Grammar checks... edit

I am not sure of Wikinews policy on dialects. I did change spelling though.

As the interview was via phone, would any of these corrections be inline with the taped version?

Unfortunately there is no taped version. I used my home phone for it (i'd lost my mobile, which is able to record conversations). I'm not sure if my home phone can record converstions.
i'm changing the grammar as needed now --RockerballAustralia (talk) 03:41, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
If this is how the questions were presented to the person being interviewed, then I don't think Grammar is too much of an issue. Changing the format of questions, after they have already been answered is IMO not too much of a good idea. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 11:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
The policy one just needed the minor fix to present it as it was given to the interviewee --RockerballAustralia (talk) 01:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
