Review of revision 1291418 [Passed]

Revision 1291418 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 23:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Don't copy source passages and then change them to make them "different". For one thing, you shouldn't be imitating their words, phrases, or sentence structures; best is when each of your sentences draws on multiple source passages, perhaps from multiple sources. For another, modifying source passages like that you can end up with redundant passages (even if each of them is individually a tolerably distant paraphrase). Myself, when I write synthesis I take notes in the form of collections of source passages related to various aspects of the story — but then my text isn't edited from those notes, it's written from scratch, using the notes to remind me of the available facts from which I can choose. Most paragraphs should not be single-sentence; it may happen occasionally, but should be the exception rather than the rule. Direct quotes are possible, you know — quotes from the newsmakers, not the news sources, of course, in double quotes and with attribution. The killer quote here would be the ACMA one about selective editing, which, once in the article, would make a great pull-quote using {{QuoteLeft}}. 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.
