Getting started as a 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 an 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. |
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

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. |

Hi. On review of this article, I found it not-ready for publication in its current form. My review comments are here.
You may find WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing helpful as an overview of things here. There's also lots of useful stuff in the {{Howdy}} template at the top of this page. Feel free to ask questions. --Pi zero (talk) 16:10, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi again.
- I've re-reviewed the article. My review comments: here.
- The thing is, it doesn't seem to be a news article, so much as an encyclopedia article. It looks as if you may have tried to submit some of this material to a Wikipedia article and had it rejected as "self-promotion"; they have their own inclusion criteria over there, and tend to be quite demanding about material on a narrow topic. We, on the other hand, have our own particular inclusion criteria, which are described at page WN:Newsworthiness. In this case, I'm particularly not seeing a specific event; until one has that, one can't ask "is it relevant?", or "is it fresh?". --Pi zero (talk) 18:46, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- As the above comments note, this is not news. That's for far more reasons than being written in the style of an encyclopedia entry, starting with the fact that all the sources you have cited are in-excess of a year old. Formatting the article into news-style would merely be an intellectual exercise without something current to use as the focus of what is news. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:20, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
