Welcome to Wikinews

A nice cup of coffee for you while you get started

Getting started as a contributor
How to write an article
  1. Pick something current?
  2. Use two independent sources?
  3. Read your sources before writing the story in your own words?. Do choose a unique title? before you start.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
    [RECOMMENDED. Starts your article through the semi-automated {{develop}}—>{{review}}—>{{publish}} collaboration process.]

 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.

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
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.

Hello there. Please don't create test articles or other articles that are not news, as we are Wikinews. If you wish to test, please use the Sandbox. For more information about how to write a news article, see Wikinews:Writing an article. Thank you. Heavy Water (talk) 15:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

You need to respect the copyright of the sources. I do not know exactly what tool you used for translation, but you cannot just translate Indonesian news articles and post them here as your own work. SVTCobra 09:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

hi SVTCobra. Please help me or provide another solution so that the news that I made be trusted and maintained. You are my best friend in mentoring on Wikinews. Asdw625gc (talk) 09:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

SVTCobra or please make a new news with the same theme as I wrote. However, the content is somewhat different from the original news source. Asdw625gc (talk) 09:43, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I do not speak Indonesian, so it is really hard for me to write on topics which are essentially local news (pedestrian projects, reconstruction projects). You need to have at least two independent sources and you need to write in your own words in English. If you cannot do this, you might have better luck at id.wikinews.org.

I appreciate your efforts to contribute to Wikinews and desire for coverage from Ngawi. We do not create categories for anything until there are three published articles about it. Cheers, --SVTCobra 23:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
