Help[edit]

Hello,I want to know that how to show a new created post in a Latest Result stories, For example-if I creates a news regarding Cricket then how to show it in "Category:Cricket" in latest story result.i hope you understand.(Mr.Mani Raj Paul (talk) 14:29, 2 January 2019 (UTC))[reply]

<pi zero drops in on conversation> @Mr.Mani Raj Paul: Hi. Once you've written an article and submitted it for review, it needs to be reviewed in-depth by an authorized reviewer, and if it's published, then it appears in the lastest-story listings of various categories. See the first pillar at WN:PILLARS. --Pi zero (talk) 14:35, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Mr.Mani Raj Paul. What Pi zero said. Also at your talk page I proposed two changes which I think may be required for publication. Gryllida (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryllida:@Pi zero:,hello , can I know that how much time will take for publish or review a news??,(Mr.Mani Raj Paul (talk) 13:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC))[reply]

@Mr.Mani Raj Paul: One of the things it depends on is availability of reviewers (who are volunteers too, after all). I'm the most active reviewer on the project lately, and I happen to have had trouble fitting in review time for the past few days; usually, I'd like to think, I do better than this. --Pi zero (talk) 14:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The review times should be about to drop drastically. I've recently returned from a long hiatus, but I've been limited in terms of when I can contribute because I've been awaiting a new laptop. Although I haven't physically laid my hands on it yet, it arrived today and I'll hopefully be getting back into reviewing. A word of caution: I'll be starting with selected reviews that look easier to me, because I need to get used to doing it again. But even so, by reducing the amount of stuff on the queue I should be able to help improve wait times greatly for all articles. BRS (Talk) (Contribs) 16:59, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In my personal opinion reading the last section here and addressing it may improve the likelihood of publication. I would be glad to help. Currently I am a tad frustrated as it seems that this section was not read. Gryllida (talk) 22:01, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was now. Thanks. :-) Gryllida (talk) 04:09, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikinews about Crime and law[edit]

Briefs?[edit]

I hope you can read French if you want to read the link, sorry, but I was wondering if it would be possible to create a system on this wikinews, like the French one, where brief, small articles are published seperately so we can report more events? Only a suggestion Source; [1]. Thanks, Qwerty number1 (talk) 15:35, 20 February 2019 (UTC) Or, at least, did? Qwerty number1 (talk) 15:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

<dropping in on the conversation> We've done things like that (called "shorts") in the past, but have gradually found it doesn't work well for us. It doesn't teach the right skill set, at the same time it takes nearly as much effort to write properly as a minimal article and the review labor, by the time you add in the logistics of sets of the things, may actually be more than for a bunch of minimal articles. So we discourage shorts nowadays. --Pi zero (talk) 16:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Qwerty number1 :-) Do the French briefs contain answer to all 5Ws and an H in their first paragraph? Just checking as I think when English Wikinews tried them it was a requirement here Gryllida (talk) 20:19, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have got a first paragraph here (translated this time!)

According to Le Figaro newspaper, Congressman Jean Leal had planned a discreet meeting with about fifteen representatives of the movement this Wednesday afternoon to present a list with yellow waistcoats for the European elections in May.

Hope this helps, Qwerty number1 (talk) 08:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Qwerty number1.
  • Who: Congressman Jean Leal
  • What: planned a discreet meeting (what is that?)
  • When: wednesday afternoon
  • Why: to present a list with yellow waistcoats for the European elections in May. (what is this list for?)
  • How: (presumably he made an annoumcement either via social media or in person, this is missing)
  • Where: (missing)
I guess it is pretty hard to write a brief that has the answers to all these questions. English Wikinews requires these answers, they are pretty hard to gather in full, and this is why writing briefs did not work out. Now I am trying to address this by encouraging early feedback from non-reviewers --Gryllida (talk) 09:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!Qwerty number1 (talk) 10:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, me yet again. This is not another suggestion, but an observation. 1)there are not many reviewers about 2)Gryllida; I like your idea about welcoming articles; A) can I join, despite being quite new to this project? B)Have you got any ideas for making for more widespread on Wikinews? Qwerty number1 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1) I'm one of the reviewers. I think there is not many about because a lot of them become overwhelmed and this welcome-a-bit activity may help people become more confident with pre-review activities and more likely to succeed as a reviewer.
2) I'm glad you like it, I hope to find instant feedback more effective.
3) You are welcome to sign up at User:Gryllida/welcome a bit and I'll add you to the system. It is very new and may have bugs. Please report all bugs to me via talk page messages or by replying to emails!! If you do wish to give authors feedback, please
  • do this at their personal talk pages where it is easier for them to discover than the article talk page,
  • make your messages easy for them to handle and not overwhelming - they should contain one or two action items to do,
  • don't edit the article content for the first 24 hours after its creation or after their last edit,
  • make it clear that you are willing to help the author if they ask (in this case you can edit the article within the 24 hour period as well and make sure you let them know once you are done editing),
  • daily attacks at reading WN:PILLARS, WN:SG and WN:CG for the first week are recommended.
  • if you're not sure what to tell them or how to respond, ask at #wikinews live connect
or at the water cooler and someone would be glad to assist you :)
Again please let me know if there are any bugs or issues. :) And thanks for offering your help. Gryllida (talk) 23:20, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request[edit]

Please your remove your "proposal to close this discussion." It's only about the content dispute on the crusader article. It belongs on that article's talk page. In its current location, it is disrupting the guideline proposal thread. I support your right to refrain from participating in the guideline discussion if you don't want to, but not any action that artificially prevents other parties from participating, such as closing the discussion before the community has had a chance to see it. If my proposal is really as meritless as you think, then you do not need to sabotage it. Darkfrog24 (talk) 04:20, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this request.
Unfortunately I believe that I have seen your described "I consider your proposed changes unnecessary, please review or publish the prior version. I will not seek a workaround, do it yourself, it is a wiki" approach more than once. Do you disagree with that? Gryllida (talk) 04:46, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox[edit]

Have an opinion on this story? Share it!


Can the article be improved? Or is some information missing which we could include in a separate report?


Task assignment[edit]

When a reviewer provides feedback, next to each actionable item there should be three buttons which effectively mean

  • "OK"
  • "I will do it"
  • "I would like to do it, but I need help"

When these buttons are pressed the user should be directed to enter a clarifying message (via a prompt). After entering it their comment should be added to the talk page for others to see it, so that they know who is working on this task. --Gryllida (talk) 00:37, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds doable. Doing it well calls for some thought, of course. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 00:57, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I find the Enterprisey's "reply link" script a bit helpful for this: link to it is in my edit summaries. It attaches to signatures, but could be modified to attach itself to any line at a talk page of an article, and to include these three templates.
If this can be done with the dialog tools, even better, then others can easier participate in its modifications. Gryllida (talk) 01:00, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent editions[edit]

I was wondering if you had added the bot flag for the account which notifies users about recent additions? And if there could be a way it could be hidden from RC.
103.254.128.98 (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've wondered whether to suggest applying for the bot flag. Technically, the bot hasn't even been cleared to run by the community, and according to WN:BOT any admin could block it if they choose. --Pi zero (talk) 03:08, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that, yes. If it runs silently, I would not have an issue of it running and serving its purpose.
103.254.128.98 (talk) 03:50, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks 103.254.128.98 (Acagastya?) and Pi zero. I would be happy to apply for the bot flag. Is there a link that adds a new section at WN:BOT with the same template as used by previous requests? (As a side note, please note that if the bot is misbehaving, its user page has instructions about how to disable it.) Gryllida (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, requests go in the last section of page WN:BOT, and there are a couple of examples there of suitable format. I don't see a template for the purpose. (This ought to be a perfect application for dialog; I need to get myself into a schedule where I do a bit of dialog work each day.)

From WN:BOT:

The bot flag will not be granted to any bot that does not have the {{botblock}} template on its userpage.
--Pi zero (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note that members of the election committee can't be endorsing candidates, which is what making a nomination would be. (Self-nomination is permitted, btw.) --Pi zero (talk) 00:57, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I would like to nominate you for ArbCom, if you’re willing to accept. I think you’ll be great in this role. --Green Giant (talk) 17:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Green Giant. I would be glad to accept the nomination. Is it online somewhere? Gryllida (talk) 22:03, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can find it here. You’ll need to add a statement saying you’ll accept it just under the nomination. --Green Giant (talk) 22:11, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strictly speaking, of course, we haven't actually required nominees to confirm that accept nomination, when the nominator is a reliable witness who's testifying that they've agreed to stand. It's certainly desirable when possible, though. :-)  --Pi zero (talk) 23:35, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the nomination and for linking it here. I have now accepted the nomination. It would be a great responsibility and I would be glad to participate. Gryllida (talk) 00:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Real time collaborative editing and Markdown support?[edit]

I was working on the transcript of an interview and on my machine, I am using Markdown for it. Etherpad on Wikimedia does not seem to be using Markdown extension, and that prevents from anyone else collaborating while preserving the Markdown syntax. Do you know of any solution?
•–• 22:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why did I not think of this? GitHub! It does not have RT, but I can track changes, which is what I needed.

Which headline is perfect for this article? Md Tanbir Islam (talk) 06:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And i don't understand that what is problem with the 1 and last paragraph? Thank you so much Md Tanbir Islam (talk) 06:08, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph MUST say the What, Who, Where, Why, When, How of the current event. In this article it says "March 10, two people confirmed with COVID-19 in Bangladesh". This is too old. It is not fresh enough to be considered news.
Instead, write "On March 23, Bangladesh authorities confirmed the second COVID-19 death in the country." or something similar. This is current.
As an illustration, please see this picture from inverted pyramid:

Are there any age limits for Wikinews?[edit]

Do you have to be a certain age to edit wikinews? ICameHereForNews (talk) 07:54, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is my personal belief that there is no age limit -- as young as children have a means and skills to read and write. Whether or not parent supervision is necessary, and if so then until what age, is different for different people and jurisdictions. Gryllida (talk) 09:40, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ICameHereForNews, Gryllida: It is worth keeping in mind that Wikinews is not censored. We don't sensationalize, but when explicit violence or sex is pertinent to the news, we'll publish words or pictures accordingly. What that means for a particular young person depends on the person; we had someone here at one time whom I knew to be in their pre-teens, once, but they were quite emotionally mature so it wasn't a problem. --Pi zero (talk) 11:00, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

re:[edit]

Hello Gryllida: thanks to you for writing. The interviewee Tairovich sent an email to: scoo (at) wn-reporters.org (In my country the email address is a fiscal address, together with your: personal phone and work phone). Collaborating in good faith. Affirming that the words and answers of the interviews are his. For my interviews I use various media, such as social networks, video calls, telephone, etc; due to the pandemic and the impossibility of transferring and meeting.

original interview in Spanish es, translation into Catalan ca and translation to English en. Regards. Marinna (talk) 17:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Marinna. Thank you for your reply. The volunteers who read scoop will need to correspond with Tairovich. Could you please write to Tairovich and let him know that he may receive a reply from wn-reporters? Thank you. Gryllida (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
