Ten April Fool's pranks of 2009

Noticed you were also helping with wikinews main page for April Fool's. I added wikipedia pranks and the archived main page for wikipedia April Fool's 2009 anniversaries, FA, DYK, wikipedia type news, is there an archive of wikinews news main page? Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 21:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Gold mine

Would you mind placing the gold mine article on another lead and put the Guiding Light lead back up? I only say that because it's been the #2 top-read story every hour since it's been published so clearly there isn't a lack of demand for people reading it. Mike Halterman (talk) 22:26, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

ThanksThanks Dear for your welcome message. I am sure I will slowly learn how to and what to edit. Thanks again for encouraging. Dineshjk (talk) 17:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Alaska Infobox

Funny I see you create it. I don't recall the article, but I tried and tried different variations of an infobox a few days ago. And I didn't think to check if there even was one. Good eye :-D DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

So...am I out of the writing contest?

I had thought that I could use my free pass for April 3, but looking back at the rules now that I'm seemingly out, I guess I can only do that if I wrote more than one article the previous day? Or something? Ah well, in any event, it was fun. :D — Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 05:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

• That's not necessary; you're right about the rules, I just misunderstood. And please don't misunderstand, I wasn't trying to be a jerk and weasel my way back into the contest! lol. Thanks for organizing that and letting me participate, I had a good time! — Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 14:16, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Hallo!

Hi Tempodivalse, thanks for the wellcome back! It's good to be back! --Skenmy ^talk 14:26, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: At least 3 police officers killed in Pittsburgh shootings

A "Validation" is when I mark the article as "Accurate" based on the sources and information available. It is something that I do - it is the equivalent of a sighting, plus the confirmation that I really have thoroughly checked the article. Sighting will only work when the article is changed again, though. Not sure why it isn't working for you, to be honest, DragonFire1024 has since sighted the article... --Skenmy ^talk 22:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

A lot of people don't actually check the article as thoroughly as I would expect them to for a Validation, just enough for a sighting (basic fact checking, npov, style, newsworthyness, etc). They do pretty much the same thing. --Skenmy ^talk 22:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Archiving user talk page

There is a bot for user talk page archiving - check the code on my userpage. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 23:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. ♪ Tempodivalse ♪ 23:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Grossly offensive usernames - or those containing personal information

Do not entertain the creators of such usernames in any way, they are generally attacking administrators, checkusers, and stewards who have stomped on them somewhere. Templating their talk page with an 'unacceptable username' warning just puts the obscenity or slander into recent changes again. By all means, block, but alert a checkuser or steward - these usernames can be hidden in the user creation log, the underlying IP is likely a proxy or Tor node, and getting the information shared on the checkuser mailing list will get them zapped globally and other wikis forewarned. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:06, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Contest

Thank you for your note. It really has taken me by surprise! Oh my goodness. I really learned a lot by contributing articles, (and then improving articles :-), and also by reading articles of others for style, content and format. Your articles indeed are a great value to wikinews, and your contest seemed to provide an additional fun way to contribute to wikinews. There are several editors who provide so much to wikinews in various ways. SriMesh | talk 18:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

About G20 death

This is all over the news. I just saw it on TV. The man wasn't protesting, and he fell unconscious after being hit by a police officer, dying moments later. The media is all over the case, with several people commenting on the police actions. The source of interest of this event has changed. The article as it is, is false. There must be something we can do. If nothing else, we should create a new article. This IS NOT a minor update. A protester didn't collapse at a G20 protest.

Hey, Thanks for letting me know. Jacroe (talk) 21:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the greetings!

Hey, just wanted to say that your comment on my talk page was quite motivating for me :) ! Thanks for having said hello, and though I imagine longer "holidays" are still going to be frequent, I do enjoy "dabbling" about here.

Thanks! Vitorbraziledit ^talk 20:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks, Thanks, and Thanks! I'm looking for it to modify the style to can aply in Portuguese Wikinews. You help me a lot! But, which MediaWiki do i have to modify to put this MediaWiki in Special:Contributions?

Vitorbraziledit ^talk 02:37, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

• Tempo, the page MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer was created years ago at Portuguese Wikinews with the text: "-", but it is not in Special:Contributions of any user! Can you help me? Vitorbraziledit ^talk 03:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Question

How do i get my article published! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 09akoguc (talk • contribs)

well i put it for review, and got a template that said change from reveiw to publish. Can you take a look at my article

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/April_20th:_10_years_ago:_COLUMBINE_Massacre

I would really appreciate it.

hey, i never wrote anything bias. there are no opinions. The style is fine. Can't it just be published. It has to be published today. it will be useless tomorow.

DELETE MY ARTICLE!! YOU ARE RIGHT! NEXT TIME I HAVE TO WRITE DIFFERENTLY! THANKS FOR THE TIPS. I AM NEW HERE AND DIDN'T KNOW MUCH! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 09akoguc (talk • contribs)

i am working on fixing it.

Ok, are you a administrator. If you are you can delete all my "FALSE ARTICLES"09akoguc (talk) 16:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I never did anything like that.09akoguc (talk) 00:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Dive right in

Thanks for the welcome on my talk page. Please be bold and improve 21 polo ponies die at US Open; that would be my ideal welcome. --Una Smith (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for following up on my request.

--Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

One more favour: Can the category Transport in India be added to these pages as well?

Major train wreck in Southern India, Investigation into Mumbai train bombings begins, Bombing on train from India to Pakistan kills at least 68, 15 killed, 30 injured attempting to steal fuel from train in India.

{{publish}} was missing

Thanks for that catch and the Doctors without Borders in parentheses. Firefox messed up on me and I had to redo the edit and missed re-adding publish. Calebrw (talk) 00:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Also The rebels have now been forced back to a small coastal strip, where about fifty thousand people have been trapped after it was evacuated of 100,000 people. could be made stronger. Calebrw (talk) 00:51, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Much better now. That whole paragraph makes much more sense. Calebrw (talk) 00:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Having fun with Anonymous?

Heh, I see you had a pubescent kiddie whinging and trolling around the place making retarded threats. Wonder what he was going to do? Transmit the puss from his acne to your IP address? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Uh-huh. tempodivalse 14:19, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Quick question...

"Broadcast reports don't usually qualify as OR". Could you check and see if there is official policy on this? I have always thought that they were, but I want to get this article fleshed out so I don't have time now. Thanks, Calebrw (talk) 22:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Eh, I'm fine with it now. Calebrw (talk) 23:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Please see: Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#OR_and_Broadcast_report. Your thoughts are needed too. Calebrw (talk) 00:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: 09akoguc (talk · contribs)

The user has an, allebit short, block history. The rate at which the links were appearing was high, and the block was pre-emptive originally. The user, however, seems riled about something, or almost "too eager" to contribute to the extent that he is disrupting the site. This is why I shortened the original block from 48 hours to 24 hours. --Skenmy ^talk 20:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
