Request for collaborative editing
I'm asking anyone who is willing to collaborate in the article Arrests, resignations as probe into Britain's phone hacking scandal widens which is now awaiting review. It is a fast breaking story and any help with the writing, the information, and the organization would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Mattisse (talk) 18:54, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Reopening of National Museum of Scotland
I will be covering the reopening of the National Museum of Scotland this Friday (29th). I am actively seeking opportunities to obtain original content for this, as well as quality background information.
Listed below are the sources I've found for this and currently have in my off-Wikinews draft. I would greatly appreciate if people could familiarise themselves with the content of these, with a view to a speedy review when I submit for publication. If you are interested in this, and not an accredited reporter, please provide me with an email address to copy you in on any OR correspondence.

- Laura Cummings. "It's a party for all the ages" — The Scotsman, July 18, 2011

As I say, all help gratefully accepted. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:59, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- UPDATE: I have been invited to the press preview of the museum opening tomorrow morning. I will be putting pictures and original reporting on Wikinewsie as it is under embargo until Friday. I would appreciate if accredited reporters can make time to verify that content to minimise review lead-time on Friday afternoon. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
