Hi.

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==
  1. The news article is copied and can be found here.
  2. There is one source, and date has problems.
  3. CSS was used.
  4. Lede is weak, and the tense is also wrong.
  5. 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? edit

You'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)Reply

Wow! I truly made a mistake here. How can i fix this? Thank you for letting me know about. Thank you very much.

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)Reply
