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. |

Re president story
[edit]Gday
Thanks for sharing the story
I would like to ask for more information
1. When did this happen
State news announced on Tuesday
2. Where did it happen
Cairo?, Military hospital (according to al watan website(what is al watan? Why particularly in a military hospital?))
3. Why did the death occur
According to the guardian his family ssud hd was in intensive care for stomach tumour removal.
Official diagnosis??
4. How did it happen ( in this case can be the same answer as the why )
Would be nice to cross check some of this with additional sources as sometimes existing reports are mistaken or misinformed.
Please let me know if you are looking for help with any of this or can not complete within the next two hours.

- Expanded. Additional expansion to include the context of what happened in the 30 years would be great to have. The headline will need to be changed to remove the ()s using the 'rename' tab. Please check for grammar and quotes and re-submit when ready. Thanks. (I am heading offline for a few hours and your assistance would be greatly appreciated.)
