[edit] Note

Due to a recent change in guidelines, all articles must be reviewed by an independent user before publication. To ask for this review please tag your articles with {{review}}. I have reviewed your articles from today, this is just a note to ask you to follow this when writing article in the uture. Thanks, Anonymous101talk 16:25, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Professional wrestler Walter "Killer" Kowalski dies at age 81

Where did you get the info for this article? The cited sources do not back up virtually any of the info in the article itself. Cirt (talk) 23:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

If that is the case that you got info from the Wikipedia article, you did not cite the Wikipedia article as a source. I went through the article and the secondary sources listed when I did the review and literally none of the sources listed corroborated with any of the info in the article - so were those secondary sources not used at all and the Wikipedia article was the only source? Even if the Wikipedia article were cited at that time, it really is best to rely more on other secondary sources instead. Cirt (talk) 19:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article tags

please remember, when creating articles, to add {{develop}} or {{review}} to them so they can be found in the newsroom. If no tags are present, then the article can only be noticed in recent changes. If no one notices it, then it could be come orphaned and buried in Wikinews, only to be found much later. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 17:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Please try to remember to add proper tags to articles you create/review/publish :-P DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Contributing Reporter Award

This award is presented to Wikinews reporters upon their 11th published news article.

Please note you shouldn't add yourself to the list of people with these awards until someone actually gives you it. Liked the Newman one, but keep looking at what changes get made after you've started an article to improve your wikinews-foo. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] File:R Venkataraman.jpg

Can you please add a source and a fair use rational for this image? Thanks :-} DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:23, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

This non-free image is claimed to be used under fair use but has no explanation on why it is permitted under our fair use policy. Non-free images are not permitted on Wikimedia Foundation projects without fair use rationales. Please supply a detailed rationale for each use of this image in all of the articles that it is used in, and remove this template when that has been done. Images without valid rationales are eligible for speedy deletion. --SVTCobra 22:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

If you do not address these issues the image will be deleted. --SVTCobra 11:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Self publish

Due to policy changes at Wikinews articles should now never be self-published. All articles must be labelled {{review}} and independently reviewed. This is controlled by FlaggedRevisions and adding {{publish}} will not put an article on the front page. It is more likely to get lost if tagged as such without review. --Brian McNeil / talk 08:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
