Talk:U.S. General McChrystal submits plan on Afghanistan to President Obama

Downstyle

I'm leaning toward General vs. general in the title, but for sure President Obama, not president Obama. That's a formal title, if not a full one. Calebrw (talk) 22:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Review of revision 870426 [Passed]

Revision 870426 of this article has been reviewed by Dendodge (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 14:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC) I completely agree but I was told that I could not self publish even though it had been reviewed and suggestions made for refinement and I had made those suggestions. Apparently someone else has to approve it again after I make the changes. If you ask me, I think that defeats the purpose of news. This event occured on the 31st of August, it was published on the 3rd of September. My comment would be: "I heard this on CNN like twenty million times" a couple of days ago, what does it matter now that Wikinews is publishing it? I honestly thought about completely pulling the article because it had lost relevance. Too many more experiences like that and I would say what's the point in trying to get something published on Wikinews if it's consistently late? --JaylanHaley (talk) 02:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC).

It all seems to check out, and I don't see why it lingered for so long. It's almost at the point where it becomes stale. 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.

edit request

{{editprotected}} Could someone please add this category to the article? [[Category:Stanley A. McChrystal]] There are a lot of Wikinews articles about him and I'm going to be adding said category to his english wikipedia article so as to provide a common link for all wikinews related articles on him. Thank you, Dainomite (talk) 06:49, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

I'll add this to my list of categories to create. We have (I'm pretty sure) hundreds of categories that could be created and haven't yet. Depending on how many pages are involved, I may get to it fairly soon; atm I'm about halfway through setting up a category for Denver, Colorado (which involves manually one-by-one through about a hundred articles matching the keyword "Denver", to determine which ones belong in the category). Thanks for the heads-up! --Pi zero (talk) 11:39, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Looks like it won't be too difficult; there are only 16 matches to the keyword, which will be one of those categories that can be set up in a single session; probably less than a one-hour job. --Pi zero (talk) 11:44, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
