editHi.
The article you created was a copy (user Acagastya and I both independently found it at news24.com). Copyright violations are not allowed on Wikinews. You also apparently copied the image from that, and claimed fair use; our fair use policy explicitly prohibits claiming fair use of from competing news services.
I recommend WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing as a compact overview of how Wikinews works. Then WN:Writing an article is an excellent resource for writing your first article.
Btw, here are comments that Acagastya left on the article's talk page:
- ==I don't think this follows the rules and guidelines==
- The news article is copied and can be found here.
- There is one source, and date has problems.
- CSS was used.
- Lede is weak, and the tense is also wrong.
- It has been signed, no category used and no Wikilinks.
- Don't know why is it notable, as well (but I can be wrong on this point)

Pages?
editYou're creating pages under strange names that transclude other standard pages on the project, afaics. What is the purpose of your doing so? --Pi zero (talk) 20:34, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

- We can clear out the spurious pages, knowing that they were a mistake. No great harm done. I'm puzzled as to what the nature of the mistake was, though. --Pi zero (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
