User:Skenmy/APC/February 10, 2008
This is a page for organizing worldwide coverage of the 'Anonymous' protests against the Church of Scientology on February 10, 2008. I would like to hear from those who plan to cover other locations and countries (USA, Canada, Europe, etc) also! These are the primary cities of interest for Anonymous.
Under NO circumstances are any Wikinews accredited reporter, or not, to step on the property of ANY Church of Scientology. By doing so, press or not, if unwelcome, they can have you arrested for trespassing.
If you can cover a location - add yourself! We need coverage for anything that is listed as Vacant, as well as many people on every location - 5 sets of pictures is much better than none! So just because the spot has one or more users in it, does not mean you can't still add yourself. The more reporters the better.
There are least 217 protests planned worldwide. Click here to see the entire list and if you are in or near any of these areas, please add your name and relevant information below.

Photographers:
- Obtain photographs of the protests
- Text-based interviews
- Audio (Optional)
- Other useful information (Journalist role)
Remember: We need free license images - upload them to Commons!
Videographers:
- Obtain video reports of the protests
- Video interviews
- Possibly "field reporter" sections (this is <Nickname / Real name> at <location>, for Wikinews Video)
Technical: All videos must be in Ogg Theora. Conversion from MPEG is possible by using ffmpeg2theora. It will not be possible to add video any later than 24 hours after the event - so quick turnarounds are needed!
- If I happen to be in irc when you want to upload video, I can help with conversion. Bawolff 23:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
