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. |

"Pharmacy Back Office"[edit]
Hello, I would like to inform you that your article, "Pharmacy Back Office", has been deleted. Wikinews is a news site, not a place for advertising or spam. Please do not post spam on this site again, or you may be blocked. red-thunder. 16:05, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, I have deleted the page again, as it still is not a news story and is spam. If you post spam again, you will be blocked from editing. red-thunder. 17:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Positive Criticism,,,,,,,[edit]
Dear RED thunder,
Its indeed a new concept I am starting in the Retail Pharmacy Industry, and thats what I wanted to share with others, if you wish to keep WIKI-lovers away from that, your choice ! Also if you feel it like a spam or advt., its your short-sightedness, I can't help on that ! There are many other platforms available than WiKi & thats the beauty of new age !!
If you are really motivated of doing a constructive participation at WIKINEWS then, rather than deleting my hardwork, you should have helped me by editing the matter & then would have let me know about it. However thats not the case, not an issue !
History is full of witnesses that every Entreprenuer get such traditional thought hurdles in his ways, & after seeing your behaviour I feel I am walking on the right path !!
Thanks & Regards,
Prashant Salve
- Spam elsewhere then Prashant. You are obviously utterly clueless about what is acceptable on this project. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Honestly, I would love to help you write news. Unfortunately, Wikinews is not the place to post business concepts, advertisements, and such. Something that you could do, however, is start a personal wiki (with this software) and use it to serve as a site for users to discover more about your business (products, new features, ect.). I'm not trying to be the mean guy here, but the story that you posted qualified for immediate deletion (see here). red-thunder. 12:02, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
