Getting started as a contributor
|
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. |
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. |
The core policies

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. |

- User:Pizza0614/Ontario church holds large service defying province guidelines We usually don't allow failed articles to be kept on-wiki, since wikinews is not a web-host. Any good reason to keep it there?
•–• 04:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)- Ok. Just delete it Pizza0614 (talk) 15:04, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Re your articles edit
Hi, Pizza0614. Just a note -- when you are writing a news article, please try writing at least three paras to meet the minimal length requirement. And please make sure to submit it for review when you as the author think it is ready. I as a reviewer can't start reviewing an article if it is not submitted for review. If you are facing problems with submitting the article for review, or how to write, let me know. I am here to help.

- Thanks for adding more to 45 crushed to death in stampede during Jewish festival. Could you please check the talk page review comments once, and fix the styling issue of the article and resubmit for review?

There are two simple problems to this article.
- In the lede, you need to specify wn:when the said event took place to establish if the article is new to be news. Can you please add that?
- To meet the minimal length criteria, the article needs at least three paras with each having at least two sentences. Can you please add a couple more sentences to the article to pass the minimal length requirement?
