Urooj Rahman edit
I'm a noob re Wikinews--spend most my time on Wikipedia and Wikimedia--but am surprised to find no Wikinews story on Pakistani human right attorney Urooj Rahman. I've read several stories in the New York and global media on her in the past 4 or 6 weeks; so multitple sources exist on what has apparently become a story of some interest. The news I've seen was that she was arrested following (certain violent incidents) that arose in the early George Floyd protests in NYC, and alleged to have participated in the actual use of molotov cocktails to start fires. Here are three sources: NPR, Washington Post, and Law.com, New York Law Journal; but there are many others. Just seems a bit odd; since I assume, that Wikinews, like Wikipedia, in not censored even when the topic is going to be challenging and controversial. Cheers. N2e (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- @N2e: Like Wikipedia, Wikinews is edited by volunteers who choose to write about things that interest them. If there is something that happened in the last three days, something newsworthy, and something you would like to write, please go ahead: there are users who are ready to help you with that. The three articles you have cited are over three weeks old, and are no longer new to be newsworthy

So if something misses a news cycle of 3 days, ostensibly 'cause no global volunteer writes about it on Wikinews, then the topic passes out of interest from a Wikinews point of view. But, it could yet certainly be something that might, then or subsequently, meet the Wikipedia general notability criteria and therefore become an article in Wikipedia. Do I have that correct?

- I can speak for enwp's policies of notability, @N2e:. However, if there is something current, and newsworthy, and if you want to write about it on enwn, the sooner you do, the better.

Inactive Requested articles edit
I have been seen that no one responds to somebody. Someone post 3 times. I'm really not sure if somebody was responding to articles. 47.234.198.142 (talk) 02:45, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
