Welcome to Wikinews

Getting started as a contributor How to write an article Pick something current? Use two independent sources? Read your sources before writing the story in your own words?. Do choose a unique title? before you start. 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. 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, Jayadevp13! 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.

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.

Comments page use

Hi. Just wanted to leave a note about this occasional complication in the use of comments pages. With a published article, you're quite right that chit-chat about the subject of the article would be better placed on the comments page rather than the talk page — but the comments page is created automatically when the article is published, and for various reasons we don't allow it to be created before then, so before publication whatever limited incidental remarks are made go on the talk page. --Pi zero (talk) 12:54, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for telling. Regards. - Jayadevp13 (talk) 12:56, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Cricket: Indian Premier League starts with win for Kolkata, Bangalore follows trend

Hi. We say on Wikinews that our initial learning curve is steep but short. It's quite common for a new contributor's first article to not make it to publication before it loses freshness; I think someone here (now an experienced Wikinewsie) noted they'd lost three out of their first five articles. It gets much easier later, as you get past that initial learning curve. The hope when a first article misses publication is that it has had time to go around the review/revise process several times, so the author learns as much as possible from it. --Pi zero (talk) 05:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

So this article isn't going to be published. Can I ask for just I favour? Can I just move this article to my own name space so that instead of getting deleted it is stored there. I can also learn a lot from this article. I hope it wouldn't be a problem. - Jayadevp13 (talk) 11:16, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I can do that for you, sure. If it were OR that didn't make it, we'd usually userspace it, and although we don't usually userspace synthesis, we can certainly accommodate reasonable requests like this. --Pi zero (talk) 12:20, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Thanks a lot. - Jayadevp13 (talk) 14:10, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
