Hi
If you're interested in contributing, there's a compact overview of things at WN:Pillars of Wikinews writing, and a good tutorial at WN:Writing an article. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 18:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Some comments on that page of quotes you've created about Prince.
 * We don't generally publish a list, as such. We ask for an article to be built around a focus &mdash; something specific, relevant, and fresh (those three together make up newsworthiness, and we've a page with more to say about each of the three at WN:Newsworthiness); and "people said things about Prince" is kind of nebulous.  I had to go quite a long way back to find anything at all similar; finally I found a 2012 article, World leaders react to Obama win.  Note, it's a prose article made up of paragraphs, and published the same day as the election-result article.
 * Wikinews has a license incompatible with Wikipedia's: Copying Wikipedian material to Wikinews is actually a violation of Wikipedian copyright, even though credit is given.
 * (I think there was at least one other remark I'd wanted to say, but it's slipped my mind.) --Pi zero (talk) 19:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding about suitable Wikinews content. We're a project focused on neutral, accurate 'snapshots in time' of current events; we have an extensive archive of such articles, and that's a major asset of the project (and of the wikimedian sisterhood), but the point is that each article is written when the event it's about is current.  We don't write new articles about things that happened in the past; that would be poaching on Wikipedia's territory.  An article about tributes to Prince on the occasion of his death would probably be current for only about as long as an article about the death itself:  a day or two after the death, maybe three days.  These sorts of things are discussed at the first pages I linked for you &mdash; WN:PILLARS, WN:WRITE.  --Pi zero (talk) 00:33, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Creation of "British singer George Michael, 53, dies"
You contributed to "n:George Michael Dies." I created the other one with a lot of sources and a little more content. --George Ho (talk) 11:44, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

The Weinstein Company applies for bankruptcy
Hi. Please see my review comments. --Pi zero (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I've imported the sources from NL wiki. Corrected formatting. Added wikilinks.
 * It would be nice to write about the context (for example,
 * when and who and how said about the intention to file for bankruptcy,
 * the requirements for potential buyers (I think the company wanted them to fund its existence until the deal paperwork is completed),
 * state and timing of the sexual misconduct accusations,
 * the company budget history).
 * I do not know any of this. I may be able to check tonight, but it would be nice if someone (you?) did it earlier while the story is still fresh. --Gryllida 00:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Also the dates are old, February 26. Perhaps an update of focus is necessary. --Gryllida 01:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Published: Maria Contreras-Sweet Group buys The Weinstein Company assets, saves it from bankrupcy. --Gryllida (talk) 18:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Re: Nepalese Communist parties to merge
Tip:


 * At the time of submission, it's best that the event happened today or yesterday, to allow one or two days for reviewing and revising.

Abandoned and to be deleted on March 7 (in 2 days) if work on it does not resume. --Gryllida (talk) 22:56, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
