Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: One quote about the earthquake used from The Guardian could not be verified. Could not verify that the Afghani president appreciated the security forces. Oh by the way, NYT quotes someone saying it was a four metre deep crater. AP quotes another person who says it was five. Since it is a quote, I think that is okay. One last thing – WN:Attribute!

I saw you removed a few things that you could not find in the sources. That happens sometimes, the Guardian or another source will change after I look at it (or give the URL to its latest article and change the URL for the one I read), but it's no big deal if a line or two is removed. However, this part gave me pause: "General John W. Nicholson Jr., commander of American and North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces in Afghanistan congratulated city security forces for preventing the truck from coming any closer to important government buildings and embassies." In the source I used, it was the Afghan president.

I checked, and the New York Times article at that URL is definitely different from the article I read. Yesterday morning, President Trump had not yet called to offer condolences. I think what happened is that the New York Times corrected the article after I used it as a source. I'm not sure how we should deal with this problem. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:51, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
