• Judge's comment: I've reviewed but vote NOT to approve, since none of the sources supported the central concept of the article. See comments on the article's talk page. StuRat 23:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• What?! I don't understand...I based my articles on the sources...?

• Judge's comment: If you see the article's talk page, I added what I believe is the section of the source you misunderstood. If you have other evidence (particular sentences) from your sources which support your view, please add them there and I will take a look. If convinced, I will then vote to approve the article.

• There seems to be no judge for french wikinews. Regarding to the rules you can't participate because of this. -- Kju 21:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Hmm...computer translations are not acceptable? You'd get a gist of what the author was saying. --Ari S. 12 September 2005

• Judge's comment: How we have handled this in the past is to allow the contestant to remain, with the hope of finding a judge for their language. If no judge is found by the end of the contest, then they will be disqualified. StuRat 07:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• Hégésippe normally should be able to help out... I'm currently translating the project page so he can become a judge. Faager 15:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
