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. |

@SovalValtos: Hi SovalValtos. I've noticed that you're recently been having debates with IvanScrooge98 in the English wiki (that's why I'm writing here and not there). He's a user who had lots of discussions with other users, also lately, because of the way he normally behaves with others: as you've verified, he's aggressive, arrogant, he starts from being the one right while the others are wrong, or the only one educated enough to understand the correctness of his own edits. He's been blocked in 2 other projcets, nl.wikipedia (where he was identified as a noted Italian cross-wiki vandal and indefinitely blocked by a former bureaucrat) and en.wiktionary (where his block expired 5 days ago and since then he made almost 100 new edits so far), in both cases for using not just his account but also Italian IPs in order to do the edits that he liked and that other users didn't agree with (i.e. "to vandalise"). Do you think there may be grounds for reporting him to admins? To check for possible socks and more generically for make him stop with his non-collaborative behaviour? Let me know, please, and thank you for reading! Citteller (talk) 11:36, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
