image is a student performing and not a WBC member? The image was tweeted by the group with text to the effect of ‘westboro pickets Margaret River High School’.

I am also contacting WBC for comment and would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you,

Hi

I can confirm that this is an image from the play and not a protest by the WBC. The WBC did not attend the school at anytime during the Play production

Hi there. In case you didn’t know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikinews pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four w:tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the w:Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Microchip08 (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! I didn’t know that! Kad388UOW (talk) 01:47, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

An article you contributed to, Car stackers could solve Sydney’s parking problem, has not yet been published, but has not been edited for a significant period of time. Please consider taking another look at it, and trying to fix the problems the reviewer raised. You can then submit it for re-review, and hopefully it will be published. If the article is not edited after two days, it will be deleted (or moved out of the main article space, as appropriate). Thanks, Microchip08 (talk) 08:26, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
