Talk:Sumo: Asashoryu wins New Year Grand Tournament
Add topicI was in tokyo for the final two days of the tournament. Some comments / notes i made during this time as part of the original reporting to help complete the news article.
- final day was a sellout when i visited the stadium at 6.30am to purchase tickets the crowd was already 500+ in size with only 300-400 general admission tickets being available. Many disappointed people turned away as the ticket booth opened.
- watched the final day championship bouts on television (as i couldnt get tickets).
- Press crews outside Ryogoku interviewing crowds....when i asked them why they were there so early they said the interest in this tournament was extremely high.
- Having been in Japan during previous tournaments the coverage in newspapers, TV was much stronger than previously.
Next time i hope a wikinews accreditation may help get access :) Bjornengelhardt (talk) 23:24, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments by reviewer: Nice article. I would have liked to see a bit more OR instead a majority of it relying on source material. Despite the OR, I did have to remove some of what I thought to be a bit POV. If there is objection, please discuss on talk page. --DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC) 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. |

Is there anything left of the original reporting? If not, the tag should be removed. --SVTCobra 01:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- I glanced at the diffs. The only thin
kI see DF removed was: - For Hakuho it was a disappointing end to a three-basho winning run.
- In its context I don't see that it transgresses our neutrality policy. (But then I like to see words like thrilling, nail-biting, tedious, aggressive ... in sports reports, even at Wikinews.)

- Well as stated above, some of it was just a tad too POV to be OR. But feel free to revert. me. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 11:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- We have both given our opinions. No-one else cares (why should they care? it is one unexciting sentence.) So I will let the article stand. --InfantGorilla (talk) 21:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
