Requirements[edit]

To become an accredited reporter, you must satisfy the following requirements:-

  1. You must be an established contributor in good standing to Wikinews or another Wikimedia Foundation project
  2. You must have created or expanded several of your own Wikinews articles
  3. You must show that you have a thorough understanding of Wikinews' Neutral Point of View policy

If you do not satisfy the above requirements, it is unlikely that you will become accredited.

Procedure[edit]

In order to receive accreditation, you should submit your candidacy by filling in the form below. Once you hit submit, a seven-day time period will begin, within which the community will vote. If consensus is reached, you will become accredited. You can view your request at any time at Wikinews:Accreditation requests/message.
