On the campaign trail, December 2011

I enjoyed this.

There were several details in one bit that I failed to adequately corroborate, which I noted in the review comments. --Pi zero (talk) 09:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. See between 10:23 and 11:00 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QspuRWVRx4&feature=related for Terry's statement that he plans to write himself in, followed by Supreme's statement that he would as well.--William S. Saturn (talk) 17:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Rocky Anderson

Hi! I figured you'd want to know I've nommed your (fantastic) interview with Rocky Anderson at WN:FAC. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 01:08, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for that.--William S. Saturn (talk) 04:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Herman Cain endorses Newt Gingrich for US president

Just thought I'd point out this article, as possibly relevant On the campaign trail. --Pi zero (talk)

Thank you for the heads up.--William S. Saturn (talk) 06:15, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

On the campaign trail, January 2012

I've failed to find some things, noted on the talk page (what I've failed to find so far, anyway). Wondering if some emails to scoop could have been lost (e.g., during the move of wikinewsie.org from godaddy to its new home — in the Netherlands, I think). --Pi zero (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Two additional questions. --Pi zero (talk) 22:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

My apologies on this. Next time I'll make sure I list all the sources before asking for a review.--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

A thought. Last month as I recall, you had lists of sources per section on the talk page. That was extremely helpful; the links didn't necessarily matter, since I always load all the sources into browser tabs early in a review and keep them all till the end, but identifying which sources to look in for each section made review much easier. I think I meant to say so in my review comments, but then by the end of the review it slipped my mind. (Another technique Brian McNeil has sometimes used with long articles is to put html comments after each passage naming the source that verifies it.) --Pi zero (talk) 22:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes. I will do that again next time.--William S. Saturn (talk) 23:03, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

The Raleigh Telegram

You might recognise some of this article.

If not, refresh your memory with these two articles:

• Mitt Romney wins 2012 Nevada caucuses
• Mitt Romney wins 2012 Florida primary

Yes, your contributions have ended up in print in The Raleigh Telegram.

I'm sending them a polite email thanking them for picking up our content, and asking they link to the source online; plus, we're Wikinews (not WikiNews). --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:41, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the notification.--William S. Saturn (talk) 19:30, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

For 'On the campaign trail'

I, Rayboy8, award this barnstar to William S. Saturn for his tireless and excellent work with the On the campaign trail series of articles for Wikinews.

Thank you. I appreciate it.--William S. Saturn (talk) 20:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Feedback

Hi William, I've been reading your work and following the election with a new perspective thanks to you. I was wondering if I could get your feedback on the Rand Paul story that's up in development right now. Any thoughts on improvement. Thanks, Crtew (talk) 22:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it later today.--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

News briefs: April 7, 2012

William, Can I do a short interview with you tomorrow (Saturday morn)? Look at the script for this week's News briefs. Do you like the summary? If you could, would you give me this update, or a revised one, in your own words? It would be a great break from the monotony of me, hahaha. Crtew (talk) 06:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Inmate for President article

I wanted to ready this article, but I couldn't find any concrete content in the article that you'd taken from the January 28th source. If I missed it, please point it out to me. If N/A, please move that source to external links (or something of that ilk). Bddpaux (talk) 14:21, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

The article showed the vote count for the 2008 Idaho Democratic primary. If that was the only issue, there was no need to fail the review.--William S. Saturn (talk) 18:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Was there another source that verified the vote total?--William S. Saturn (talk) 18:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikinews interviews John Wolfe, Democratic Party presidential challenger to Barack Obama

Having copyedited the interview itself (I'm about to tackle the intro), I left a query on the talk page about three passages, and interpolated about three apparently missing words into the text which you might take a look at; in all half dozen cases, the underlying theme is uncertainty over whether anomalies were in what was said or in its transcription. --Pi zero (talk) 12:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Will they listen? Probably not. But, it's always good to go over there every now and then and throw their toys out the pram. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
