Talk:Former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter dies at 96

Review?

@Heavy Water Any chance for one? Thanks. Big news across the world. MissedJetliner (talk) 02:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, this is on my radar. But please, there isn't any need to ping me to do a review with every article (as with the bridge protests), since anyone can see them all in the queue. Heavy Water (talk) 04:14, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Heavy Water this article is relevant, it is about a recent death, it is journalistic and notable, please can you publish it.Ucriblt89 (talk) 16:47, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about the constant pinging. MissedJetliner (talk) 17:06, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Heavy Water Can you publish it? It's an article about a well known person in the U.S., relevant for Wikinews and has received significant coverage in the world including Greece. NikosLikomitros (talk) 17:37, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm reviewing it (as the template on the article says). I can't guarantee right now it will pass review and be published, although that is likely. Heavy Water (talk) 17:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Regarding the use of split paragraph quoting

@Heavy Water, just to clarify a bit on this diff: this is entirely valid journalese - for example see the comment by Labour leader Keir Starmer in this BBC article or the statement from June Steenkamp in this CNN article. There was a slight formatting mistake in a spurious quotation mark, but this is a pretty standard quote formation. Hope this is a useful explainer!

A slight issue with "he continued" here is it implies a direct connection between the two sentences, whereas in actuality there's a sentence between them in his statement. The physical separation can help readers understand there's potentially part of the statement cut for brevity. Ash Thawley (talk) (calendar) 19:39, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Certainly a valid construct, but I've been told not to use it if the two quoted portions weren't said exactly in that order, with nothing in between. I don't see this implication with "continued", but I've no strong feelings; I can change it to "said". Heavy Water (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Review of revision 4756410 [Passed]

Revision 4756410 of this article has been reviewed by Heavy Water (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 12:10, 26 November 2023 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: I suspect the de.wn article was written with insufficient distance from source and that the reporter here didn't catch that during translation (for the record, of course, translating something doesn't affect its copyright). There were significant issues with distance from source — I might have not-ready'd the article if I had realized the extent of the issues earlier in the review process (or if the whole process had begun earlier in the freshness window so we had more time). The introduction of Jimmy Carter and his relationship to her was awkward in my opinion — he wasn't mentioned in the lede, and only referred to by constructs like "the former president" rather than his name until late in the article. So I added a short phrase to the lede; this might also help clarify who a first lady is. Reviewers are warned against adding content lest they become too involved, but I think in this case the principle applies that if there's only one way to do something, there's no moral difference between the reviewer doing it or anyone else doing it. The Guardian credits "her family" for the beginning-of-palliative-care announcement, but in doing so they link to an article of theirs where they said it was a Carter Center statement on behalf of Jason Carter. So I feel comfortable not treating that as an actual discrepancy between it and other sources. This might benefit from the addition of material on her time as First Lady; there's a strange gap left this way. Please see the edit history.

What does this mean?

She had a May diagnosis of dementia. What does May diagnosis of dementia refer to? Thank you. SkruhKidd (talk) 17:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Um...what does this mean? Is it the word order that you perceive as unclear? It's synonymous with, "She was diagnosed with dementia in May." Heavy Water (talk) 17:24, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay thank you. 64.39.81.54 (talk) 17:40, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
