Review of revision 4956976 [Passed]

Revision 4956976 of this article has been reviewed by Michael.C.Wright (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 15:04, December 13, 2025 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: As part of the review process I made extensive editorial improvements to accuracy, neutrality, structure, attribution, and style, including restructuring for the inverted-pyramid format, tightening transitions, correcting quotes and punctuation, and removing unsupported or redundant material. These edits approach the limits of independent reviewing, but with so few reviewers available I applied WN:IAR where necessary to improve the article. I welcome other contributor's views on whether this level of involvement is appropriate. Recommendations for the original author: As your second published article on Wikinews, you’re doing very well! The effort you’ve put into sourcing and structure is clear. Going forward, focus first on ensuring every statement in the article is directly supported by your sources, and avoid adding interpretation, assumptions, or background that the sources don’t explicitly provide. Keep attribution clear and structure the article around one focal event using the inverted-pyramid style. Before submitting for review, double-check that all claims are verifiable, neutral, and necessary to understanding the news event. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
