Talk:Czech train derails, at least one dead

Review of revision 1051964 [Passed] edit

Preliminary investigation edit

Tchoř of Wikinews kindly wrote a couple of extra paragraphs, and added some Czech language sources. Nobody copy-edited or flagged them in 15 hours, so I reverted them as I think they are too much too late for a published article, and belong instead in a future article. --InfantGorilla (talk) 11:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, the limit for a published article is 24 hours for new info, which Tchor's edits didn't surpass. I reverted, as I think the info is quite relevant here and we need more information to help fill the article out more. I left it unsighted for now, but will try to struggle through the sources with my limited knowledge of Czech to fact-check it later on. Tempodivalse [talk] 13:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Conceded. 7 hours left, but the info won't be stale for a new article. When you fact-check, could you add who conducted the preliminary investigation please? (police, railway operator, safety authority?) --InfantGorilla (talk) 13:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia link edit

For English readers edit

For those of us that like to read confirmation of the basics from a 2nd English source, AP/CP ran it on Tuesday [1]. It is very short. --InfantGorilla (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Canada's Windsor Star passed on a little distressing detail from an unnamed wire service: "firefighter Lukas Marvan said (that) It flipped onto its side and slammed into a concrete wall which ripped open the first carriage, he said, adding that it was not yet known what had caused the crash."
