Revision 1145072 of this article has been reviewed by Rayboy8 (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 22:31, 14 December 2010 (UTC). Copyright: Not ready: "told an FBI complainant on Facebook how to build a pipe bomb" is very close to what the CNN source reads; only one word has been changed here. Newsworthiness: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Not ready: I'm not too sure about the use of the word "devastating" in this article. I think you should replace it with a quote from the sources instead. Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: You are allowed to copy quotes from the sources, such as: "and what type of shrapnel would cause the greatest amount of damage" instead of attempting to put the entire article in your own words. You will also have to re-word the article to avoid copyright infringement with CNN and Fox News. Questions about the above? Ask. If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}). This talk page will be updated with subsequent reviews.

How is this a news article at all?

What am I missing? It appears that this is an article being published on the 14th about something that happened on the 6th. Seriously? --Pi zero (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Just been reported on by all major news agencies, FBI probably didn't let word out until they were finished with what they had to do. In this case I think it's ok. Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 00:17, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I take your point. Ideally, though, there would be a clear indication in the lede of what it is that has happened just recently. --Pi zero (talk) 00:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try to pop in some current details such as the trial date now. Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 00:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
