Talk:Wikinews interviews Australian Glider Amanda Carter

Journalist notes

This interview was done Monday afternoon in Melbourne by Hawkeye7. If the notes need to be more extensive, ping him on his talk page. :P Not me. The interview came about because I reached out and we got it to happen as a result. --LauraHale (talk) 11:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Review of revision 1639737 [Not ready]

Revision 1639737 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 01:07, 28 September 2012 (UTC) Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:13, 28 September 2012 (UTC). Copyright: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Newsworthiness: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Verifiability: Not ready: See below. NPOV: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Style: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Comments by reviewer: The lede sentence says she's the longest serving member of Australia's national wheelchair rugby team. First, shouldn't that be wheelchair basketball team? And second, I see no sourcing whatsoever for the claim she's the longest serving member. Yes. Corrected. I did not write that bit. The statement is supported by the interview: WN: There was nobody else on the team who had been in Sydney, much less Barcelona or Atlanta. Amanda Carter: I know. Amanda and I then whistled up the names of all the Australian Paralympians who were in Barcelona: Greg Smith, Libby Kosmala, Liesl Tesch and Amanda Carter. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:13, 28 September 2012 (UTC) Ah. Duh. I even looked for that 'cause I've seen it plenty of times before in interviews — where the interview itself confirms an otherwise unaccountable detail in the intro — and I still missed it. Thanks! --Pi zero (talk) 12:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC) I've been eliminating all the peripheral tasks that naturally precede checking the transcription against the audio; the longest of these was wikilinking the article (which took roughly an hour). In theory I could do the audio check while waiting for the problems with the lede to be fixed, but there are many other articles on the review queue competing for attention. Questions about the above? Ask. If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}). This talk page will be updated with subsequent reviews.

A worry

Er, "sat down" with a wheelchair basketball player? That seems a little insensitive (as does bringing it up, I must admit), but I'm not sure what to replace it with. "Chatted with," perhaps? 64.195.2.114 (talk) 00:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

No need to make it difficult. "talked with" works; I've submitted that edit for review. --Pi zero (talk) 00:40, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
