Is the 2023 court judgment not considered a seperate source? QuantumControl (talk) 03:12, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Independent as in independent from the source, i.e. published by, say, CBC or CTV or Global News or another news source. The judgement itself, by being the literal text which is the article's focus, does not count any more than an article about a company in legal trouble could consider either the company's press release or the court's charges as independent.

Would commentary on the decision by a legal news service (say this article (requires free registration)) be considered a suitable independent source? QuantumControl (talk) 03:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
It would, but for me it asks either to subscribe or sign up for a fourteen-day free trial. JJLiu112 (talk) 04:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
It says you have to subscribe but I signed up and it gave me access for free. I can give you my account details if you want. QuantumControl (talk) 04:04, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Try signing up and see if it works for you. It's pretty misleading in its wording. QuantumControl (talk) 04:05, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK. Lemme do that. JJLiu112 (talk) 04:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK. Please resubmit for review. However, this is a 14-day free trial. It's quite literally skirting the line between paywall and free. Other reviewers might be less lax. JJLiu112 (talk) 04:11, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@JJLiu112: Was this stale when published? I do not think when a source (in this example Law360) makes a correction six days after initial publication improves freshness for Wikinews. Cheers, --SVTCobra 06:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I didn't realise that until I had finished reviewing. In this specific case I appeal to "how widely the event has been covered by the mainstream", and we've historically been liberal for what constitutes original reporting. --JJLiu112 (talk) 01:42, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
