Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: The percentage of quotes to article is abnormally high in this article. I notice Autistic Psycho (the main author of the article) caught that mistake in the DoD quote as well, where they referred to an aircraft as a "F-18 Super Hornet". It's actually an F/A-18 Super Hornet. :). Good eye! Always nice to be able to show up a source like that. I also changed the title to include the words "US President" for the sake of internationalization of the title. I'm sure most people know who Obama is, but it doesn't hurt to be a bit more specific. — Gopher65talk 15:20, 8 August 2014 (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.

My take

Yeah, I was mostly working for the direct statement from Obama for the article. But it's public domain, and mostly the Washington Post is paraphrasing the President anyways direct from his statement. I mean the article very much "tows the party line" but I highly doubt we're going to get a from response ISIS other than just as much propaganda from them. And yes, I caught that error, you would think that the Pentagon would know their fighter designations better. ;) --Patrick M (TUFKAAP) (talk) 15:52, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
