Talk:13 year old Seattle, Washington boy physically assaults, steals purse from woman outside of pharmacy

Question

@Bddpaux is this still fresh because it says it happened earlier this month? Maybe I wrote this unfortunately late... Thanks. BigKrow (talk) 18:46, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@BigKrow Unfortunately, I don't think so. But, in the greater Seattle, WA area.....there has to be some fresh news....?--Bddpaux (talk) 19:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bddpaux should I start a new story or continue this one???? BigKrow (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Review

I know it is not ready yet but I need advice before it does hopefully become published, thank you. BigKrow (talk) 16:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Michael.C.Wright should this article get thrown away due to staleness? Bddpaux talked to me about it, 2 cents worth from you Michael if you have time? Thanks. BigKrow (talk) 17:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

If the story interests you and drives you to work on it more, then I would say do it. Dig up some general info or background info on the topic to add to the article. For example; you could see if there are statistics available on violent crimes and petty theft in Seattle. Is there a bigger story that this leads to, such as some trend in youth petty crime driven by social media postings? Is there maybe an article that discusses recent policy changes that could be contributing to petty theft or violent crime in Seattle? Things like that might help you expand it a bit beyond boy steals purse.

But if the story doesn't really interest you to write it, you won't likely find a reader interested in reading it. In that case, mark it abandoned and start one you're interested in researching a bit more. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 21:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Review of revision 4778504 [Not ready]

Revision 4778504 of this article has been reviewed by Heavy Water (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 15:53, 30 April 2024 (UTC). Copyright: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Newsworthiness: Not ready: Verifiability: Not ready: NPOV: Not ready: Style: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Comments by reviewer: The sources aren't mutually independent, as WN:CS requires, since one's written by Fox and another by a local Fox affiliate and I've noticed some similarities between the contents of each. This focal event (the alleged robbery) is no longer fresh, having occurred on April 6. The new information from Wednesday mentioned on the talk page can't salvage it under WN:NEWINFO because the focal event is over ten days old. The article could be refocused to the King County auditors' meeting on Wednesday (although that itself is near the seven-day outer bound of the freshness window), which would probably also be more relevant, another key aspect of newsworthiness. Honestly, one could question the relevance of the alleged robbery; this is a routine sort of crime in a big city (although the fact this allegedly occurred in a big city probably works in its favor for relevance, because it affects more people). I can't find anything in the sources indicating the boy has pleaded guilty or been convicted, so, for example, the headline should be more like "13 year old Seattle, Washington boy allegedly physically assaults, steals purse from woman outside of pharmacy". 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.
