Talk:Tom Wolf inaugurated as Pennsylvania Governor

Review of revision 3177848 [Passed]

Revision 3177848 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 04:36, 21 January 2015 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: When everything else was verified, the sole remaining detail was the identity of Corbett's running mate. Not mentioned in any of the sources afaics. I should have just cut the unverified detail out, but it would have made the sentence lopsided, so I figured, since it was only a peripheral point in the article, maybe I could just do a "quick" sanity check on that one thing. Alas; not at all easy to verify, starting with a Wikipedia article that didn't cite any source for the information. But having eventually found it, no point in deleting the detail after verifying. 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.

gubernatorial

This word again. Wikinews articles are supposed, nay, required to be understandable to an international audience. What. Is. A. Gubernate? BRS ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:02, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Do you have a suggestion for how to handle the adjectival form of governor? A wikilink could be provided to Wiktionary, but that would be not very self-contained of us. (The one time we've used the word Glaswegian, I see, we linked locally to Glasgow, at least staying on Wikinews.) --Pi zero (talk) 19:52, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

In this case the word likely drops out without losing meaning. I'd just avoid it altogether, in much the same way a European lawyer might be likely to avoid the noun 'lawsuit' (although in the latter example 'case' suits as an occasional alternative). So in this case "gubernatorial agenda" could, if you wished a governor-y word in there, become "agenda as governor". BRS ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:57, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
