Original reporting

Since our last edition, many articles have claimed original reporting. Here are the most recent:

Several others wrote stories based on television sources. The Wikinews Reports blog activity was mostly related to some of these stories. You can ask any of the blog authors if you want to help out on the blog.

Editor's note

In the last few months activity on Wikinews has started to increase again, and discussion has restarted on the embargoed wiki. Anonymous101 (talk) 11:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Olympic highlights: August 9, 2008[edit]

Thanks! Feel free to add content whenever you like. I suggest you create a subsection for it first then edit that to avoid edit conflicts. The idea is that we will cover as many events as possible and then publish the article once today's events have finished.Anonymous101talk 09:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding Ticker[edit]

Hi Matt, I tried to expand the ticker to my wiki ([1]). To reach this, I copied the part of common.js, common.css, ticker.js and the js for the stylesheet. I also made a source for the ticker like on your page but somehow it doesn't work. Do you have any idea why this could be?

privs[edit]

Busy elsewhere? We understand, but this is a notice of privilege expiry!
Busy elsewhere? We understand, but this is a notice of privilege expiry!

Note! Your privileges on English Wikinews have been reduced.

Under the Privilege expiry policy (enacted October 13, 2012) the rights held by your user account have been reduced due to inactivity, or lack of privilege use. You can view your user rights log here.
Point 4 of the Privilege expiry policy provides for fast-tracking reacquisition of privileges. We all understand that real-life commitments can severely curtail the level of commitment you can give to Wikinews; the privilege reduction is in no way intended as a reflection on your past work, or to imply you are unwelcome. The aim in curtailing privileges is to address security risks, and concern that a long period of inactivity means you may not be up-to-date with current policy and practices.
