Comments from feedback form - "The fact that the first news o..."

The fact that the first news outlet to report on this (Examiner.com) is not even mentioned suggests that the original Wikinews reporter (Cirt) may have been guilty of not giving credit where it's due.

It is possible that Cirt read your article, but did not find any new facts that needed sourcing. That is what the sourcing section is for, not for giving credit to all the places you may also have read the news.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt and bent the comments page rules to link your article from here, hoping that it was a service to readers.

For the avoidance of doubt, this IP is also The Kohser's. Whilst it's cool to get a scoop, expecting people to actively seek out the first reporter is obviously unreasonable; it is up to Examiner.com to boast of their scoop. Generally, they will only be mentioned where they are part of the story themselves.

@Gorilla: When did we disallow external links within the comments namespace?
