Journalist notes

Wikinews interviews Trischa Zorn

This is an interview. I tried three paragraphs but I really, really can't transcribe it... I'd tried to summarize the general bits the best I could. My hope is that people will LISTEN to it more so than want to read a summary of it. The interview was just fantastic.

The induction thing is mentioned in the interview and was at the same ceremony as the one in Frank Ponta inducted into the Paralympic Hall of Fame that Hawkeye7 wrote about. --LauraHale (talk) 21:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

• As I have remarked previously, I know how difficult a full transcription is. However, substantial pull-quotes would be better, and better-serve NPOV, than paraphrasing what the interviewee said.

As is vital for doing any sort of "talk" ('cos it ain't an interview if you've zero quotes) have you ran the text past the subject before submitting it? If you mis-quote, or misrepresent what they have said that has the potential to be extremely damaging. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 11:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Can you or some one else give it a go at trying to do that? Just full out on time. Need to write rowing gold, going to basketball, etc. Just full out and not being able to get sleep. :( --LauraHale (talk) 12:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Newsworthiness: Not ready: Minimal content which can be deemed to be news Verifiability: Not ready: This contains no quotes which can readily be verified NPOV: Not ready: This cannot be deemed NPOV since it is "what the author thinks" as-opposed to an actual interview Style: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Comments by reviewer: An interview, at a minimum, contains a substantial number of quotes from the interviewee. Whilst a full verbatim transcript is a substantial amount of work, it is required that some words — exactly as-said by the subject — are included to have any right to claim it is an interview. That this barely meets the minimum for publication is not grounds to pass it as "written at the Paralympics". Inclusion of audio may enhance an article which has more meat to it, this requires extensive rework to meet the standards usually written-to on Wikinews. Questions about the above? Ask. If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}).

Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Have gone through the audio, made pretty minor edits on that basis - mainly due to a few phrases being dropped, but otherwise the transcript matches somewhere between 95-98%. Worth the effort to have something 'meaty' to read. 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.
