Sorry, Pi, you were too slow. --SVTCobra 00:14, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Considering what's going on here irl, not surprising. Thanks. --Pi zero (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Information (in the parenthesis)

Are 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)
