First article

I wrote my first article. It needs reviewed, but I don't know how to request it be done. Could you help me with that? Unitanode (talk) 23:09, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

You should add {{review}} to an article if you think it's ready to undergo a peer review and be published. Tempodivalse [talk] 02:15, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the tip. UnitAnode 02:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

• Actually, I had already done that, but for some reason, User:SVTCobra -- in lieu of reviewing it -- just changed it back. This is a pretty frustrating process. UnitAnode 02:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

It appears, from checking the history, that Brian McNeil (talk · contribs) was the one who initially removed the review tag. You never re-added it afterward. Then SVTCobra (talk · contribs) came around and tagged as being developing, because all articles not under review should have that template. You can re-add review if you want to, i think, since I see you tried to address the initial problems with the articles. Please, don't be discouraged by this; writing an article can be a challenging process but it's rewarding to get it published, as you'll see the artible be displayed on the main page and it'll be listed in the Google News index. Tempodivalse [talk] 02:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll try it again. As you glanced at it, did you notice any glaring problems that would keep it from being ready for review? UnitAnode 02:52, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

It looks ok to me. A bit on the short side, perhaps, but otherwise good in terms of writing, style, format. Tempodivalse [talk] 03:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I've reviewed and published the article, it should now appear on the front page. Great work, thanks! Tempodivalse [talk] 03:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

• Thank you so much! I'd have been completely hopeless without your help this evening! UnitAnode 05:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

  No problem. It's a bit of a learning curve, but I'm sure you'll soon get the hang of it if you keep with it. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:01, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Question

What is the entrants' page in the Wikinews talk namespace? Shouldn't it be in the Wikinews mainspace? --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 03:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Gee, I don't know why it's there. I agree it doesn't seem totally appropriate for a talk page. Moving it to the WN regular namespace probably would be a good idea. Tempodivalse [talk] 03:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you move the page and update the sitenotice? Sorry for the late reply.--The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 01:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Review

Please could you review Adult H1N1 swine flu death takes Northern Ireland death toll to seventeen for me? Thanks, Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 21:54, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps a bit later, right now i have other things I'd like to do. If it's not reviewed in a couple of hours I'll take a look at it. Tempodivalse [talk] 21:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I see it's been reviewed. Sorry for not having done it myself Tempodivalse [talk] 00:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome

I know you've always wanted one :p

Welcome to Wikinews

Getting started as a contributor How to write an article Pick something current? Use two independent sources? Read your sources before writing the story in your own words?. Do choose a unique title? before you start. Follow Wikinews' structure? for articles, answering as many of who what when where why and how? as you can; summarised in a short, two- or three-sentence opening paragraph. Once complete, your article must be three or more paragraphs. If you need help, you can add {{helpme}} to your talkpage, along with a question, or alternatively, just ask? Use this tab to enter your title and get a basic article template.

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. As you get more involved, you will need to look into key project policies and other discussions you can participate in; so, keep this message on this page and refer to the other links in it when you want to learn more, or have any problems.   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.

Write your first article for Wikinews! Use the following box to help you create your first article. Simply type in a title to your story and press "Create page". Then start typing text to your story into the new box that will come up. When you're done, press "save page". That's all there is to it! It is recommended you read the article guide before starting. Also make sure to check the list of recently created articles to see if your story hasn't already been reported upon.

Al-Qaida demands hostage exchange; threatens to kill if demands not met

Thanks for adding categories to Al-Qaida demands hostage exchange; threatens to kill if demands not met; for some reason I was not awake today. I first forgot to put the sources when I put it up for review (normally that's the first thing I do when I create an article) and then I forgot all of the categories! For some reason, the article is not showing up on the Main Page now. As for the first review, that was most peculiar. I'm hoping it has nothing to do with the fact that I myself failed an article earlier, and am AGFing right now. --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 14:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I sighted the article, that was preventing it from appearing on the main page DPLs. I'm not sure what was up about the failed review on your article either, it was invalid anyway as the reviewer was not an editor. Tempodivalse [talk] 14:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Man Shot dead in Glasgow this afternoon

At an Asda car park in Robroyston, Glasgow this afternoon a man has been shot dead. I don't know how to work wikinews yet but i was hoping to suggest the story to see what people know.

Well, that's a pretty local story, i wasn't aware of it. If you want to write up an article on it though, you're certainly welcomed an encouraged to do so. Just take a look through the welcome message on your talk page, that should get you started. It's really not difficult to write a story. :-) If you need help, please feel free to ask me.

WWC contest standings

I updated the score. I decreased BRS's score to from 5 to 3 as his article was in the 1200-1900 word category (3 points), and i increased your score by 2 points (all of your articles seemed to be over 1200 words). Did i miss anything when scoring them? Bawolff ☺☻ 12:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Nope, you didn't. I've increased my score to twenty with the publication of my other articles, could you recheck to make sure i've done it correctly?

Piccies

Any chance with your articles you could send a couple of minutes to add a picture in? It looks better and is easier for leads. Obviously, some stories shouldn't have one because it would be pointless and crap. Otherwise, great writing, keep it up!    Tris   17:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, probably should. Problem is, it's hard to find a picture that is both relevant and complements the article with extra info. Mebbe i'll do a more thorough search on Commons next time. Tempodivalse [talk] 17:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

It's fine I understand, it's just I've noticed most of your articles, whilst good, lack them. Anyway, looks like you're doing pretty well with the comp!    Tris   18:00, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, hope you are doing well. Can you add {{Image source}} credits for the 2 images? And also be more precise, remove the "file photo" caption, and just say the name of the person and year it was taken? Cirt (talk) 03:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Done. The first pic doesn't need an image credit as it is PD. Tempodivalse [talk] 03:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Not quite. Please see [1]. (And it can't hurt to give credit and attribution for images, even if they are PD.) Cirt (talk) 03:14, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

The diff I linked to was to show you proper image credit formatting. And please see my prior reply about that... :P Cirt (talk) 03:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit conflict] Generally image credit should be given on the basis of its a nice thing to do (and potentially to be clear to readers), not because it is legally required (really we don't have to give any credit, as its on the linked image page). Bawolff ☺☻ 03:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, noted (although IIRC public domain means that there is absolutely no restriction on using the image anywhere, right?). Done in any case, thanks. Tempodivalse [talk] 03:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

e/c = What Bawolff (talk · contribs) said. Cirt (talk) 03:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

It should be noted that that is not entirely true, it depends on country and stuff. (IANAL) I think it is in US. In other countries it varies. Some countries you cannot refuse some of rights. From my understanding (which is very limited, and probably wrong). In Canada for example (I think, might be wrong IANAL), I think you have to sign a contract in order to refuse to reserve your moral rights (right to attribution, not having the work used in a degrading way). See w:Moral rights (copyright law). The commons people probably know this better then me. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I completely understand what you want me to do. If you mean that you watched the thing on television, and know that it's correct, but can't find any online sources for it, you could label it as {{broadcast report}} (but make sure to put detailed notes on the talk page about what information in the article was taken from personal observations on the television screen).

It can be at either end of the page (although I personally prefer it being at the top, because it's more visible there, but it really doesn't matter much). However, {{review}} should always appear at the top of the page so it's prominently seen. Tempodivalse [talk] 14:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry about that.

Hi Tempodivalse, I hope you are doing well. Perhaps you could take a look at this edit? I do not think enough has been changed, and still have major objections as raised in the first review on the talk page.

I agree with you and Cobra, only part of the concerns (which I think are legitimate) have been addressed. i.e., "Obama has shown a frequently strained relationship with the mass media" hasn't been altered. Perhaps I'll fail the review a second time. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Background on user page

Can you please help me with this problem I'm having? I've tried to copy Juliancolton's idea of using an image for a background, but with a paragraph all over an image instead of userboxes. Can you please help me by spreading the text all over the image in some way if possible? And could you please remove the space between the bottom of the picture and the border if you can? Please help me if you are available. Thanks, Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 23:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, I'm not very proficient with wikimarkup, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about things like this. But I'll help as much as I can. I *think* that the correct formatting for a page layout similar to that of user:Juliancolton is this:

---

<div style="position: relative; height: 1%;"> <div style="position: relative; margin: 0 -1em; padding: 0; background-color: transparent; border: 1px none #ddd; height: 1%;"> <div style="position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 725px; border: 1px solid #4E562C; height: 1%;"> <div style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; height: 450px;"><!-- Height of the main image --> <div style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0;">[[INSERT IMAGE HERE|INSERT IMAGE WIDTH HERE]]</div> </div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 96%;"> <div style="margin: 1em; font-size: 95%;"> </div> <div style="position: absolute; left: 1em; top: 1em; z-index: 10; width: 250px; border: none; padding: 0.75em 1em; background-color:none;"> <div style="font-size: 2em; margin: 0.5em 0; padding-bottom: 3px; color:blue; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;"><font color="white">INSERT TEXT HERE</font></div> <div style="clear:both"></div> </t>

---

Try copying that to your userpage, replacing "INSERT IMAGE/WIDTH/TEXT HERE" places with the image and text you want to use, you can also change things like the font colour or font type by altering font color="white" or font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;, respectively. Let me know if that works; if not, I'll try looking into it more. Tempodivalse [talk] 00:03, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much for this. However I do still have two problems. Can anything be done to

A) change the colour of font (because it is barely legible) and/or B) remove the gap between the bottom of the board and the writing? Could I speak to anyone else about this? Please let me know as soon as you can. --Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 17:02, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome, no problem. To change the colour of the font, simply add <font color="INSERT COLOUR HERE"> [text you wish to change the colour of] </font>, replacing the "INSERT COLOUR HERE" with any standard colour such as "blue", "red", "green", etc., or even "light blue, "dark red", "dark green" etc. To remove the gap between the bottom of the image and the text is a bit more difficult, and I'm not sure what's the best way to do it, but you could try A) making the width of the image smaller so the text will take up more vertical room, or B) making the text itself larger, with use of <big></big> tags. Hope that makes sense. If that isn't clear, I'll try to re-explain it, or, alternatively, perhaps you can tell me precisely what changes you want and I'll try editing your userpage myself to make them, if that's ok.

Sorry, but I really have no clue. (Perhaps ask this at WN:IRC or the water cooler?) But, a quick glance at the article doesn't show anything that would stop it from being published - it looks ok to me. One issue though - and I noticed that you seem to do this frequently - is that whenever you're linking, please make sure to use local links where possible and not wikipedia, especially when linking a country; i.e., [[United Kingdom]] as opposed to [[w:United Kingdom|]]. Wikipedia links should only be used where there's no corresponding page on Wikinews. Tempodivalse [talk] 02:07, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter now, it's already been published. --Rayboy8 (my talk) (my contributions) 09:30, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Right. Sorry for not replying, I saw your message a few hours ago but was too tired to reply, let alone review the article. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 16:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for putting the article Court ruling upholds expulsion of New York Senator convicted of assault as Lead 1. Much appreciated, Cirt (talk) 17:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I did it because the other story wasn't up-to-par on WN:SG (see Talk:Inventor Ronald Howes dies at age 83#Concerns, plus it wasn't as newsworthy for top lead. We didn't have an international-importance story published so I figured the Montserrate story would be ok. Tempodivalse [talk] 18:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, international news media have reported on the Monserrate case as well. Cirt (talk) 18:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Request

Care to decline this unblock request at User talk:Psalm Tours? The account has made a statement admitting it is both an account named after and managed by a group organization, and that the account is used by multiple different individuals at the organization - a blatant violation of m:Role account. Cirt (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I denied the unblock request, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Tempodivalse [talk] 22:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

(sorry i didn't see your message sooner) I've already been the commentator for last week's newsletter; is it appropriate for me to do it again so soon? I dunno ... Tempodivalse [talk] 02:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Whoops, I forgot that. No problem, I'll ask someone else. --Mikemoral♪♫ 02:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Figured this is the best place to ping you...

Since you still have the bits at simple.wikiquote, could I have +sysop and +bureaucrat back until the project closes please? Thanks, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:05, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
