Hi. I unfortunatly had to delete your article 2012 disaster, as it didn't really fit with Wikinews' mission. Specificly it had two problems:
 * It discussed something in the future. We're not fortune tellers, we have no idea what may or may not happen, thus in most cases articles on future events aren't acceptable. With that being said, we sometimes accept articles on future events if they are about people in the present making a fuss about some future event, but the main focus of the article must be on the fuss made in the present.
 * The second problem (the more important problem) is that it essentially was an opinion pieice. There is nothing wrong with opinion piecies, however for various reasons we do not do them (we are quite commited to neutrality). Perhaps a blog would be a more appropriate venue for your article.

However don't let this discourage you, I welcome all future contributations you might make, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
