Articles[edit]
Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating Gulbar is Burnt by Her Husband in Afghanistan, we need more articles like this. There are a few issues that must be dealt with before it can be published. The most important is that it currently does not conform to our Style guide. Wikinews articles must meet certain standards. You may find the information at Writing an article to be useful.
Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to start or participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Please keep at it and try to get this article published. Getting news stories that interest you published at Wikinews can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort.—FellowWikiNews (W) 00:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
