A bit about my process:

I often get an idea for a Wikinews article by reading a mainstream news article from the New York Times, to which I have a subscription, or listening to one on the radio. The NYT is paywalled, and of course I can't post a link to a radio story. So if it looks like I'm looking for sources that fit ideas that I already have, that's because that's exactly what I'm doing. It's only that the ideas are coming from NYT or NPR and not from my own assumptions. So if you see the fact in the draft before you see the source that will come to support it, that's what's going on. Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Darkfrog24, this article is very well-written. But the ft source is paywalled, at least for me. Kindly replace it. :) 2006nishan178713t@lk 10:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
It is hidden for now 2006nishan178713t@lk 10:14, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
It looks like it's paywalled when I click on the link directly and not paywalled if I Google "DNA detectives use elephant tusk analysis to track ivory smugglers" and then click in from the results. Fortunately, the study itself and the other sources >2. I only added the Financial Times for good measure. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:06, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please replace the author of the Local 8 news with CNN. Publisher as 8 is enough. --JJLiu112 (talk) 07:25, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
