Getting started as a contributor
|
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. |
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. |

Your contributions[edit]
Reports of such action by Anonymous seem relevant; that's one of the three basic elements of newsworthiness. To write a Wikinews article capable of passing review, though, you need to start with a newsworthy (i.e., specific, relevant, fresh) focus; collect your sources, with at least two mutually independent trust-worthy sources corroborating the focal event; and write three or more paragraphs (with text equivalent at least to three medium-sized paragraphs) in an WN:inverted pyramid starting with a short, to-the-point lede.
I recommend reading WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing (don't worry, it's short); and then WN:Writing an article, an excellent guide to writing an article for Wikinews. --Pi zero (talk) 12:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
