Comments by reviewer: Another well-written article from User:William S. Saturn. I do find the title a bit cumbersome, but couldn't come up with a shorter way to convey the information. 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. |

Information (in the parenthesis)
editAre are supposed to avoid it. I have no clue what "(VT)" means, or why it should be there. I figured out it was name of a state after I say "(MA)", but not everyone would know what is NY, MA or VT. Best to use full name -- Wikinews is for global audience.

- Not that these are huge weighty issues, obviously, but, yeah. Abbreviations are to be avoided unless explained at the first instance, that one's in the style guide. And we had a brief discussion at the water cooler some years back about the parenthetical-state thing, which is ubiquitous in US poltical msm, with the sense that if standalone information is important enough to mention in a news article, it's important enough to mention without parentheses. (We use parentheses for converting between units of measure, and converting to UTC, which I hoped to cover with qualification "standalone".) --Pi zero (talk) 15:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
