May I ask how? --JJLiu112 (talk) 03:28, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
@JJLiu112: there must be a method to 'forward the email' in your email client. Look for 'forward individual email' on the Internet. Ping me (acagastya) if you are still facing difficulties.

Regarding phone calls edit

This interview was conducted by phone. Do I write their entire transcript here? --JJLiu112 (talk) 19:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

My apologies for the spam, but I'm concerned (1) on the talk page, I'd be readily ignored (2) on the IRC, I would mess something up and (3) if I don't include it but needed it, I'd be marked down for review and if I do but didn't, I'd have wasted a good five hours of my life. --JJLiu112 (talk) 02:22, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Have you recorded the calls, @JJLiu112:? If yes, you would have to share it with scoop.
•–• 02:56, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Share the recordings, as in the audio files, or the transcript, that is the written-out version of every word spoken? If the former, done in ten seconds. If the latter, takes ten hours. --JJLiu112 (talk) 04:04, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Also yes, I have recorded them and they're on my computer now. --JJLiu112 (talk) 04:11, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
What is the file size, @JJLiu112:? And yes, I am talking about the audio files.
•–• 04:17, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

I made two calls, one lasting three times as long as the other. The longer of the two has been split into three separate files.

Mizher: 20003 kb

Eddings I: 14631 kb

Eddings II: 13110 kb

Eddings III: 14540 kb

Dont email them or sent it to scoop. Let me make arrangements so you can share it with me, and I will put it on files. sharing it with scoop.

Uploaded to the Commons and on the page, I've already made it upfront and clear it would be recorded so I think I'm fine on that front.   --JJLiu112 (talk) 04:17, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright, let me know when such arrangements may proceed. --JJLiu112 (talk) 03:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well, the recording is marked under CC BY-SA 4.0, so we can't proceed with that, JJLiu. When you tell someone you are interviewing them for Wikinews, and they continue to answer, that is their agreement you can decide the license of the content. But to publish it on-wiki, we need it to be under CC BY-2.5, or CC0. (It can have dual licenses too.)

Rectified. --JJLiu112 (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Courtesy ping@Acagastya:, but with all due respect I really would like to start work on this soon. Early voting begins 19 April 2021. Assuming you see (and hopefully approve) this 3 April, I finish writing 4 April, and we have two days of revising and editing it'll be done 6 April, a 8 days after the interview took place. --JJLiu112 (talk) 04:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Review thoughts edit

  1. Attn, @JJLiu112:. This article needs media -- please consider adding relevant images. Such as portrait of Ron Wright, and Mizher -- if no free images are available, you can upload under fair use.

  2. Prolly this goes for related news: US Vice President Pence speaks to Israeli Knesset: US embassy to move to Jerusalem

  3. Kudos for handwritten notes! Keep it up!
    •–• 17:26, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Regarding #1, sure. Regarding #2, sure. Regarding #3, what? --JJLiu112 (talk) 18:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
@JJLiu112: I heard you flipping pages to refer to a quote from the interviewee's site -- so kudos for handwritten notes!
•–• 18:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh, well thanks :) --JJLiu112 (talk) 18:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Attn, @JJLiu112:. I can't find in the sources Susan is leading 21%, or any other statistic for that matter. Nor do I find the info how they voted for Trump, or if it is lean republic. In any case, it needs to be attributed. Right now, I have verified everything else. But without that, I can't publish. Please advice how to verify those facts.
•–• 11:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'm puzzled how? See https://www.insideelections.com/news/article/new-poll-in-texas-special-election-tx-06, which mentions the poll in paragraph two, the margin of error in the last paragraph and Trump's victory in the middle. See https://www.insideelections.com/ratings/house for lean Republican. Both are cited, I'm not sure where the problem is. --JJLiu112 (talk) 13:37, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Courtesy ping@Acagastya:
@JJLiu112: who conducted the poll? Attribute. And are we saying in our words it is right leaning? If not, what does it mean? What kind of metric is being used?
•–• 15:39, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
"Who conducted the poll?" "The March 9-12 survey by Victoria Research". "Are we saying in our own words it is right leaning?" No, we're saying it's "lean Republican", which Inside Elections calls it. I don't understand what's wrong? I must refer you again to the two links above, which clarify every question you asked. --JJLiu112 (talk) 15:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
@JJLiu112: these questions need to be answered in the article. Attribution and details about the poll/nomenclature must be added by the author in the article. I can't do that as an independent reviewer. So to answer "what's wrong?" -- please add these details in the article for me to resume reviewing. If I add it, someone else would have to review the article, then.

Done. --JJLiu112 (talk) 16:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Could we add Wikinews interviews Democratic candidate for the Texas 6th congressional district special election Daryl Eddings, Sr's campaign manager to related news? --JJLiu112 (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

News articles are snapshot in time and related articles section is for articles which were already published, not newer. We have used {{update}} in the past, for article like Pakistan's National Assembly passes bill to merge Federally Administered Tribal Areas with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the FATA merger. But Eddings' article is not an update to this, it is simply a very different thing on its own.

In the caption for the image of the Declaration, it is misspelled as the "Declaration of Independance". Heavy Water (talk) 23:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
