Clarifying..[edit]

@Acagastya The line, "I am deeply anguished by the helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu in which we have lost Gen. Bipin Rawat, his wife and other personnel of the Armed Forces." has been taken from a tweet.

@2006nishan178713 if it is not in the sources listed (which I could not find), this needs to be sighted there. Or remove the quote. •–• 17:46, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Changed to a quote by the defence minister.

There is so much backlog in the review submissions every time. This really make news go stale and Wikinews not up to date. Many of the reviewers are busy. In the recent last days only @LivelyRatification had reviewed some articles. This is not a criticism as personal life can always gets in the way but it's a bit inefficient. 2006nishan178713 (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done..........[edit]

Not sure what the heck happened when author was inserting source months, but that is corrected now. Yes, with our stash (or lack) of active reviewers (including myself) getting breaking stories like this up quickly is difficult.....but it's up now. Good effort!--Bddpaux (talk) 16:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
