[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikinews!

Getting a head start as a Wikinews contributor Welcome! Thank you for joining Wikinews; we'd love for you to stick around and get more involved. To help you get started we have a short essay that will guide you through the process of writing your first full article. There are many other things you can do on the project, but its lifeblood is new, current, stories written neutrally. As you get more involved you will want to look into the key policies for the project and other discussions you can participate in, so keep this message on your collaboration page and refer to the other links in it if you have problems or want to learn more.   Used to contributing to Wikipedia? See here.

All Wikimedia projects have rules. Here are ours. Listed here are the official policies of the project, you may be referred to some of them if your early attempts at writing articles don't follow them. Don't let this discourage you, we all had to start somewhere. The rules and guides laid out here are intended to keep content to high standards and meet certain rules the Wikimedia Foundation applies to all projects. It may seem like a lot to read, but you do not have to go through it all in one sitting, or know them all before you can start contributing. Remember, you should enjoy contributing to the project. If you're really stuck come chat with the regulars. There's usually someone in chat who will be happy to help, but they may not respond instantly.

The core policies Neutral point of view Cite sources Writing an article Content guide Style guide Reviewing articles

Places to go, people to meet Wiki projects work because a sense of community forms around the project. Although writing news is far more individualistic than contributing to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, people often need minor help with things like spelling and copyediting. If a story isn't too old you might be able to expand it, or if it is disputed you may be able to find some more sources and rescue it before it is listed for deletion. There are always discussions going on about how the site could be improved, and your input is of value. Check the links here to see where you can give input to the running of the Wikinews project.

[edit] Copyright violation issues

Hi, thanks for your contributions. One note though: please see this this article's edit history and the talk page. Before I rewrote parts of the article, several sentences had been copied verbatim from the sources - that constitutes a copyright violation in most cases (see WN:C). Please be careful to write everything in your own words, and not to allow your prose to sound too much like that of your sources. Thanks. (P.S. I replied to your message on my talk page.) Tempodivalse [talk] 19:23, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. Noted for copyvio: I tried to rewrite everything but got sloppy on those sentences; I'll be much more thorough next time. Regards -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

No worries. :-) Tempodivalse [talk] 20:01, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello, you talk in Russian? SergeyJ (talk) 02:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Extremely badly these days due to lack of practice, but yes. --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 10:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Возможно Вы смогли бы помочь в переводе на английский моего интервью для статьи здесь Talk:Russian Wikiversity launched? Или даже помочь в подготовке самой статьи ? SergeyJ (talk) 19:10, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

нет проблем! ;) --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 21:53, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Тогда, как у Вас появится время - улучшите автоперевод моего интервью (там есть оба варианта - русский и автоперевод на английский, который имеет плохое качество) SergeyJ (talk) 21:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Проблема. "Newsworthiness" еще не согласованы. --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 09:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Эту статью, между прочим, уже удалили, так как она больше недели была без изменения и была {{abandoned}} - то есть, <<брошенная>>. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

ОК Спасибо Tempodivalse --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 15:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
