Twitter

Any chance you can set the Twitter to not send the tweet again if the story is renamed?-[1]    Tris   07:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I know of the bug. I'm not sure how to defeat it yet. The problem is that the bot reads the RSS feed, and it doesn't provide enough info about the article to prevent dupes. I'm on vacation now, but when I get back I'll try to fix it. Let me know if you see anything else. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 03:17, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Question

I am new here so the questions might sound dumb. How can we add a news story? Can we contribute a story with quotes? Can we contribute interviews? Thanks. Politis (talk) 13:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Good questions. You can add to any news story simply by clicking the "Edit" button at the top, just like any wiki page. Of course it needs to be verifiable, so if you add really new info, you might need to add a source. Most stories have quotes, so thats not a problem to add to. As for interviews, if you see something that need correcting (like a typo), you can fix that - or if you have additional background info to add, sure. Otherwise it is rather hard to add to the interview portion itself (because you're not doing the interviewing). Good luck! --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 03:20, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
