Article
Hi, tell me where there is copyvio and I will change it. Remember, there are quotes of people, which is not copyvio. First World War (talk) 10:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like you found the talk page. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 20:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Quick deletion request
Could you take a look at Category:Speedy deletion please?-- † CM16 t c 06:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 07:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
I saw you tried to check the sources for the article above. I think they got smooshed due to edit conflict, and now they are double checked and hopefully the links I pop up with which work, will also work for you. Quite the loss, fine lady. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 02:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
I see you put the develop tag back on the above article because of the clean up tag. I tried to re-write the article, do I leave the tag, there, reply to the original tag editor, or remove the tag myself? I did change develop back to review, as I don't think the original tag editor was around and about since the last re-write, as there is no date thingie to go by, and no listing on the talk page of a discussion to know the progress or lack or progress..SriMesh | talk 03:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you think that the concerns listed on the {{cleanup}} tag have been addressed, you can remove the cleanup tag yourself and replace it with the review tag (no need to ask for permission or anything like that). Best regards, ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 03:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- What Tempo said. Just remove it yourself. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 19:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
My first article
Hey, my name's Hunter. I contribute at Wikipedia frequently, but I've never tried Wikinews before. I just tried my first article, Pennsylvania cop on trial for allegedly murdering girlfriend's estranged wife. I see that you contribute here pretty often, so I was hoping you could take a look and see if I've done this right and give me any pointers. I wasn't sure if it should go up to review or development, so I left it in development just in case. I asked a few other users for help as well. Please let me know. Thanks very much! --Hunter Kahn (talk) 03:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well by the time I got to see it, the article was already published. As for tips, read the style guide. Basically make sure you have at least 3 paragraphs, at least 2 sources (or as many as necessary to backup what you write - but don't go overboard and link every related article), and make sure it is current. When the article is ready to go, put it into {{review}} and wait. We're a little back logged in reviews right now because it seems that half the regulars are sick for one reason or another. good luck. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 22:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I'm sending out this message to all our active contributors. Just wanted to let you know that there's an article writing/reviewing contest that's in progress, if you're interested and want to join, drop a line at the above link. Thanks. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 23:18, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Book title story
I've made some changes to the source date style and paragraphs, and made other minor changes, so I was hoping you could check it out and see if I've addressed your problems. If it's still not ready, I'd appreciate some more specific feedback. For example, I really don't understand why it's failed "verifiability"...? — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 06:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Re:Earth Hour
Oh, okay. I was just eager to get that thing down because I think it is an eyesore. 
But I guess I can put up with it for a few more hours. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 03:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- I know. It's not exactly complaint with our standard design (which normally I strive for). But for what it is, it required black. I could have matched the entire page... but that would have been a serious undertaking with all our divs and templates and master css sheets. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 03:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
