Review of revision 1057135 [Passed] [edit]


Title [edit]

Raoul Moat is, literally, just over there as far as I'm concerned (I know folk from Rothbury). I rather doubt some of our other contributers know the name. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 19:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, Tempo. That's much better. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 20:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Not detained yet [edit]

  • Police have officially refuted earlier agency reports that there has been an arrest or a detention. As of now, he is apparently contained, with negotiations ongoing. PerryWhite (talk) 19:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Cable [edit]

I haven't seen anything related to a cable on either BBC News or Sky News. I've removed it [as BBC Newcastle isn't as notable/reputable as Sky]. — μ 21:31, July 9 2010 (UTC)

Yes. BBC and Sky published police statement [1] that Moat killed himself at about 1.15 this evening. Lets take the breaking news banner off this article, and copy and paste the background into a new one. --InfantGorilla (talk) 06:57, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
