Hey Pi Zero. Thank you for letting me know. When the sources originally went up, the quote, "labour is progressing as normal," was up there; but with all the updates on the birth they must have deleted that.

I've fixed that part up, along with the car part - ABC News article mentions she travelled by car.

The quotes from Cameron and Clegg appear to be gone as well. I replaced these quotes with a current quote from Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbot sending congratulations, and a pre birth quote from UK Prime Minister that he sent via Twitter. These can be found in the ABC news Source.

The last part, I fixed up too. - ABC says Obstetrician - but I see what you mean by it differs between sources. If you prefer to take the job titles out during review that's understandable.

Thank you. MusicrocksUOW (talk) 06:03, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, the msm sites have this bad habit of changing their articles after publication by removing stuff, which often causes problems for us because stuff that was there when a synthesis article was written has disappeared when it's reviewed. Wikinewsies generally don't approve; besides the nuisance value for us, it seems kind of disrespectful to the historical record —feels like erasing history— and... why exactly do they feel motivated to do this? Are they trying to conserve real-estate on the printed page or something? When we update a published article it's pretty much always additive; cf. this. --Pi zero (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
