Talk:Kenyan court fines four men for queen ant trafficking

Notes

Okay, this is a very niche story, but I still think it is sufficiently newsworthy. I'm working on this article since yesterday (I'm a bit slow!):

• The AFP article (republished by France 24) states that the teenagers are 18-years-old, but most other sources (including those not used in this article) state they are 19. I believe that it was error on AFP's part and I used the dominant age;
• Several sources note the emerging trend of trafficking smaller species, but they do not expand upon that trend.

Hi Dsuke1998AEOS

Hi @Dsuke1998AEOS

Thanks for sharing the story. Please see notes above.

Would you like to continue being in the {{pingrr}} revision requests working group?

Regards, -- Gryllida (talk) 10:30, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

@Gryllida: Yes, I intend to perform one or two revision requests today. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 12:11, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

thanks a lot! could you please check review feedback above. it contains one question about confusing sentence. Gryllida (talk) 12:13, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Is this new wording better, Gryllida? The AFP article suggests that the one-year prison sentence is more of a consequence than an option. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 14:04, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

They "could" face a prison sentence of one year, then. As this would need to be written by a next Judge at a next court hearing. Just a thought. I approved the edit for now as it is a reasonable clarification and it improves the text. Gryllida (talk) 21:23, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
