Welcome to Wikinews

Getting started as a contributor How to write an article Pick something current? Use two independent sources? Read your sources before writing the story in your own words?. Do choose a unique title? before you start. Follow Wikinews' structure? for articles, answering as many of who what when where why and how? as you can; summarised in a short, two- or three-sentence opening paragraph. Once complete, your article must be three or more paragraphs. If you need help, you can add {{helpme}} to your talkpage, along with a question, or alternatively, just ask? Use this tab to enter your title and get a basic article template. [RECOMMENDED. Starts your article through the semi-automated {{develop}}—>{{review}}—>{{publish}} collaboration process.]

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. As you get more involved, you will need to look into key project policies and other discussions you can participate in; so, keep this message on this page and refer to the other links in it when you want to learn more, or have any problems.

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.

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.

Category:2023 Cricket World Cup

Hi, please don't create categories until there are at least three published articles to go in them. Seems we only have one for this and it's not (yet, hopefully) published. Thanks and welcome. Heavy Water (talk) 19:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Aah gotcha. Sorry, kinda new here hehe. Gotta learn ze ropes! Oh also, what's up with the "thanks and welcome"? Is it like some wikipedia thing? Le Priyavrat (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

I guess, When you first register with WikiNews the Welcome Bot welcomes you. MissedJetliner (talk) 20:07, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Um...not sure what you mean about "thanks and welcome". For reference, this is Wikinews, not Wikipedia. Heavy Water (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Naah everyone seems to be saying "thanks and welcome" (including the bots) at anything wiki-related. Even your first message ended with "thanks and welcome". Wondered if that was a wiki thing hehe. Le Priyavrat (talk) 20:39, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Australia beat host India to win the 2023 Men's Cricket World Cup and the others

Hi, unfortunately this, the pro-Palestinian protests article, and the Ohio schoolbus crash one went stale. There are a few basic style points for the future which I mentioned in edit summaries on the Cricket World Cup article even though I wasn't able to actually review it in time, in addition to an issue with the copyright status of the image used. You're learning fast, I hope you stick around. Heavy Water (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Ey thanks! Will look at the summaries. Le Priyavrat (talk) 18:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Well, it's been deleted now (as is standard procedure with abandoned articles); so you can't, unfortunately. Heavy Water (talk) 20:39, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
