 * The problem is I don't think you can have the photo and the infobox without the article being a mess. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A fair comment. I left it there as it came as part of the template generated by the Australian Portal.  I thought it might be necessary to get the article auto listed in the AU portal, but I agree that the article is better without it. John Dalton 23:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The Australian portal is built by selecting articles that have the category Australia, plus templates for features and a few other details that don't stop you contributing. Remember the worst you can do is break something and have to ask how to fix it, we all had to figure how the wiki worked at some time or other.
 * You have a great deal of freedom here in how you present a story that has accompanying pictures, keep the date template, the sources, and the categories and you can - as long as it still qualifies as news - experiment. We've had galleries of photos as articles before, so if you could collect extensive coverage of the fire there is that option. --Brian McNeil / talk 23:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

"Fire breaks out in Ku-ring-gai Chase National park, Australia" is probably a bit too general a heading, as a fire breaks out in this area every few years, and there could well be another one next month. Maybe "First fire for 2007 in Ku-ring-gai Chase National park, Australia"? John Dalton 23:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Microsoft DRM Censors News
I've shot some video, from which I have tried to take some stills to upload to Wikinews. Unfortunately Windows media player DRM doesn't let me take stills from my own video. My Linux box is in getting faulty hardware fixed, so I'm afraid Wikinews will have to stay censored by Microsoft's DRM. Another example of DRM' in action in the field: eliminating pictures which Wikinews readers have every legal right to see. 220.233.191.2 03:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * the drm's pretty easy to get around. run another video in another program first. leave it running, then open your video and take the stills. my understanding is the drm can only cover one program at once.
