WikiLeaks
editI have great appreciation for the reporting you are doing. It's difficult to write OR stories, and I think the ones you have been working on are admirable. Some of my critiques of Wikinews have been centered around us "adding something" to the Internet that is found anywhere else--not everything we do, though need be that--and that's what you are doing, and I think it's good. We'll stumble along the way, and I have done so in my interviews, but it's a learning process. --David Shankbone 15:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it is time to revisit if this should be on the main page. It has not been updated for days now. Did you have any success in finding someone to make a bot for updating? --SVTCobra 14:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Oil and stuff
editWell I was updating it as much I could, but I started a new job and not a lot of time.
- Please, my comment (just above that) wasn't -I mean- it wasn't incriminating... In Spanish Wikinews I constantly update the markets and well, I do it via BBC News's data, even though it hasn't got the most updated prices (10-15 min delay). What I meant is: there is no actual need to use the original sources when other sources are equally reliable (such as Bloomberg and BBC News and Yahoo! Finances). Sorry if it was incriminating. Hey! After all nobody pays us... =P - Jurock (reply) 01:54, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Image copyright
editOnly the coin image was, afaik, created by the FBI. They copied the GLogo pendant off https://laboutiquebleue.webbleu.net/, and the CLogo off http://clogo.org/main.php. The GLogo image is not free use. IdiotVictim 06:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- All images were taken as part of their investigation. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 06:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- They were not. The CLogo image was created by Norbert de Jonge, trademarked and released under GFDL, and GLogo pendan photo was taken by la Boutique BLeue. (The latter is apparent in that the Boutique Bleue's version of the photo is higher resolution and not marked on.) IdiotVictim 07:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Striking comments.
editSorry if I was coming as rude, but I was reading at the water cooler and caught the suggestion of striking offensive material as opposed to deleting it. Perhaps I will have more discussion with the folks at the water cooler to create consensus before performing any further strikes. VaporOne 00:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. Is there any other places that are trying to address "flaming." I feel flaming degrades the free speech area, but also do not want to create problems. Is there a special topic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by VaporOne (talk • contribs) 00:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Camp Delta SOP
editI hope that you understand, that when I am being harshly critical of an article, such as this, I am trying to make sure that what we publish here isn't fluff or crap. I want it to stand up to a test of legitimacy, so I challenge anything I feel that is not properly sourced or noted. Better me than someone from the "outside" is my thinking. I am not singling you out and I still think Russian opposition presents alleged evidence of election fraud is a crappy article (one with which you had nothing to do). --SVTCobra 02:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Reliable sources ... wikinews
editHi, thank you for defending Wikinews in the Wikipedia discussion, however, truth be told, our requirements for OR notes are poorly enforced. I have seen OR notes that amounted to "I saw this on TV" etc. This stuff is not verifiable, nor are interview notes that amount to "this interview took place face-to-face". I therefore hope to disuade you from arguing that this type of reporting amounts to something verifiable, and ask you to first consider Jimbo's "best-practices" idea that he presented here on Wikinews. Cheers. --SVTCobra 01:47, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- We have that, likely spread around in policies and such. I can say the style guide, accreditation policy, Welcome messages, etc etc...maybe it does need to be centralized. But point is, I am sick of WP and the sme excuses. We are as verifiable as anyone else if not more so. And if I ever see a I saw it on TV thing other than a press conference, which watching on v is like attending. And I would belive my word on that or yours over an anonymous user or new user. So the verifiability excuse is lame and getting old IMO. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:51, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I agree with Jimbo and sure we can do that, but lets be honest, is that going to make the least bit of difference in terms of WP? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:53, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe you and I would believe eachother when we say we saw it on TV, but why would anyone else in the world? They don't understand our special relationship. Furthermore, it is no one else can go back and verify it. Further, believe it or not MSM has full-time people that are there to verify the stuff that they print or air. We don't exactly have that, so to say our stuff is as good or better rings kinda hollow. But in response to your followup about Jimbo's proposal, yes, yes I believe it will. An article that is archived and tagged "This article followed Best Practices" would be considered good enough to use as a reliable source on Wikipedia. --SVTCobra 02:05, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- If we have to wait 2 weeks or more just to have US as a source on WP just to wait for an article to be protected, its not worth it. We are more reliable in terms of in depth OR reporting tan ANY MSM , IMO. And the WMF COO is a prime example. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 02:06, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- If we follow our own archiving polices, it would just be 36 hours, we just have a back-log. And really the COO story was broken by The Register, we just confirmed that they weren't lying and we sourced everything. But the problem lies with truly OR stories that have no other source that the particular Wikinewsie that is writing it. That is what needs transparency/verifiability. --SVTCobra 02:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Users like Me Shankbone etc go through lots of trouble to research online and through personal research to get stories. Remember we are not a joe schmo. We are accredited Wikinewsies. Trusted users. I would agree more if this were about anyone else other than users like us. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 02:16, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- If I may just jump in here with a trivial bit of info. The archiving policy is, "Any article which is published and dated no less than seven days from the current date should be archived per the process described below. Articles which have been published for more than 36 hours should not undergo significant edits..." Cheers and Merry Christmas! Jcart1534 02:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Dragon, are other accredited reporters lesser than you and Shankbone? Or would you agree that info from BrockF5 (talk · contribs) is immediately fit for inclusion in Wikipedia encyclopedic articles? Just asking. --SVTCobra 02:28, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- BTW, BrockF5 provides the best OR notes of anyone. He even scans his handwritten notes and uploads them. --SVTCobra 02:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- I gave names off the top of my head because they are involved in the debate. I didn't give names to single anyone out. It was purely for examples only and I resent the insinuation. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 02:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- And some of us don't have that kind of technological advantage, but does not make us any less to be trusted. BTW. Of all the interviews I did, I have e-mails, and also 90% are on audip tape if you would like me to send them. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 02:38, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- What tech advantage? A scanner? So what? Type up your notes. The fact is that when OR "materials" are not in the OR notes, it leaves outsiders wondering. They should not have to ask for someone to e-mail it to them. --SVTCobra 03:01, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- I do well with my notes thank you. And whether I type them out or not will make no difference to WP. I make a point to do good OR notes. And again I resent the insinuation that I don't. I don't have a scanner and if I could spend the money on one I would. I also have no means to upload my tapes. Wish did, because I have about 15 tapes, front and back. I love listening to them because its my best work. I wish someone else could enjoy that pleasure. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 03:05, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- I know ... you are probably the most earnest Wikinewsie we have. The point is not your notes or BrockF5's notes or David Shankbone's notes, but we do let other stories get published with poor notes. Quite a few of them in fact. Here's a recent one: New mall in Washington, US almost complete, traffic a concern (and this is just one). This is not from an accredited Wikinewsie, not even a regular contributor, yet it got published. That, I think, is why your calls to Wikipeida about Wikinews being such a reliable source ring hollow. BTW, Jason, Merry Christmas. --SVTCobra 03:18, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

- If you re-read it, you'll see that it says both. It should say one or the other or it should state it is unclear. But both sources say visitor, at least in the headline, and our title says worker (Mercury asked for login). --SVTCobra 01:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am lost as to where is says both? You mean title too? DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Title says "worker", paragraph 1 says "worker", paragraph 2 says "visitor", paragraph 3 says "patron", paragraph 4 says "worker" - that's what I mean by says both. I am done with the Seattle story, so it is all yours. However, one of you edits claimed there were arrests, I didn't see that in the sources so I removed that. Cheers, --SVTCobra 01:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I clarified as much as I could, but earlier reports were that it was two visitors and a worker that were injured/killed. And if you search google news there is a recent article, including the seattle times, where there aer at least two arrested. CNN too. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello there DragonFire1024: Thank you so much for looking over the news item that I wrote, and for tagging it for cleanup. I am sorry that it didn't meet Wikinews's standards of NPOV and I confess I am a little puzzled -- I"m an admin on the English Wikipedia where we do take NPOV extremely seriously as I'm sure you're aware, and I read all the Wikinews style guidelines and editorial policies carefully. All the claims made in the news item were those of the sourced that I referenced, not my own; I should be most grateful if you would tell me how to improve it as I would benefit from an experienced Wikinews editor instructing me as to what Wikinews considers NPOV versus the appropriate Wikipedia standard. Thank you very much for your assistance. Yours, --NicholasTurnbull 07:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, I can't use the excuse of testing my shiny new buttons to see what they do as I have them on Wikipedia ;). So, I guess that rules out any rogue-adminish behaivour ;-). Seriously, though, cheers, and see you around on-wiki! Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 15:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
My bad
editRe I still think it looks strange to quote such a generic word in the title, but fair enough. My apologies for the rename. EVula // talk // 21:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Retaining stuff
editThis was up for getting wiped in a day or so as abandoned. Just wanted to let someone know I was keeping it around rather than losing it. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Leaving?
editMy activity Level changes daily. I am not leaving Wikinews. I am sorry if that is not made clear. --User:Anonymous101 Talk 16:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that this is scheduled for deletion per WN:PROD as it seems to be abandoned. --SVTCobra 01:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's ok. I never got a response back confirming or denying the authenticity. Without that, I don't want to publish really. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 01:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
