Wikinews talk:Introduction

Regional editions?

Are there "regional editions" of Wikinews? For example, would a person see a different version depending on whether they access Wikinews from, say, the USA, Canada, or England? I'm asking this because I'm surprised at how much of what I see here seems to be from my area. Thanks. Wanderer57 (talk) 16:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

No, we don't have regional editions. The reason that we have so many articles from certain regions is because contributors like to write about there own area. Anonymous101^talk 16:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Presumably then there are a disproportionate number of contributors from my region. Is there a table of the number of contributors from various regions? Wanderer57 (talk) 18:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Task force

Is there something similar to (other Mediawiki) Wikiprojects or Taskforces in Wikinews?. --Diamondland (talk) 11:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

• Nope. Just me, BloodRedSandman, and Pi Zero cracking the whip and beating news articles out of you. ;-) --Brian McNeil / ^talk 19:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

  Whip! Task forces/WikiProjects don't really tend to work on WN, where we collectively tend to write whatever stories grab our attention at the time. Obviously, there are clear trends in each individual's reporting but for the most part we never tie ourselves to coverage of any specific area. There was an Australian project that worked well for a while, but it eventually became inactive. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 17:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
