I dont really understand the title on this otherwise good article. By the way, isnt it original reporting? international 11:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just thinking the same thing...Unfortunately, I do not know anything about this subject to change it. I also don't know how this is original. But I also don't know how its not. I am confused... Jason Safoutin 11:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was at the day and used the sourced article only for the crowd estimate, note the inclusion of information not in that article ,thus original. --Whywhywhy 12:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Lets wait for the authors comment and we will know.international 11:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the author may have confused "vidual" with "vigil" but even then the previous headline made absolutely no sense so I changed it. --Deprifry|+T+ 11:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
yer i got "vidual" mixed up with "vigil". Vigil is how they described the event and how it was advertised. --Whywhywhy 12:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've sent this back to develop as there still is work that needs to be done. I did some copyediting but there are probably still mistakes left and especially sentences like
Quote
A small group of about 15 police in the distance awaited the arrival of the group who said their main concern was the health and safety of everyone being next to a busy road although 2 office only approached when the CFA came out after being called out by a passer by to put out a open camp fire because of fire restriction in the area ending the next day. The fire fighters were met with laughter and sarcastic applause, An enclosed fire and BBQ were considered fine.

make little sense to me and thus I don't know how to fix them. --Deprifry|+T+ 11:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made a try to fix it. What about it ?

Original reporting[edit]

The original reporting notes for this article should appear on the talk page under a section titled "Original reporting notes", and should contain a statement from the person(s) who undertook original reporting. The statement should detail the nature of the original reporting (e.g. attended the protest from 9am to 11am, observed events, interviewed attendees, took notes, etc). You are the source for this article, and it should be as easy as possible for other members of the Wikinews community to verify assertions of fact contained in the article. - Borofkin 02:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cutting out details in Original reporting[edit]

fair enough to move information around but i would ask that after rewrites that people would check that they did remove information.--Whywhywhy 09:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
