Sources[edit]

Both the NowPublic and BNO sources seem be writing from twitter feeds. Can we consider that as reliable sources? --SVTCobra 13:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not, but I am trying to hunt down other sources, and there are not a lot at all. I have been trying, but I think this is about all I can come up with. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 13:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the feed of BNO that reported it a few times. Without putting all the direct feed sources in: There are about 4 reports: http://twitter.com/BreakingNewsOn?page=2 DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 13:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And that, along with listed sources, is all I can find on the incident. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 13:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also note, the sources claiming that the report is false, cites nothing to say it is false: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/02/emergency_landi.php This source does not say who said it was false or even mentions how they got that supposed information.

Review 1[edit]

Revision 762693 of this article has been reviewed by Gopher65 (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 15:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

  • Copyright: Passed
  • Newsworthiness: Passed
  • Verifiability: Not ready: "Conflicting reports" hardly covers it unfortunately. New information suggests that there was no suicide attempt, and that this was all a case of someone misreporting what went on.
  • NPOV: Passed
  • Style: Passed

Comments by reviewer: Not sure how to fix this article, so I'm just going to fail it, pending further sources, and a near-complete rewrite, if that's even possible. Gopher65talk 15:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to provide a source that says it for sure? As of the moment there is nothing to say it was or wasn't. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review 2[edit]

Revision 762797 of this article has been reviewed by Gopher65 (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 21:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Comments by reviewer: Alright, going to publish then. If the information is later refuted by the additional sources, we can publish another article. Gopher65talk 21:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Bogus?[edit]

The is increasingly seeming bogus. I am unable to find any mention anywhere, besides what is listed in sources, and I have already stated my opinion that the twitty based sources should not be considered reliable. --SVTCobra 01:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
