Feeling Bored
[copied from my talk page]

You dont feeling bored while contributing to Wikinews again and again. Will you tell me if is there any kind of money or reward we gaining by contributing to this site or just waisting our time.--202.69.15.12 14:21, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There is no monetary reward, however its not boredom (trust me, I have lots of things to do that are not-wikinews related, which i should probably do more of over wikinews). I personally find contributing very rewarding, And that is because i do things that I enjoy. You'll notice if you go through my contributions that most of what I do is not writing articles&mdash;I am personally not the greatest writer, and don't really enjoy that. However there are many things here that I do enjoy doing. There is also the reward of seeing something you do appreciated by others, and seeing what you do is seen by other people. For example, While we were publishing Chris Benoit mystery editor confesses: Claims "terrible coincidence", it was an extremely exciting time to be on #wikinews, as we could really tell that what we did affect the world in some small way. It may be rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but its cool to see something you helped create being talked about by a great many people around the world. [that paticular article was cited by many other news sources, including some major ones] Really its pretty similar to why be involved in any other wiki, or (I assume) open source type project.
