[edit] Images on leads
I've asked Bawolff if it's possible to have 'default' images other than the WN logo where none present on the article being made a lead. The Location<country> ones - to me - look quite dated now. Bawolff's suggestion is looking for an infobox and basing the map used on it's name. I think it might be more interesting to make it a little cleverer and look at all the categories and offer a list of image options.
Anyway, this is not going to be done in the particularly short-term, but it'd be good to work out how to improve the makelead code to deal with stuff like this. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that would be a good idea, although I imagine it would be difficult to program something on those lines. Perhaps it would be simpler to just have a prompt when updating a lead without using an image? Tempodivalse [talk] 14:49, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- What I was thinking was default images for main cats like Disasters/accidents, Crime/law; for countries - where > 1 country for a continent available, the continent. Obviously if you have an infobox, there's the image from within it. That - I think - covers virtually all bases. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:58, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

- At the moment, if there is no image, you can add to the template code in the source preview window. (It will save whatever text is in the box, so people can modify it if it doesn't generate the ideal code). Bawolff ☺☻ 18:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Draft
Could you take a look at this? --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 23:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- What is it exactly you want me to do? I see that Bawolff sighted the page, but it's now beneath the three paragraph minimum. At the same time, I can see how the paragraph he took out was potentially incorrect, so i can't say i disagree with his edit. Page probably needs to be expanded to the minimum size. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 00:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- I left his message to ask you to fix what the IP wanted, but I was a bit unsure of what to do. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 01:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. Well, I've fixed a few minor things with the article, but it really needs to have an additional paragraph - it would qualify as {{minimal}} if it weren't published. I probably won't add to it though, as that's not a topic that interests me at all. Perhaps you would want to have a go? Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 02:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks
Gosh, it's been ages since I've had a "welcome new person" message; how kind of you to notice. As you may have guessed, I'm a en:Wikipedia regular. I noticed a lack of news stories about Oxford University whilst setting up a Portal, so the solution might just be to come and write them myself... E.g. this story was missed - or wouldn't it count as important enough? Hmmm, I've got a lot to learn here, haven't I? Regards, Bencherlite (talk) 01:59, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome, it's fun to {{subst:welcome}} everyone. As far as that story goes, yes, I think it would have been newsworthy (that's Wikinews' version of notability) enough for publication. The reason our coverage is so patchy is because we have much fewer editors than does Wikipedia, there are probably only about fifteen or so consistently active users throughout the site; we consequently don't have enough manpower to cover everything. You, of course, are quite welcome to write articles here if you like, any help you could give the project would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 02:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Would you be able to provide a screenshot of the type setting on lead messing things up? (See also WN:WC#type.3Dbreaking_in_leads). Cheers. Bawolff ☺☻ 17:01, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:MainPageSpacingProblem.jpg
I see no problem here. I assume you complaining about the "exclusive interview" and article title being below the picture? The "Exclusive interview" is too wide to fit, so it pushes it below. That comes first, then the title, so... the title will show up below also. Sorry, but a "standard" front page is not going to work at every screen size and in every circumstance. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 17:27, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, i was aware of that. Still, i think we should try to make things look good in as many resolutions as possible. IMO, the spacing looks awful, and it should be avoided if possible. (The "exclusive interview" thingy isn't all that important anyway.) Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 17:34, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Find me a completely "standard" layout used for information that changes on a regular basis, in the style in which we do, and I'll show you a hundred different ways to break it. I'm sorry, our layout does work on "as many resolutions as possible" and even in as many cases as possible. Sometimes, you get a bad roll of the dice and you lose, in this case, ya did. If you run bigger than 1024 (which is what you are in this shot), you're much less likely to see errors. I made the design around 1024 though, but like I said, it isn't always going to work. I had another setup for the leads that worked much better in this type of scenario, but in others it failed miserably. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 17:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- It's OK, no big deal. :-) You're quite right, we can't please everybody. Still, the type= leads generally don't work well on resolutions 1024x768 and below (and they're still pretty popular, from what i understand), so a lot of people would see this.

[edit] Thanks
Thanks fro your help on Juliancolton's talk page, it's appreciated. As is moving that article to the correct title. I would have done it myself but went back on to WP before I saw your comment. Would you mind taking a look at the article and giving me a little advice (Even on WP I don't create a huge number of article and this is quite new for me!) on what I can do to it to get it ready to be published? There doesn't seem to be an awful lot more material on it today but I'll have a look for more. Thanks again, HJMitchell You rang? 20:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- The article looks good overall, I think you've done a great job considering this is your first article. Style is very nice, as is formatting. I think it's publishable in its current form (although you might want to add a few extra sentences, for extra context, if there's more info that could be extracted from the sources?). Don't forget to replace {{develop}} with {{review}} when you want someone to look over the article and publish it, otherwise reviewers won't know the article is ready. One word of advice, I'd suggest that you do this fairly quickly, as we run a tight schedule and news that is several days old gets tagged as {{stale}}. Hope I helped. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 20:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. The formatting I just learnt from WP and the rest of it I learnt from poking around WN. Thanks for your help. I'll see what else I can extract from the sources and tag it for review. And yes, you helped, thanks a lot! HJMitchell You rang? 23:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Tempodivalse [talk] 00:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- OK, one more. What can I do here to make myself useful without writing lots of articles? The recent changes (where i go when I get bored) here is a LOT quieter than enwiki! HJMitchell You rang? 12:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Let's see ... (just some ideas off the top of my head) You could randomly skim through Wikinews:Water cooler (our version of WP's Village pump) and comment on some threads if you want, we currently have several unresolved issues that need community input. If you receive Wikinews:Editor status, you're allowed to review and publish articles waiting in the {{review}} queue - that's also a very useful task. Or, simply go through recent changes once in a while to check for vandalism, and see if there are discussions you want to comment on. We also have a IRC channel you could participate in. Hope this helps. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re: berlusconi assault follow up
Hi, I notice following Jon Harald Soby's move of the story I posted earlier, that you further moved the article. I've taken issue with Jon, asking him to explain why the move in the first place, since the original story from yesterday is or was in front page, so people who saw yesterday's article and I would imagine there would be quite a lot, would have known 1: Who the Prime Minister of Italy was, and 2: Why he was in hospital in the first place :) The article was fine as it was, it didn't need moving, and this has now messed a lot of users of Twitter up, who've got the same story under 2 or 3 different titles from us :) I don't know why I bother, sometimes... Iceflow (talk) 01:04, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps so, but, IMHO, we shouldn't automatically assume that everyone looking at the article had read the previous story, as that won't always be the case. The title "Berlusconi to remain in hospital", I thought, doesn't provide enough context to the casual reader, who might not have read our previous story. Adding "after assault" makes things more clear. That's just my view on it, anyway. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 01:33, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- OK, but by looking at the new article they'd have seen a link there anyhow to the previous one, with his name and his title in it :) Iceflow (talk) 01:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but that link isn't very prominently displayed, and, imo, it's easier just to be completely clear from the get-go. No biggies though, i don't think it's a very serious issue either way. That the headline was duplicated on the Twitter feed is of minor consequence. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 01:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Climate contrarians in Copenhagen
Please join the discussion, if you can do it attentively, if you have some free 30 minutes? Q/0/k 11:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps I'll comment a bit later; however, Brian's recent post on that page seems to hit the nail on the head. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:12, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm just afraid that this novice user Wikiwide, the author of the article, being probably a scientist (you just look at the first version of this article), has a very little understanding of what Wikinews is. And probably has lots of other work to do, is not interested, etc. Even the topic of climate contrarians near UNCCC sounds scientific, doesn't it? I think that if you revive this article, it will be very good
- for Wikinews,
- for this user, and
- for the environment
- (as some of the "skeptics" or
- just common diesel car drivers can find this article realistic)
Please be informed that only an experienced Wikinews user can manage with such significant and responsible task. Q/0/k 04:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hm. Well it would probably be easier to create a new article than to rewrite the existing piece, considering that one's completely out of date. Maybe I'll try to write a climate change article (or add to the existing article) a bit later. I don't have much time or energy to do it now, sorry. Tempodivalse [talk] 04:16, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
I think that Wikiwide will be especially grateful if you do not throw away the ideas about the contradicting statements of climate contrarians. The writing in the current version looks quite consistent, it could just be enough to find another meeting of that same group, but in recent dates. (Once, it was a very pleasant spectacle for me to see that a brief I had written was rewritten - without any of my words thrown away - in a masterpiece.) Hopefully it is possible to strike out as little as possible from the current article we are discussing. Q/0/k 04:36, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- It would be difficult not to remove a large portion of the article as it stands; most of it is far out of date. But I'll see what I can do. Tempodivalse [talk] 04:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen King
Hey, thanks for chiming in on the Stephen King article. Y'know, I understand the single source policy. That's cool....I get it. But, you know, on articles like that....the AP is the AP........every little podunk rag in the world is simply going to print what the AP sent out. I can troll around for little bits from the Buckspit Herald or whatever, but they'll just have what the Tyler Morning Telegraph picked up off the wire. Maybe it's just vexed by "minimal"?? What do you think?Buddpaul (talk) 20:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, articles that have only a single source (with the possible exception of original reporting) generally won't stand much of a chance of being published. This is mainly because every news agency, even a well-regarded one like the AP, will eventually make a mistake in reporting, so to be on the safe side, we always have a second source to help corroborate the story and make sure it's correct. This policy page contains some more info on this. Are you sure you couldn't find any other news agency reporting on the event? I'd suggest looking at Google's news aggregator, if you haven't already, they have material from a wide variety of news sources and you might be able to find a second source for your article. Hope this helped. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 21:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New editor
Hiya. I have recently become an editor but I don't know how to find the revision ID for articles. I'm not exactly sure as to what you need to do to find it. Can you please help me? Also, can you explain to me just what I can do now that I have become editor? Thanks, Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 14:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Rayboy, congrats on receiving editor privs. Basically, the editor tool allows you to {{review}} articles waiting in the queue, and, if they meet our standards, {{publish}} them. You should take a look at Wikinews:Reviewing articles for more info on this.
- There are a few other minor things editor allows you to do: for instance, you can edit published articles and the lead templates without needing another user to approve them. You, in turn, can also approve (or "sight") edits made to published articles by non-Editors. See Wikinews:Editor and Wikinews:Flagged revisions for more info on this. It's a bit complicated, but you should get the hang of it soon.
- The revision ID is in the history page of an article — compare the two latest edits of an article, and look at the URL - it's the number after "oldid". (However, if you enable the Easy Peer Review gadget in your preferences, then, when you review an article, the parameter will be automatically filled in.) Hope this helps, Tempodivalse [talk] 14:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- You should not need to worry unduly about the revision ID! Please use the EzPeerReview Gadget when reviewing articles; This does the complex work, including creating appropriate pages to try and get articles listed in Google News. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
How do you "sight" an article? --Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 21:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- To sight an article, scroll down to the bottom of the page you wish to sight and you should see a little brown box that says something like "Review this revision". Press "Submit" to sight the article. When you're comparing two edits, though (such as when reviewing a change made by a non-Editor), that box will appear at the top instead.

[edit] New article - Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri dies
Hi. I hope I've done this properly in updating the lead - I know it's a draft at the moment. If it's not I'd appreciate you letting me know what I've done wrong. I think this is very important news and needs to have a prominent position, but I don't want to get rid of the Saturn thing either. Cheers Cueball (talk) 15:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry to but in and answer here Tempo - hope you don't mind, but I was around and thought I'd explain. The article needs to go through a review by an editor not involved in writing it. You do that by adding {{Review}} to it. I'm bias to Saturn since I wrote the article but I do think it should stay main for a while since science is underreported round here. Maybe, when it's been reviewed and published, you could knock off one of the two stories from the US? Balance things up a bit. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 15:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

- Well, you could try asking at Wikinews:Water cooler/assistance for help, that could attract some attention. I've taken a hack at trying to expand the article, and have added {{review}} to it. I won't review it because I've added a fair deal of text (and so might not be "uninvolved"), but someone else should soon. Tempodivalse [talk] 16:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Type of news
I've just placed a breaking news marker on one of the articles on the front page. However, many people say that they should be removed as they clutter up the page. I have to strongly disagree with that. What do you suggest? --Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 18:38, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- The main problem with using the type= marker is that, at lower resolutions, they frequently cause a rather ugly whitespace on the lower four leads. See for instance this screenshot - note that "Exclusive interview" is bumped down because there's not enough space next to the image. I'm not sure what's the best way to fix this problem, other than not to use the type= marker at all. Might be something to bring up at Wikinews:Water cooler/technical. Tempodivalse [talk] 18:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

- I've skimmed through it a bit, looks interesting and it should be a helpful "quick-start" for newbies. I'll have a closer look tomorrow when I have more time and energy. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 05:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Your support for my RFA
I would like to thank you for supporting my successful RFA and for your confidence in me. I look forward to serving further the English Wikinews community in this new capacity. I shall take the new tasks required of an administrator on board step by step and will make the utmost effort to fulfil the role to the best of my abilities. Kind regards Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 12:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome, you certainly deserved getting the bits. :-) Happy admin-ing. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] New article -Blue moon to occur on New years Eve
Hi Temp, I am new to Wikinews. you removed my article because of possible copyright violation, I understand the reasoning. So, I rewrote the article and attached a picture, It still has some minor info from the original news article, if its OK now can you please move it from Temp please. [1] Thanks Theo10011 (talk) 18:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- That looks better, thanks. I'll move the page over the old copy shortly. Tempodivalse [talk] 19:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thank youTheo10011 (talk) 19:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, glad i could help. Although i can't review the article myself at the moment, i've disagreed with the failed review and re-added {{review}}. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 05:05, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikinewsie Wiki Pass.
Hi, I see you've added me onto the WIkinewsie wiki, thanks, but unfortunately I haven't received a password for it (have checked spam filters etc). I think the email adress down for me as an alt. contact is wrong, it might be the '+wn' suffix on my gmail for emails from wikinews is causing the snafu, would it be possible to change my alt. email to julesmattsson[at]googlemail.com and resend a pass. Thanks, --JulesMattsson (talk) 12:35, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
